Joey’s thugocracy has made it easier to be a criminal than a responsible citizen. Gangs of criminal anti-America thugs like blm and antifarts provide a nourishing environment for people to become criminals as they are protected by the dems at all levels. It’s much easier for the mobs to gain confidence in breaking the laws as a group.

Face it, the Democraps and mostly the cover they get from the mainstream media on on anything are to blame for all that is happening in this country. From not truthfully informing the people of the mental health of Biden to how really stupid Kommie Harris is to some in the MSM comparing the so called riot at the capital being worse than 9/11. Until the mainstream media comes clean about “everything “ they report crime, the real truth about COVID, election results, etc will continue to spiral out of control.

I personally believe it’s 1) evil is running rampant, 2) no fear of any consequences because the courts are filled with judges who believe that punishment behind bars doesn’t work. 3) areas of refund the police mentality are the worst areas of crime.

The top three reasons:
Defunding Police
Ending cash bail
Progressive Prosecutors not doing their jobs. They don’t show up for murder trials, and killers are released to commit more crime.
This is part of the Left’s broader goal to increase their power: to cause chaos, instill fear and make people more dependent on government. This is straight out of Lenin’s playbook.

This crime surge in America is a multifaceted problem. The largest facet being DEMOCRATS. Democrats have been staunch supporters of the DEFUND THE POLICE campaign, BLM and ANTIFA riots, decriminalizing so called minor crimes, crimes non the less and the promoting of criminal activity and criminalizing the law abiding citizens.
With the DEFUND THE POLICE campaign came a mass exodus of good cops out of the force. This resulted in the lowering of standards to fill vacancies and the cops who stay are less than desirable. Kinda like the Fox guarding the hen house.
All the riots over the last year or so have been mainly left to settle themselves without much law enforcement interference. This is partially based on the fact that in these Democratic run cities, they have stopped prosecuting certain so called minor crimes, crimes nonetheless. Like in Baltimore you can sell drugs freely without worry of the cops busting you. You can shoplift if you are lifting less than a specified dollar amount. You can publicly urinate and dedicate on the streets and prostitutes have nothing to fear anymore.
Another big facet is the fact that prison has become a new social class in America. Prison should be a place that people fear and never want to return to again. There is also the lack of severe punishment for those who abuse their god given rights. We need to reinstitute the DEATH PENALTY for murder, rape and child predators and sexual abusers. Prison should no longer be a resort but more an institution of punishment again.
the DEMOCRATS have gone so far in the wrong direction that they have basically changed crime into the norm and those who exercise their god given rights are now the new criminals.
We need to get back to educating our children in school as to what is right and what is wrong. Respecting of others, the world owes you nothing, you must go out and work for it, your success is limitless.
We must also allow our law abiding citizens full and unfettered access to their constitutional rights for an armed society is a polite society. A mans home is his castle and he shall be able to protect it and his family against those who abuse their rights and established laws of society.
There is only one clear cut answer to our woes, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon

What we see with the increase of crime isn’t just random, but rather it’s a different form of organized crime. It’s the combination of BLM and antifa, primarily in Democrat controlled communities where law enforcement’s hands are tied, and they aren’t permitted to do their job. It is the reluctance of government to declare these groups as domestic terrorists, while focusing on a very small group of so-called white supremacists. And the same time the federal wants to extend the term “domestic terrorist” to any who may have voted for Donald Trump, those consider themselves as conserrvative, religious, and defenders of the Constitution and the separation of powers. I also agree that this wasn’t a well-crafted poll. Finally, what America is facing is a spiritual problem, but that’s a topic for a different time.

The exploding crime problem is a moral problem – the consequences of US Supreme Court’s removal of God’s moral standards expressed through prayer, Bible reading, Ten Commandments, as well as legalizing murder of the unborn made in God’s image. Consequently, there are no longer internal restraints from evil and even the external restraints are being removed (i.e., “Defund the Police”). All of this leads to chaos, destruction and death, including our once “land of the free and home of the brave.” Sad beyond words. Only a Heaven-sent 2 Chronicles 7:14 spiritual awakening can stop this “moral insanity” and heal our land!

Most people have respect for others and their individual rights. However commercialism in society has been teaching children for the last 25 years or so that all that matters is instant gratification. If you can’t get what you want just take it. Whether it’s a toy or a sandwich. Disrespect and greed is just fine. The old Socialist mantra. The end justifies the means. How many dictators have followed that credo. Change starts with outlook on your situation in life. But they want to tear down all of our stable institutions and create an unstable society that trusts nothing and only looks out for Number One.

The problem is multi-layered, the solution however is clear. The incivility toward community, toward others, toward authority is a learned response. It is fostered, if not promoted in the home from early childhood. There are no consequences for bad parents, their short comings are cast on others such as teachers or law enforcement. Parents need to be held legally accountable. They teach entitlement and expect (demand) others take care of them and their children. Today local communities are holding fund raisers for back to school items. Parents, that is your responsibility to fund what your child needs, not mine. At Christmas the same parents go from organization to organization for gifts for their children. Parents, that is your responsibility to provide for your children, not my responsibility. To top it off they demand we change the season’s name from Christmas to Holiday Season. The community feeds these children morning, lunch and after school meals. Parents that is your responsibility, not ours. Parents teach disrespect of law enforcement, demeaning the officers unless it is protection the parent wants. Alms, or charity, needs to be buttressed through the church, not government. The church can infuse morals, the government propels dependency. The left wing media tries force a narrative that family problems are the result of societal problems. The media makes the problem worse, it spares the parent personal responsibility.

The condition of America and other countries is not new. And it is a well known fact that societies crumble from within. When the hatters take away respect for life and law and order, no society can last long. Read Gods Word. God uses the word, “wrath” to express His displeasure for disobedience!
It is absolutely because of the dirty Democrats and people like George Soros. They constantly lie lie lie and get away with it. They all need to be held accountable. It just seems to never happen.
The Dems encouragement of riots has given the thugs permission to do anything they want. Media supports the thugs and Dems. They can’t afford to let “ignorant” citizens who hear only MSM to know any real truth. Liberals have everything backward: uphold criminals, defund police. Assist illegal entry at souther border, turn away Cubans fleeing communism. I have never seen such an inept bunch of clowns as those running this country now. I don’t understand what they think they will gain when this country is in absolute ruins – they live here too – and once America is gone, there’s nowhere else to run. We’re being controlled by the slaves of the devil himself!
wow- this one should’ve been multiple choice! because it’s a combination of things- the democratic mobs defund the police, open the border without checking to see who’s coming in- blm/antifa mobs inciting hate/violence, crt, releasing criminals from prisons.. having a senile man as president, a brainless vice president, demented nancy … God please help our country survive this administration!
This is what it is all about “The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a violent sociopolitical purge movement in China from 1966 until Mao Zedong’s death ” , this is what is being done here and now on purpose. It is not about crime it is about spreading Marxism. Demoralizing the citizenry is part of the process.
There are so many factors involved and good for the American people that the ones with common sense recognize it..but the big question is, how to contain it and stop it? It is going to take many lazy, wishy-washy conservative Republican lawmakers to get off their behinds and recognize these issues and confront the liberal Dem government..everything has been all talk and no action for so many years, that is why we are now in this mess!
Get all the mental cases and loose cannons out of our city, state and government offices and maybe we will have a chance!!
In 1971, Our Government took control of public education. What we see today is the result.
THINK. When many of you were young, the mass murder we know was The St. Valentine Day
Masicure. Chicago, of course. We sat back and let Wahington take education away from us.
Until We The Peole, take it back, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. So get used to it
