BLACK SERIAL KILLERS AND THE BLACK CRIME TIDAL WAVE IN AMERICA - Black crime is more random, more violent, and more vicious. Somehow, morbid rap, twerking, and cop hatred has become ritualized as authentic black culture. WILL ALEXANDER

BUT YOUR WOKE FASCISM AWAY AND LOOK AT THE FACTS HEAD ON!!! CRIME IN AMERICA IS BLACK!

The question is, why is this happening? What has caused an increasing number of black Americans to believe they can rob, beat, and even kill their fellow citizens with impunity?

We see large groups of young people blitzing stores, grabbing merchandise off shelves, and running out with smiles on their faces. We see “shoplifters” methodically clear store shelves of merchandise and simply stroll out the door, unconcerned about getting stopped or arrested and often assaulting employees along the way.

“Crime continues to be an overriding issue for New Yorkers. At least 90 percent of voters from every party, region and race say crime is a serious problem in the state, with at least 57 percent saying it’s a very serious problem, including 79 percent of Black voters who say it’s a very serious problem,” Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said.

In America, former president but lifelong Marxist Barack Obama can slander proponents of secure borders as racists, and nobody bats an eye.  Babbling Vice President Harris can promise to disburse federal funds for victims of Hurricane Ian based on Americans' skin color, and corporate news talking heads applaud. 


STUDIES INDICATE THAT BLACK MEN ARE 15's to 30's MORE LIKELY TO PERPETRATED CRIME WHEN COMMITTING A CRIME THAN WHITE MEN.

By 2010, 30% of serial killers were white, 59% were black, and Hispanic and Asian serial killers were making inroads in a tribute to the nation’s newfound diversity.

Democrats Used A Massive Race Hoax To Gain Power

By Kathleen Brush

 

For two years, a U.S. presidential administration has perpetrated a

 racial hoax. Teamed up with Black Lives Matter (BLM), an

 unscrupulous, failedcorrupt organization that promotes violence,

 Americans have been duped by the world’s largest racial hoax.

“Black Lives Matter” has been used to indoctrinate children, scatter anti-racist eggshells around every workplace, and threaten people’s jobs, livelihoods, and their lives.   Under the banner of Black Lives Matter, “protesters” have wrecked restaurants, businesses, government buildings, public monuments, and homes.  It’s given race hustlers a license to ruin sports, ruin entertainment, ruin business, ruin commercials, ruin the military, ruin law enforcement, and ruin race relations.   Black Lives Matter has been emblazoned on T-Shirts and all sorts of paraphernalia.  It’s been painted on streets, painted on pro football fields and basketball courts.  It’s been used to rewrite history, topple statues, rename schools and pro sports teams; and its flag has been flown at stores, in classrooms, over government buildings, even over embassies around the globe.

BLM is a perfect instance of how modern liberalism functions as an extremely lucrative business model.  BLM merely expanded on the extortion business model of veteran race hustler Al Sharpton, which is ‘give us your money else we’ll brand you racist,’ but did it on a much larger scale.  Al Sharpton must feel like a worn-out pair of shoes in the bottom drawer of a shoe case.

As imaginary grievances loop inside their brains, the problems in lagging black communities have become so severe that they’re spilling out everywhere.  It’s obvious.  Black crime is more random, more violent, and more vicious.  There are more black fathers on TV commercials than in some neighborhoods.  And somehow, morbid rap, twerking, and cop hatred has become ritualized as authentic black culture. WILL ALEXANDER

There also seems to be a racial element to this new crime wave, with black perpetrators targeting a disproportionate number of White or Asian victims. Make no mistake, though. Now, as always, the single largest group of victims of this crime wave is black citizens. The question is, why is this happening? What has caused an increasing number of black Americans to believe they can rob, beat, and even kill their fellow citizens with impunity?                                                                      VINCE COYNER

The Current Crime Wave Is Unlike Any Ever Experienced In America

This past week New Orleans reclaimed the title of America’s deadliest city after seeing murders jump 141% over the last couple of years. In New Orleans, the murder rate is a staggering 52 per 100,000 people. That compares to the national average of 6.9, the highest it’s been in a quarter century, and the 50 per 100,000 in Venezuela, the most dangerous country in the world.


Serial Killers Are Too White

But equity and diversity are helping minority serial killers make strides.

Netflix’s new Jeffrey Dahmer movie is revisiting stereotypes of serial killers as white men. The FBI however informs us that, “Contrary to popular belief, serial killers span all racial groups. There are white, African-American, Hispanic, and Asian serial killers. The racial diversification of serial killers generally mirrors that of the overall U.S. population.” We’ve come a long way, baby.

It’s been a long road toward equity and diversity in serial killing. Radford University’s serial killer database reveals that in 1900, a less diverse time, 72.9% of serial killers were white, while only 25% were black and none were Asian or Hispanic. By 1970, progressive forces were making inroads in our society so that only 60% of serial killers were white and 33% were black. Hispanic serial killers, long overlooked, became a serious presence in 1950 when they hit the murder charts at 2.8% and in a massive win for civil rights made it all the way up to 11% in 2000.

By 2010, 30% of serial killers were white, 59% were black, and Hispanic and Asian serial killers were making inroads in a tribute to the nation’s newfound diversity.

Progress for female serial killers has proven to be more elusive. Female serial killers hit an all-time high in the early 20th century with women accounting for a third of serial killers. Sadly the proliferation of serial killings increasingly made murder a a male-dominated field. While in 1900, there were 36 male serial killers to 13 female serial killers, by 2010 there were 110 male serial killers to 7 female serial killers. Even while feminism was moving forward, the number of female serial killers had actually declined in the face of aggressive male competition.

There is no question that serial killers of all races and ages have made enormous strides. The typical stereotype of a white male serial killer in his twenties represents only 7% of the serial killers between 1990 and 2016. That progress shows how far America has come since 1900.

