2023-07-27 -Lurid Crime Tales-
Gosh, How Could That Have Happened? Seattle is struggling with organized retail theft and there aren't enough police to deal with it.
[HotAir] BLUF: So to sum this up, organized gangs have moved in to the business of retail theft and, thanks to BLM activists and progressive city council members who wanted desperately to defund the police back in 2020, the city can’t begin to get a handle on this crime. The people who see it up close know this is hurting them but the city’s plans probably won’t accomplish much given that there are only so many ways to rearrange police resources when they are badly short-staffed. On top of all of that, you still have progressives who are desperate to defend the progressive prosecutors and progressive judges who helped create this problem.
Yesterday we learnt that Mexican drug cartels are involved in the national shoplifting spree, now we learn how it is organized locally.

#1 You misunderstand. In the Peoples Democratic Republic of Seattle this is just another of their government approved wealth redistribution programs.

#2 Not just Seattle.

Wait, so, what's going on with DPS patrols in Austin?

#3 Even in a Soros model city you need to have enough police to catch the criminals so that the DA can downgrade the charges to keep the crime statistics where they need to be. If you leave yourself only enough police to fill out police reports, your statistics never get laundered.
