Happily we are all too smart to fall for that malarkey, right Ty?
Only 2% committed violent felonies! That’s only 2,000 preventable violent felonies! Well, two percent sounds better, let’s stick with that.
Only one-fifth committed any crime! That’s only 20,000 preventable crimes! Or 20%! Well, one-fifth sounds lower, let’s stick with that.
That means “nearly” 80,000 people didn’t rot in jail awaiting trial! Of course, many of them wouldn’t have anyway, regardless of this new law. But let’s just claim the new law is the reason.
That great conservative leader, Benjamin Disraeli said, “There are three types of lies. Lies, damn lies, and statistics”.
