NYC Mayor Eric Adams turns to Chicago's Lightfoot for ideas on how to tackle violent crime... even as violent crime surges 34% in the Windy City
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Eric Adams and Lori Lightfoot met privately and had a 'hastily scheduled' presser Friday

  • The mayors of New York and Chicago pledged to work together to fight crime

  • Crime in NYC is up 45% compared to last year - in Chicago it's up 34%

  • Transit crimes are also up in both cities, with Adams saying that he hopes to 'learn' from what Lightfoot and Chicago officials are doing to combat it

  • Crime, a major part of Adam's candidacy, continues to go up following a staggering 60% increase in the month of February over the same period last year

#1 Recivilization require a sacrifice in blood. Usually more of the perps than victims. Unfortunately, you're too wrapped up in CRT to make that commitment.

#2 Adams might look to someone like Rudy as someone who impacted crime in the Big Apple. Nothings going to occur by seeking advice from Lightfoot. She's done zip for Chicago. Adam's would do better to arm the honest citizens of NYC.

#3 Adam's might check to see if Bernhard Goetz is available for clean-up a job.

#6 How about actually putting these idiots in prison for long stretches? Or drop them off the top of the Empire state building. Both work for me.

#8 Criminal behavior and crime suppression are antagonistic forces. In times past the suppression was more organized but rigidly managed, the criminal was opportunistic but mostly individualized behavior. Warehousing large numbers of the criminal class for years, and the credible threat of so doing acted as a suppression factor as long as public support saw the relative efficacy of the process. You commit a crime, you get caught, you are fairly judged, and you are warehoused. Today, each part of this process has been fragmented. LE is hyper-rigidly monitored and in casses involving POC, potentially career ending even if precise rules are followed if the community climate has become racialized. Crimnal behavior has become culturally normative amongst many urban minorities, and more importantly, organized effectively, usually in tribal/gang structures. The criminal justice system has been undermined by racial reasoning despite massive evidence to the contrary, and disparate outcomes are rampant where prosecutorial integrity has been compromised. Finally, warehousing has been demonized as unjustly punitive to one segment of society, despite all the evidence that occupants were overwhelming deserving of their occupancy. Voila, our current growing problem. The old paradigm works quite satisfactorily, but so much of it is so corroded by mistrust and neglect, the restorative actions will have an initial tsunami of visible effect that may likely overwhelm any political force employing them. Hence the drift in urban areas towards impoverished cancers of public apathy, corruption, violence and political sedition. The fix at this point, is growing towards a quite ungly set of alternatives, none of then pretty, and most terminally destructive of the traditional American dream. I wish it wasn't so, and hope I am delusional in my dotage, but if not, fort up my friends, fill the larders and find ways to hold what you have locally!
