Description

Carmel, Indiana, has been named the “Best Place to Live” by U.S. News & World Report, and Mayor Sue Finkam tells “NewsNation Prime” she wants to keep it that way. That’s why, she said, she recently took neighboring Marion County to task for releasing habitual offenders who commit crimes in her community. “I can’t tell you if it’s a prosecutor, if it’s the judges, if it’s the jail overcrowding, or if it’s a little bit of everything,” says Finkam. “I was very careful in my comments last week to not point fingers.” #CarmelIN #Crime "NewsNation Prime" is America’s source for unbiased news offering a full range of perspectives from across the U.S. Weekends starting at 7p/6C. #Prime NewsNation is your source for fact-based, unbiased news for all Americans.

She's not wrong. The prosecutor and mayor of Indianapolis are unwilling to hold criminals accountable.

As long as the county borders are open, people will cross them! CLOSE THE BORDERS! CLOSE THEM ALL...or close none of them. They ALL matter, or none of them do!

She’s exactly right. Courts have to start laying down the law. No more letting people off easy. If someone’s rap sheet adds up, punish them hard-can’t keep letting them off
