Town pledges to not call cops, esp. for "property crime" apparently. So what happens? Homeless, prostitutes and drug dealers are relocating there en masse.
Their response? Read this:
“I’m not being judgmental,” Carrie Nightshade, 44, told the Times, explaining she no longer allows her children, 12 and 9, to play in the park by themselves. “It’s not personal. It’s just not safe.
...
Another resident, Mitchell Erickson, said he regretted calling 911 when two black teenagers cornered him a block away from his home, held a gun to his chest and demanded his car keys. Erickson said he mistakenly handed over his house keys, and the frustrated teens left him only to steal another car a few blocks away.
“Been thinking more about it,” Erickson said in a text message to a reporter. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops.”
I don't think i want to even be on the same planet as this level of thinking. How far off is SpaceX from the Mars thing?
You refuse to be judgemental about hookers and drug dealers taking over your community? You feel bad for people who threatened you with a gun to steal your car that you didn't give it to them and had the gall to call the cops? It's now "white privilege" to expect to be safe in your own neighborhood?
What...... The..... F........
I'm down to wondering if some foreign power has poisoned our water supply with something that causes stupidity. No one can feel that guilty about being middle class. No one can be that stupid without a genetic or chemical reason, surely. No one can reason that the "two black teenagers" are better off being left to a community full of drugs and crime as a way of life versus insisting on a basic respect for the social contract that we all respect each other's rights. No one can honestly think the solution to law enforcement excess is to allow people to steal cars at gunpoint in order to improve their lives and their neighborhood.
How can anyone think this helps ANYONE in the long run? Anarchy and lawless crime waves are going to do more to make black lives (or any other lives) matter than safe communities where businesses can open and provide jobs and a tax base for improved education? We've gone from Enterprise Zones designed to encourage businesses in poor areas to "Autonomous" zones that are free for gangs, dealers and hookers to operate in those areas? This is helping?
Trump is an asshat, but if my choice is his antics or tacit acceptance of this direction for our nation, what the heck kind of choice is that?
