Yes, Gascón, Boudin et al are terrible... but the voters of their respective cities chose them. Krasner easily defeated the effort to recall him in Philadelphia.
I don't think there's much mystery as to why violent crime is skyrocketing in these cities. The interesting question (to me) is why do their voters continue to choose this?
I went from being an advocate of gun control in my 20’s to getting a concealed carry permit and owning them and I am not yet 40. (yes, locked in a biometric safe my kids can’t access and stored in a vault which is not in our home when we travel).
Two reasons:
1 - If we are going to defund the police and enable violent criminals, I am going to defend myself and my family. I have no ethical, moral, or legal responsibility to become a hapless victim simply because the woke are giddy about destroying other people’s lives.
2 - Authoritarianism grows most rapidly where the population is unarmed. We’ve tried all kinds of authoritarianism as humans, and it’s far more lethal than the tragic gun violence that accompanies an armed citizenry. In places where the right to bear arms is exercised by law abiding citizens at higher percentages of the population, there is actually less random gun violence - there is better gun safety education within the community and a much bigger deterrent for would be criminals.
I think this is hilarious! All of us who are moderates and conservatives told the libtards this was going to happen. Whats sad is you notice that the rich communities started hiring their own security firms AFTER they were part of the defund police movement and were voting to take away our guns. ,and after they pushed for DA's that are lite on crime and dont set bail . See they dont even think about regular people and neighborhoods that have also been affected worse than their neighborhoods except the regular people cannot afford private security! So they/ we are left to suffer the consequences of their short sided, stupid decisions like defund the police! Also, if you just do your research you will see that most violent crimes and shootings happen in cities and counties that are anti-gun and have banned law abiding citizens from carrying or made it stupidly difficult to acquire a carry permit. This is because BAD GUYS DONT TURN IN THEIR GUNS AND OBTAIN THEM THROUGH ILLEGAL MEANS! All you dumb butts have done is disarm the law abiding people which ironically are the ones who would also defend you and your home. Wake up libtards. Your policies dont work and you have successfully disarmed yourselves and are now at the mercy of criminals. CONGRATULATIONS!!! You shall reap what you sow!
Buy a gun, keep it locked & loaded. Keep it on you at all times. California is a dystopian hell hole that the people there allowed, nay created by voting for liberal idiots. You reap what you sow. The smart ones have left the state.
Ha, ha, democrats are such hypocrites. But to hell with you. The entire country has been destroyed because of your unAmerican evil ways. Go take your RNA booster injections and die.
You have to laugh about the Beverly Hills busybody Markowitz getting rid of the police chief because they were "mean"... only to have to turn around and organize a neighborhood watch group because violent crime has gotten so bad in her neighborhood. Karma.
This article warms my heart. Just what I needed on a cold December morning. The prospect of liberals learning from experience gives me hope for the future.
This anti-gun mom should stick by her principles. In her mind guns kill people. She should not be allowed to have such a dangerous weapon in her possession. She voted for the problems she is now experiencing. Maybe just maybe, she should live with the consequences of her decisions and her votes.
That's too bad. We need these globalist-elites to get a taste of their own medicine. They unleashed black thuggery on basis of BLM lies and destroyed so many communities, but now, they are arming themselves and ramping up POLICE power. What is this? Defund the police for the hoi polloi but fund the police to defend the rich?
No, let's keep on with the 'progressive' policies and ship all the black thugs to these fancy areas.

Oh, the tangled webs Progressives weave...
Cue the world's smallest violin

These people made this wine. Let them drink fully their desire. No sympathy for any of them from me. At all

Voting won't end the criminal surge. Only by catching these vermin and putting them against a wall will.

A conservative is a liberal who has bee mugged. Beverly Hills is getting mugged.

Zero fucks given for these people. They’ve helped to create the nightmare they live in. Suck it up, progtards.

Is schadenfreude unkind in this instance?
Elections have consequences - Wake up!
