Widespread looting in Philadelphia right now

It’s astonishing how easily Rupert Murdoch manipulates right-wingers. This is 100% Murdoch-manufactured “crisis.”

Hm?

Never get an answer for that one just obfuscation and avoidance.

Sure, there are red states that show crime.

In what parts of those states is the crime located? Which cities? And what is the dominant political party in charge of the areas the crime is occurring. Look state by state and you’ll get a better picture. It’s blue cities.

Alaska has the highest homicide rate n the USA. What part of Alaska is run by these mythical soft on crime liberals?

That is counting suicides. It’s depressing as fk up there in the winter and men are much more effective at committing suicide than women. Anyway, strip those out and then compare the actual violent crime stats.

More lies. Homicide /= muder.

“ the highest murder rate in the US is Missouri, with a murder rate of 18 murders per 100,000. The third state with the most murders is South Carolina, at 17.4 homicides per 100,000, while Arkansas comes as the fourth state with the highest murder rate, with a rate of 16.1. The fifth and sixth states with the highest murder rates are Tennessee, at 14, and Alaska, at 12.3”

Those damn liberal nutjobs in South Carolina!!

You can’t explain how liberal policies lead to higher crime when California has a lower murder rate than Missouri and Arkansas.

If it were liberal policy at the root then why would San Fran, Boston, NYC etc have lower rates than cities in red states?

Yeah, you’re right.

St. Louis has the highest murder rate.

Except the residents there vote blue.

Again, it’s majority blue cities and voters with these insane murder rates.

And right now progressive criminal justice policies are making them more dangerous because there are no strict consequences. People get away with what they can. No amount of your infantalizing, consequence lowering, restorative justice stuff will change that. It’s pretty simple.

Criminal Justice System is negotiated at the State not city level. It's your Republican policies at work that bring poverty and crime to your cities vs. major cities in Blue states.

Such a lazy, non-data driven response. Cities implement their own policies as well.

No it’s not lazy. All the framework and major policies such as sentencing, bail etc are negotiated at the state level and set in the state’s penal code. Local policies are more around policing and police funding and supportive services.

Of course Dems will be able to Demsplain this away:

Philthadelphia is a lawless S hole. Dems enable it. These latest mass lootings are just a culmination of the lawless anarchy Dems allow and foster. They'll probably blame systemic racism, lack of opportunities, disenfranchisement, wealth divide, red lining and thousands of other things before personal responsibility.

Bull crap. Localities elect prosecutors who decide how vigorously to prosecute criminals. That is where the problems lie in many cases.

Again, bail is governed by bail laws set by the Republican state legislature in red states. Defendants appear before a judge, usually Republican, in red states to determine bail.

We are not talking bail, honey.
We are talking about actually PROSECUTING the criminals.

I’ll spare everyone: right winger starts from a right wing lie (DeFuNd ThE pOlIcE) and it goes from there. Nothing connects to anything and if the guy was decently bright he’d have figured out how his entire screed about crime is basically about the police not doing their jobs well.

LAPD’s budget is $1.9 billion. That’s 16% of the city’s annual budget. If you count their benefits and pensions, the budget is $3.15 billion and that’s 26.8% of the annual budget. https://www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2023/04/18/karen-bass-increases-lapd-budget-by-63/#:~:text=The%20LAPD%20currently%20operates%20on,26.8%25%20of%20the%20overall%20budget.

The Chicago Police Department’s budget was increased by $64 million to $1.94 billion. https://news.wttw.com/2023/01/02/sparing-residents-tax-hikes-months-election-chicago-s-2023-budget-takes-effect#:~:text=The%20Chicago%20Police%20Department%27s%20budget,a%20total%20of%20%241.94%20billion.

NYPD’s budget for 2024 is $5.44 billion dollars, which is actually a cut of 88.1 million, but I don’t think five and a half billion dollars is really a tight budget. https://council.nyc.gov/budget/wp-content/uploads/sites/54/2023/03/NYPD-1.pdf

At some point maybe we could perhaps entertain revisiting how the police police. For this kind of money you’d think that there be some active police work.

Case in point to support the piece you dismiss....

A teenager accused of intentionally driving a stolen vehicle into a bicyclist in Las Vegas, killing him, told a police officer after his arrest that he expected he would be out of custody in 30 days because he was a juvenile.

“It’s just ah ... hit-and-run,” the teen said after the Aug. 14 crash, according to a police arrest report released Monday. “Slap on the wrist.”

I’m so tired of people who excuse crime. It’s clearly rising. I watch PBS, read Reuters and tons of mainstream news sources. I understand what you mean when you say Murdoch manipulates viewers with fear. This ain’t it. This is dumbfk progressive criminal justice reform in action. This is weak on crime folks who think they’re acting altruistically to reduce incarceration. All they’re doing is causing crime. Their actions embolden looters and violent criminal.
