Some proposals for dealing with crime are stunning in their sheer ignorance. Like the idea canvassed by Black activist lawyer Ben Crump, who was the civil liberty lawyer for Saint George Floyd, whose untimely death led to the left burning down America. His "brilliant" idea is to solve the problem of Black crime (he admitted, "They made the laws to criminalize our culture – black culture,"), by legalising crime, or rather the activities that now constitute crime, such as robbery.
It is not clear how far this one goes, and how far he has thought it through, if that is the right way of describing it? What about murder? And murder by Blacks of other Blacks, including Black lawyers? Applied to places like Chicago it will likely result in a world depicted in the TV series, The Purge, where everyone dies. Go back to the drawing board, Ben.

"During a recent appearance on MSNBC, a black activist lawyer suggested that crime in the United States could be completely eliminated if all crime was just legalized.
Yes, really.
The comments were made by Ben Crump, who specializes in civil rights cases and was the attorney for the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
"We can get rid of all the crime in America overnight, just like that," Crump told his fellow guests, one of whom was civil rights activist Al Sharpton.
"And people ask 'how attorney Crump?' – change the definition of crime."
"Of course!" responded another guest.
"If you get to define what conduct is gonna be made criminal, you can predict who the criminals are gonna be," added Crump.
Another guest responded by saying that suggested all black people were criminals by their nature.
"They made the laws to criminalize our culture – black culture," responded Crump.
Respondents on X asserted that Crump was essentially acknowledging someone he probably didn't intend to."
