Greetings Frens! Welcome to the first Kong Mailbag, where we tackle your questions.
Let’s get started!
Q (via
): We probably need more prisons. No one wants to build them because “why aren’t you tackling the root cause” but we’ve been over capacity for decades now, and that makes prisons LESS rehabilitative for dumbasses. Sociopaths you just need to lock up.A: I can feel the frustration leap off the screen. It is hard for me, a white person who checks off black and asian on job and grant applications, to justify putting more people of my identified color behind bars. Just kidding.
It is tough to get funding for law enforcement. The solution is for police to put out dancing videos like nurses, add rainbow flags to their tasers, talk about equity, etc. Prisons need to follow suit. From now on, they are not prisons. They are LGBTQ++ recruitment centers, showers in particular.
Never understood the shower sex stuff, but also never been in a prison shower. Jail guard once told me he walked into the showers and saw a guy riding another guy reverse cowgirl.
That guy doing the dick riding? Now a member of the Biden Administration.
The root cause crime stuff stuff is dog doo. Crime is committed by poor people “raised” by a single parent or Grandparent working multiple jobs. They make friends, those friends get guidance and guns from gangs. It’s like Sesame Street with more tattoos.
Prison is as rehabilitative as sending your troubled kid to Catholic school.
Excellent non-question.
Q (via
): Why is the system so soft with child abusers & molesters?A: It’s hard to justify putting pedophiles in jail when this guy is President of the United States.
Other reasons include:
criminal justice “reformers” are communists. They WANT child molesters on the street. Why? Because more crime means people get more disparate, turn to government for help. More government means more rules, more communism.
A pedophile sympathizer is now on the Supreme Court. Societal breakdown. Thank goodness she is a black woman, otherwise I’d think someone made a mistake.
It depends on where the case is. I’m guessing rural Missura is more harsh on kid diddlers than San Francisco.
My location, aka jurisdiction, puts them away for as long as possible. Even the judges who lean pro defendant get on board.
TL: DL - move somewhere less MAPpy. IKYKY.
Q (via
): I don't have any personal gripes but I often hear that it's very slow.A: Guy masters AI, stays out of trouble. What an actual Apollo.
The system is slow for many reasons, but mostly:
Lawyers are either lazy, busy…or a combination of both. The introduction of body cams everywhere makes the job longer and more boring. I love police, but their conversations are not modern Lincoln-Douglas debates. You have to watch/skim to usually get to the minute you need.
Police don’t really “police” anymore, they are poorly trained social workers with weapons. They rarely solve anything. They show up, see blood, hear it was that guy. They go talk to said guy, who is covered in blood, slurring his words, and saying something like ‘I fell at the gas station.’
Progressive policing is protecting your pension instead of being branded a racist and losing your livelihood - I get it. Sucks for everyone else.
The lazy part is on the government end. We get beaten down. The glow of being a justice defender or supporting the downtrodden wears off within a few years. Its the reason most public defenders are fat. JK, most people are fat these days. It takes alot to really distinguish the cases, they start to blend together.
“Beat his girlfriend after a night out of drinking and arguing in front of friends, who saw that coming”
“A homeless guy doing heroin, passing out on the beach, then waking up with a needle in his arm. Strange way for
to pass the time but he/they are rich so maybe I should level up"You get the point. The mind wanders, you look at job boards in court, etc. Talking to victims brings you back. That car theft victim wants a public execution, and you remember why you took the job.
Unfortunately they get probation and you have to explain to a traumatized person why the criminal justice system is broken and how George Washington would have put the person in a stockade.
Another reason is prosecutors dragging defendants through the system. It happens. You can beat the wrap but not the ride. See: every J6 defendant still locked up.
I don’t think I answered the question, but I also need to stop procrastinating and move some cases. There’s more here
DM me with other questions. Part II coming next week!
Namaste,
KONG
