re: #23 Unshaken Defiance

The topic of felony disenfranchisement really deserves the attention. I’ll say this as an advocate for sensible self defense rights. If you had “malice and aforethought” and drew blood or shot at someone too bad. If you raped a person be glad you ever get to see the sun and shut up.

Then we have the vast majority of felons that screwed up in ways that did not intend to injure or kill. Sold cocaine, or pot, or x. Did your time? Living the legal and kindly life? Let me register you to participate again.

Too many people in this country flat out don’t get that most people in jail and prison are getting out. They just want to punish, punish. Making it hard for them to re-adjust to society will not only be harmful to these individuals but I think also cause them to be more likely to re-offend. Rehabilitation isn’t just for the convict, it’s for society’s benefit too.
