THIS IS WHAT DEMS HAVE DONE TO OAKLAND - CA IS NOW CRIME CAPITAL OF AMERICA

 

BLACK GRINS WHEN SENTENCED FOR MURDERING INNOCENT TEEN. 50 YEARS!

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sltr-sqRO_c


WE WILL SOON REACH A POINT WHEREBY ALL OF AMERICA IS CLOSED DOWN DUE TO BLACK CRIME.

IN ACROSS THE BAY SAN FRANCISCO, ONLY 8% OF THE POPULATION IS BLACK. THESE PEOPLE PERPETRATE 40% OF THE CRIME. THESE STATS ARE PRE-COVID. CAR JACKINGS, STORE LOOTINGS AND ASSAULTS ARE TYPICALLY ALL BLACK CRIMES.

IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL D.C., PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES AT NIGHT DUE TO BLACK CRIME. 

In a statement confirmed by an ABC7 reporter and obtained Sunday by The Standard, In-N-Out Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick spoke plainly about the company's "repeated steps to create safer conditions," saying "our customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft and armed robberies."

Another historic first: In-N-Out closes a restaurant in Oakland on truly scary crime concerns

In crime-plagued Oakland, the city achieved a "historic first" of they kind they'd probably rather not advertise:

According to the San Francisco Standard:

In-N-Out Burger announced Sunday that it plans to close its Oakland location within the next two months due to what it described as "ongoing issues with crime."

Fine and undandy.

In California, especially Southern California, but also in the north, In-N-Out Burgers is an institution. 

Older than McDonald's, it's popular because of its non-processed food with no chemicals to give you a headache, and for its simple menu with the best prices on the fast food scene of California. People love the place, it's iconic, they hop off from airplanes at LAX and other airports and make a beeline to the In-N-Out nearby. They buy branded merchandise with its cute little palm tree designs from the place. Movie stars go there and yes, it is to be seen.

I just went to In-N-Out this weekend in San Diego where I carefully timed my visit to make sure I got in ahead of the crowd at the drive-thru because the car lines can be very long, though the restaurant is pretty good at making it move quickly anyway. A young man in a traditional 1950s white military-style hat greeted me and took my order from the window, well before I got to the order intercom or the pay window. My order was all done and ready to go by the time I got to the pickup window.

Still, it's competitive from even the road to get into the line and frequently, the car line snakes out into the road, so I know the visit needs to be timed and planned. Once through, though it's delicious!

The details of that closure, from the company are ugly enough:

In a statement confirmed by an ABC7 reporter and obtained Sunday by The Standard, In-N-Out Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick spoke plainly about the company's "repeated steps to create safer conditions," saying "our customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft and armed robberies."

The company said the store's last day of business would be Sunday, March 24.

In-N-Out thanked the community for its 18 years of support before acknowledging the impact the sudden closure would have on workers and their families, stating that "this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and well- being of our Customers and Associates—we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment."

It's pretty bad if you have to close a profitable restaurant because the crime hitting your customers and staff outweighs even the profit. As with LAX, this In-N-Out is located on the highway to Oakland's airport which makes it a convenient place to eat in the era of no-meal airline flights. 

 It's an area that has grown bleak. A correspondent who has been there noted to me by message this morning:
Almost no residents nearby. Car dealers, gas stations, and office buildings. Across the freeway is the Oakland. Coliseum, abandoned by its basketball, football, and (rumored soon) baseball tenants. 

It gets even worse when you read the San Francisco Chronicle's account of what was going on there:

The In-N-Out, a convenient pit stop for travelers headed to Oakland International Airport and a buzzy hangout after A’s games at the Coliseum, has become the epicenter for crime in a city grappling with a surge in violence and theft. Since 2019, police have logged 1,335 incidents in the vicinity of the diner on 8300 Oakport St. — more than any other location in Oakland.

...and...

That number includes nine robberies, two commercial burglaries, four domestic violence incidents and 1,174 car break-ins, according to Oakland police data. Chaotic scenes unfold daily. Sean Crawford, who works in a building around the corner from the diner, said he’s watched robbery crews bust doors of work vans and heard In-N-Out customers loudly confronting burglars.

In one instance last year, Crawford and some co-workers were driving by the diner when they saw a car pull up to the drive-thru line. Two people jumped out and methodically went from vehicle to vehicle, robbing people at gunpoint, Crawford said.

