Democrats did cave. It was embarrassing to say the least.

My state gets paid to take other states hardened criminals and house them here. When they have served their time these hardened criminals are released in my state.

To feign terror at ruthless individuals being released in this state is such a frigging joke it's ridiculous. We built a prison industry and now we are toooooo chicken to hold our supposed enemies.

It's ludicrous.

One would be liable to think that these prisoners are radioactive space zombies or the worse super-powered villains from Superman's Rogues Gallery!
