Chicago’s Marxist Mayor Brandon Johnson Says Imprisoning Violent Criminals is ‘Racist, Immoral and Unholy’
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has said that imprisoning violent criminals is racist and immoral.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday alongside Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Johnson said that society needs to find other ways of dealing with the issue of violent criminals.
“We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence,” he exclaimed.
”We have already tried that, and we have ended up with the largest prison population in the world, without solving the problems of crime and violence.”
”The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, we have moved past that.”
”It is racist. It is immoral. It is unholy and it is not the way to drive violence down.”
