Abolishing Prisons?

[Lamb]

Some of the left progressives are calling to abolish prisons?

Why?

How will that help our country and don't they see how dangerous that is?

But, but, but, prisons are discriminatory. They single out minorities in our society (like burglars, rapists and killers) and deny them their basic human freedoms. Prisons bad. Bad prisons.

Never mind the way the communities the left claims to be so concerned about (poor, mostly black communities) suffer the most when criminals aren't apprehended. Why worry about the facts when you can go for some good old-fashioned posturing and tub-thumping?

We should release them and send them to the progressives homes for tea. Let's see how long that lasts

This proposal seems to be propagated mainly by people who are sympathetic to 'ordinary' criminals--thefts, random shootings, carjackings, shoplifting, assault and battery, arson, and so on.

It appears that the same people who are in favor of letting up on such criminals are unconcerned about the political prisoners being held in inhumane conditions by our government, sometimes in solitary confinement, for non-violent crimes. Among these same people are those who have openly called for detention camps and forced "re-education" of citizens who do not agree with their politics.

The reason for the inconsistency is a matter of Marxist theory--divide the nation by class and ethnicity, undermine respect for law, democracy, and the Constitution, and break down social institutions such as marriage and the family.

I guess you have to let all the rapists and murderers free if you want the prisons to have space for the really dangerous people, like the ones who didn't get their vaccines.

The left is not interested in helping our country. They don't care about the country. That such an act would be dangerous to the country doesn't matter to them.

A certain passage in the book of (Exodus) has always interested me. (Ex. 2:11-14). Moses as a young man saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. Moses engaged the Egyptian and killed him. He then tried to hide the body in the sand. (2:12)

The next day Moses found two Hebrews fighting and he intervened and asked the one who was in the wrong, 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?" (Ex. 2:13) And the one in the wrong said, "Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian?"

Note the remark of Scripture: "to him that did the wrong". (Ex. 2;13)

My point: The ones in the wrong are those who support those in the wrong. They don't care about the country. All they care about is that they get their way over the ones in the right. They don't care about how dangerous it is because they only care that the danger will be to those in the right.

I also find it interesting that I find no prison system in Scripture for Israel. Why? Because if you followed the Mosaic Law, you don't need one.
