How many times do I have to tell you people to never visit filthy third world countries!

So @gbamall4 still think Israel is the ruthless one? Israel is doing us a favor by exterminating some of the pests. We owe Israel big time.

Yawn.

They're trying to gin up outrage in the United States, and get more American troops over there, so the other Jihadis will support them.

Sucks to be the beheaded person, but the more outrage we show, the more likely this will continue.

How about we capture some of these isis soldiers and immolate them aztec style?

That's like saying.......they won't kill us if we don't mind getting killed.

We should gather up all the police departments that have taken military surplus equipment and send their asses to Iraq and Syria to battle with ISIS. As long as either side wipes out the other, we win. If they both kill each other, so much the better.

Why not send all the criminals? Don't you want to reduce crime?

We need to find the people financing ISIS.

Or, just bomb the Sheik Palaces in Qatar and Riyadh. Same thing.

WHY CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

experts speculate the above photo is Captain Shuddap, although research has proven inconclusive.

I would have serious reservations about trekking the world in a 2014 world trying to live a 1970's Liberal American or French reporter, with a humanitarian ire to it.

Why not send all the criminals?

Because most of the criminals shouldn't be criminals. Most people in prison are there for pot possession, which should not be a crime. As for rapists and murderers, fine. But not that 15-year-old kid who smoked a joint while black.

Yup. I'm cool with that.

Maybe we can send them some of our Realtor's. Thin out the herd.

Remember to follow along with your score card.

There are lot more people in prison for drugs than there was 40 years ago, but they only account for 1 in 5 convicts and not even half of the amount of violent offender convicts.

Sorry Dan, I take back my comment. I'm not cool with that. Your stats are false.

Those people are animals out there. Should have nuked them like Japan in WW2 and be done with it.

Call it Crazy says

Don't worry, there won't be any outrage, at least not from DC...

If you want outrage from Obama, just do this:

No.....if you want outrage from Obama, shoot a criminal that might look like his son.

I apologize to all of Patnet for the video they will have to tolerate from Dan.
Please accept my sincerest apologies.

lakermania says

Don't know where that graph comes from, but from The Bureau of Justice Statistics 2004 report Drug Use and Dependence, State and Federal Prisoners, 2004, revised in 2007,

In 2004 an estimated 333,000 prisoners were held for drug law violations; 21% of State, 55% of Federal inmates

And from The Washington Post

Focusing on drug offenses is a smart way to go about reducing the federal incarceration rate. According to data in Why Are So Many Americans in Prison?, a new book by UC - Berkeley's Steven Raphael and UCLA's Michael Stoll, the most serious charge for 51 percent of federal inmates in 2010 was a drug offense. By comparison, homicide was the most serious charge for only 1 percent, and robbery was the most serious charge against 4 percent.

Violent criminals are a tiny fraction of federal prisoners. The drug offenses (51%) are more common than all other types of crimes put together.

Now, I'm sure that on the state level there are some states like Colorado and Washington that have much fewer drug incarcerations than states like Arizona because of arbitrary state preferences in convicting people for drug offenses. Basically states that want to rig elections have more drug-related incarcerations and those incarcerations disproportionately affect certain voting blocks, whoever the people in control of the state don't want voting.

You should know by know that when I quote stats, I have credible evidence to back them up.

they are fuckin nuts over there, and you'd have to be nuts to go over there in any capacity other than an armed military unit.

Dan, your chart shows only 180,000 some are in federal prisons. ????? Please explain.

Those are federal prisons, not state, and not local jails. Read the linked BJS report and Washington Post article for details.

Then we are comparing apples to oranges. You could be right, and so could lakermania. We should really look at all those who are in jail....Federal state or local.

Wow, look, Violent crime hasn't budged in 15 years. What are "Public Order" offenses? Intoxication?

We could save a shit ton of money by eliminating all of most of the drug incarcerations.

Ok so now it's only federal prisoners that you were talking about. Well you didn't state that before. But I don't see why you would focus on just federal prisons in 2004 because they only had about 1/10 the population of state prisons who's violent offender population is slightly above 50%. The chart is correct, almost half the prison population in the US, both state and federal is there for a violent crime, and the population for drug offenses doesn't even equal half that of the violent offenders.

http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/p04.pdf

It is critical to 25 to life violent criminals. The experience in cuidad juarez across the border shows what happens when you have corrupt and incompetent government. Less than 3% of the murders are even persecuted much less result in conviction. The result is close to 10 murders per day at the peak of drug war (by comparison the dangerous oakland average roughly 1 murder every 3 days). Consequently the narcos feel like they can get away with murder with impunity and murder as well as racketeering/extortion of businesses rule the land.

Yawn: Wake me when ISIS has printed money or fucked with interest rates.
