At least he managed to hit two of his fellow assholes. And the Judge needs to get off the bench.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) blamed the media for perpetuating violence during the “Summer of Peace” event on Monday and lauded “personal responsibility” as one of the keys to lowering violent crime.

During the event, a member of the media asked: “Do you think your administration can have a summer of peace given what we’ve seen this year?” an ABC News affiliate reported.

Scott “fired back,” defensively answering the question and accusing the community at large of “spreading this hate.”

“I think that’s a ridiculous question. I think that your station, in particular, has to understand this is not hashtag. We are going to work every day to make sure that does not happen wherever we can prevent it,” he said. “We ultimately have to understand personal responsibility. Where’s the personal responsibility? When are we also going to call on people to check on what’s going on with their young people, to make sure they know what their young people are into?”

The Baltimore Police were investigating 137 murders as of Monday, less than halfway into 2022, according to the station, which cited a Forbes report showing that Baltimore was the fifth most dangerous city in the country. Baltimore had 337 murders in 2021, which was the seventh consecutive year the city had more than 300 homicides. Analysts have predicted that 2022 could prove to be the deadliest in Baltimore’s history.

“After studying a decade of crime patterns, Sean Kennedy, with the Maryland Public Policy Institute, says the city is on-track to see more than 375 homicides this year,” a Fox Baltimore report said in April. “That would be the most homicides that Baltimore has seen since 1993 when the death toll hit 353.”


This April, Scott announced the city would be hiring civilians as investigators for its detective force as it faces staffing shortages and rising violent crime.

Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said the hiring of civilian investigators is “directly tied” to the department’s struggle to hire and retain officers and noted that the agency had a shortage of 350 positions

In 2014 Baltimore had 214 homicides.

"seventh consecutive year" 2015 Freddie Gray. Marilyn Mosby attacked the police. Now for the last 7 years Baltimore is over 300 homicides each year. But the mayor thinks "personal responsibility" is the answer

Funny, Chicago’s “Summer of Joy” ain’t doing too good either!

I wonder why?
I can’t seem to put my finger on the common denominator.

No, it would be the most ever seen. 375 is greater than 353. Stupid reporters who write this stuff.

This is all by design. My belief is that they hope that good folk will get tired of the shenanigans and take matters into their own hands. Then the gun grabbing will shift into high gear when so many “poor disadvantaged children are gunned down by rabid anti-social, anti-government actors”… otherwise known as law abiding gun owners with spotless criminal records. THAT is who the government really fears.

There was no attempted overthrow, the socialists got away with it. Their experiment has failed miserably. We’re not ready for any kind of socialism, the government hasn’t bought that many votes yet.

We’ve just got to stay on their ass and hassle the left as they so gleefully hassle us.

The most difficult part will be getting politicians to keep their word.

Seattle Police So Defunded They Can't Even Investigate New Rape Cases

https://www.frontpagemag.com/p...n-daniel-greenfield/

Actions have consequences. Stupid actions have stupid consequences. And pro-crime policies always work.

Police defunding was billed as making Seattle safer because no longer would mean cops shoot drug dealers for no reason except that they were shooting at them.

The Seattle City Council’s headlong dash to defund police is irresponsible, destabilizing — and ongoing. A Sept. 13 council vote to further chisel away at the police budget perpetuates a malignant trend that is making Seattle a more dangerous place to live and work.

A year after council budget-cutting and tinkering with department structure led to Chief Carmen Best’s departure, almost 300 officers and detectives have followed her out the door. Seven of the council’s nine members pledged in July 2020 to take away at least half the department’s funding and reimagine public safety around fewer police interventions.

That was last year. How are things now?

Rather than police, Solidarity Budget advocates are calling on councilmembers to invest in programs and services aimed at improving equity by building stronger communities. Defunding SPD, speakers said, is part of the coalition’s broader push to prioritize the environment, housing, education, transportation, childcare and nutrition, Indigenous sovereignty, and criminal justice reform.

Rape victims assaulted by the growing number of unimprisoned criminals roaming the streets thanks to criminal justice reform.. are out of luck.

https://www.seattletimes.com/s...internal-memo-shows/

Seattle police’s sexual assault and child abuse unit staff has been so depleted that it stopped assigning to detectives this year new cases with adult victims, according to an internal memo sent to interim police Chief Adrian Diaz in April.

The unit’s sergeant put her staffing crisis in stark terms.

“The community expects our agency to respond to reports of sexual violence,” Sgt. Pamela St. John wrote, “and at current staffing levels that objective is unattainable.”

In the memo, St. John went on to say that she was not “able to assign adult sexual assault cases” that came into her unit. Cases involving children and adult cases that had a suspect in custody — a fraction of adult sexual assaults reported to police — were being prioritized. The unit just had too few detectives.

Increasingly, victims of sexual assault who report their cases to Seattle police aren’t hearing anything back, said Mary Ellen Stone, CEO of the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center.

On Tuesday, a man reported to police that he had been raped at knifepoint.

His report was added to the list of stalled cases.

Vigilantism-- at least in America, in the 19th and 20th centuries-- almost always grew from an environment where "formal" justice systems were either absent or powerless. Otherwise law-abiding citizens simply got tired of being victimized.

Just sayin'.

I didn’t see anything officer.