This is the kind of horror that happens in Latin America, in the bad parts of Venezuela, or Colombia, or maybe Brazil during its worst years. You can't build a society with trust with that kind of unpunished crime going on, and obviously, it's been going on a long time for it to get to that level.

In-N-Out is apparently no stranger to these security concerns, either, what with its long car lines. Here is the one I went to -- and I had no idea there had been problems until I saw this CBS8 report from a few years ago:

What a nightmare.

San Diego's is still there but Oakland has another 'historic first' -- the first blue city to send In-N-Out fleeing for refuge based on the conditions of the city -- even though they were making money.

I hope the leftists running that city are proud of themselves.

The nation’s capital recorded more homicides in 2023 than any year since 1997, marking the fifth-highest murder rate among the nation’s biggest cities, according to a report.

The Washington Post reported Monday that 274 people were confirmed victims in 2023, with 19 of them children and young teenagers.

The rate of homicides was 40 per 100,000 residents. In 1997, 302 people were killed.

VIDEO — ‘F**k These Cops!’: NYC Driver Accused of Hitting Policeman Says ‘It’s a Lesson to Him’

A driver accused of hitting a police officer in New York City apparently did it on purpose, sources told the New York Post on Friday.

Authorities and sources said the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Sahara Dula, was behind the wheel of her Lexus going the wrong way on the Upper East Side on Wednesday when she allegedly hit the New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer.

An image shows the suspect in the case:

The Post article noted Dula was allegedly high on marijuana at the time. The article continued:

“I told the cop I wanted to go straight, and he wouldn’t move, so I hit him. I did it on purpose,’’ Dula later told investigators, according to court papers.

“F–k these cops! He wouldn’t move!’’ she screamed a few minutes after the incident, the documents claim — with a source saying Dula added, “F–k these cops, it’s a lesson to him, and hopefully he doesn’t want to be a cop anymore.”

Dash camera footage caught the moment the incident unfolded, showing the officer approaching the black vehicle, which was pointed the wrong way on the street, according to PIX 11 News.

Someone yells, “Hey! Be careful!” seconds before the car lurches forward and smashes into the officer. After his body slams into the hood, it flips and lands on the street. The driver exits the vehicle with her hands in the air shortly after the collision.

According to the Post, the incident happened as officers were investigating an unrelated robbery at a store and had closed off the area. The officer involved suffered a broken leg and bruising.

The outlet also said Dula has a degree in criminal justice and reportedly runs a business mentoring children through music to keep them off the streets and away from drugs.

In addition, the suspect also reportedly has bipolar disorder, takes several medications, and is a mental health patient.

In a social media post on Thursday, Post Millennial Senior Editor Andy Ngô described Dula as a Black Lives Matter (BLM) activist:

The Post article detailed the charges Dula faces:

Dula was charged with first-degree attempted assault, attempted aggravated assault upon a police officer, second-degree assault, second-degree reckless endangerment, and operating a vehicle while ability impaired by drugs and reckless driving, according to the criminal complaint.

The report also noted that the suspect has a history of run-ins with the law.

According to Pix 11, the suspect is held on a $25,000 cash bail and is in custody on Rikers Island.

VIDEO – ‘It’s Scary’: NYC Hospital Worker Accused in Queens Stabbing Spree

The 27-year-old accused in a stabbing spree across Queens has been charged in five attacks after being caught on Wednesday.

Authorities charged Jermain Rigueur with three counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault, a single count of attempted assault, and criminal possession of a weapon, the New York Post reported Thursday.

 

Police arrested the suspect, who works as a greeter for Brooklyn’s Woodhull Hospital, on Wednesday evening after tracking him down at his home in Springfield Gardens, according to CBS New York.

“It’s scary,” one neighbor told the outlet. “I’m so happy that they caught him”:

The first incident happened on January 8 when a grandfather was stabbed in the back while walking to a laundromat. The victim claimed the suspect smiled at him as he walked away from the scene, the elderly man told the Post.

A woman was stabbed as she walked home from work Tuesday evening and three other victims were stabbed early Wednesday.

Officials with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) alerted the public to the situation and manhunt on Wednesday morning before they found him hours later.

“On top of the five slashings, police are probing whether Rigueur is the same suspect who attacked a man on a Brooklyn subway platform Wednesday,” the Post report said.

