Asian Americans have the lowest crime rates of any Americans. If all Americans behaved like Asian Americans we have murder rates like Europe. They also have the highest household wealth in America. How have Asian Americans managed to avoid lead exposure and dangerous streets?
Asian Americans don't have the same level of exposure, nor the same socioeconomic conditions. I hope you're trolling with that one.

Your argument hack doesn't work for me. You're not making an actual argument by writing Fox News or conservative websites and other predictable responses and you're not really telling me anything I don't already know but you seem to think is novel info that's gonna change my mind ("keep in mind"). Are you actually well-read on this issue? Have you read serious criminology? I'm not seeing it if you have. Do you even know police officers, judges, public defenders, etc that you've conversed with? It actually takes a lot to go to prison and our prisons aren't full of people with one conviction.

BTW, that's my point about inner-cities (ghetto is so incorrect) Arrest the few who terrorize most people and crime declines.

Bukele is popular and your response tells me you live in a safe neighborhood. Seems like Salvadorans know what's best for them and what makes their lives better more than educated and materially well-off white American liberals do. These aren't people who have the ability to live in your neighborhood. Crime matters to them because they've been terrorized by murderous gangs.
I'll chalk that one up to "those who would give up freedom for security deserve neither and will lose both".

I really did think American conservatives wanted Americans to have more freedom than El Salvadorans. Guess I was wrong. Yall sink lower every day.

Oh, an authoritarian leader is popular? Tell me you haven't learned much history without telling me you haven't learned much history.

People in poor neighborhoods also care about out of control cops because they have been subjected to out of control cops. Have you?

Shocker. You seem so reasonable.**

i made an argument that telling a person what he actually believes (which happens to be a hack political talking point) is a pretty dumb stance that makes you look unreasonable. Its a pretty good argument.
Are you actually well-read on this issue?
apparently more read than you. :p

it doesnt always take a lot to go to prison. And my proposed reforms would not change repeat offenders going away for life. They'd increase it actually. So why the opposition?

Oh, one neat trick! Just skip right over the bits about evidence and due process. Sounds great! Are you from El Salvadore?

Put me in their situation and I may decide freedom isn't worth it too. Granted. But let's be clear what we're proposing giving up.

FYI, the phrase argument hack doesn't mean "hack." It refers to associating an argument with something you find unacceptable, Fox News, rather than actually addressing the argument.

I'd rather let Salvadorans decide what's best for them. My guess is being able to breathe and go outside is more important than Miranda rights for now. It's easy to have luxury beliefs when there's less at stake.

"Oh, an authoritarian leader is popular? Tell me you haven't learned much history without telling me you haven't learned much history." Good history lesson. All popular leaders are like Hitler. That's exactly what history teaches. There's no doubt gonna be a genocide in El Salvador soon. You nailed it.

Can you show me a study on this? There are poor Asian American and they have low crime rates too. Are you being serious? Those Vietnamese who migrated here in the 70s were ballin' out of control, I guess, along with those fat cat Bangladeshis.

Set them all free. Don't imprison anyone. Tear down all prisons. All people deserve freedom no matter what they do
if when this happens then these animals corpses will litter the streets
