“(zh) boston’s 39-year-old mayor, Michelle Wu, wants to follow in the footsteps of San Francisco, philadelphia, Seattle, denver, new york, and other liberal strongholds – where property crimes, including grand larceny and motor vehicle theft, have seen a sharp increase in recent years.
“boston’s progressive mayor, Michelle Wu, wants to decriminalize certain offenses.
“as the daily mail reports, Wu wants to make crimes including shoplifting and disorderly conduct off-limits to prosecution. she also wants to include certain categories of breaking and entering, wanton and malicious property destruction, larceny under $250, and trespassing as non-prosecutable crimes. she did toss in drug possession – which is fine, as long as crimes like disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace are enforced.
“those who commit such wanton crimes would receive little more than a slap on the wrist.
[Not even that. They already receive no more than a slap on the wrist. If Wu has her way, they will receive nothing. Writers have been abusing the phrase “a slap on the wrist” for too many years to count.]
“the offenses are all on a ‘do-not-prosecute’ list that was created by [racially ambiguous] former suffolk county district attorney Rachael Rollins.
“Rollins, who later joined the Biden administration but resigned amid ethical violations, had advocated for the non-prosecution of more ‘low-level’ offenses.
“during her 2021 campaign, Wu was asked by left-wing nonprofit progressive massachusetts whether she supports Rollins’ list, to which she responded, ‘yes. “when asked if she supported closing the boston police gang database, she also said yes.”
GRA: I’m not sure who the other candidate was, but Boston will “Wu” the day they elected this commie. Why they would, I can’t hypothesize—unless the other choice was a blm-er.

portland shut down gang enforcement years ago and required the department to erase all gang affiliation data. Resulted in predictable sharp increase in gang violence and murders.
Woke politicos behind the policy wrung their hands and struck poses of mock wonderment as to why the increase happened. Liberal SF politicians will do the same.

ReplyDeleteSo if somebody breaks and enters your home, or enters your property it's not "prosecutable"? Regardless of their intent? Let me guess, if you defend yourself in your home on your property, if you get into an altercation and do any harm to the poor misguided burglar you WILL have committed a prosecutable crime.
Sounds about right--and if you're White,DON'T lock the doors to your house--that's another crime(I'm assuming).

ReplyDeleteCertain demographics walk around all day looking for homes to illegally enter. Say they are looking for some dude that owes them some money. "I guess I am in the wrong house" says D'Andrey.
My name is Mohammad and I am a black man and I want to tell you that blacks in American only commit crimes like stealing because their family is starving to death. Like in the book written by the French white dude.

ReplyDelete"MY name is Mohammed and I am a black man and I want to tell you that blacks in American(sic)only commit crimes like stealing because it beats working."
Mohammed #3:
"MY name is Mohammed and I am a black man and I want to tell you that blacks in American(sic)only commit crimes like stealing because it's SO MUCH DAMN FUN stealing from Whitey."
"Yes,this is 'To Tell the Truth' and you have now met all three "Mohammeds".It is up to our panel to find out which Mohammed is telling the truth.
Cut to the chase:It isn't Mohammed #1.
