Filthy fraud
A Sorosian demon in New Zealand is serving Soros loyally. As usual the Sorosian demon starts with a real problem:

Minister of Justice Andrew Little has laid out a vision for criminal justice reform which sees sentencing law relaxed and a rejection of "tough on crime"-style politics.

Little said "so-called law-and-order" policies have been a 30-year failure and locking up more people with longer sentences hasn't made New Zealand safer.

"New Zealand needs to completely change the way criminal justice works," he said. "It is a big challenge we are facing. It's not an issue that's been a short time in the making.

True everywhere. The automatic use of prison as a response to all actions defined as crimes is counterproductive, intentionally so. As usual governments are "solving" a problem with methods deliberately designed to increase the problem, so governments can expand their budget and power to "solve" the problem with methods deliberately designed to increase the problem, so governments can expand their budget and power to "solve" the problem with methods deliberately designed to increase the problem, so governments can expand...

He said he wanted a "national conversation" which sought out the best ideas but also led to a better informed nation that understood "tough-on-crime" policies were leaving a legacy of failure.

National conversation = Soros commands, Deplorables die.

This particular demon fails to specify exactly what he will do instead of prison, which is another alarm bell.

Here's the closest he gets to a concrete proposal:

"The bits that are occupied by prisoners are, frankly, frightful. The whole environment is not one where you are going to feel, 'this is a time and a place where I can get to grips with myself and turn my life around'.

He said the training room at Waikeria was "literally a concrete box. "It's not an environment where you can learn. There's nothing therapeutic about it at all."

His only concrete proposal is that we need less concrete. What instead? Rainbow curtains? Pussy hats? Ballet slippers?

= = = = =

I've given practical proposals many times. Not necessarily the best ideas, but unquestionably functional ideas.

Rehashing:

1. Laws should agree with Natural Law. Actions that directly take things or physically harm people should be punished or deterred. Actions like drinking, drugging, prostitution or saying unfashionable things should be ignored by the court system.

2. Restore restorative justice. Most takings should be "undone" by givings, not by prison time. Only use prison when the restitution fails.

3. Distinguish SHARPLY between circumstantial law-breakers and professional criminals. It's easy. Youngsters who are recruited by a gang leader shouldn't be in jail at all. Professional criminals should be in jail for life. Unlike most aspects of life, this is binary. Very little gray area between the two.

4. The circumstantial law-breakers should be doing GENUINELY USEFUL PHYSICAL WORK which FEELS useful. Every task should reach a noticeable conclusion or completion at the end of each day. This probably requires something like bound apprenticeship, which was both common and effective before 1920.



It's conceivable that Demon Little's National Conversation will consider these goals, but in practice the chance is somewhere around 0.000000000000000000%.