Serial killer diversity has increased so that, as the FBI puts it, killers mirror the diversity of America, nonetheless the representation of serial killers both real and fictional lags behind.

While Jeffrey Dahmer, a white male, has been the subject of numerous movies, like DahmerRaising Jeffrey Dahmer and My Friend Dahmer, Carl Eugene Watts, a black serial killer nicknamed the Sunday Morning Slasher, remains largely unknown. Charles Ng, a Kim Jong-Un lookalike, who ran a sex dungeon where numerous women were kidnapped, tortured and killed, has no movies to his name. That shows us how far we have yet to go to fulfill our ideals.

“When you’re a white man, even an incomprehensible, horrific act will not only afford you the benefit of the doubt and an endless amount of excuses but maybe even glorify you to the point of someone making a multimillion-dollar, two-hour-long movie dedicated to unpacking your neuroses,” Teen Vogue complains.

Hollywood isn’t interested in a full representation of serial killing diversity because it’s racist.

White men like Dahmer can kill 17 people and become famous while Watts, who may have totaled 100 victims, can’t get a Hollywood agent to return his phone calls. And not just because he died in Jackson, Michigan in 2007. (Although that probably doesn’t help.)

Ángel Maturino Reséndiz, the Railroad Killer, who offed almost as many as Dahmer, and who had been deported four times to Mexico, is obscure despite the opportunity that his case presents for showing the contribution that illegal aliens continue to make to this country.

“Beneath the veneer of order, purity and casual disassociation there is a raging libido all the more terrible because whites are so emotionally, physically, viscerally out of touch with it,” Richard Dyer, formerly of Marxism Today, writes. “Serial killing must have something to do with whiteness.”

The over-representation of white serial killers makes sense from this perspective as a demonstration of white evil. A white school shooter is bound to spend a year on the evening news while gang members racking up 5 times his total over one month in Chicago are overlooked. To permit the representation of non-white male serial killers threatens the entire cultural and political hegemony of the progressive cause which is based on combatting whiteness. If anyone can be evil, that raises the possibility that the Left can also be evil.

The cultural response to Netflix’s Dahmer movie has been on the role of the cannibalistic serial killer as a stand-in for all white people.

“I’m Done Watching True Crime Romanticizing White People,” reacted Veronica Wells-Puoane at The Daily Beast. “It’s a choice that aligns with my decade-long practice of limiting my interactions with white people as much as possible.”

“Black queer Milwaukeeans on Netflix’s Jeffrey Dahmer series: ‘How dare you?'” an NBC News headline screams.

Invoking the white serial killer is a pretext for such racist tantrums. That is why they command such a disproportionate amount of attention. As symbols and metaphors, Dahmer, Bundy, and Gacy, occasion sweeping racial responses that would be unacceptable if they were directed at O.J. Simpson or an MS-13 gang. The ideal celebrity serial killer is not only a white male, but ordinary, outwardly polite, and well behaved. He is there to suggest that underneath western civilization, its manners and order, is an endless horror that we choose to be unaware of.

It is the same racist argument as the one put forward by Ibram X. Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates and countless critical race theory campaigners, but wrapped in the chewiness of true crime.

In the real world, few crimes are committed by career serial killers. Most are carried out by random street criminals. And these crimes are concentrated in diverse urban areas, away from the pleasant suburban streets where the media’s favorite serial killers, real or fictional, roam.

Those are the uncomfortable truths that true crime is designed to divert us from. Fictional mysteries set in quaint English villages where the killer is the elderly granny you least suspect are a magician’s sleight of hand diverting audiences from the acid attacks and stabbings, not to mention the grooming gangs, of London and Manchester. American true crime is just as determined to miss the forest for the trees, but it damningly uses the tree to create the illusion of a forest. A school shooter or a basement serial killer becomes a national obsession and a metaphor for the country’s real problems which always involve white evil, not crime statistics.

So far 2,865 people have been shot in Chicago this year. 559 of them are dead. These are the numbers you would expect from a war. In the face of such hard truths, racial escapism to a world where the thing to worry about is that the nice white boy next door is really a gay cannibal is a pleasant interlude. A little diversity among the ranks of serial killers would interrupt this fantasy. It would also raise difficult questions about the entire progressive program of blaming the nation’s varied ills on whiteness, white people and white men. Just call it the equity of evil.

Suspect arrested in apparent Stockton serial killings

·2 min read

A suspect was arrested Saturday in connection to the six unprovoked murders of men ages 21 to 54 over the last few months, the Stockton Police Department said.

The Stockton Police Department announced that Wesley Brownlee, 43, was booked on a homicide charge Saturday. Police said that surveillance teams followed Brownlee while he was driving, and stopped in area of Village Green Drive and Winslow Avenue around 2 a.m. Saturday morning.

"Our surveillance team followed this person while he was driving. We watched his patterns and determined early this morning; he was on a mission to kill. He was out hunting," Chief Stanley McFadden said at a news conference Saturday.

McFadden added, "As officers made contact with him, he was wearing dark clothing and a mask around his neck. He was also armed with a firearm when he was taken into custody. We are sure we stopped another killing."

Brown will be arraigned Tuesday and more charges are likely, police said.

The San Joaquin County's Office of the Medical Examiner identified the victims. Paul Yaw, 35, was killed on July 8; Salvador Debudey Jr., 43, died on Aug. 11; Jonathan Hernandez Rodriguez, 21, was killed on Aug. 30; Juan Cruz, 52, was the Sept. 21 victim; and Lawrence Lopez Sr., 54, was slain on Sept. 27.

The men who were alone at the time when they were fatally shot and all of the killings took place at night or in the early morning hours, police said.

Another shooting, of a 46-year-old Black woman at Park Street and Union Street in Stockton at 3:20 a.m. on April 16, 2021, was also linked to the investigation, police said earlier this month. The woman survived her injuries in that shooting, they said.

Police said that a motive is not known for the killings but it is believed to have been intentional.

ABC News' Mark Osborne and Emily Shapiro contributed to this report.

