How is it possible that it is not possible to distinguish between violent and non violent crime? In most cases, violent crime has victims, be they animal, mineral or vegetable.
Your point is that people in jail for weed are probably violent? Based on what?
I’ll repeat my earlier question:
> Serious question: Do you work in or for law enforcement? The only people I’ve ever spoken to that maintain “people that smoke weed are indistinguishable from rapists and murderers” are people whose income in some way relies on holding that opinion.
Also I’ll add my second question:
Since there are only two groups of people, “violent criminals” (since all criminals must be assumed to be violent) and “victims”, what group does someone that’s wrongfully imprisoned fall into? Who exactly do I care about then? Criminal or victim of a shitty criminal system?
Also, would you get parole in the world of “guilty of violent crime until proven innocent” world? I’m fascinated about your willingness to make theoretical statements paired with your allergy to answering theoretical (and while we’re at it, basic factual) questions.
