Tough-On-Crime Democrats Propose ‘100 Strikes And You’re Out’ Law
Facing heavy criticism for going easy on violent criminals, a group of Democrats sought to prove that they are tough on crime by proposing a bold new "100 Strikes and You're Out" law.
The new initiative brought forward by Democrats was praised by media outlets as a step in the right direction to hold violent, murderous criminals accountable after they have brazenly committed 100 horrific acts against innocent victims.
"At some point, enough is enough," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "There is simply a line which no one must cross, and that line is at 100 serious crimes committed. We cannot allow this type of wanton disregard for law and order in our cities, which is why we — the party that is tough on crime — are proposing legislation that will limit the number of chances these criminals have to just 100. No more."
Other prominent Democrats were quick to join the charge. . "Look, we're reasonable," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We understand that sometimes people need second chances. And third chances. And seventy-fifth chances. Maybe eighty-ninth chances. But once you have 100 strikes, we're taking a hardline stance. You're out."
At publishing time, Democrats clarified that the "100 Strikes and You're Out" law would only apply to Caucasian criminals.
