It's certainly not in New York City.
When I was on a grand jury and these weed cases came along, people wouldn't even indict them.
They're just like, we're not taking part of this.
So for you to get to look at, what's the guy who was on the Jordan Neely?
But he had 40 arrests.
The one who punched that girl in the face, the old lady in the face and tried to kidnap a girl.
So for you to be in jail in New York, it's not nothing.
Why would they want to do this?
Because their principle is the system or society, whatever you want to call it, whatever the term for it is, is making people who are marginalized desperate.
So instead of putting them in jail, which helps no one is the argument, we should be working with them systemically to kind of normalize and make productive citizens out of them.