Surveillance video shows the suspect, wearing a grey hoodie and dark colored pants, walking down a sidewalk and passing in front of a shop. Moments later, he turns around and produces what appears to be a large knife from his pocket:

The CBS report said the man has no criminal history and the hospital has placed him on administrative leave.

When speaking of one of the incidents during a news conference, an official said, “The suspect actually laughed in the victim’s face after he stabbed him,” according to Fox 5 New York.


Watch: Fired Atlanta Airport Barista Violently Attacks Managers as Travelers Watch

Atlanta
X

A former Atlanta, Georgia, airport coffee shop worker has gone viral for attacking the store’s managers with a chair after being fired.

Shacoria Elly was a barista at the Harvest & Grounds inside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport when she got into an argument with a co-worker about espresso shots on January 13, according to a police report obtained by Fox 5 Atlanta.

A video captured by a witness begins with Elly screaming, “Give me my stuff!” while shoving two male store managers in an attempt to get into the employee area behind the counter.

The manager in a red polo shirt attempts to subdue her as she fights, saying, “No, you can walk away. I’ll get your fucking stuff.”

He repeatedly points to the exit and tells Elly to “get out” as she continues to push him while yelling and then turning her attention to the second manager in a green shirt.

Elly can then be seen swinging her arms at the other manager as he tries to defend himself before she screams, “Bitch!” and grabs a nearby metal chair.

Before she can do damage with the improvised weapon, the taller manager snatches it from her grasp while the shorter one blocks her punches. 

The video escalates even more when Elly, again, rushes at the red-shirted man, this time only to find herself tossed onto the floor to the horror of shocked onlookers. 

Gasps erupt from the crowd as Elly connects with the floor before quickly bouncing back up to her feet and continuing to fight.

The young woman again swings at both of the managers before storming out of the store as the managers say to “call the police.”

Elly’s departure lasts all of two seconds before she makes a sharp 180-degree turn, sprints back into the store, and leaps over the coffee bar to the back of the shop.

Both managers grab Elly as she flings store products and equipment around before she eventually manages to grab a black jacket and bag. 

The woman slips and falls to the floor again before making her final exit as the video ends. 

Police said Elly was “terminated from her position” in their report, and airport security confiscated her badge.

“Elly was no longer in the area when the officer arrived. It does not appear from the report that officials are charging her with any crime,” Fox 5 noted.

Prosecutors: Chicago Woman Left Brain Dead After Eight-Time Felon Attacked Her on Train

Mijawon Johnson
Chicago Police Department

A 61-year-old Chicago woman is reportedly brain dead and may not live after she was beaten during a robbery on a train, prosecutors say.

The suspect in the case is an eight-time felon who is on parole for a separate robbery involving a police officer, CWB Chicago reported Wednesday.

“Judge William Fahy granted the state’s petition to detain Mijawon Johnson, 36, as a public safety threat during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse. State officials have also moved to revoke his parole,” the outlet said.

An image shows the suspect in the case:

Johnson was apparently caught on surveillance footage allegedly trying to swipe the woman’s bag as she rode the Red Line train on January 4.

He is accused of repeatedly hitting her in the head and stomach and stomping on her body before leaving the train.

After she was found unresponsive, the victim was put on a ventilator. Prosecutors say she is brain-dead and not expected to live very long.

Video footage shows crews near an ambulance outside the Red Line station where the incident occurred:

The suspect was identified, and police officers found him and took him into custody once they spotted him riding a Chicago Transit Authority bus.

He now faces charges of attempted murder along with two counts of aggravated battery in the case.

The CWB Chicago report noted that “Prosecutors also charged him with violating an order of protection for allegedly entering a 27-year-old Old Town woman’s residence on New Year’s Eve after being ordered to stay away.”

The suspect’s parole came in August after he served a portion of time for robbing a covert narcotics officer in 2021. At the time, he was on parole for aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer.

Illinois Department of Corrections records report that the suspect was given prison sentences numerous times for narcotics over the course of several years, per the CWB Chicago article.

Social media users commented on the report, one person writing, “You get what you vote for Chicago!!!”

“Shocking that an 8x felon would continue to commit crime,” another user stated.

In December, progressive Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson claimed homicides and shootings had gone down in the city and that money “for restoration and reparations” would help address the “cycle of violence” plaguing the city’s residents, according to Breitbart News.

