One sixth of the population was incarcerated, that in itself is unacceptable. He has to live with what he did & people who have lived through shit like that have no sympathy for the excuse of well it was the norm at the time. I don't like being harassed for being latina & sitting on my stoop it's bullshit & will never vote for anyone that ever enforced anything of the sort.