The Current Crime Wave Is Unlike Any Ever Experienced In America

This past week New Orleans reclaimed the title of America’s deadliest city after seeing murders jump 141% over the last couple of years. In New Orleans, the murder rate is a staggering 52 per 100,000 people. That compares to the national average of 6.9, the highest it’s been in a quarter century, and the 50 per 100,000 in Venezuela, the most dangerous country in the world.

If New Orleans were an outlier, it would be a shame; the fact that it’s not is a tragedy. Instead, New York, Chicago, Portland, LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and other American cities are part of the club. Crime has been up across America over the last two years, in most cases dramatically.

We’ve always had crime in America—such is the price of freedom—but what we are experiencing today is something altogether different. It’s not just crime. America can sometimes be a dangerous place. Everyone knows working the midnight shift at a convenience store is riskier than working the day shift at your local library, just as common sense tells you the odds of getting into a fight in a bar on a Saturday night are far higher than at church on Sunday morning.

And to be clear, this is not Antifa thugs and BLM cultists burning down cities. Protest, even violent protest, has been part of American history since its founding and is mainly event-driven, like Shay’s Rebellion, the Vietnam War protests, the riots after MLK’s assassination, or the acquittal of the police in the Rodney King video.

No, this is something different. It’s one thing to rage against the machine; it’s another to commit violence against citizens, particularly when they are unsuspecting innocents or compliant victims. This is today’s issue, which we see taking place across the county, from urban jungles like New York City to Midwestern communities like Salt Lake City.

What America’s experiencing today is exponentially worse than the typical crime that America is used to—and the truth is, young Black men and, increasingly, young Black women are perpetuating most, although far from all, of it.

Violence is not only going to a new level in terms of frequency but also its locales. It’s no longer limited to dark corners or deserted parking lots. It now occurs in the middle of the regular hustle and bustle of Americans’ daily lives. It’s taking place in broad daylight, in full view of video cameras—often with others videoing the carnage to share on social media. Violent crime occurs on Main Street USA, in schools, drugstores, fast food restaurants, subway platforms, high-end retail stores and, of course, homes.

We see large groups of young people blitzing stores, grabbing merchandise off shelves, and running out with smiles on their faces. We see “shoplifters” methodically clear store shelves of merchandise and simply stroll out the door, unconcerned about getting stopped or arrested and often assaulting employees along the way.

Moreover, an element of violence seems unprecedented in its scale. Almost daily, we see random innocent people on subways or stairs or in restaurants getting shoved, kicked, or punched. We see fast food workers attacked as customers come over or around counters and spark mayhem. We see bus drivers attacked, shop owners beaten, and cops spat upon. Indeed we see countless instances where robbers beat or shoot victims even after taking whatever they were after. We also read daily of innocents of all ages killed in the crossfire while sleeping in their beds, standing in a bar, or sitting in their cars.

There also seems to be a racial element to this new crime wave, with black perpetrators targeting a disproportionate number of White or Asian victims. Make no mistake, though. Now, as always, the single largest group of victims of this crime wave is black citizens.

The question is, why is this happening? What has caused an increasing number of black Americans to believe they can rob, beat, and even kill their fellow citizens with impunity?

No doubt, there are countless contributing factors, from missing fathers to failing schools to social media, but those problems (at least the first two) have existed for quite some time. No, the reason for the sharp jump in violent crime and unhinged behavior on the part of large numbers of primarily young Black Americans is the Democrat proposition that everything bad that happens to Blacks results from racism. As such, Blacks are not responsible for their choices. Therefore, they should not be held accountable for their actions.

Ronald Reagan once said, “If you want more of something, subsidize it.” That is precisely what the Democrats have been doing with violent crime. While they are not yet directly paying criminals to attack their fellow citizens and rob local businesses, they are subsidizing crime nonetheless.

On the one hand, George Soros-backed Democrat prosecutors from coast to coast are demonstrating their pro-criminal empowerment bona fides by refusing to seek bail for most arrestees, refusing to prosecute countless misdemeanors, and simultaneously undercharging countless violent crimes as said misdemeanors. On the other hand, you have Democrats effectively decriminalizing an entire swath of crimes or eliminating bail for almost every offense.

Indeed, the lunatics running Illinois have just passed a law that eliminates bail for virtually every offense below 1st-degree murder and prohibits police from arresting or removing trespassers caught in the act while burglarizing a home or business. That means that, if someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night and you call the police, first, you’ll be lucky, given the Democrat “Defund the police movement” if police respond while the trespasser is still there and, second, police are literally no longer allowed to remove them from your home.

All of this is happening exactly when America’s cultural and political elites are telling young Black Americans that the system is rigged against them; that they’re incapable of succeeding when playing by the rules; that most white people hate them; and that, if they break the law, there are no consequences to be had. That is literally a recipe for societal collapse.

Today in Democrat-run America, only the criminals’ rights matter, never the victims…and the fact is that most of the victims of this American renaissance of violence are, in fact, Black Americans. That is, the new rules victimize the very people about whom Democrats pretend to care.

To accumulate power, Democrats have leveraged the fictions of “systemic racism” and millions of “White supremacists” running wild, and Americans of all races are paying the price. But this is exactly what happens when politicians pursue policies of balkanization and victimization, setting groups of Americans against one another to achieve power. The Democrats and their grifter partners thrive, while all of America’s citizens suffer.

America was founded on the principle that all men were created equal in the eyes of God and in the laws of man. While the execution of those truths has been imperfect from the beginning, it has consistently improved for over 200 years, bringing Americans freedom and prosperity unmatched in human history. Those benefits include black Americans, who make up fully 8% of American millionaires.

In just half a generation, Democrats have undone 200 years of progress and created a violent cage match between demographics in the public square. The result has been a body blow to civil society, mayhem in cities, and blood on the streets (most of it Black). Yet somehow, Black America continues to vote Democrat in Stalin-like numbers. Perhaps they should reconsider..

