Actually sometimes we forget that most of the people Arpaio is harrasing and putting in Jail are non-violent non-dangerous people. That is where many people don’t understand. Joe likes to paint the picture that he is getting tough on the “bad guys” but really he is harrasing the average, unfortunate anybody. Immigrants, drug users, hispanics, and people who stand up to joe haven’t made any “attacks” on society. He just uses them as scape goats to pull his stunts to attract media attention.

Another thing is, even if some VERY FEW of his inmates really are “bad guys” I have never seen any evidence nor any psychological study which shows that by abusing people they become better people. Most people in jail will get out of jail some day and it is much better to concentrate on rehabilitation so that they become better members of society instead of abusing them and very likely making them even worse offender.

Another thing, Phoenix has one of the highest crime rates in the US and is one of the more dangerous cities in the US. Joe has been in office several years and if his stunts really worked, then why is this the case?

I say “Joe’s gotta go.”

Judge Riyad Kalla has labeled her article “corrupt Joe Arpaio” , I assume thats all we need to know about her, she has made her judgement and we would be in contempt of the court if we disagreed with her,

I guess we sometimes forget that these criminals have made attacks on normal society and in most cases should be punished without sympathy. We as good democrats need to be aware of the rights of the victims and support them above all. Breaking the law is an attack on society , it is an attack on everyone not just the victim. When someone ignores the law of the land and attacks us I would hope that there would be a whole army of good american citizens like joe to insure that justice is applied. And when some news reporter or judge trys to block this protection afforded by our laws they should be spot lighted as criminals also.

Pam,
Please clarify… which portion of this was specifically democratic in nature?

As far as my own political leanings… I’m not sure where I fall, I just know that political corruption is getting a bit boring to hear about day in and day out on *both* sides and Joe Arpaio… regardless of where he lands in that, certainly seems to be guilty of his own wrong-doings over the years.
