New Bill: No food Stamps for those Convicted of Violent Crimes

[Born2BKing]

Exactly why they should be locked up. And its not like they are little 4 and 5 year olds without basic understanding of right and wrong, these are adults, and teens. I'm sorry, but if you don't have enough respect for yourself, much less anyone else around you or their property, you can simply fukk off and be locked up in your little cage for all I care. So you're going to have it rough when you get out? Good. You made it rough for someone else when you chose to commit a crime against them or their property.

So what should someone do who is a recently released prisoner, who is broke, no job and starving? You know what they will do and it will probably be at someone like your expense.

Not if you're white. As long as you're not a pedo or murderer, a felon white dude will have an easier time finding a job than a college educated black person with a clean background. Believe me.

You don't have to convince me on how the job market works, breh. I saw the thread on how the black women with a degree and experience, couldn't get an interview until she listed herself as a white. this is the World we live in.

They've had food stamps all these years, decades and generations, and did that stop them from going back to crime? Its a terrible excuse you guys are coming up with. If it had any validity, there wouldn't be repeat offenders at all, right? And why didn't they return to crime?




Because they had access to food stamps!!!!

I think it makes a big problem we have possibly worse. Do you think this bill will have a positive affect?

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

No food stamps, no food stamps, no food stamps, no no fooooood.

Don't really care. As a taxpayer, I don't like having to pay for criminals more than I have to. Nobody made these people do any of their crimes. They chose to.

the war on the impoverished of this country is pathetic

so what you think is going to happen when they go back to prison for theft and robbery?

Where do you think your tax dollars are going then?

Keep them locked up. More than likely, they will be committing another crime very soon, and it won't be for a lack of food stamps. It will be for their own gratification and inability to resist temptation. Trust me, it won't be at someone like me. I'm a full grown man. Punks like that, go at the weak and .

Better than feeding them and allowing them to roam the streets committing more crime. I'm in Cali. We have an early release program. We hear everyday how some cat who was released early, got busted again. It wasn't for a lack of food stamps. I'll gladly pay to keep these bums locked up.

Bruh, I ran one of the biggest Ex-offender programs in DeKalb County GA, so I know the struggle these cats go through. Yeah a lot of them will get jobs and prosper but in the mean time they need basic things such as food. Food stamps helped a lot of my program participants when they didn't have a friend or family member to borrow money from or get a meal from. This bill will not do anything positive for the community. People who commit crimes don't think about the consequences when they are doing it. Only thing this will do is raise crime and save the government a lil money which they will just pour into the military to fund contractors to build weapons which will never be used.

What about putting more things like this bill into motion to decrease them people in that ex offender program in the first place ? Give people a reason to think about the consequences...because lets be honest....alot of people do shyt because they know the justice system is a joke.

We can sit around and "wahhhh" "wahhhhh" "wahhhhh" about how rough our system is.....but all across the country, in big cities...where all the crime is happening....there are people walking around with 30 arrests under their belt. People in Philly (and for some reason other cities that democrats run with liberal judges on benches) right now have 4, 5 felony convictions and will get probation and no time for their next one People with 2 felonies, getting prison time on their 3rd, getting parole'd, still being on state time doing parole and killing a cop while they're out



Time to start realizing our system is actually pussified. Time for shyt like this, and stiffer, MANDATORY sentences to get these poor excuse for humans to be like before they commit that crime

I said i wouldnt waste anymore time on you but jesus christ

Listen, no one is saying that food stamps is the SOLELY responsible for crime and repeat offenders. All we are saying is that crime is going to Increase

For example. Lets say there are 1000 thefts in a year, all we saying is now ther will likely be 1500 thefts.

Of course people would repeat crimes with or without the bill..thats not the point.

The point is this bill is going to increase it even more, and this may lead to the govnt passing more bills to try and tackle the increase of thefts..and so on and so fourth. Its a slippery slope. And all im saying is they need to find another way, because the long term effects of this bill will make matters worse

Read above. The early release program is only allowing these bums to get arrested and sent back to jail again. They are committing crimes as soon as they get out. Keeping food stamps from them is going to increase it? Quit making excuses for these roaches.

you all realize that this is LAW the bill was passed


http://www.nbcnews.com/id/51994653/t/no-food-stamps-people-convicted-violent-crimes/#.UaMQf7Wgmgw

On Wednesday, the 2013 Senate Farm Bill was amended by to make those convicted of certain violent crimes ineligible for SNAP (Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, popularly known as food stamps.

The amendment was passed by unanimous consent, meaning that neither Republicans nor Democrats objected to the bill.

You don't care but if the consequences of this bill up the chances of felon committing another crime against a law abiding citizen, shouldn't we all care about that?


We have to as other's have said "look at the big picture" and on our drive (maybe understandably) for revenge and punishment.
