Brandon Johnson Lays Out Ideological Basis of Chicago Crime

Crime in the Democrat stronghold Chicago is out of control. Residents cannot even hold a Christmas tree lighting ceremony without people getting killed:

A 14-year-old boy shot and killed Friday night in the Loop, just hours after the city’s annual Christmas tree lighting downtown, is being remembered as a funny, basketball-loving teen with a bright future.

The deadly shooting, which also wounded an 18-year-old man, was the second of two shooting incidents in the Loop less than an hour apart late Friday night. Hundreds of young people had gathered downtown to participate in a so-called “teen takeover” that was advertised on social media, adding to the thousands already downtown for the Christmas tree lighting.

In total, nine young people were shot in the separate incidents.

The source of the crime is cultural; the welfare state has been used breed a population of sociopathic savages. The reason the crime is allow to flourish is ideological. Black Lives Matter Mayor Brandon Johnson lays it out:

To quote:

“We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence.”

Why not? Because:

“It is racist.”

That is liberals’ BLM ideology in a nutshell. Enforcing the law is racist, so criminals must be allowed to run amok terrorizing the law-abiding. If you don’t like it, you are a racist and will be dealt with appropriately as soon as Democrats have the political leverage. That’s when they will have a use for the police.

Meet the DEI Judge Who Let Lawrence Reed Loose

Who the hell would unleash Lawrence Reed at the public’s throat after 71 prior arrests? Judge Theresa Molina-Gonzalez would. She is all about black–brown racial solidarity:

The DEI judge explains her decision to release the violent maniac:

According to transcripts obtained by CWB Chicago, as Molina-Gonzalez released Reed in August, she said: ‘I can’t keep everybody in jail because the state’s attorney wants me to.’

Any idiot could predict that Reed would continue to hurt people. What I don’t get is how she knew it would be a white woman like Bethany MaGee that he set on fire.

Somali Assimilation Explained by a Somali

LANGUAGE ALERT: a Somali colonist thoughtfully uses English as she explains how assimilation works in her explosively growing community:

Only immigrants assimilate. Muslim colonists are conquerors, not immigrants.

Key quote:

“We don’t want to be like you.”

Democrats’ purpose in importing them in such massive numbers is not to make them like us, but to make us like them.

New York Islamocommunist Crime Prevention Strategy

For help on how to impose his Islamocommunist ideology on New York, Zohran Mamdani can turn to local colleges:

A self-proclaimed imam speaking at a CUNY City College interfaith event went into a Jew-hating tirade, urging Muslim students to leave in protest after complaining that a “Zionist” was present.

Islamic scholar Abdullah Mady inspired 100 students to walk out after he complained about having to sit next to a Jew at the interfaith event.

Mady also offered a crime prevention tip:

Earlier in his speech, he spoke about sharia law and chopping off the fingers of thieves…

Maybe crime will be kept under control in Mamdani’s New York after all. But wait:

“I’m talking about the elite, the filthy rich, the ones that continue to steal from people as we speak today. Those are the ones that deserve their tips to be cut off,” he said.

Sounds like he means capitalists, not criminals. No word on how soon he joins Mamdani’s cabinet.

Services Decline Under Woke Taxachusetts Mayor

Moonbat rule means ever more taxation and moonbattery and ever less of the services that would make government worth paying for. Consider Medford, Massachusetts under Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn:

Lungo-Koehn is racking up do-gooder awards for her environmental crusading, but some elected officials and residents of the Boston suburb are less impressed with her latest effort that will soon see trash pickup reduced to once every two weeks.

The city already has a rat problem, which can be expected to get worse.

The new plan, which will see residents’ 64-gallon trash bins collected half as frequently, was announced in tandem with the news that Medford had received a $200,000 “Pay As You Throw” grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.

This was presented as a big win for environment. Barks the hyphenated mayor:

“It’s the right move for our residents and businesses, it’s the right move for the environment, and it’s the right move for our City’s future.”

The right move for the city’s residents would be out of Taxachusetts and off to a red state, where garbage gets picked up and taxes don’t cost an arm and a leg. They are requested to please leave their liberal voting habits behind.

Mark Kelly Could Face Court Martial for Sedition

Mark Kelly pushed Democrat arrogance to a new extreme by encouraging service members to disobey orders. He may face consequences:

The Department of War released a statement on Monday announcing it will review “serious allegations of misconduct” against Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a retired Navy captain.

The allegations should not be hard to substantiate. They arise from a widely viewed video that he made with the similarly unsavory Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and congresscritters Christopher DeLuzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO).

“In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures,” the statement read.

The video attempted to stay technically within the law by referring to “illegal” orders. However, the congressional miscreants could not give an example of which orders should be regarded as illegal.

Orders are presumed to be legal, or military discipline would come unraveled. The obvious intent of the video was to encourage insubordination so as to hamstring their own country’s elected government.

From our Secretary of War:

“Foolish” is a generous interpretation of their behavior — though Kelly is certainly foolish enough, because unlike the others he is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The others could be held responsible too:

[The Department of War] reminded the public that federal laws “prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces,” adding “any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.”

These channels should be vigorously pursued with each of the Seditious Six. At the very least they should be removed from office immediately, if only for the sake of national security.
