I’m quoting from the Daily Mail via FR:
'You bet my bail reforms will kill people': Shocking 2007 admission of woke Waukesha DA John Chisolm who GUARANTEED innocent people would be murdered by the killers he sets free
Daily Mail ^ | Nov. 23, 2021 | Jennifer SmithThe Waukesha District Attorney whose office let out parade killer Darrell Brooks on a $1,000 bond three weeks ago previously admitted he knew his laxed bail reform would lead to killers being set free and murdering others, saying flippantly in a 2007 interview: 'You bet, it's guaranteed to happen.'
John Chisolm was elected as Milwaukee County District Attorney in 2007 and he immediately started advocating for lower cash bonds for criminals, like Brooks - a felon with a history of domestic violence charges who was most recently locked up for running over the mother of his children.
In 2007, Chisolm told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: 'Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into treatment program, who's going to go out and kill somebody? You bet. Guaranteed. It's guaranteed to happen.
'It does not invalidate the overall approach.'
His shamefaced office, which yesterday admitted they'd set an 'inappropriately low' bond amount for Brooks, has not commented on the resurfaced interview in light of Sunday's atrocity.
So, he’s not so dumb. Just evil.
Chisholm’s Wikipedia page makes interesting reading. Not only has he been in office since 2007, he has run unopposed twice. He was a prosecutor before becoming DA and apparently was well regarded.
George Saville in 18th Century England is credited as saying "Men are not hanged for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen." Whatever your feelings about horse thieves, the primary purpose of the criminal justice system should be to protect the citizenry. We seem to have lost sight of that. It would be wonderful to rehabilitate all criminals, and to treat them with a good deal of humanity, but it is their criminal and often inhumane behavior that got them the attention of our criminal justice system, and we owe more consideration to the victims than to the perps. Of course if we prefer to glorify the criminals and even replace the statues of our statesmen with those of people guilty of at the very least thuggish behavior the citizenry will eventually take matters into their own hands. It will not be pretty.
There is an honest conversation to be had about about both bail and justice reform in this country. However that conversation is being exploited by the very factions that need the actual reform brought to their door step.
This is also more proof that we as a country need to get smarter about NGOs. There are 1.5M of them currently operating in the US as quasi government entities and policy creators that are dominating our legal and political landscape.
Someone smarter than myself needs to question the legality of these semi invisible pillars of hidden government before they totally destroy our republic from within.
Problem is, all sides of the political equation are so deep in bed with them that you'll never get anyone to take that conversation seriously.
