National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

[Muppet]

Get.
The.
Fuck.
Out.
Of.
Philly.

Save yourself and those you love.

I've been out since 2000. I'm just north now. Our resident cop/medic and I trained together in Philly, I'm born/raised there. That's how he and I became tight.

Unfortunately, my wife's aunt lives in the city, actually, not far from Temple, in the Kensington section, a truthful shit hole full of scallywag scoundrels, junkies, drug dealers and lots of homicides.

We go down there at least twice a month, I try to not cross the city line that my county connects. My anxiety heightens and my anger gets bad when I do.

At this point, I'd rather be in Lancaster County, far away from those mutts.

God willing, sooner than later, my wife will accept my wishes to move to Idaho, Wyoming or Montana.

God knows we have our own shit sandwich in North Carolina but compared to some of these other places it's the land of milk and honey....

I absolutely understand the family connection, ironically the only family I have here are my in-laws, all transplants from Buffalo NY, and my wife doesn't want to leave them. I would head towards North Carolina coast in an absolute heartbeat if I could.

Sure it wasn't an unforgettable night in Seattle's bohemian district? No judgement, just love.

So I saw the hashtag and thought there would be a lot of anti-semitic shit on there from BLM types. I clicked the hashtag for Jewish Privilege and you had jews talking about their experiences with anti-semitic and racist abuses against them.

Lol. Sure. 0300 downtown and there have been several homicides in that area over the last week. That’s putting a hard right spin on a murder if I ever saw one.

At the local level that might seem inconsequential, just another day at the canal. Looking at things at the national level though, this is another instance of racially motivated violence. Between mobs beating small business owners to death, assaulting little old ladies, and everything else, one can safely assume the criminal class is using this Floyd BS as a justification/cover for their actions.

Right now it's open season on the rest of us.

I'm sure a social worker response would have kept the murder from happening....

On serious note....people that scream defund the police, need to start looking at large cities where violent crime is on the upturn. We will see violence go back to the late 80's early 90's days.

Listening to DeBlasio's plan to try and stem the surge of violent crime on this clip...wait I thought we didn't need cops and we were paying too much overtime? Specifically 1:20 to 1:37. The rest of it could be in the Gun Control thread.

New York has never admitted their gun laws don't work and have placed blame on other factors....

 

[Marauder06]

I live in NY now. Their guns laws are a total pain in the ass.

I have no doubt that it was racially motivated. Just like the other homicides down there recently. That said, there’s been an uptick in shootings downtown which is relatively rare in that area.

I think these attorneys have a point. For context, Ellison is now Minnesota’s Attorney General.

to add: Earl Grey is who anyone who could afford him, wants defending them.

I haven't seen any actual evidence to support what I'm about to say but, anecdotally, my guess is violent crime is up rather significantly in every major city in the country. Locally, thugs were emboldened by a lack of support to police departments from elected officials and a lack of response to unrest in general. Unless that changes, this elevated level of crime will continue.

Not surprised and agree, the attorneys have a valid argument. Ellison is a tool.

Prior to this debacle, how common in your eyes we're racially motivated crimes compared to now? I've been looking at the FBI's UCR's but the navigation is a mess and the most recent data isn't going to be up for a while.

James Woods may be new favorite Hollywood-type. Generally, I don't have much time or interest in any of that crowd but, damn, some of his Tweets are entertaining...

Looks like at least certain companies won't tolerate Anti-Semitism.
