Matt Walsh on El Salvador's radical new idea: actually punishing criminals:
Walsh's central contention is that no society is perfect, and every society has a measure of ugliness. So the question becomes: where do you locate that ugliness? In a society that punishes criminals, most of that ugliness will be confined to prisons with rough conditions. In an overly permissive society, that ugliness will spill out into neighborhoods and businesses, making life unlivable (as we see happening in Democrat-run shithole cities). Is there a price to be paid for having an orderly society? Walsh faces the ethical question head-on and proclaims that, yes, it's worth the risk of occasionally imprisoning the wrong person or not enacting perfect justice if this means having an orderly, peaceful society. Otherwise, you get chaos, mayhem, lawlessness, and all the rest while people sit around passively, doing nothing.
