re: Crime is OOC around the country

Mmmbeer would eat it up because he saw a documentary that was sad and his wife’s boyfriend would have less chance of arrest

First we saw local mayors and local politicians throw the void under the bus. Some eventually announced that we need to defund the police and let communities police themselves.

We saw riots all across the country, and the authorities just let it happen. Thugs, gang members and punks saw that they could violate the law with impunity and nothing would happen.

Lawmakers themselves picked laws they wanted enforced and ignored the others. The cops were instructed to ignore petty crime and we saw 900 dollar smash and grabs and stealing 900 dollars or less become rampant.

Police became a four letter word and people wonder why crime is out of control.

Just like cities, you can simply ride around and figure out the better places to live out here in the country. Yes they're more expensive, oh well.

Anybody driving down our country road looking for trouble, they gonna find more than they can handle.

That article honestly confuses me, especially the second case (rape).

The first one, sounds like dude was in jail for five years because he couldn't make bail? He had one trial but it was declared a mistrial and has been unable to get a new trial since. So, despite never being found guilty or convicted of a crime, he spent 5 years behind bars and an additional 3 years out on bond? If the courts can't get this dude a trial within 8 years of being accused of a crime, I mean, I kinda get it. As the judge said, the man was not receiving justice. Also, the involvement of the Innocence Project, who I think VERY highly of, makes me further believe that the reason for the mistrial/hung jury was due to inadequate evidence.

The second one, I'm totally lost. Seems the dude was complaining about the jury? They granted him a new trial but then the DA offered him some sort of plea deal that, once rebuffed by his lawyers, led to his release? I don't understand what happened there, nor do I understand why Kim Kardashian is lobbying for the dude. Seems the DA definitely dropped the ball on this one.

The new DA set up a "sit down" between the victim and the perp - it's pretty messed up really. I'm assuming if these were white guys the cases wouldn't have gone away, but IDK

I really like the "I was just there to steal change again" defense.

And I really am dealing with a POS drug dealing mofo that's running around the streets. The cops and DAs aren't doing jack shite - especially in blue areas - and they know it. It will only get worse until we start getting tougher on crime.

There is no reason for these jack wads to be running around in the wild and committing crimes against normal people. They should be locked up - again and again and again until they're too old and feeble to do it again.

I would guess a large number of people on td live in nola/br/South LA.

You lock your doors there all the time

Probably but there must be good parts of town where crime is negligible.

Edit: I assume that every city has a crime ridden area but I also assume that most people here are fortunate to live in the safer more affluent areas?

I'd love to see some stats to back that up.