Darnell “SuperChef” Ferguson, who has appeared on several Food Network shows, has been arrested in Kentucky and charged with a pair of felonies, including strangulation and burglary, along with several misdemeanor offenses.

Ferguson was arrested in Louisville, Kentucky, on Jan. 9 and accused of illegally entering a woman’s home and strangling her in a physical attack, according to WHAS-TV.

Jail records indicate that Ferguson was booked into the Metro Corrections facility at around 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

A police report claims that the TV chef entered the woman’s home, caused damage to walls and belongings, then strangled the woman and threatened to kill her.

The woman says she lost consciousness during the attack and when she awoke she found that Ferguson had undressed her. She says he warned her that she belonged to him and no one else.

Officials also say that Ferguson stole the woman’s credit cards and ID before he left the premises.

The woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries and later entered an order of protection against the TV personality.

Details about the pair’s relationship or any motivations for the attack have not been made public.

Ferguson pleaded not guilty at his first court appearance on Jan. 10 and bond was set at $10,000.

The suspect has appeared in several episodes of Food Network star Guy Fieri’s Tournament of Champions, and season two of his Food Network series SuperChef: Grudge Match began last month.

His two Louisville restaurants, “Tha Drippin’ Crab,” and “SuperChefs” have both gone out of business.

Ferguson is next set to appear in court on Jan. 18.

Retail theft crew caught on highway after fleeing Tysons with $4500 in handbags, police say

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. - A retail theft ring was caught after attempting to steal more than $4,500 worth of designer handbags from a high-end store at Tysons Center, Fairfax County police say.

Just after 5 p.m. Friday, the detectives with the Tysons Urban Team received an alert about the theft. The suspects reportedly grabbed multiple bags, ran out and hopped into a Chevrolet Suburban, attempting to flee the area.

Detectives began to search along I-495 South in Annandale in the direction the suspects were believed to have fled.

Police say despite the heavy traffic, detectives were able to navigate through the Express Lane to catch up to the crew. With the help of Virginia State Police, the detectives were able to make a traffic stop and successfully apprehended all four suspects on the interstate.

All four were taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center where they were charged.

Paris Teresa Hooks, 20, of Washington D.C was charged with grand larceny, conspiracy to commit larceny, and larceny with intent to sell and released on $6000 unsecured bond.

The police may have never learned about the disgraceful conditions two Florida boys were living in if one of those children hadn’t called 911 for help.

A 6-year-old boy called the Miami-Dade police the evening of Jan 3. to report that his mother left him alone with his 2-year-old brother in their home near Miami Shores. When the police responded to the home, they were met with a horrifying scene.

“Spencer failed to provide and protect her sons with care, supervision, and the services necessary to maintain their physical and mental health,” authorities say, per Local 10.

The report says she’s currently being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with a $5,000 bond. If convicted, she faces anywhere between 5 and 15 years in prison with a fine of $5,000.

Police: NYC Man Dragged Woman into Alley and Sexually Assaulted Her at Knifepoint

New York Crime
NYPD Crime Stoppers

A man is accused of dragging a woman into an alleyway and sexually assaulting her at knifepoint on Saturday at 12:30 a.m. in the Queens area of New York City.

Officers with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) are searching for the man who targeted the 45-year-old victim as she was walking near Northern Boulevard and 110th Street, the New York Post reported Sunday.

The suspect allegedly stole her jewelry and headphones during the incident before he fled on 109th Street.

In a social media post on Sunday, NYPD Crime Stoppers shared an image of the suspect, whom law enforcement said is five feet and six inches tall with a “medium complexion,” per the Post.

NYPD Crime Stoppers said he “forcibly removed the woman’s property & forced her to perform a sexual act”:

The man is also said to have been wearing a light green hoodie, black jogging pants, and grey sneakers. According to the Post, the victim was transported to a local hospital and listed in stable condition.

Now, police are asking those with more information regarding the case to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). Spanish speakers may call 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Social media users were quick to share their thoughts about the incident, one person writing, “And when he’s caught, he’ll be immediately released without bail – just like that last rapist home invader.”

“The suspect was probably released 32 times the last 2 months for other violent crimes,” another user commented.

It is important to note that felony suspects released without bail due to New York’s bail reform law are more likely to be rearrested than those given bail before the law was implemented, Breitbart News reported in April 2023.

