    There’s the Republican mindset on full display. They don’t give a shit about crime victims, except as a sort of real-life MacGuffin to justify bringing the hammer of retribution down on the offender. They don’t want to stop crime, indeed, they need a steady stream of offenders, because the cruelty of punishment is the point. Depress wages and create more crimes to punish? A double-win for people like her.
