[quote=Anonymous]Crime has increased over 30% since the pandemic has started. Carjackings are up. Way up. Why the push for “slap on the wrist”, or no punishment for teen offenders? Why aren’t we being real about this? It will take the city back to 1988 when murders were on par with failing nations?

Why the Youth Rehabilitation Act? Why the legislation to release violent offenders early? I hate Trump. I hated Barr. However, I can’t help but fear they were right to propose get tough on crime policy. Even the Atlantic notes that tough policing worked. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/03/is-americas-great-crime-decline-over/618381/

None of this matters. Apparently it’s racist to propose actual policing of violent areas. What is being excessively woke leads to non-crime committing, tax paying, citizens leaving the city and helping to hollow out the tax base again? More importantly, why can’t we have a real discussion about this? It impacts you and me. Do you like fearing for your life, your property and your kids? Sorry.[/quote]