The outlet continued:

study by researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice reviewed cases prior to the New York law taking effect and cases after the law was implemented where most suspects arrested for crimes are not required to pay any bail to be released from jail.

Overall, the study found that 47 percent of New York City suspects previously charged with felonies were rearrested for crimes —  including more than 31 percent of whom were rearrested for felonies, more than 17 percent rearrested for violent crimes, and almost four percent rearrested for firearm charges.

In December, Fox 5 New York highlighted several violent crimes that occurred in New York City.

In one instance, a Queens man killed four of his family members by stabbing them to death:

To make matters worse, more of New York City’s police officers are reportedly rushing to leave their jobs as crime bears down on citizens, according to a Breitbart News article published in July 2023.


THE DEPRAVED GHETTO BLACK CULTURE IN AMERICA  - Is it the world’s most violent subculture?

Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites

So, we have local black gang associates posting terror threats on social media -- threats of murder, by burning, directed at the women and children family members of white police employees -- immediately before the murder, by burning, of the white teenage daughter of a local police department employee. Plus, the killing took place only minutes after the victim was seen on video at the same location as the husband or boyfriend of the person who posted the threats, as he was filling a handheld can with gasoline.

 

Man caught on camera accosting a Las Vegas judge in court is sentenced in an unrelated attack

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The same judge accosted by a defendant in a Las Vegas courtroom last week sentenced her attacker Monday to up to four years in prison in an unrelated case.

Deobra Delone Redden leapt over the bench and attacked Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus in her courtroom last week after trying to convince the judge he was turning around his violent past.

The sentence handed down Monday was in connection with a baseball bat attack on a person last year. Redden stood in court in shackles with a mask on his face and orange mitts on his hands, flanked by a group of jail officers. His lawyer, Caesar Almase, declined to comment outside the courtroom. In the attack last week, Redden had to be wrestled off the judge by several court and jail officers and courtroom staff members — including some who were seen throwing punches. One courtroom marshal was hospitalized for treatment of a bleeding gash on his forehead and a dislocated shoulder. Redden launched himself at the judge just after asking for leniency and describing himself as “a person who never stops trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it is.”

When it became clear Holthus was going to sentence him to prison time, the court marshal moved to handcuff Redden and take him into custody. That's when the defendant started yelling expletives and charged forward as people in the courtroom audience began to scream.

Redden vaulted a defense table, dove over the judge’s bench and landed atop Holthus. The video showed the judge falling back against a wall and an American flag toppling on them.

Redden “supermanned over the judicial bench,” Jerry Wiese, the court’s chief judge, said in describing the event.

Holthus suffered some injuries but was back to work the next day.

Wiese credited court clerk Michael Lasso for acting quickly to protect the judge, saying he was the “primary person” who pulled Redden off “and probably kept her from having more severe injuries.”

Philly’s New Democrat Mayor Promises a Tough-On-Crime Administration

As many Democrat-run cities are being ravaged due to soft-on-crime policies, new Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker is poised to bring a harsh crackdown on crime after taking office on the first day of the new year.

The New York Post reports that one of Parker’s first steps after becoming mayor was to sign an executive order on January 2, which declared public safety in Philadelphia to be an emergency. “I want the world to know that I am fully committed to ending this sense of lawlessness and bringing order back to our city and a sense of lawfulness,” the mayor declared.

Despite being a Democrat, Parker has been a proponent of “stop and frisk” police tactics and has promised sweeping measures in order to address the causes of major crime in Philadelphia. These involve getting “every available resource into the neighborhoods struggling from the scourges of crime, gun violence, drugs and addiction,” and “permanently shut down all pervasive open-air drug markets.” Parker also dismissed those who characterized her approach as “too aggressive,” noting that it was of greater concern that Philadelphia residents might have a “loved one on the streets openly using intravenous drugs.”

At the same time as Parker is pursuing a tough stance on crime, at least one local official promoting radical-left ideology has been removed from the government payroll. Leslie Marant, a DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) official with the Philadelphia Police Department, lost her job just before Parker was sworn in as mayor. Marant, who was paid a salary of $170,569, had no law enforcement experience when she was hired. The Philadelphia Police Department did not comment on why she was removed from the position, but it appears as though they may eventually hire a replacement.

Remarkably, it seems that at least one Democratic politician is looking to take meaningful action to stem the burgeoning crime in one of America’s major cities.


Crime Killed a Quarter of a Million Black People.

