Why Crime Will Explode In 2023
2023-01-02
[Townhall] If you reward criminals with fewer consequences, crime grows exponentially.

So mark January 1st 2024 on the calendar.

Today January 1st 2023, a new law goes into effect. The law will leave a major impact on the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago.

In some circles it is being touted as "the most dangerous law in America." All for good reason.

The new law closely mirrors criminal "reforms" that have now been in effect for two years here in New York. In short it seeks to "right the wrongs" of "unfair" law enforcement and to press its thumb on the side of those previously disenfranchised.

This is mostly just a way to say that the woke left is attempting to bring down effective law enforcement in another big state, create chaos, and further allow that environment of anarchy to bring about their culturally marxist ideals.

We’ve seen the pattern across the nation. Change enforcement of criminal codes so that actions that once were considered serious crimes to simple misdemeanors, refuse to prosecute, let criminals roam freely to terrorize once again.

In other words if you can’t get cities to defund the police directly, create such a difficult job for them that they more or less quit doing the job they do best: stopping crime and protecting citizens.

And while they’ve been very unsuccessful in getting actual police departments to lose funding, they have been moderately effective at installing DA’s who just refuse to enforce the laws as written.

And now a couple of states they’ve been most effective at getting "criminal reforms" passed and laws changed so that criminals en masse don’t have a healthy fear of committing crime.

New York led the way on this with its "bail reform" law that was passed by touting how fair it was to those who had been prejudiced by the system. Now a couple of years into it being law, New York is a crime ridden tenement smelling of weed, with blind assaults being committed on innocent bystanders, and rotating doors at the precinct booking offices where some criminals literally are being charged multiple times per day and are back out on the street before the arresting officer has finished their paperwork.

#3  Had a spate of shootings over the New Year's weekend here in Florida. Every single news story showed police tape in a seedy neighborhood with trash in the yards and multiple expensive vehicles in each driveway. Exception was elderly husband and wife killed in their condo.

The media here is treating this all as a "run-up" to the Wild West that is always screeched about but never arrives in the wake of Constitutional Carry legislation, which may or may not be on deck here given the conniving natures of our alleged GOP state reps.
