+DieChecker Posted May 24 #1726 Share Posted May 24 https://www.foxnews.com/media/voters-seeking-law-order-cheer-ousting-progressive-oregon-district-attorney Quote People living and working in Portland, Oregon, told Fox News Digital they hope the ousting of their progressive district attorney will end what they view as a permissive attitude toward crime. Current DA, elected during the BLM days, said stealing wasnt a crime. Rioting wasn't a crime. Using drugs wasnt a crime. Shoplifting wasnt a crime. Well he lost by a landslide thus time. People of Portland seem to be wising up after their neighborhoods turned into homeless camps, street racing tracks, and open air drug markets, along with the stores closing down due to not procescuting thieves. Plus, you know, murders doubled... New guy campaigned on... - prosecuting criminals - Working with police - Taking all arrests seriously. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted June 5 Author #1738 Share Posted June 5 A Chicago Democrat thinks not reporting crimes will help the crime rate look better. A Chicago Democrat is facing criticism after saying she will no longer share crime alerts because it creates a negative "perception" of marginalized communities. Local Alderman Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth announced Wednesday that she would no longer relay crime alerts via her social media or constituent email list because of her belief that the "over-reporting of crime leads to an inaccurate public perception about crime rates." "Research also shows us that over-reporting of crime negatively impacts our most marginalized and underserved neighbors," she said. Her comments come after a bloody Memorial Day weekend that left 41 people shot, killing nine, including a 5-year-old girl. Another person was fatally stabbed. During an appearance on "America's Newsroom," Violence Interrupters Executive Director Tio Hardiman said Manaa-Hoppenworth's comments are not necessarily accurate and that Chicago is a "rough place." He suggested that some people may not want crime information to get out to the public at large, but that the public needs to be aware of "skyrocketing" carjackings and armed robberies. "People need to know to watch their surroundings because you can have somebody robbing people," Hardiman said. "There might be a rash of armed robberies taking place in a certain area, so people need to know. So, I pretty much disagree with that notion not to alert people because it's going on in Chicago." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I have a great deal of sympathy with the US and also European countries. The UK is the only country in the world to cut ties with its own continent (Europe) to deepen ties with Asia, African and India. And change their legal immigration system so that there is unlimited immigration from these countries rather than Europe. And then have the cheek to complain that they don't like what they have done and canvas support for the very Party that did all this! Crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studies have shown that if you dont report, or prosecute, crimes, then the crime rates will magically go down. At least till whomever is in charge becomes the victim of said crimes, or till all major businesses are leaving town. Quote A Chicago Democrat is facing criticism after saying she will no longer share crime alerts because it creates a negative "perception" of marginalized communities. Are maginalized communities maginalized because of racism, or bias, or whatever, or... Because everyone know crime is more common there. Is the negative perception earned, or unjustified? To determine if the perception is earned, or unjustified, simply prove it by driving through and looking at the shops. If they have bars, its justified. If there are few, or no bars, on windows, and doors, than its unjustified. My little town on the end of the metro area has bars only on the pot shops. Because theyre easy targets for big cash robberies. Quote Local Alderman Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth announced Wednesday that she would no longer relay crime alerts via her social media or constituent email list because of her belief that the "over-reporting of crime leads to an inaccurate public perception about crime rates." Inaccurate, or unfortunate? I can only speak for myself, but Ive lived in apartments that had just brick walls, with just a floor heater, that was $100 a month, and in my car for a while, in a barracks in the Army, and in a succession of homes I bought and kept taking a step up each time. Ive lived povery, and homelessness for a short while. My opinion is, that the poor, and especially the criminal poor, think everyone thinks like them. "Youd rob a store if you could, you just dont need to.". But, the truth is almost everyone is very honest, and law abiding. Its this small fraction of the poor who create most of the trouble around every town. They think they see entitlement, and so will demand entitlement. Demand cops let them go, or that cops cant stop/search them. They see racism everywhere, and play the victim. Its never their fault. This lady isnt helping. Shes enabling these criminals, and thus propagating crime in her district. Shes pandering to the criminals. Quote "Research also shows us that over-reporting of crime negatively impacts our most marginalized and underserved neighbors," she said. Yeah, because when a big portion of the neighborhood's income is from crime, than criminals getting caught makes the neighborhood poorer. It not rocket science.

He remained behind bars on Tuesday while the district attorney considered whether to file charges. Quote Authorities said two men and a woman pulled up to a residence in the area in a stolen Infiniti Q40. A witness told police the three went onto the property and one of the men had a crowbar. The witness then heard a gunshot. Quote Police said the third suspect was found at the scene with a replica gun and arrested on suspicion of burglary. Boom! Looks like they had to bust through that fence. Than were confronted by homeowner. Bad guys had a crowbar and gun (fake)... Justified. Theres no ID on any of them yet. Probably for the better if the homeowner was white and the burglers were black, or hispanic. Victimhood allows creeps to get away with being stupid, and being white means being an oppressor. If we dont know the various ethnicities, the court of public opinion can stay blind. Edited June 13 by DieChecker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing the owner who shot the burglar who had the fake gun needs a permit to own the gun he used, and attitudes about racism is different there. And if you live in the south U.S. it is different than the rest of the country. In Oregon, and the west coast are totally different than the rest of the country. Extremes are found on both spectrums in each part of the country, except maybe the 4 states that make up what used to be the New Mexico territory, I have found only small pockets of extremes and either end of the stick is made fun of if it is even noticed.

Huh? Oakland is in California. In California there are still self defense laws. The article says so. If some idiot pulls a replica gun, he better hope the other guy doesn't have a real gun. Believe me, racism, of all kinds, still very much exists in the poorer areas of sunny, enlightened, California. I was born there, but mostly raised in Oregon. The "oppressors" and the "victims", are about equally racist, in my opinion. Feeling like a victim shouldnt allow to treat others bad to try to make victim feel better. Only you can make you feel better. Edited June 13 by DieChecker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, racism is everywhere and not just in the "poor" areas of the country, but it is different in every section of the country, sometimes even in different cities in the same state. Victimhood is encouraged to keep people off balance and easily manipulated. The worst "victims" are the ones who have an easy life and nothing useful to keep them busy, in my opinion. They have no resilience and no perspective. Edited June 14 by Desertrat56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhh.... So they had to punish him. Give that old man good reason to respect the Law. Imagine not giving a statement... that will learn hom good! (SARCASM) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13531637/amp/PICTURED-Oakland-grandfather-77-probed-murder-shooting-dead-burglar-broke-familys-home.html Looks like a mostly white guy. Maybe white (Hispanic) given his last name. No pics on the actual robbers though. Apparently the old mans pistol was stolen. So probably the police wrote that one off.
