ShortKing Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Couple of quick ideas off the top of my head: If death penalty is active, an option to make it a public execution and abolishing cash bail for misdemeanors and non-violent felonies or for all criminal charges whatsoever. Maybe if a certain level of corruption or state party machinery is reached, an action to exercise prosecutorial discretion in favor of your political allies and against adversaries? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vols21 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 We need “Running Man” type game shows where criminals are chased down by our heroes. If the criminal survives he gets to join the cast, Also for future. Have the annual survivor island where the violent felons are taken to fight it out, the survivor gets a chance to win a pardon. Might be some other pop culture movies to borrow from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willthescout7 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 34 minutes ago, jvikings1 said: War on Drugs Allow states to regulate drugs Legalize Marijuana Legalize Hard Drugs I wonder if the legalizing of drugs should be a stepping stone. Instead of having legalize Hard Drugs be an option, one of the preregs is that you have to have passed medicinal usage, or supervised areas where you are allowed to use (thinking of the areas New York & I think Oregon set up). Once those are passed, then you can take the next step of full legalization. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConservativeElector2 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Instead of abolishing capital punishment the option of a moratorium could also be included as Gov Action and Federal policy (finally something the AG could actively decide in order to make the position/player more engaging?!). The Garland Justice Department issued one, and California is another example, I think. Additionally, if not already done so, I would suggest to split Federal capital punishment and capital punishment by the US military. I guess if one is abolished the other one would not be abolished automatically. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
