To include theft of "necessary" items of less than $750 among others. Dallas is a mess.

Wouldn't this DA be considered an accessory to a crime, then? Roll Eyes

Dallas is a shithole.

At least Texas gun laws & personal/property defense laws are fairly lenient towards a legal shooter, so maybe some of the criminals will eat some lead.

It's not just Dallas County. It's the trend in all big cities.
They don't want to prosecute certain "low-level crimes" like shop lifting. Then, when all of the stores close because they've been robbed blind, they complain about living in a "food desert".

Then they wonder why anyone with a job wants to move out and all that they have left is welfare, unemployment, drugs, homelessness and even bigger crime.

"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

An admission that there is no political will to stop it. Businesses will have a response, one of which could mean self defense.
There goes those damn unintended consequences again. Predictable, but unintended. And at least that's not "low level".

Wait What.....If I was hire as a Engineer, and now I can tell my Boss that I don't want to work on any small project that he giving me. Who died and making this John Creuzot "King", and he can decided when to follow the law or not follow the law. John Creuzot is a criminal himself in my book.

P.S.
Tell John Creuzot I have a few Sig that cost less than $750, and he can try to take one from me to test his theory.

It's worked out really well *everywhere* it's been tried.

They're screwed.

Vote for us, and we won't prosecute your brother/sister/cousin/nephew/etc who is really just a misunderstood choir boy who was just turning his life around.

The criminal underclass *is* a major constituency of a certain political party, and that party is perfectly willing as patron to wreck civil order to buy off their clients.

It's a double win, because once everything goes to hell... The Party of Free Shit can move in and give away lots of free shit in exchange for more votes.

Hint: Same party.

Maybe they need a refresher course in Rudy Giuliani's "Broken Windows" approach to crime reduction in NYC while mayor.

It bewilders me to hear people complain about the high incarceration rate while benefiting from the lower crime rate in recent decades. They happened in parallel but the do gooders don't seem to understand the relationship to locking up criminals and crime reduction.

To be honest, this DA did run stating this was what he was going to do. Of course the incumbent, a Republican, wasn’t much better.
