Fox host Bill O’Reilly told America Wednesday to “expect violent crime to rise even more” now that President Obama, the Department of Justice and Congress are “making it easier for pushers and other so-called non-violent criminals to avoid paying the penalty they deserve.”
O’REILLY: There is no question the USA is a violent country. Our freedom allows bad people to create criminal enterprises and also allows madmen opportunities to commit atrocious crimes … Because many drug criminals worked the minority neighborhoods in big cities, prisons became filled with people of color, prompting the left to label the anti-crime initiatives as racist … Mr. Obama and his first Attorney General Eric Holder believe there is a strong racial element in the American criminal justice system. They ignore the fact that drug dealers have devastated poor neighborhoods and enslaved millions of minority Americans over the years … So now, just in time for Halloween, the Justice Department is set to release six thousand inmates from penitentiaries all across the nation – many of them dope dealers. Also, Congress is getting ready to change some mandatory sentencing, making it easier for pushers and other so-called non-violent criminals to avoid paying the penalty they deserve. All of this liberal compassion for criminals is having an effect. Violent crime is rising quickly in many places, as more lenient sentencing and anti-police rhetoric is kicking in … After the mass prison release this month, expect violent crime to rise even more … and many of our leaders simply don’t care.
