Eric, talk about that.
17:15
Well, I mean, they focus on the worst crimes.
17:19
Let's talk about aggravated assault on a child.
17:22
It's like, oh, that's something nobody wants, right? No one really wants someone let out on a really horrible crime.
17:28
But the reality is you can't just focus on those big crimes.
17:32
You have to realize there's a lot of other crimes and there's a lot of layers to each time someone's accused of something, whereas there's enhancements and things like that.
17:40
So It might not be such a bad crime, but there's an enhancement to it that makes it a bad crime.

And I would be called a heretic for saying that.
8:37
But, you know, I think in the ironic thing in all this is that all this stuff that's being done by the proponents of bail reform is being done to protect these communities.
8:48
And what's happening is the complete opposite.
8:51
These communities are being ravaged with crime.
8:55
And then they come out with studies and their studies say, oh, it's not that bad.
9:00
You know, and it's never like crime is.
9:02
We started letting people out of jail for free.

And I've started calling the mainstream media, you know, the Cartoon Network mainstream media is just parroting back out because it didn't cost them anything to do that.