Kanye West: ‘Just a Black Man Stating the Obvious’

What planet do Kanye's haters live on?

Of the torrent of comments Kanye “Ye” West received in the days after he and Candace Owens sported “White Lives Matter” shirts to his Paris fashion show, the one that gave him the warmest chuckle came from his father, a former Black Panther.  “Just a black man stating the obvious,” he told Tucker Carlson, quoting his dad.

Most of us got it.

“Black Lives Matter” has been used to indoctrinate children, scatter anti-racist eggshells around every workplace, and threaten people’s jobs, livelihoods, and their lives.   Under the banner of Black Lives Matter, “protesters” have wrecked restaurants, businesses, government buildings, public monuments, and homes.  It’s given race hustlers a license to ruin sports, ruin entertainment, ruin business, ruin commercials, ruin the military, ruin law enforcement, and ruin race relations.   Black Lives Matter has been emblazoned on T-Shirts and all sorts of paraphernalia.  It’s been painted on streets, painted on pro football fields and basketball courts.  It’s been used to rewrite history, topple statues, rename schools and pro sports teams; and its flag has been flown at stores, in classrooms, over government buildings, even over embassies around the globe.

Wearing a shirt that reads “White Lives Matter” made the obvious statement that it’s all been a bit much. It was long overdue, but not nearly enough to shift things back into balance.

Yet, after all we now know about the corruption of the Black Lives Matter organization, and the movement’s exaggerated grievances (even Sharon Osborne asked for her $900,000 back), the celebrity class inside the squeaky cancel culture machinery called what West did “offensive,” “dangerous,” “pure violence,” and “indefensible behavior.”

Some of the worst attacks came from rich, black celebrities who are expected to publicly whip one of their strays.  Blinded by the limelight, by accolades from the “equity” industry, and by an extreme fear of being labeled as sellouts, these celebrities enslave themselves to a black metaverse that is completely detached from reality.

Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, with a net worth around $1.25 million, called it “hugely irresponsible,” and wrote, there was “no art here.”

“It didn’t land and it was deeply offensive, violent, and dangerous,” Karefa-Johnson tweeted.

Temple University professor Lamont Hill, net worth around $1 million, called West’s decision to wear the shirt “disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible.”

Author Jemele Hill, net worth about $4 million, called West’s shirt-wearing a “dangerously dumb message to send for someone with his massive platform.”

Van Lathan, a producer and media personality with a net worth of about $1.5 million, tweeted that the slogan was a “white supremacist notion.”

“We don’t need a reminder of the worth of white lives,” Lathan wrote.  “America is a shrine to the worth of white people. … The notion that it ALWAYS has to be about white people in America is incredibly frustrating, emotionally draining, and the whole problem.”

Writer Meecham Meriweather, with a net worth approaching $1 million, wrote that Kanye “doesn’t care about the black community,” something West blurted about George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina.

Jaden Smith, Will’s son, net worth around $8 million, attended the show and walked out early, and later tweeted three words: “Black Lives Matter,” a tweet that rewarded him with tens of thousands of retweets and a quarter of million “likes,” among them Kendall Jenner.

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, net worth approaching $1 billion, expressed reluctance to address “everything in the world that’s going on,” but was compelled to post an Instagram video about West’s shirt to his 19 million followers.

“Right now, all America has planned for us is poverty, incarceration, and death,” he said.  “So, before I could get to any other lives matter, which all lives matter … that black lives matter, don’t play with it.   Don’t wear the shirt.  Don’t buy the shirt.  Don’t play with the shirt.  It’s not a joke.”

What planet do these people live on?

As imaginary grievances loop inside their brains, the problems in lagging black communities have become so severe that they’re spilling out everywhere.  It’s obvious.  Black crime is more random, more violent, and more vicious.  There are more black fathers on TV commercials than in some neighborhoods.  And somehow, morbid rap, twerking, and cop hatred has become ritualized as authentic black culture.

It’s not enough that these people choose to lie incessantly about the things we see right in front of our faces, but they use ridicule, ostracism, even violence to pressure others to lie, too.

“[People with influence] have people that around them at all times, telling them what to be afraid of,” West told Carlson. “I think I started to really feel this need to express myself on another level when Trump was running for office and I liked him.  My so-called friends-slash-handlers around me told me if I said that I liked Trump that my career would be over, that my life would be over.  They said stuff like, ‘People get killed for wearing a hat like that.’ They threatened my life.  They basically said that I would be I killed for wearing the hat.”

West said he got a call the night before Tucker’s interview from someone who threatened that anyone wearing a White Lives Matter shirt would be “greenlit” – a prison term that refers to “shanking” a person in the shower so he bleeds out before guards even notice he’s missing.

West, worth $6.6 billion according to Bloomberg, has said a lot of dumb stuff over the years, but somewhere between Hurricanes Katrina and Ian, he’s become more sensible – more determined to say the obvious at a time when his critics are more determined to ignore it.  It’s refreshing.

For this, if nothing else, West deserves great credit – although, in the grand scheme of things in America since 2020, the gesture was more “too little, too late” than “better late than never,” especially for people who’ve literally died because of this stuff.

And at a time when so many obvious things are being lied about – border security, defunding the police, climate change, COVID-19, vaccine injuries, “the most secure election in American history,” men have babies, zero inflation, and “abortion is a woman’s reproductive rights,” – we’re going to need a whole lot more than “just a black man stating the obvious” to un-ring these bells.

Corporate Safety in Cities: Some Get it, Some Don’t

Prior to the George Floyd incident, the thought of safety would rarely have occurred when executives visit a company as part of the vetting process for both sides. Clearly, the concern for safety has changed in many cities.  My wife and I use to do date nights to Minneapolis Uptown area on a monthly basis, but the George Floyd riots changed this part of Minneapolis permanently. Buildings are still boarded up and many of the restaurants we frequented are no longer around. The primary reason we now stay clear of many parts of Minneapolis is that we don’t feel safe.  Murder rates are at all-time historic highs and all other crimes are way up.  Historic police exodus in Minneapolis and other cities impacted by racial justice unrest and Minneapolis identifying as a sanctuary city with a large influx of illegal immigrants, has only exasperated the problem of increased crime. 

