Trump recently stated that everything woke always turns to shit...and AOC steps in to prove him right yet again. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

California state, federal politicians silent after AOC doubts existence of smash-and-grab robberies Democratic California political leaders have remained silent on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s comment appearing to doubt the existence of smash-and-grab robberies. "We have to talk about specifics because, for example, we’re actually seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out," Ocasio-Cortez told The Washington Times in an interview last week. "I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up." Fox News reached out to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press team, Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s communication’s director, Sen. Alex Padilla’s press secretary, as well as Mayor London Breed’s and Mayor Eric Garcetti’s respective press teams. Fox News did not receive any response on whether the elected officials agreed with Ocasio-Cortez’s comment. DOZENS OF SAN FRANCISCO AREA STORES, PHARMACIES HIT BY MOBS OF SMASH-AND-GRAB LOOTERS: 'HURTS US ALL' Republican politicians and business leaders, however, have been vocal in their condemnation of the New York Democrat’s remarks in light of the repeated smash-and-grab crimes that are rocking California. LOS ANGELES D.A. GASCON SILENT ON CRIME WAVE, PROSECUTOR SAYS "I don’t know what data she is talking about," said Rep. Rodney Davis, an Illinois Republican, told the Washington Times. "Respectfully, the Congresswoman has no idea what she is talking about. Both the data and stack of video evidence makes fairly clear that this is a growing problem in need of solutions," Jason Brewer, Retail Industry Leaders Association senior executive vice president of communications, told the outlet. "If she is not concerned with organized theft and increasingly violent attacks on retail employees, she should just say that." GOP, BUSINESSES SLAM AOC FOR DOUBTING EXISTENCE OF SMASH-AND-GRAB ROBBERIES: 'TONE-DEAF AND OFFENSIVE' Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks said Ocasio-Cortez’s comments were "tone-deaf and offensive" to the family of Oakland security guard Kevin Nishita. The former San Jose police officer was shot and killed in November while defending a news crew reporting on a smash-and-grab crime. LINK; https://news.yahoo.com/califor...ilent-124726245.html | |||

Wasn't there a movie some years ago that Manhattan was surrounded by a wall and it was a maximum security prison. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Escape from New York from 1981, directed by John Carpenter, and starring Kurt Russell as Snake Plisskin and the incomparable Ernest Borgnine as the cab driver who helps Snake navigate the war zone. Adrienne Barbeau's breasts are also featured. Even 40 years ago it was evident what NYC was becoming. | |||

I had the same thought. Wall off the City and don't let anyone in or out. They will starve in two weeks.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

My understanding is Rikers Island is in disrepair due successive city councils either willfully ignoring requests to make capitol investments or, in a sick way, want to have it close so there's less jails ergo, lower prisoner populations. Clearly AOC is of the mind is of the later as she has no intention to either improve the facility or, spread the prison population to the proposed idea of having a detention/jail center in each of the boroughs.

When I read about woke DA's, de-carceration, defunding the police, etc., I suspect most of the primary adherents are pro-crime. That is, they are playing to an audience that is largely made up of people who are criminals or think criminal activity is okay. They do this because they want votes, money, affirmation, etc., from those folks. They may not want to destroy society, per se, but they don't care if they damage society or hurt a lot of innocent people along the way in the pursuit of personal gain. It is possible or even likely that some of the people who support de-carceration, low bail for serious crime, defunding the police, light sentences for serious crime, no prosecutions for career criminals, etc. --- people like AOC or George Soros --- are doing it because they are sociopaths, interested only in destroying American society. Rikers Island sucks. NYC should clean it up, turn it into as decent a place as a jail or prison can be. Prisoners should be rehabilitated and given a shot at reform - that's still possible, right? Trials should be conducted quickly -- too often, "the process is the punishment" as people await hearing after hearing before an actual trial (whether they are in jail or out on bail). The whole idea of high bail is to make it 1) remunerate the state for its trouble if the person jumps bail; 2) make it impossible for the bail jumper to find a bail bondsman to spot them a high amount for bail the second time if they jumped bail the first time. Sounds reasonable enough. | |||
