Will Cain: 'It has become undeniable' the United States is 'less safe today than it was yesterday'
Fox News
As President Biden prepares to address the nation's crime surge, "Fox News Primetime" host Will Cain highlighted how Democratic officials have either been unresponsive to the continued violence.
Cain noted the disparity between those apprehended for the January 6 Capitol riot to those who rioted throughout the summer of 2020. He described how several suspects still being held in dire prison conditions months after they were indicted following the Capitol riot. He reported that one suspect, a high school student indicted on a weapons charge after allegedly illegally entering the Capitol with a collapsible baton on his person, remains in solitary confinement 23 hours a day. "He didn't wield [it], he didn't hurt anyone, he didn't vandalize the Capitol. what he did was wrong but does that mean we set aside the humanitarian concerns and the rule of law on pretrial detention?" asked Cain. "Does that make him a greater threat to society than someone who burns a federal building in Portland?" Cain went on to point out that Multnomah County, Oregon, District Attorney Mike Schmidt, a Democrat whose jurisdiction includes Portland, has refused to prosecute as many as 80 percent of riot cases from the past year.More Related News