Looking at cities that are hot spots for crime (Chicago, New Orleans, and New York City), we questioned three financial services firms on whether they are concerned for the safety of financial advisors that visit their home office and whether they intend on relocating their home office due to high crime rates.  These due-diligence visits consist of a dinner out with management and a day of meetings the next day.  We asked a recruiter of a firm in New Orleans about their concerns.  Their response was:

“There is no plan to change our home office location.  Like other major cities across the country there are always challenges for safety and we take that very seriously.  When scheduling HOV’s with prospective advisors, we book our advisors at 4–5-star hotels that are located in safe areas nearby our office as well as schedule private transportation between the airport & hotel, holding dinner at highly regarded restaurants.” 

Midway through 2022, New Orleans leads the nation in murders.  As much as this firm may try to protect visiting prospects, they can’t prevent candidates from wanting to venture out and explore the French Quarter after dinner, in which case, all safety assurances are off.  This is problematic in many cities, requiring you to figure out where’s the decreasing number of safe places where you can let your guard down. 

We asked the CEO of a Chicago firm the same questions and his response was,

“Our home office is located in the West Loop area of Chicago which is very vibrant, growing, hip and safe area of the city.  We have had zero issues with crime or anything even close to it.  Our home office employees enjoy coming to the office.  So no, we have no intention of moving the home office.  If anything, we are looking to expand here in downtown Chicago.”

Normalcy bias aside, according to Niche, the issues with crime in the West Loop year to date July 2022 are not zero but rather their statistics show this:

Crime in Chicago is enough of an issue that many corporations have left including:

Boeing

Citadel

Caterpillar

Aldi’s

Whole Foods

The CEO of McDonalds has recently sounded the alarm, saying, "The rising crime is hurting his ability to recruit quality executive candidates.”  The number of safe neighborhoods is decreasing as high crime areas expand.  The Magnificent Mile and the North side,  which use to be safe places to shop at high-end stores or see a Cub game, have had their perception of safety ripped away with most all categories of crime increasing dramatically.     

For New Yorkers, crime has had a prolonged upswing, but has amplified since the George Floyd riots with YTD July 2022 stats the following:

Robbery +37.2%

Felony Assault +17.8%

Grand Larceny +40.6%

Felonies +29%

In a discussion with a recruiter for a firm based in New York City, the conversation was frank and direct.  He explained,

“If I were an advisor, I wouldn’t visit New York.  It’s not safe!  Rent/Lease prices are still crazy high and you don’t see anyone around so we have plans to move our office to another borough and then eventually go to Florida.”

Moving from New York City to Florida is a common trend for finance-related firms such as Goldman Sachs, Citadel, Arch Investments, and Blackstone that have made the move to Florida for less crime, better climate, lower taxes, and no draconian COVID regulations and mismanagement of those regulations.

What are your options regarding corporate visits and safety?  During COVID, firms did virtual tours and Zoom calls as an alternative to in-person visits.  The increased issue with flight delays and cancelations has further taken the shine off in person visits so doing a Zoom call with the departments that matter to you is a viable alternative.  If you choose to do an in-person visit at a company that is located in a higher-crime city, avoiding venturing outside the safety of your hotel after dinner would be most prudent.

If you do venture out, take the advice that the Los Angeles Police Department is now giving residents in Los Angeles, which is to not wear high-end jewelry in public or expensive clothing that draws attention to you.  Expensive watches can be especially risky to wear.

We’ve always been proponents of in-person visits because meeting people in person, seeing the facility, and eating a meal with management brings things to the surface you don’t get on a Zoom call. Unfortunately, as the ‘rule of law’ is increasingly suppressed in the name of equality, many cities are shifting from centers of commerce to centers of chaos.  Because of this trend, you can’t assume safety as we once did in urban locations.

 AMERICA'S BLACKS: THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD


Police: Chicago Woman Accused of Dismembering Landlord with Butcher Knives

3:04

A Chicago woman is accused of murdering her landlord, whose body was found dismembered on Monday as crime continues plaguing the nation.

The remains were eventually found inside the home’s freezer, CWB Chicago reported Wednesday.

Thirty-six-year-old Sandra Kolalou is charged with first-degree murder, concealing a homicidal death, and misdemeanor aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after Chicago law enforcement said she “participated in the murder” of 69-year-old Frances Walker, the outlet stated.

Officers found the suspect once she left the elderly woman’s home, located on North Washtenaw, where she was in a hired tow truck.

The driver transported Kolalou to Foster Beach where the woman was accused of putting a large bag in a garbage can, according to WGN News.

Officers immediately went to the scene and put the suspect in custody for “pulling a knife on the tow truck driver,” according to CPD Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan:

Police said Walker rented rooms in the house and Kolalou was a tenant.

“Many of the tenants who lived in this house were afraid of this individual,” Deenihan said of Kolalou.

“The deceased, the person who owns the residence, had actually served the defendant with a notice to leave or eviction notice. And that was done very recently,” he added.

Tenants reportedly heard a scream at approximately 2:30 a.m. Monday and it was believed Walker was killed in her bedroom before Kolalou allegedly dismembered her. The suspect possibly used large butcher knives, per Deenihan.

“The other residents, increasingly concerned on Monday that something had happened to Walker, tried to reach her by phone. Deenihan said some residents received text message responses from Walker’s phone that Kolalou may have sent,” the CWB Chicago report stated.

Earlier this year, a woman in her 80s claimed Kolalou tackled her in the hallway of a condo building in Uptown. The woman did not show signs of being hurt and explained she was not familiar with the suspect.

“Police said the older woman refused to file felony charges, so they filed a charge of misdemeanor battery against Kolalou. She was found not guilty in July, according to court records,” the CWB Chicago article read.