Washington to pay Seattle alleged criminal $250 each day he doesn’t get mental health treatment

Taxpayers in Washington state will have to pay $250 to a homeless man accused of pushing a 62-year-old woman down the stairs of a light rail station in Seattle for each day he doesn’t get mental health treatment, according to local reports.

Alexander Jay, 40, was arrested on March 3, a day after the attack at the Chinatown-International District light rail station at 5th Avenue South and South Jackson Street, Fox News Digital previously reported.

Jay was also accused of stabbing a woman 10 times at a bus stop that same day, FOX13 Seattle reported.

He went on trial in April, but a judge deemed him incompetent and ordered him to spend three months at an inpatient facility, according to the report.

After more than 100 days without being admitted, King County Superior Court Judge Johanna Bender found the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) in contempt of court for failing to get Jay treatment, KING5-TV reported.

Bender also ordered the state to pay $250 per day, which began accruing on May 9, until Jay gets admitted for treatment, the reports said.

Jay is currently being held in jail, a violation of his due process rights, due to the severity of the charges.

DSHS told FOX13 that the earliest Jay may get into treatment was mid-August – which could result in taxpayers paying more than $17,000 to Jay.

Jay has nearly two dozen prior convictions in Washington dating back to 2000, according to prosecutors.

There is no justice.

More insane every day!

Eh, you never know - he's now got a $90,000 a year income and no accountant, and Uncah Ho and the Congressional Dems have been pushing as much funding as they can to the IRS.

San Diego grand jury indicts 11 Antifa supporters with 29 felonies

The original incident that prompted this happened in January 2021. The Times of San Diego reported a group of Trump supporters were confronted by counter-protesters and the situation turned ugly.

About 100 Trump supporters and 100 counter-protesters clashed at the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Hornblend Street until a growing size of police officers on foot and on bikes arrived to separate them.

After incidents of violence were directed at officers, the police department declared the demonstration an unlawful assembly, about 2:30 p.m.

This is apparently the first time prosecutors have gone after an antifa group with conspiracy charges:

A San Diego grand jury has indicted 11 alleged members of an anti-fascist group in connection with several assaults that occurred in January 2021 during a Pacific Beach “Patriot March” organized by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

The indictment does not appear to add any charges beyond what the defendants faced when they were initially charged in December in San Diego Superior Court. But those initial charges were dropped Tuesday in favor of the indictment, which the county District Attorney’s Office said was handed down after the grand jury heard 13 days of testimony last month.

The defendants were indicted on 29 felony counts, including conspiracy to commit the crime of riot. Experts who study domestic extremism believe the case to be the first time nationwide that prosecutors have used a conspiracy charge specifically to prosecute alleged anti-fascists, or “antifa supporters,” as prosecutors described them.

The indictment alleges that the defendants “are all affiliated with Antifa” and used “force, fear, and violence to further their interests and suppress the interests of others.” It continues, “The objective of this conspiracy was to incite and participate in a riot.”

Though video footage that proliferated on social media around the time of the riot captured violence also committed by members of the pro-Trump crowd, the D.A.’s Office said in a statement issued last year that “video evidence analysis shows that overwhelmingly the violence in this incident was perpetrated by the Antifa affiliates and was not a mutual fray with both sides crossing out of lawful First Amendment expression into riot and violence.”

Well, now, that's interesting. They just busted a bunch of guys who are from that same group that broke the internutz a while back with their matching baby blue tops, pressed khaki slacks and plexiglas riot shields. Those guys were charged with "conspiracy to commit riot" too, and every lawyer in the media said that they'd never heard of that charge being made before.

It almost sounds as if the DOJ made a conscious decision to take the charge out and give it a couple of trial runs, just to see how it'd do.

We had a little pre-emptive here over the weekend.
Same charge-conspiracy to riot.

https://cdapress.com/news/2022...erail-rioters-plans/

In CA, here's the definition of the crime (Penal Code violation) of Conspiracy. As a LEO I charged many suspects with the violation when the crimes planned were completed or attempted acts of violence or even theft related (such as vehicle theft). Usually, these charges were filed against members of criminal street gangs that committed "overt acts", not necessarily amounting to an "attempt" or completion of the intended crime. Example: Four guys conspire to commit an act of vehicle theft. They get into a car driven by Suspect "A" and are driven to the area where they intend to commit the crime, 20 miles away. Suspect "B" brings his flashlight, Suspect "C" brings his slim jim (to facilitate entry into a locked vehicle), Suspect "D" brings a slide or screwdriver (to facilitate defeating the ignition lock so as to start the vehicle). The four suspects are stopped for a traffic violation(s) by uniformed cops, separated when the officers see some of the evidence of the vehicle theft activity and one or more of the suspects admits their plans.


182. (a) If two or more persons conspire:

(1) To commit any crime.

(2) Falsely and maliciously to indict another for any crime, or to procure another to be charged or arrested for any crime.

(3) Falsely to move or maintain any suit, action, or proceeding.

(4) To cheat and defraud any person of any property, by any means which are in themselves criminal, or to obtain money or property by false pretenses or by false promises with fraudulent intent not to perform those promises.

(5) To commit any act injurious to the public health, to public morals, or to pervert or obstruct justice, or the due administration of the laws.

(6) To commit any crime against the person of the President or Vice President of the United States, the Governor of any state or territory, any United States justice or judge, or the secretary of any of the executive departments of the United States.
