Democrats really are pushing a bill to modify the sentences of some of the most horrible criminals incarcerated in Virginia. They are also working out lower penalties for pedophiles. Crime doesn’t necessarily pay, but evil sure does. Democrats have always been evil over the past forty years, they just quit hiding it over the past 8 or 10 years.
Let’s take a look at some of the language in the bill, so you can see what crimes they want to modify the sentences for:

The primary author of this bill is none other than Senator Creigh Deeds, who ran for Attorney General of Virginia in 2005 and Governor of the state in 2009, so he is not exactly AOC-level Leftist. Instead, he is in the mainstream of the Democrat Party, which has gone completely insane.
Back when he was running for statewide office, he was considered a conservative Democrat, opposed to gay marriage and all for the death penalty, including for some juvenile offenders. Now he is all for “second chances,” including for child rapists.

Depending on the initial charges, if passed, the bill would allow someone to get a look at a revised sentence as early as 15 years.
“It’s really an opportunity for people that have served a long-term prison sentence to go back in front of their sentencing courts and have them review the sentence and look at the person not for who they are, you know, not for who they were when they committed the offense, but really who they have become today,” said Shawn Weneta, a policy strategist for ACLU of Virginia.
The Attorney General of Virginia is unimpressed, as you might imagine. He is not insane.
Attorney General Jason Miyares calls this bill “backdoor parole.”
“We’re allowing people that have a perhaps if you’re in prison for more than 15 years, there’s a chance that not only have you committed a violent act, but you also have a record and a track record of multiple criminal acts on your rap sheet,” he said. “So not only just to ignore the victims, we’re also talking about the fact that these individuals can get back in society. I mean, we are now talking about some of the most notorious criminals in the in the system. These are not people with minor charges.”
