Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Democratic cities that enacted bail reform see rise in crime, repeat offenses
Just five days before allegedly plowing a red SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisc., killing six, the suspected attacker, who had a long criminal history, had been released on $1,000 bail in a case in which he was accused of running a woman over in his car. The low bail for the suspect — even the Milwaukee County DA has since acknowledged it was "Inappropriately low" — has thrust bail reform back to the forefront of the national conversation.
In Los Angeles, District Attorney George Gascon eliminated cash bail altogether last year. Since then, murders and shootings in the city have risen sharply year-over-year, with homicides rising 26% in the first six months of the year. In New York City, criminals are being put back on the streets after the state government enacted bail reform, which eliminated bail altogether for many crimes. Crime, particularly the murder rate, continues to hit record levels in the city compared to past years.

If Democrats want something to blame for why they are doing so poorly in the off year elections and pretty much every poll out there, this might be something to point fingers at.  But it seems like everything with Democrats is over the top, rhetorical, virtue signaling, with almost a contest like race to see who can appear to be more tolerant of the intolerable which seems to be labeled in 2021 as "woke". 

As in the concept that we kept violent criminals off the street was simply a case of us wrongly sleeping through decades (if not centuries) and allowing the nightmarish idea that violence should not be tolerated. Then we wake up and realize that we shouldn't be afraid of violence, but rather be afraid of being called a racist or intolerant to the downtrodden. 

Because being a Democratic means never having to take responsibility for anything. Perhaps that is not as popular with real adults as it is with childish liberals.

Killadelphia Update

This is the problem with Democrats talking tough on gun control. You hear them talk about “getting guns off our streets,” but they don’t want to prosecute the people who are actually committing crimes with those guns — because all the criminals are Democrats.

...

What Democrats don’t want to admit is that crime is a people problem. It is easy to focus on guns, but the inanimate object does not kill people. Democrats have trained their media allies to mindlessly repeat the phrase “gun violence,” but my guns are not involved in violence. My podcast partner John Hoge has a rather substantial arsenal of firearms, none of which has ever been involved in “gun violence.”

Rhetoric that demonizes law-abiding gun owners is necessary to the Democratic Party agenda of absolving themselves and their constituents of responsibility. Nothing that goes wrong in Philadelphia — or Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, etc. — is the fault of the people directly involved, because those people vote Democrat. The voters who elect Democrats must be held blameless for their problems, and the blame must be transferred to scapegoats — which is why phrases like “white privilege” and “systemic racism” have entered the political lexicon.

Roger is always so Spectacularly wrong, he said the "ONLY" way to reduce inflation rates was to get Mrs. Buttigeg to pull the butt plug out of the West Coast Ports.

Now , well, of course , Alky shits.

But officials have found there are few large levers that they can quickly pull to ease the shipping delays that have pushed goods prices up. Administration economists say they are considering all options for more action and are promoting some recent progress in reducing backlogs at ports. The lack of specific details — or even floated ideas from business groups or elsewhere — on what other policies could quickly clear supply chains is telling. Biden’s recent meeting on the subject with leaders of 14 countries at the Group of 20 summit in Rome produced no game-changing agreements on actions to pursue." Alky caves.

"So in other words...

"We are talking a lot, but not getting much of anything actually done?" CHT
