That you're confused about what happened, yet make no effort to find out the truth, only shows that your confusion is intentional. Therefore it's not actually confusion (my bad for saying so) but stupidity running rampant in a failed effort to make yourself relevant in a world which doesn't give a shit about you or anything you do or say.

Good luck in all your future endeavors.

Thanks, I appreciate your encouragement. Wishing you the same, but know the outcome isn't likely.

More of the stupid spite and spittle on your part won't improve your sorry assed lot in life. Not that you're aware enough to understand how the 2 are connected.

Good luck with that.

The threat of punishment does not deter crime. There was a time when ordinary, non-violent theft was punishable by death, and thieves were quite often hanged in public. But there was still a whole lot of theft.

Reality:

The threat of punishment didn't stop any of us from doing what we were told not to do. The punishment made most of us think twice before doing it again. Hence the deterrence effect.

No, it doesn't stop recidivism either.

Not only are you a liar, but you're a fool too because you believe everyone agrees with your lies or won't bother to check them.

Recidivism currently is 66% so it seems to be working for most.

66% would mean it is not working for most.

In any case, recidivism does seem to be significantly higher in the U.S. than in countries with gentler criminal justice and penal systems.

Not incarcerating criminals as part of a social policy probably has something to do with that.

But you go ahead and continue to spew your lies in support of the society you'll never achieve.

I'm not the one telling lies here. And within your lifetime, America is going to go so far left you won't recognize it. Inevitable result of demographic change -- not racial or ethnic, but generational.

Good luck with that.

More spittle and spite won’t fix what’s broken in your sorry excuse for a life. Not that you’re self-aware enough to see the connection.

Good luck clinging to that delusion.

You keep swinging like any of it matters—what you think you know, who you think you are, or that your tantrums register with anyone who counts.

Give it a rest, Dudley. Even the worst jockey knows when the horse is dead—and you're still out here flogging bones.

They were all falsely charged. The SCOTUS threw out Biden's use of the Sarbanes Oxley Act in charging many of those rioters last year.

“Rioters” as you note above… since they were rioters, they were not falsely charged. And it was a gross misuse of power to pardon them.
