Just what violence-racked Portland needs – reinforcements.
Oh, and COVID is over.
Oregon governor considers releasing 400 prisoners as coronavirus precaution: report
Those declared an “unacceptable safety, security or compliance risk to the community” would not be eligible, Gov. Kate Brown wrote
By Dom Calicchio | Fox NewsStory continues below advertisementOregon Gov. Kate Brown is considering commuting the sentences of as many as 400 prisoners in the state’s detention centers as a coronavirus precaution, according to reports.
The move would come as police in the state’s largest city, Portland, have their hands full with nightly riots and destruction for three straight months – with protests in other cities as well.
The prisoners eyed for early release would include those who are within two months of the end of their sentences – as well as about a dozen inmates deemed “medically vulnerable” to the virus, OregonLive.com reported.

“Given what we now know about the disease and its pervasiveness in our communities, it is appropriate to review for potential release individuals who face significant health challenges should they contract COVID-19,” Brown wrote to Colette Peters, administrator of the state’s prison system, according to OregonLive.com.
Those inmates declared an “unacceptable safety, security or compliance risk to the community” would not be eligible, the governor wrote.
The governor previously commuted the sentences of 57 inmates, according to the report.

Brown, 60, a Democrat who has been Oregon’s governor since February 2015, requested a list of names of eligible inmates be delivered to her office by Sept. 18, the news outlet reported.
So far, Oregon has seen three prison inmates die from the coronavirus from among 634 confirmed cases. More than 500 inmates have recovered, OregonLive.com reported.
Corrections workers have accounted for 177 cases of the virus, the report said.

Time to get serious Trump! Stop screwing around with weak half measures everyone with any sense knows will not fly!
The Seditious and Treasonous Deep State conspirators and Democrat State and City officials MUST be and CAN be arrested using RICO laws.
Someone should whisper that fact to AG Barr so as not to embarrass him!

Neither are masks….funny how that works. If the criminals aren’t infected why do they require social distances in PRISON?????

Of course it would never occur to Kate Brown to just give all the prisoners the masks we are forced to wear. That would not further her Marxist agenda. Unleashing criminals on us all does.

The rioter reserves to be released? What a load of crap. Why doesn’t he just give them masks that officials “claim” work at stopping the virus to spread instead of releasing criminals.

I suspect it is because s/he does not want to violate the constitutional rights of the prisoners. Yours and mine be damned BUT the criminals – now you’re talking.

Insanity Alert!
Just think: Had the constitutional framers (like their early 1600 predecessors) established government and society upon the Bible’s triune and integral moral law (the Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and judgments, including it’s Criminal JUSTICE System), there would be no tax-paid-for prisons from which to release prisoners back into society.
America’s prison system with all its inherent problems wouldn’t be necessary had the late 18th-century “founding fathers” had not rejected Yahweh as America’s Sovereign and thus His law as supreme.
Under the Bible’s juridical system prisons are superfluous. Convicted capital criminals are put to death expeditiously, per Ecclesiastes 8:11.
Non-capital criminal are required to pay two to five times restitution (depending upon the nature of the crime) to their *victims*, per Exodus 22:1ff, etc. If a thief is unable to pay the required restitution, he’s to be sold into indentured servitude until restitution has been paid, per Exodus 22:3.
If he refuses to pay restitution, his contempt of court is a capital crime for which he’s to be put to death expeditiously, per Deuteronomy 17:9-13. Unless a thief has a death wish, he’ll pay restitution.
Perfect, just like King David said it was in Psalm 19:7-11. Under such a system, crime would be all but unheard of and tax-paid-for prisons by the innocent would be non-existent.
For more on how Bible’s triune moral law applies and should be implemented today as the law of the land, see free online book “Law and Kingdom: Their Relevance Under the New Covenant” at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/law-kingdomFrame.html

But,but,but, I thought all those paper masks will protect you, so why not hand all the prisoners a mask, or is that way too much commons sense for the Liberal mindset…