Walker was apparently well known in her community, according to CBS Chicago anchor Audrina Bigos:

“The victim, Frances Walker played organ at several churches and played piano at a ballet school in Evanston,” she wrote in a social media post Thursday.

A recent survey found violent crime in cities across President Joe Biden’s (D) America rose by more than four percent during the first six months of this year, Breitbart News reported September 14.

“Compared to 2019 crime rates, some cities have seen a doubling in murders and a 36 percent increase in aggravated assaults,” the outlet said.

As violent crime soars in Democrat-run cities, Senate and House Republicans are highlighting the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies in their campaign messaging.

NYC Crime Wave: Teen Attacked, Stabbed by Masked Suspects on Manhattan Subway Platform

A 17-year-old was stalked and brutally beaten by a group of masked suspects before he was stabbed on a subway platform in New York City.

According to police, the teen entered the subway system at East 53 Street and Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan at around 4:22 p.m. on Saturday. He was coming off a shift working at Shake Shack, the New York Post noted.

One minute later, six individuals entered the subway station through the same location and approached the victim waiting on the northbound ‘6’ line platform.

The group of individuals proceeded to start punching and kicking the 17-year-old multiple times in the head and body. During the beating, one of the individuals pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times.

The gang of attackers then fled the station to parts unknown. New York Police Department (NYPD) officials believe that the victim and the attackers had known each other previously.

“He said he had a beef with them,” a police source told the Post, but it was unclear what the dispute was over.

EMS attended to the victim at the station and then transported him to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. While the teen received multiple staples, he was listed in stable condition.

The NYPD is searching for approximately six black males who were last seen wearing black hooded jackets, black pants, and surgical masks.

According to NYPD crime statistics, major crime in Democrat Mayor Eric Adam’s New York City has increased by 32.7 percent since last year. Assaults are up by 15.9 percent, and crime on the city’s transit system has jumped 41.6 percent.

Breitbart News recently reported that rising violent crime has emerged as a deciding issue for most American voters with the 2022 midterm elections approaching. Recent polling shows that 77 percent of voters believe violent crime is a serious issue.

As violent crime soars in Democrat-run cities, Senate and House Republicans are highlighting the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies in their campaign messaging.

Eighteen people were shot, two of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.

ABC 7 reports the first of the two shooting fatalities was discovered around 7:50 a.m., when a man was discovered shot to death in East Garfield Park.

FOX 32 notes the man had been shot 16 times. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.

The second fatal shooting occurred Sunday morning just after 1:30 a.m. “in the 400 block of South Wells Street,” where a 24-year-old and a 38-year-old got into an argument that turned physical.

The 24-year-old pulled a gun and shot the 38-year-old, who was rushed to a hospital, where he died. The 24-year-old was taken into custody.

ABC 7 observed that the violent weekend was followed by three people being shot Monday morning “on a downtown feeder ramp to the Kennedy Expressway.” The victims’ injuries are non-life-threatening.

The Chicago Sun-Times points out that 527 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2022, through October 9, 2022.

Fetterman Opposed ‘Tough on Crime’ Policies in Bid for Anti-Cop Group’s Endorsement

 • October 10, 2022 4:59 am

While courting an anti-police group’s endorsement in 2018, Senate hopeful John Fetterman said he opposed "tough on crime" policies and was "very excited" for the reforms proposed by a Philadelphia district attorney now facing impeachment over a massive spike in violent crime in the city.

Fetterman laid out his views of a "progressive agenda" in a questionnaire for Reclaim Philadelphia, a left-wing activist group that claims Philadelphia’s police budget is derived from money "stolen from communities." Fetterman, who was seeking an endorsement in the race for lieutenant governor, told the organization he would use the office "as a bully pulpit for the larger issue of criminal justice reform."

"There is a real opportunity to build a statewide platform that elevates and exposes the damage created by the school-to-prison pipeline, the prison industrial complex, and ‘tough on crime’ policies like ‘Stop and Frisk’ and cash bail," said Fetterman, who expressed support for sanctuary cities and Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner, one of the left-wing prosecutors backed by Democratic billionaire donor George Soros.

Fetterman’s campaign ignored questions about his current views of Krasner and cash bail, but a spokesman said Fetterman supported police as mayor of Braddock, Pa.
"John has worked hand-in-hand with local police, so he knows the challenges they face and will support them with the funding they need," said campaign spokesman Joe Calvello.

Fetterman’s past embrace of progressive criminal justice reform could hurt his chances as crime spikes across the country. Republicans have highlighted Fetterman’s positions on the issue as well as his tenure on the Board of Pardons in a series of blistering ads aimed at portraying the Democrat as soft on crime. A GOP group affiliated with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) has aired ads highlighting the Washington Free Beacon’s report that Fetterman cast the lone vote to free a man serving a life sentence for the first degree murder of a man he killed for money to buy heroin.

Republicans have also emphasized Fetterman’s endorsement of Krasner, who faces impeachment in the Pennsylvania legislature for "dereliction of duty" after violent crime skyrocketed in the city. Murders in Philadelphia have skyrocketed from 353 when Krasner took over in 2018 to 562 last year.

The GOP onslaught appears to have narrowed Fetterman’s lead over Republican Mehmet Oz. Fetterman has aired a series of ads defending his record on crime. He has also flipped his support for universal drug legalization, a reversal from his comments in 2016 that he supports "decriminalizing across the board."

Current and former law enforcement officials have also criticized Fetterman’s progressive views. Thirteen Pennsylvania sheriffs opposed Fetterman in July over his criminal justice positions, saying his support for the release of up to one-third of state inmates and his backing of Krasner would "add to already rising crime rates in Pennsylvania, particularly in Philadelphia."

Fetterman’s call to end "tough on crime" policies like cash bail are "a huge mistake," according to James Gagliano, a retired FBI supervisory special agent who serves as mayor of Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y.

