Liberals are always soft on crime. I don't understand their thinking at all. They want to coddle criminals instead of punishing them. No wonder our country is in trouble.
They are far from soft on crime.
What they do is redefine crime and deviancy.
Consider:
Homosexual - born that way, has no choice but to act that way, cannot act any other way = CONSENTING ADULT
Pedophile - born that way, has no choice but to act that way, cannot act any other way = VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
Drunk female - got that way by choice, knows young men want to have sex, deliberately sought out social situation with drunk men = CANNOT BE CONSENTING adult VICTIM
Drunk male - got that way by choice, knows young women who are drunk are pliable, deliberately sought out social situation with drunk women = CONSENTING ADULT GUILTY OF CRIME
Never mistake a tyrant as soft on crime; understand it's nothing more than a matter of what they choose to deem as a crime.
