Walter Hudson, a public official and commentator, has recently posted a series of statements on his Twitter account addressing issues related to public safety, criminal justice, and societal responses to crime.

On August 31, 2025, Hudson wrote: "We don't have a 'pandemic of arms.' We have a pandemic of insanity. Both literally and in public policy."

The following day, on September 1, 2025, he continued the discussion by stating: "If you want civilization, you need to punish criminals. Because, past a certain point, 'tolerance' will breed vigilante justice. And the fault will be on those who refused to provide real justice."

Later that same day, Hudson offered advice regarding situations involving potential unlawful detention: "If this happens to you, call 911 to report kidnapping and false imprisonment, and insist upon pressing charges. I can't fathom caving to such tactics."

These posts reflect ongoing debates about law enforcement practices and approaches to criminal justice in the United States. In recent years, discussions about crime rates and the appropriate response from both citizens and authorities have intensified across various platforms.

Hudson's remarks come amid broader national conversations concerning the balance between tolerance in society and maintaining order through established legal channels.
