[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not vote for Allen on the last election. I wrote in Big Bird. The factor motivating my voting in the previous and current electoral cycle is crime.

I don't really care that Allen has decent constituent services. And I am fully aware that he is not the sole person responsible for worsening crime; there are others who also bear responsibility and should not be leading our city, starting with Nadeau and Scwhalb. But Allen's legislation and tone have been instrumental in helping crime flourish in this city.

An anecdote best illustrates the problem with Allen. The day after after the shooting at the Point and Rep. Cuellar's carjacking, I called his office to find out if the previous evening's events had changed the councilmember's soft-on-crime approach. His rep told me that, "We need to strike a balance because incarceration causes irreversible harm."

What his rep never bothered to acknowledge is that being victim of crime causes irreparable harm.[/quote]

The voice of a man who does not care how many women are raped or people or murdered if it conflicts with his ideological priors.[/quote]
