In these times, it bears repeating how silly notions that emanate from academia and activists, like "bail reform" and prison abolition and releasing thousands of prisoners seems, but it poses very real dangers in our society as these dangerous policies are implemented. You'll notice that this was one of those "nonviolent" drug offenders. Naive, ignorant, dare I say, "privileged" people in the upper strata, usually white liberals, are the primary prey and useful idiots who get behind this. It traces back at least as far as Tom Wolfe's identification of "radical chic" in 1970. The current pandemic is being used by these folks to make incremental gains on the policies above, and as everyone here understands, it much more laborious to scale back once policies are implemented than it is to resist them in the first place. Unfortunately, President Dum-Dum, Jared, Kim Kardashian, and most of the Republican delegation have already swallowed this piffle or simply decided to pander, in hopes of generating new votes.
