Yet another "progressive" mind goes to waste

I'm sure every liberal out there would call Eliot Spitzer a "progressive" by every standard available. He might even be the standard bearer for "progressive" thought.

Well here's the decision making acumen by said "progressive"

Nearly every one of the 225 violent felons authorized for release during Gov. Spitzer's first 11 months in office had been convicted of murder, records made public by the state Parole Board yesterday showed.

The figures revealed that 215 of the inmates granted parole were convicted murderers while the rest had been convicted of either attempted murder or kidnapping.

"This is greatly disturbing," said Senate Crime Victims, Crime and Corrections Committee Chairman Michael Nozzolio (R-Seneca Falls), who held a hearing on Spitzer-administration parole policies earlier in the week.

"We're not just seeing violent felons released, we're seeing murderers get out-of-jail-free cards," he continued.

The new figures were made public in the wake of published reports that the number of violent felons released on parole dramatically increased after Democrat Spitzer succeeded Republican Gov. George Pataki, who had ordered the Parole Board to restrict the release of dangerous inmates.

Now let me ask you a question Mr. Progressive.

Where are these thugs and miscreants going to live? They're not heading to Redville to reside, where we have things like concealed carry permits and effective law enforcement.

No. These thugs are going to go back to the city, where they can prey upon innocent people in those communities. So your cycle of poverty can continue to circle down the drain.

Tell me again how liberal = progressive. What's so damn progressive about criminals victimizing your residents?
