When he was elected Trump talked about the all the crime and carnage in America's cities (crime was at a 50 year low then though) and said that HE ALONE COULD FIX IT. I Wonder why he didn't fix it?????
We welcome the Feds here in Detroit.
"Right now in Detroit non-fatal shootings are up 51% and homicides up 25%. Although the federal help has only been here a few weeks, both Barr and Craig say they're starting to see changes.
"We started just on July 29, we've already charged 22 people mostly for gun offenses and the Marshalls have caught 81 fugitives and, of course, the police department itself is making a lot of arrests," Barr said."
The Progressives wnat a police state so they're promoting violence and anarchy. When they take over, the police will be given carte blanche to go in an crack down Tiananmen Square style. All the while crying that its conservatives that are causing the violence and racist confrontations.
Mmmm, where I have heard of this happening before...sometime in history it must be...sometime long ago...yeah, I remember, 2020 China takeover of Hong Kong and Taiwan! Yet, we have the a democrat Lebron James and others in the NBA supporting China, unwilling to speak out against them. Silence across the democrat party on this. Wake the heck up America! The communists are here in the form of the new democratic party (not all but many), liberal professors, liberal secondary educators, down to the lowest grade of education, and BIG BUSINESS (not all but many) who would profit from having control of legislatures and cheap labor. For decades now we have seen attacks from the left on gun rights, freedom of speech, taxpayer representation, freedom of religion etc. We are at the tipping point.
You could care less? So you do care then, this thing about knives is just bollox by the way, if you are interested in UK politics make sure you get your facts straight. The reality is murder rates in US cities are far higher than they are in their UK equivalents it's going to take more than just 'controlling' Democratically led cities.
Exactly. I don't know what is going on over there, except for what i can google. I don't know the whole story, just like you don't know exactly what is going on here. We have a violent crime issue in our inner cities. We have thousands of firearms laws already on the books. Criminals don't care about laws. More won't help.
So this is bollox ?
"London's murder numbers now exceed New York's. But the new murders teach old lessons: Drug wars are bad and weapon laws don't stop crime."
Its a wonderful day in the Democrat neighborhood Children! Its all peaceful protesters according to CNN, MSNBC and the others "Go team blue!
This has nothing to do with protestors and everything to do with gang violence. It's twit/troll logic to tie it to a political party. This is a cultural mentality much like Isis. This mentality is passed down from generation to generation. Team red isn't going to solve the problem and team blue isn't going to solve the problem.
The poorest, roughest areas of America's major cities have problems that neither Democrat or Republican can solve. Tough on crime laws will certainly get the criminals off of the streets. It doesn't seem to scare people who have severe anger issues. It doesn't scare people who believe violence is the answer to every problem. There is a problem. It lies with the mentality of those who are committing these murders. It lies with the gang members who kill each other over drug dealing territory. And why do people use drugs? How bad is someone's life that drug use is necessary? And the problem lies with people who have so much anger and hate in them that their mentality is "if you disrespect me or anger me, I will kill you".

Everyone keeps talking about the gangs and drugs causing the violence, and some of it does. The highlighted is where the majority of the issues are. The "beefs" and "dis's" are the issues. Weakness get's one killed in the hood , so if someone is dissed , they have to retort, and the only way is violence. Violence seems to be the only thing understood, the lack of respect for human life, the lack of any sort of empathy. These are the issues. The fact that it is ingrained itself into a culture is appalling. Throwing money at the issue isn't going to help, we've done that. How do you completely rewire generations of this type of behavior ?
On average, 100 people die each day due to gun violence. What's your point? 100,000 are shot every year. That is 275 per day. Seems like a good weekend by all measures.
I was watching " Joker" (a VERY overrated meh film) and it struck me just how it mirrored the progressive Antifa BLM movement when Gotham City was going **** hole. The Joker could be a key note speaker at the dem convention, he's one of them. The violence, the anarchy, the insanity and lawlessness, art imitates life.
Unfortunately trump is not Bat Man, maybe a churlish Commissioner Gordon.
A vote for Biden is a vote for the violence to continue. Democrat run cities are being destroyed. We need more police not less.
Too bad. The residents are getting exactly that for which they voted.
