re: It sucks to live in a city losing its battle with criminals

DA isn’t my buddy at all brother. Not here, my experience with them is almost unbelievable. They are definitely a huge part of the problem.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Ashley as she could sometimes be a raging bull bitch. That said I appreciate her tons now because she was effective and at least tried.

The simple truth is that as a city becomes minority controlled, crime becomes a bigger issue but less a priority with political leadership so it always becomes a big problem.

Minority women with kids are the real problem, they want crime down but they fear their kids being arrested etc, and often distrust police based upon prior history etc. So they oppose effective police work. It’s a “catch 22” situation. Lots of rallies etc after every kid and bystander gets killed at the same time effective police work and prosecutions are being curtailed etc. Criminal defense bar is now more politically powerful that DAs office. That’s never a good thing for any city.

All the big California cities are perfect examples and proof of this. New Orleans is exhibit “A”. We are just a few high profile murders away from complete white middle class flight which will only make it worse. Mobile is on borrowed time

Shame, too, because Mobile has some beautiful areas (especially around USA) and is absolutely booming industry-wise.

You get what you vote for. Dem leadership has played soft on crime for 5 years now. Mobile still better than N.O. but it's getting bad.

"Criminals" have ruined every city of any size in the South. They're not just allowed to do so, they're given support to do so. Time to wake up.

Maybe it would be better to have some easy online 5 dollar or less registration just for conceal carry and a card. I would rather have something I can have in my wallet so I can use it to travel to other states that have reciprocity anyway.

States that don’t have constitutional carry aren’t going to grant reciprocity to your state for a $5 online license. Some states like MS have constitutional carry for everyone.

The problem is that the penalties for acting the arse aren’t harsh enough,

The DA is another issue completely but look to see who some of his big supporters are and you know it all.

It’s simply a political and demographic problem.

The people inclined to live in an urban area in 2025 won’t vote for strict DAs even in the south. The only exception is Miami which is unique due to the Cuban population.

So a DA advocating for community policing gets elected and criminals who should be on their third felony are out walking around doing hood rat stuff sitting on a pending misdemeanor case that gets delayed and plead down.

Meanwhile the rot accelerates with half the population pretending everything is fine while leaving notes begging criminals not to break their window when they rob their car and the 25% of people who want to fix it give up and move only to be replaced by more people who vote for social workers instead of police.

After a shooting and murder at a children’s dance recital at the Saenger Theater in Mobile and multiple gang style shootings and shoot outs all over every park in Mobile, it’s apparently legal for every criminal to carry now and cops are saying there is nothing to do about it unless they are a convicted felon so they quit doing roadblocks etc.

---

Mobile is probably one of the worst examples for this.


That was a case of “disrespect” and the guy turned himself in.

Mobile police are constantly raiding gang hovels and ain’t no Mobile DA letting this trash walk.

It’s not a case like NOLA literally just permitting this shite to happen. Hell, one of the shooters from that shooting on sage was arrested in Ohio. MPD does not give a frick and will let you be if you’re a good ol boy, but frick you up if you’re acting with malice.

The problem is all the trash that moved her after Katrina.