And the racist pro-crime Left wants more.

April 14, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield 20 Comments

 

 

Over the last decade, BLM, and assorted leftist and libertarian groups dismantled our criminal justice system. Police forces were defunded, pro-crime prosecutors refused to lock up criminals, federal and state prison systems released tens of thousands of them, and a wave of legislative decriminalization legalized everything from shoplifting, to drug dealing and mugging.

The pro-crime policymaking that eliminated public safety and cost over 3,000 lives in 2020 alone was done under the guise of fighting racism. Statistics which showed that black people were more likely to be arrested, imprisoned or shot during criminal encounters with police were used to spread conspiracy theories falsely accusing the criminal justice system of systemic racism.

What all of these racist conspiracy theories popularized by politicians, the media, and the entertainment industry ignored was that black people were also far more likely to be crime victims. Even as the BLM riots got underway, black people in surveys were strongly opposed to police defunding. The opposition was so vehement that Democrats not only abandoned the issue, but claimed that they had always been opposed to it and ran against their own position.

Despite years of false claims portraying black people as victims of a biased criminal justice system whose police forces are descended from “slave catchers” who repress minorities at the behest of white suburbanites, surveys of black people continue to tell a very different story.

A Pew survey found that while only 33% of white Democrats wanted to reduce crime, 63% of Hispanics and 66% of black people thought that fighting crime should be a priority.

And that’s nothing new.

Leftists and libertarians lied that the War on Drugs was racist when it was actually pushed by black groups, including the NAACP, which demanded the death penalty for drug dealers.

That same Pew survey showed that while only 38% of white Dems answered that reducing the availability of illegal drugs should be a priority, 57% of Hispanics and 60% of black people believed that it should be.

Now a Kaiser Family Foundation survey shows that black people are far more likely to suffer from crime than white people. The survey, meant to generate support for unconstitutional gun ban measures, instead unintentionally demonstrated that crime hurts black people more.

The KFF survey noted that “three in ten black adults (31%) have personally witnessed someone being shot”, “one-third of black adults (34%) have a family member who was killed by a gun” and (32%) say that they worry all the time about themselves or a family member being shot.

One in six of black adults say they don’t feel “safe at all” from gun violence in their neighborhood, compared to 2% of white adults. 1 in 4 also bought a gun to protect themselves.

Gun violence is just another way of saying crime.

Black people are disproportionately affected by crime. Pro-crime policies led to the deaths of an additional 2,244 black people in 2020. According to a Johns Hopkins report, “in 2020, one out of every 1,000 young black males (15–34) was shot and killed” and, “more than half of all black teens (15–19) who died in 2020—a staggering 52%—were killed by gun violence.”

CDC numbers showed that homicide is a leading cause of death among black men under the age of 20, and from the ages of 20 to 44. White men are killed by guns at the rate of 3.15 per 100,000 while black men die at the rate of 48.16 per 100,000. Pro-crime policies increase crime and kill thousands of black people. That’s what a real disproportionate impact looks like.

Every time pro-crime politicians free criminals, pro-crime prosecutors refuse to prosecute violent offenders, and legislatures eliminate bail, the impact is felt most strongly in the black community.

Law enforcement isn’t racist, but getting rid of it is. When a community depends more on a particular service, losing it has a clear disproportionate impact. Keeping the peace, arresting offenders and dispensing justice is one of the few primal duties of government. The breach in the social contract when the government fails to provide peacekeeping services is devastating.

Most crimes are committed by repeat offenders. The only way to interrupt the cycle of violence is to lock them up. Successful tough on crime policies in the 90s made cities safe once again and led to an economic boom in inner cities. Manhattan’s Harlem went from a danger zone to hosting Bill Clinton’s office, but in 2022, crime increased 44%. The Clinton offices have mostly moved down to the Wall Street area, but where they remain in Central Harlem, crime is up 32%. Next door in West Harlem, it’s up 133%. That means Bill is less likely to tour the Apollo Theater, but it also means that the mostly black residents are the ones feeling the worst of it.

Pro-crime activists have spent years regaling us with the suffering of convicts while caring very little about the shattered lives they have left in their wake. Foundations, protest groups, activist organizations and even PACs have spent hundreds of millions lobbying for criminals, fighting for their release and remaking our system to favor perpetrators, not victims. Their political success has come with a very high cost. And much of that burden has fallen on black people.

