Criminal Justice Reform Is Needed, but Not Like the Left Wants

Leading into the COVID pandemic, one of the biggest things the left was pushing for wasn't lockdowns, shutting down private businesses, or any of the hysteria they engaged in starting after Joe Biden took office in 2020. In fact, most denied COVID-19 was even a thing to be concerned about until they could leverage it for their own purposes.

No, one of the things they were worried about was bail reform, also termed "criminal justice reform."

See, they didn't think those arrested should be held if they didn't have money for bail. They argued that people were essentially being imprisoned without having been tried first.

And a lot of people swallowed that, and our jails might as well have installed revolving doors, because violent criminals were often right back out on the streets within minutes after their arrests.

Some Democrats have tried to walk that back, but I'm going to say that we do need bail reform and criminal justice reform. We just need it in a different direction.
