Blacks always Think blacks should be released no matter what. Whats new?
There are people that should be in prison, and there are many who have no need to be there.
Thanks Eddie, for talking about my home state!
I dont care much about your yapping
Here's how you fix the problem…..leave race out of it!! (You can blame your leaders which are mostly black). Get rid of your liberal leaders..Can you not see, government causes a problem, then tells you, you need government to fix the problem. You're being fooled and lied to!! Stop relying on them, THEY caused the problem ! If you want leaders, allow conservative people in to help. You'd be surprised that not all conservative people are racist Nazis! AGAIN, you're being lied to! I hate to make comparisons but look at the crime rates of liberal cities v. conservative cities. Again, not all white conservatives are racist! Your liberal leaders are misleading and lying to you. Lastly, stop watching CNN. They too are lying to you!! Watch independent channels and you'll see.
It's still a slim bill. 1400.00 is nothing and tax credits to those with kids does no good if they made 0.00 in 2020 as they are not direct payments. A good bill would be 2,000/mo for individuals in severe poverty and unemployment for those already unemployed before co-vid under FPUAC and Cares Act. Not garnishments by private debt collectors. Immediate free housing, raise in food stamps, free shoes each yr under medicaid not restricted to braces and diabetics, universal healthcare, free college and board, toiletries, laundry and food, 31.00/hr min wage now, at 33 hrs/wk with multi yrly paid vacations and multi family, sick leave/yr with cooperatives for all and other things, etc etc etc. Meanwhile, we've got McCarthy quoting Margaret Thatcher and Corporate Dems who are not far from it. Solar power now! Not nuclear. Stay away from Astrazenica Green New Deal, Star Trek NOW. In 2050 it will be way to late.
Sincerely,
The United States of America

CAPITALISM KILLS.
Thank you, Eddie, as always.
Great information decrease population
I don’t understand why all the comments on here are so full of hate. These prisoners have family,children,wives. They should have an opportunity to be rehabilitated in to productive members of society. I’m really glad I subscribed to this YouTube channel. There’s always someone new to learn about. People that are making a real difference and impacting real lives. I pray that your family members never have to go through this retched judicial system.
More releases? I hope this applies for non violent crimes. Period. And if not …As lo ng as they move in next to you.
Abolish
Absolutely not.
Especially now. When prisons have become defacto petri-dishes for the virus.
Releasing hundreds if not thousands of potentially infected people onto the general public would cause massive spikes in infection rates. More so now that we're seeing various mutations in the virus.
In fact….
With the current rate of worldwide Covid-19 mutations. I expect the worst case scenario where death rates will once again skyrocket. Hospitals will be overrun, and the country will be forced into another more draconian, prolonged lockdown.
At this point.
It's best to quarantine them exactly where they are until this pandemic is over.
For an alleged liberal state california has been particularly vicious towards the black folks who turned up there looking for a better life what ashame they have as much a right to that beautiful climate as anyone else..they did them so sorry all those vibrant black towns and cities totally gentrified with the remnants significantly reduced in numbers and living on skid row and bursting at the seams in those sadistic prisons i understand it's the wild west still to a degree but CA should be ashamed of themselves african americans had a good thing going for themselves out there.
Great show Eddie! Thank Amber for the work that you and your network is doing! ðŸ‘ðŸ¿
Dear TRNN. Read the comments. And see that your problem is not one prison in one state.
Your problem is your entire country. It's populated by fascist scum.
California prisons are also segregated and ALL inmates are FORCED to join gangs along racial lines. The California jail and prison system is a NAZI factory. If you are white you are forced to join the racist peckerwoods and its sick. Nobody ever talks about this except for youtuber systemic corruption apologists like NAZI Wes Watson and Big herc; and they seem supportive of the segregation. Please talk about this.
Thank you Brotha Eddie for sharing this content with people that care about tha Brothas and Sistas behind enemy lines trying to survive during this pandemic. To the trolls making all these dumb ass comments, if you are not a white ally shut your mouth and watch CNN or FOX NEWS.
The U.S. corporations must have the jails full so that they can make lots of $
Even Child rapist killers and those who have and still do pose a serious risk to the elderly and other vulnerable people on the outside. If this happens a rise in vigilantes will become very real because people will not stand for someone raping and killing their loved one and then be set free to hurt another.
