Posted April 13, 20223 yr I've been dumping stories like these into the George Floyd thread, but I think this topic deserves a thread of its own. This thread is for discussing criminality in cities with liberal DAs. Basically they are dystopian hellholes that probably would have seemed far fetched as little as ten years ago. This is the end result of liberal criminal justice reform:

I was in Texas 16 years ago for my brothers wedding, and stopped at the Walmart in Tyler Texas for a couple cases of water. They had a city cop stationed in the Electronics section due to all the smash and grabs by the white meth heads. You need to stop your narrative that only POC in Democrat cities commit crime. This was the voting in the 2020 election in Smith County Texas. Big gun and Republican state, still has crime.
April 13, 20223 yr im glad we have a thread for this now. i dont go into the floyd thread much so i miss the crazyness.

Can't tell the skin color of this one, but in LA there's been an unprecedented 48 hours of lawlessness. The thugs ran down a lady in a car to steal her watch:

This was the voting in the 2020 election in Smith County Texas. Big gun and Republican state, still has crime. His point is that big cities run by liberals are violent. Which is stupid because nearly every big city in the country is run by liberals, because they're big cities, which means it's more helpful to look at the smaller sample size of big cities that are run by Republicans to see how they're doing. Of the top 30 biggest cities, only 3 have a Republican mayor: Jacksonville, FL, Ft Worth, TX and Oklahoma City, OK. Jacksonville is the murder capital of Florida. Ft. Worth hit a 27 year high in homicides last year. Oklahoma City's murder rate is also at a 2 and a half decade high and was already increasing even while the national murder average was falling.
April 13, 20223 yr Sure. Let's focus on the cities. If you don't like it there, where "the Democrats" thrive in office, then move rural. It has to be the politicians' fault. But if we ignore a problem, it doesn't exist. That's the American way. LINK Quote Rural America: 'If government's the problem, shoot it.' The grand American tradition of disregard for the law – especially rural lawlessness – still thrives. This antigovernment flouting of the law may seem harmless, but it is corrosive and destructive, dismantling society rivet by rivet. Traditionally, it is cities that have been viewed as centers of crime and lawlessness, but that is somewhat misleading. "One of the least understood topics in the field of criminology and criminal justice is that of rural crime,” wrote Joseph Donnermeyer, a professor of rural sociology at Ohio State University and director of the national rural crime prevention center, in 1995. Rural Americans – and the politicians who patronize them – have promoted the idea that they are the nation’s upholders of righteousness, morality, and virtue. But this agrarian myth conveniently ignores our rustic romance with rural crime, from Bonnie and Clyde and John Dillinger to moon-shiners, the Ku Klux Klan, and marijuana farming. It requires no great power of observation to see that in many pockets of Appalachia and much of rural America, our country cousins have long declared laws unto themselves. Old and established families often claim hereditary rights that they allege supersede state and US law, according to one federal law enforcement officer. It is a national joke that rural speeding violations and DUI citations are for out-of-towners only, not local townspeople. I know of one hamlet in western Massachusetts where, when a new police officer was hired, he was specifically told that townspeople were not to be ticketed. Local immunities A convenience store operator in one New England village reportedly hustles his grocery clerk out the back door when he gets word that a state inspector is on the way to check employment compensation records. President Reagan did America no favors when he preached that "government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” On Virginia’s Eastern Shore, rural support for that sentiment means that some game wardens (who are federal law enforcement officials) feel the need to wear bulletproof vests to work every day. One told me that it was not uncommon in hunting season for him to be peppered with birdshot when he is out in a boat. Rural logic is obvious: "If government’s the problem, shoot it.” US Coast Guard crews, charged with marine safety inspections and smuggling interdiction, privately complain about the antigovernment vibe. "The locals have great distrust and hostility toward us,” one Coast Guard seaman told me. Frequently, recreational boaters try to outrun the Coast Guard to escape prosecution for boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs. That’s "failure to heave to.” And it’s a federal crime. A distressed moral landscape Flouting the law has become a kind of Declaration of Independence in the hinterlands. It is often aided and abetted by state and federal lawmakers intent on watering down existing statutes to cozy up to their "good ol’ boy” constituents. Increasingly, Americans have come to believe the law applies to everyone else, as they claim their private immunities. They rail at Wall Street crimes and illegal immigrants, yet they wink at their own tax evasion and hiring of "day laborers” to help with yardwork. This collective lawlessness may seem mild enough to be harmless, but it is inevitably corrosive and destructive, dismantling a society rivet by rivet.
