One shudders when considering what &#8220;art&#8221; would be produced by these scofflaws.<\/p>\n<p>This gentleman is seeking to unseat New York Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel, a la AOC and Joe Crowley, for apparently not being sufficiently &#8220;woke,&#8221; a term I really dislike. One shouldn&#8217;t really be surprised, considering Bowman&#8217;s background as an &#8220;education justice advocate&#8221; whatever that is, and Bronx middle school principal. So I suppose giving criminals a time-out is in his mind a perfectly acceptable form of punishment, and making them take a couple hours of art class may give them a new outlet for any anger issues and criminal proclivities they have.<\/p>\n<p>Riiiiight&#8230;. <\/p>\n<p><strong>By C. Douglas Golden<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Jamaal Bowman, a hard-left candidate looking to primary New York Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel out of a seat in New York\u2019s 16th Congressional District, is a former middle school principal.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the solutions he proposes were no doubt shaped by his milieu.<\/p>\n<p>There is a limit to what I can reasonably understand, however, and that limit has long since been reached when Bowman suggests one way to deal with crime is to let certain offenders take a two-hour art class instead of face court and jail and.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s apparently one of the Bowman campaign\u2019s positions, at least when you consider a tweet from the candidate on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman, who\u2019s looking to turn Engel \u2014 a powerful member of the Democratic House caucus \u2014 into the next Joe Crowley, is a candidate supported by the Justice Democrats, the same group that propelled Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar to victory in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Washington Free Beacon, he\u2019s a Green New Deal supporter who calls \u201cwhite male domestic terrorism\u201d the \u201cbiggest issue in our country\u201d and thinks police ought to be disarmed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the entire article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-house-candidate-nyc-supports-replacing-jail-time-art-class\/\">Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks Poe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamaal Bowman Poetrooper sends us another odd tale of a prospective Dem candidate with the perfectly &hellip; <a title=\"Dem House Candidate in NYC Supports Replacing Jail Time with Art Class\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=94606\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Dem House Candidate in NYC Supports Replacing Jail Time with Art Class<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,185,406,15,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-crime","category-guest-link","category-legal","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=94606"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94622,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94606\/revisions\/94622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=94606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=94606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=94606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