It is hard to think of any single policy in the last generation that has done more harm to black people or claimed more lives than the pro-crime agenda. Pro-crime activists have falsely claimed that police shootings of black men are a form of genocide. They’re not. Crime is.

One study counted 286,075 firearm deaths among black people from 1990 to 2021. That’s over a quarter of a million deaths. Some of them are due to suicide, but suicides are much lower among black people than white people, and the majority of black gun deaths were homicides.

And seeing a quarter of a million deaths, the pro-crime Left wants even more bodies.

Those quarter of a million deaths have been largely self-inflicted, but, much as with the welfare state, they were aided and abetted by white liberal policymakers who had come to believe that what the black community really needed was for the government to enable its criminals.

Racist liberal condescension continues to destroy black communities, families and lives.

2020 demonstrated that tough on crime policies can save thousands of black lives and, over time, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of black lives. Pro-crime policies are a racist disaster which reduced black people to criminals and then set out to free criminals to help black people.

That’s why 1 out of  every 1,000 young black men are dead.

Pro-crime policies are racist. They enable a crime epidemic that has killed more black people than the total number of battlefield casualties for all races in the Civil War. More black people died in the year of Black Lives Matter than our entire death toll in the Iraq War.

Can it get worse than this? In 1991, 12,226 black people were murdered. For the first time, more black people were killed than white people. The numbers are trending that way once again. While the Left claims that highways and dress codes are systemically racist, their pro-crime policies are a racist program that promises liberation but offers only mass death.

Louisiana Police Chief and His Captain Wife Allegedly Shot by His Deputy Mistress

A Louisiana police chief and his wife, who is a police captain, were both allegedly shot by the chief’s mistress, who is also a police officer, after the chief’s wife confronted the affair partners.

Opelousas Police Chief Graig LeBlanc and his wife, St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Captain Crystal LeBlanc, were wounded outside Opelousas Officer Savannah Butler’s house on December 22, according to the sheriff’s office.


Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz reported that Butler surrendered to the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office on New Year’s Day and was booked on two counts of negligent injury, one count of obstruction of justice, and one count of illegal discharge of a firearm. 

“The investigation revealed that LeBlanc and his wife were shot at Butler’s home on Garnet Drive just outside the city limits of Opelousas,” Guidroz said in a statement posted to Facebook, detailing how “Crystal LeBlanc went to Garnet Drive to speak to her husband who was inside Butler’s home,” prompting an argument between the married couple.

“Butler then entered the doorway armed with a gun. When Chief LeBlanc put his hand out in front of the weapon to retrieve the gun, he was shot in the hand,” the sheriff said. “The bullet then traveled through the chief’s hand and hit his wife Crystal in the arm.”

Police said that both shooting victims admitted themselves to local hospitals to be treated for their injuries. 

According to Guidroz, the subsequent investigation “revealed that Savannah Butler cleaned up the scene to cover up evidence prior to notifying the Sheriff’s Office, which constituted the charge of Obstruction of Justice.”

Detectives also found probable cause to issue a trespassing summons for Crystal LeBlanc for entering Butler’s property. 

“Both Captain LeBlanc and Officer Butler were placed on administrative leave by their respective agencies pending the completion of the investigation,” Guidroz noted. “Opelousas Police Chief Graig LeBlanc faces no pending charges at this time. The investigation is still ongoing.”

Butler was released from jail after posting a bond of $22,000. 

Graig LeBlanc, who has been with the Opelousas Police Department since 1998, according to the New York Post, expressed his “sincere apologies” to everyone involved on Wednesday.

“My actions have caused pain and distress, not only to my family but also to our community,” the Opelousas Police Chief wrote in a statement posted by the department:

I must acknowledge the role I played in this unfortunate situation. I have failed in my commitment to uphold the standards expected of the Chief of Police and, more importantly, failed the trust you have placed in me. Infidelity is a breach of not only the personal commitments I made but also the professional standards we all expect from those in public service.

It is unclear when the affair between the chief and his subordinate began, but it is known that Chief LeBlanc had hired Butler to work under him before the affair began, according to the Daily Mail.

The police chief said he will be cooperating with any investigations stemming from the situation and is additionally initiating an “internal review” himself.

Graig LeBlanc has only been chief of the Opelousas Police Department since January 2023.

He has been married to his wife since 2004, and they share two children.
