-Lurid Crime Tales-
NYC Mayor Eric Adams turns to Chicago's Lightfoot for ideas on how to tackle violent crime... even as violent crime surges 34% in the Windy City
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Eric Adams and Lori Lightfoot met privately and had a 'hastily scheduled' presser Friday

  • The mayors of New York and Chicago pledged to work together to fight crime

  • Crime in NYC is up 45% compared to last year - in Chicago it's up 34%

  • Transit crimes are also up in both cities, with Adams saying that he hopes to 'learn' from what Lightfoot and Chicago officials are doing to combat it

  • Crime, a major part of Adam's candidacy, continues to go up following a staggering 60% increase in the month of February over the same period last year

#1  Recivilization require a sacrifice in blood. Usually more of the perps than victims. Unfortunately, you're too wrapped up in CRT to make that commitment.

#2  Adams might look to someone like Rudy as someone who impacted crime in the Big Apple. Nothings going to occur by seeking advice from Lightfoot. She's done zip for Chicago. Adam's would do better to arm the honest citizens of NYC.

#3  Adam's might check to see if Bernhard Goetz is available for clean-up a job.

#5  both NYC and Chicago have demoralized their police forces

both have prosecutors who won't prosecute

so

a lot to talk about

#6  How about actually putting these idiots in prison for long stretches? Or drop them off the top of the Empire state building. Both work for me.

#8  Criminal behavior and crime suppression are antagonistic forces. In times past the suppression was more organized but rigidly managed, the criminal was opportunistic but mostly individualized behavior. Warehousing large numbers of the criminal class for years, and the credible threat of so doing acted as a suppression factor as long as public support saw the relative efficacy of the process. You commit a crime, you get caught, you are fairly judged, and you are warehoused. Today, each part of this process has been fragmented. LE is hyper-rigidly monitored and in casses involving POC, potentially career ending even if precise rules are followed if the community climate has become racialized. Crimnal behavior has become culturally normative amongst many urban minorities, and more importantly, organized effectively, usually in tribal/gang structures. The criminal justice system has been undermined by racial reasoning despite massive evidence to the contrary, and disparate outcomes are rampant where prosecutorial integrity has been compromised. Finally, warehousing has been demonized as unjustly punitive to one segment of society, despite all the evidence that occupants were overwhelming deserving of their occupancy. Voila, our current growing problem. The old paradigm works quite satisfactorily, but so much of it is so corroded by mistrust and neglect, the restorative actions will have an initial tsunami of visible effect that may likely overwhelm any political force employing them. Hence the drift in urban areas towards impoverished cancers of public apathy, corruption, violence and political sedition. The fix at this point, is growing towards a quite ungly set of alternatives, none of then pretty, and most terminally destructive of the traditional American dream. I wish it wasn't so, and hope I am delusional in my dotage, but if not, fort up my friends, fill the larders and find ways to hold what you have locally!

#1  Hunter's cut or the 'Big Guy's?
Posted by: Procopius2k || 03/23/2022 8:16 Comments || Top||

#2  That's a lot of lucre from a mere member of parliament of a country not well known for its widespread wealth.

There are now calls for a criminal investigation into border guards at the crossing in the country’s Transcarpathian region, where it is alleged a blind eye has been turned to cash flowing out of the country.

Not sure if Blind Eye is what is going on here. Escorted by 2 Hungarians sounds like they hired, for lack of a better term, coyotes to get them across the border. Somebody didn't get paid, didn't get the memo, or just too damn obvious.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Hillary Clinton tests positive for COVID-19
[JPost] Apparently it has bridged the human/reptile bio-curtain
Hillary Clinton, former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee, tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. She tweeted: "I've got some mild cold symptoms but am feeling fine." Her tweet also urges citizens to get the COVID vaccine.

Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton was found negative.
Since he hasn't touched her for two years+ before Chelsea was turkey-basted

#4 

While having a Total dislike for the woman.
I hope she recovers or else we will be shorted some interesting future political news and possible criminal indictments.

Note: I thought all ELITES that were pushing forcing the VAX on us, already had their own VAX's up to date? Or is this another "Do as I say, Not as I do" Liberal Agenda command?

'I hope Gitmo detainees die in jail': Furious Lindsey Graham STORMS OUT of SCOTUS nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's hearing after she backed defending terror suspects
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Senator Lindsey Graham had a heated rant before storming out of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation questioning Tuesday

  • He was railing against Democrats and advocates who want Guantanamo Bay detainees released

  • 'As long as they're dangerous, I hope they all die in jail if they're going to go back and kill Americans,' Graham yelled when speaking of the Guantanamo Bay detainees

  • Added: 'It won't bother me one bit if 39 of them die in prison. That's a better outcome than letting them go'

  • Jackson arrived at the Capitol Tuesday for the second day of her confirmation hearings before the senate Judiciary Committee

  • She passionately defended her record in sentencing child porn offenders

  • Said she was limited by sentencing guidelines by statutes and Congress

  • Also would not weigh in on whether she would support court packing

  • 'I am not importing my personal views or policy preferences,' she ensured

  • Jackson made history Monday by appearing before the panel as the first black woman nominated to the Supreme Court

#1  Graham is an USAF reserve JAG officer, IIRC. Nice to see a member of the bar uphold due process and right to a speedy trial (o.k., the jury of one's peers might be tough with those scum bags at GITMO, but still....).

#2  Every person deserves representation… except Jan 6 tourists, Ashley Babbitt, Gen. Flynn…..

#3  And Lindsey Graham acting tough looks like Ruth Buzzy swinging her purse.

#4  Remember they got Trump's lawyers to quit on threats of just representing him. They set the standard, now live with it.

#5  The Washington establishment wants to decriminalize child molestation and add it to the LGBT community list of activities.

She is very likely to be confirmed.
Posted by: Besoeker || 03/23/2022 9:15 Comments || Top||

#6  ^ If enough of that sort of thing becomes "legal," society at large will just have to deal with it in "other ways..."
Posted by: M. Murcek || 03/23/2022 9:18 Comments || Top||

#7  Those in GITMO should have been shot as soon as any information they had was too old to be useful. They're homo hostis generis, and deserve no trials.