"For those of us who study crime trends, we immediately sensed the causal relationship between releasing criminal recidivists and the glaring uptick in crime—especially violent crimes," Gagliano told the Free Beacon.

Another "tough on crime" policy Fetterman opposes—"Stop and Frisk"—has gained renewed attention in Philadelphia amid surging gun crime in the City of Brotherly Love.

Philadelphia city council president Darrell Clarke said this summer that there needs to be a "conversation" about the policing tactic, in which police officers question people they suspect have committed or are about to commit a crime.

"At the end of the day there are a lot of citizens on the streets of Philadelphia that talk about, ‘When are we going to look at stop and frisk in a constitutionally enacted way?'" said Clarke.

Fetterman’s opposition to the police use of "Stop and Frisk" appears at odds with his use of a similar tactic as mayor of Braddock in 2013. Fetterman chased down and pulled a shotgun on an unarmed black jogger he falsely thought had fired a gun near his home. Fetterman has declined to apologize for the incident.

While Fetterman says he opposes the movement to defund police, he has sought the support of several activists that support the cause. In 2020, Reclaim Philadelphia urged supporters to pressure Philadelphia mayor James Kenney (D.) to pull $120 million in funding for the police department, claiming the money "has been stolen from communities and put towards policing." In June 2021, Reclaim Philadelphia organized a sit-in at Kenney’s office to urge cuts to the police budget.

The organization has not officially endorsed Fetterman, but the group holds voter canvassing events for the Democrat in Philadelphia each weekend.

Fetterman campaigned on the anniversary of 9/11 with abortion activists who support the defund movement. Fetterman also campaigned last month with three Philadelphia city council members who back the movement. Fetterman’s appointee as secretary of the Board of Pardons has called to "disarm the police" and calls cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal a "friend," the Free Beacon reported.

Fetterman’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

High Life: Oregon Dem Governor Candidate Wants Safe Havens for Meth Users

 • October 5, 2022 4:20 pm

SHARE

The Democratic candidate for Oregon governor wants to create safe havens for meth users in Portland, even as drug overdoses spike statewide.

Tina Kotek called for the construction of a "meth stabilization center" in Oregon’s largest city during a gubernatorial debate Tuesday night. These "sobering centers" let people stay indoors while they come down from their high on methamphetamines and other dangerous drugs. Portland’s first meth stabilization center, Central City Concern, closed in 2019 because it was not providing much-needed medical treatment to addicts, according to its senior medical director.

Kotek’s comment could further hurt her chances against Republican Christine Drazan, who in the last week has taken the lead in four consecutive polls. During her tenure as Oregon House speaker, Kotek approved a sweeping drug decriminalization bill and sided with rioters over law enforcement during Portland’s George Floyd-inspired 2020 protests.

Methamphetamine has killed more Oregonians than fentanyl or heroin in the past three years.

Kotek’s push for the controversial sobering center is in line with other left-wing approaches to a growing nationwide drug problem. In Boston, drug users are allowed to freely shoot up outside so-called harm-reduction facilities. The Washington Free Beacon has also reported on the Biden administration’s $30 million grant program to distribute free crack pipes to addicts.

"Tina Kotek's only solution is to further normalize this lethal epidemic that has claimed far too many lives," Drazan campaign spokesman John Burke told the Free Beacon. "Harm reduction will only further enable this crisis."

Kotek’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Both Kotek and Oregon’s independent gubernatorial candidate Betsy Johnson voted for the state’s drug decriminalization bill in 2021. Initially passed on the 2020 ballot, Measure 110 permits possession of any drug in small amounts statewide. Oregon had the highest rate of methamphetamine use of any U.S. state in 2020, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

During the last gubernatorial debate, Drazan and Johnson pledged to repeal Measure 110. Kotek acknowledged it "may be imperfect" but should not be thrown out.

 As violent crime soars in Democrat-run cities, Senate and House Republicans are highlighting the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies in their campaign messaging.

Incitement: Johnson Blames Deadly Kenosha Riots On Barnes’s Anti-Police Rhetoric

Johnson spars with Barnes over crime in Wisconsin debate

 • October 7, 2022 10:00 pm

SHARE

Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) and Democratic challenger Mandela Barnes sparred over crime issues during a debate on Friday night, with Johnson saying Barnes’s anti-police rhetoric "incited" the deadly riots against law enforcement in Kenosha in 2020.

Johnson slammed Barnes, the state’s lieutenant governor, for his response to the riots in Kenosha, which erupted after police officers shot and wounded Jacob Blake, a wanted domestic violence suspect who was armed with a knife in 2020. In the wake of Blake’s shooting, anti-police activists flooded into Kenosha, burning buildings and engaging in violent scuffles that led to multiple deaths.

Crime has become a leading issue in the competitive Wisconsin Senate race, as Milwaukee’s homicide rate has spiked by 20 percent since last year. Throughout the campaign, Barnes has been fighting to distance himself from perceptions he is anti-police and soft on crime.

"Instead of trying to settle things down," said Johnson during the debate on Friday, "the lieutenant governor gave a press conference and said it felt like a vendetta was carried out [by the police] against one of our community members. He incited the riot."

While Barnes accused police of misconduct at the time, subsequent investigations found no evidence that they acted inappropriately.

"This was not an accident," said Barnes during a news conference after the shooting. "This wasn’t bad police work.  This felt like some sort of vendetta being taken out on a member of our community. The officer’s deadly actions attempted to take a person’s life in broad daylight."

Barnes did not comment on his response to the riots during the debate. He said he believes the best way to combat rising crime is by " fully funding our schools" and "making sure there are good paying jobs in our communities."

Johnson and Barnes also debated mandatory minimum wages, climate change, and federal student loan relief. Barnes argued that Wisconsin should increase its minimum wage to $15 an hour, while Johnson said government-mandated wage minimums would lead to fewer available jobs.

On climate change, Barnes said the United States needs to take stronger action to address climate issues while Johnson criticized him for supporting the Green New Deal, a massive government spending bill that could cost as much as $93 trillion, according to estimates.

