#1 She won election to that office w 57% of the vote and a promise to carry out the full 'restorative justice' program.

She justifies her program as based on science. Since the brain isn't fully developed until age 25 (which is a misconception since impulse control is almost completely finished by age 18), offender given big break.

#7 What's funny is these DA's don't realize that eventually, there won't be anyone to arrest and release...or as their released there will be a drive by and their "DIDIN DU NUFFIN" angel hass now learned all lives splatter.
