It's About Behavior, Not Race
Paul Mirengoff:
Lowering standard [sic] and, in effect, laughing off what has always been deemed criminal behavior (in this case, outright theft) simply because one segment of the population refuses to comply is a recipe for societal decline.
At the low end of criminality spectrum, fare-jumping will now effectively be excused, at least in D.C. At the high end, there is a bipartisan push to grant significant leniency to major drug dealers, with racial disproportionality a major argument advanced in favor of this move.
What other crimes will we be asked to shrug our shoulders at, or go much easier on, in the name of racial equity?
