Greg Gutfeld: Cause and effect can lead to bad things, if you don't consider consequences

Cause and effect can lead to bad things if you don't consider the consequences of your actions. For example: if you remove consequences to criminal acts, criminals will commit more crime, but if you punish crime -- crime goes away.

See, cause and effect can lead to bad things, if you don't consider the consequences of your actions. For example: if you remove consequences to criminal acts, criminals will commit more crime! But if you punish crime -- crime goes away. Cause and effect!   You probably saw this horrible attack in NYC. It's one of many! The insaniac who punched her had been arrested 17 times, but bail reform, today, means no bail. And no jail. It's catch and release with fiends, instead of fish. The upside: the prisons aren't overcrowded. Downside: Chinatown emergency rooms are. That’s cause and effect. Cause and effect - example 2. Mayor de Blasio cut 90 plus million dollars that was meant to build a new police precinct. Because police are bad! Screamed the media. Even the ones that guard their studios. But in the last five months, NYC has had 531 shootings - up from 295 in the same time frame. I'd do the math, but I’m too important for that. So now the mayor is reinstating the money for the precinct. We could have told him that would happen. We actually did. But apparently we were drowned out by the voices in his lumpy googly-eyed head.
