Bill Maher was shocked to the roots of his being. He was musing with Ann Coulter about the identities of the Kansas City shooters. You recall, the ones who shot up the celebration marking the Chiefs Super Bowl victory.
Authorities have not identified the shooters, but Coulter remarked that if they were white males, we would know all about it by now.
Maher then tried to shut down the discussion by repeating that we do not know.
Of course, it’s the latest way to reduce the African-American crime rate. Progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has found another way-- that is, he reduces felonies to misdemeanors. Don’t call it a serious crime and it is not a serious crime.
The Daily Mail has the story:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded a staggering 60 percent of felony cases to lesser charges in the last year, data from his office shows.
The progressive DA reduced 938 of the most serious charged in 2023, 834 of which were brought down to misdemeanors.
Under Bragg, the percentage of felonies downgraded has increased to 60 - up from 53% percent under his predecessor.
Statistically, this makes it appear that the crime rate is diminishing, while it is merely about skewed statistics.
Naturally, the black crime rate is a major embarrassment. It is an embarrassment for the black community and it is an embarrassment for America.
Might it have something to do with the fact that when someone black commits a crime, we are obliged not to consider it a crime? Have you noticed, by the by, that no leaders in the black community are mounting campaigns against crime. That is, no black community leaders are militating against crime, against gangs and against violence. Apparently, they believe that it’s all the fault of white people.
Now, a civil rights activist, by the name of Ben Crump, has the solution. Decriminalize crime. Now, why did you not think of that?
In truth, certain law enforcement officers have long since thought of that. The progressive district attorneys in cities like Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland have long since given up on prosecuting crime, especially crime committed by people of a certain race.
Crump suggested that white people had constructed a system of laws that were designed to criminalize the behavior of blacks.
Now, one Bob Allen, on Twitter, explains it all:
Actually he's pretty close to right. Black African and Tribal cultures allow a lot of killing, and taking of property. The concept of Private Property is really from European culture. But, if they want to live like that they should go to Africa. We don't want it here.
So, private property was invented by white people to steal from non-white people. When people of color rip off convenience stores they are simply taking back what is rightfully theirs. The message seems clear enough. It is made manifest in behavior.
For now we are suffering from a cognitive dissonance. We walk through our neighborhoods and see the shut-down storefronts. We see the drug stores locking down their wares. And, we keep saying to ourselves that this is white supremacy in action. Because we certainly do not want to hold the legions of smash and grab robbers accountable. That would expose us as bigots.
In a world where whites have enslaved blacks, all people of color have a right to take what they want. And, if you are not a person of color, you should shut up.
I often work in a predominantly Black area of Boston and have had many conversations with residents over the last 20 years. Two things that I have observed. One, the great majority of the crime and other social ills in the neighborhoods are caused by 12-30 year old males. They literally own the streets and the other residents are terrified of them. The second is that the residents I have spoken to, law abiding tenants mostly in subsidized housing are far bigger proponents of law and order than one would be led to believe. These people, the ones on the front line of anarchy, would love to see their neighborhoods cleaned up. And in private conversation, they have ideas for cleaning it up that would make a Klansman blush. They are sick and tired of being terrified to walk to the store or even sit on their front stoop at night.
Unfortunately, their voices are totally muted by the so-called neighborhood leaders and community organizers who know which side their bread is buttered on. So long as the community remains a drug-ravaged, crime-ridden ghetto, the federal. state, city and private dollars will flow in through grants and improvement programs all of which will be administered at high salaries by these grifters.
All opposition or even questioning is silenced and the doubter publicly shamed. Speak up at a community meeting and your government dependent life will suddenly become very complicated. Your benefits will suddenly come into question and your eligibility for your free housing may be terminated.
These race hustlers parade through the community like old-time South Boston Irish politicians glad-handing, giving away other people's money and riding on empty promises. At least the old time Irish chest-puffers handed out jobs.
