Why Be a Judge If You Don't Think Anyone Is Guilty?
Liberal strongholds do nothing until lives are lost.
It’s bad enough that criminals in liberal cities face no punishment until their crimes reach outrageous levels.
It’s even worse that the people who allow these crimes expect no punishment at all.
In Austin this week a crazy guy who was likely high on drugs killed three people in a Target parking lot. Officials can hardly say they didn’t see this coming. As Austin’s police chief said afterward, “[suspect Ethan] Nieneker has a history with the Austin Police Department which includes assault causing bodily injury to a family member, driving while intoxicated, possession of marijuana, violation of a protective order, and two mental health reports.”
Apparently none of this was serious enough to get the killer locked up for any length of time, so he had to kill three people, including a four year-old child, to get attention.
Meanwhile in the liberal heaven of Seattle, officials finally ordered the cleanup of a homeless camp. One murder likely wouldn’t have been enough, but luckily for local residents, there was a double murder over the weekend. One victim (age 40) was dead right there and another (33) died at a nearby hospital.
True to form, Seattle had long since decided that using police to keep an eye on obviously-illegal settlements was bad form, so instead they spent millions on “Unified Care Teams” to serve as enablers.
Of course, local tax-paying residents,. “who routinely complained about the impacts of open drug use so close to a children’s playground,” were ignored until the matter became the lead story on every local newscast. When the city’s hand was finally forced, “neighbors said the cleanup began early Wednesday morning and was completed by 9:30 a.m.”
That wasn’t so hard, was it? And all it took was two pointless deaths.
Not far away, a 74 year-old man driving an RV killed a 45 year-old woman who was standing in a front yard in the town of Skyway and threatening no one. The man, clearly old enough to know better, had put away an entire six-pack of beer before getting behind the wheel. “Court documents reveal that [suspect Daniel] Hayes is suspected of driving drunk on the night of the crash. He also has an active warrant from another DUI arrest out of state.”
In each of these cases, police and judges had plenty of opportunity to stop things before they got this bad, but they didn’t. One news report stated, “the encampment had been swept before, but people returned with their tents earlier this summer. The double homicide was a final straw for many neighbors.”
It was certainly the final straw for the two dead guys. In all of this, the people who are supposed to do something to solve the problems—the prosecutors and judges—do little or nothing until things get so bad they are forced to. Their actions show that they really don’t want to do anything in the first place, basically allowing the lawbreakers to get away with murder.
Well, everything except murder.
This is what power hungry zealots do best to amass undeserved influence and unearned wealth-intentionally overwhelm their opposition by flaunting and/or ignoring the same rules/customs/traditions we have ALL agreed to play by (and respect). We have to come up with a way to stop the specious and spurious abuses of our legal system, that force us to allow bad behavior and corrupt activities (being blatantly engaged in by many/most of our elected reps) to continue on.