Johnson and Barnes disagreed over President Joe Biden’s executive order to use federal funds to pay off student loans. Johnson called the policy "grotesquely unfair for people who never went to college or [who already] paid off their student loans."

Barnes argued that "absolutely it’s fair that people get some student loan relief," saying people who hold student loan debt "cannot fully participate in the economy."


Kanye West: ‘Just a Black Man Stating the Obvious’

What planet do Kanye's haters live on?

Of the torrent of comments Kanye “Ye” West received in the days after he and Candace Owens sported “White Lives Matter” shirts to his Paris fashion show, the one that gave him the warmest chuckle came from his father, a former Black Panther.  “Just a black man stating the obvious,” he told Tucker Carlson, quoting his dad.

Most of us got it.

“Black Lives Matter” has been used to indoctrinate children, scatter anti-racist eggshells around every workplace, and threaten people’s jobs, livelihoods, and their lives.   Under the banner of Black Lives Matter, “protesters” have wrecked restaurants, businesses, government buildings, public monuments, and homes.  It’s given race hustlers a license to ruin sports, ruin entertainment, ruin business, ruin commercials, ruin the military, ruin law enforcement, and ruin race relations.   Black Lives Matter has been emblazoned on T-Shirts and all sorts of paraphernalia.  It’s been painted on streets, painted on pro football fields and basketball courts.  It’s been used to rewrite history, topple statues, rename schools and pro sports teams; and its flag has been flown at stores, in classrooms, over government buildings, even over embassies around the globe.

Wearing a shirt that reads “White Lives Matter” made the obvious statement that it’s all been a bit much. It was long overdue, but not nearly enough to shift things back into balance.

Yet, after all we now know about the corruption of the Black Lives Matter organization, and the movement’s exaggerated grievances (even Sharon Osborne asked for her $900,000 back), the celebrity class inside the squeaky cancel culture machinery called what West did “offensive,” “dangerous,” “pure violence,” and “indefensible behavior.”

Some of the worst attacks came from rich, black celebrities who are expected to publicly whip one of their strays.  Blinded by the limelight, by accolades from the “equity” industry, and by an extreme fear of being labeled as sellouts, these celebrities enslave themselves to a black metaverse that is completely detached from reality.

Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, with a net worth around $1.25 million, called it “hugely irresponsible,” and wrote, there was “no art here.”

“It didn’t land and it was deeply offensive, violent, and dangerous,” Karefa-Johnson tweeted.

Temple University professor Lamont Hill, net worth around $1 million, called West’s decision to wear the shirt “disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible.”

Author Jemele Hill, net worth about $4 million, called West’s shirt-wearing a “dangerously dumb message to send for someone with his massive platform.”

Van Lathan, a producer and media personality with a net worth of about $1.5 million, tweeted that the slogan was a “white supremacist notion.”

“We don’t need a reminder of the worth of white lives,” Lathan wrote.  “America is a shrine to the worth of white people. … The notion that it ALWAYS has to be about white people in America is incredibly frustrating, emotionally draining, and the whole problem.”

Writer Meecham Meriweather, with a net worth approaching $1 million, wrote that Kanye “doesn’t care about the black community,” something West blurted about George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina.

Jaden Smith, Will’s son, net worth around $8 million, attended the show and walked out early, and later tweeted three words: “Black Lives Matter,” a tweet that rewarded him with tens of thousands of retweets and a quarter of million “likes,” among them Kendall Jenner.

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, net worth approaching $1 billion, expressed reluctance to address “everything in the world that’s going on,” but was compelled to post an Instagram video about West’s shirt to his 19 million followers.

“Right now, all America has planned for us is poverty, incarceration, and death,” he said.  “So, before I could get to any other lives matter, which all lives matter … that black lives matter, don’t play with it.   Don’t wear the shirt.  Don’t buy the shirt.  Don’t play with the shirt.  It’s not a joke.”

What planet do these people live on?

As imaginary grievances loop inside their brains, the problems in lagging black communities have become so severe that they’re spilling out everywhere.  It’s obvious.  Black crime is more random, more violent, and more vicious.  There are more black fathers on TV commercials than in some neighborhoods.  And somehow, morbid rap, twerking, and cop hatred has become ritualized as authentic black culture.

It’s not enough that these people choose to lie incessantly about the things we see right in front of our faces, but they use ridicule, ostracism, even violence to pressure others to lie, too.

“[People with influence] have people that around them at all times, telling them what to be afraid of,” West told Carlson. “I think I started to really feel this need to express myself on another level when Trump was running for office and I liked him.  My so-called friends-slash-handlers around me told me if I said that I liked Trump that my career would be over, that my life would be over.  They said stuff like, ‘People get killed for wearing a hat like that.’ They threatened my life.  They basically said that I would be I killed for wearing the hat.”

West said he got a call the night before Tucker’s interview from someone who threatened that anyone wearing a White Lives Matter shirt would be “greenlit” – a prison term that refers to “shanking” a person in the shower so he bleeds out before guards even notice he’s missing.

West, worth $6.6 billion according to Bloomberg, has said a lot of dumb stuff over the years, but somewhere between Hurricanes Katrina and Ian, he’s become more sensible – more determined to say the obvious at a time when his critics are more determined to ignore it.  It’s refreshing.

For this, if nothing else, West deserves great credit – although, in the grand scheme of things in America since 2020, the gesture was more “too little, too late” than “better late than never,” especially for people who’ve literally died because of this stuff.

And at a time when so many obvious things are being lied about – border security, defunding the police, climate change, COVID-19, vaccine injuries, “the most secure election in American history,” men have babies, zero inflation, and “abortion is a woman’s reproductive rights,” – we’re going to need a whole lot more than “just a black man stating the obvious” to un-ring these bells.

Corporate Safety in Cities: Some Get it, Some Don’t

Prior to the George Floyd incident, the thought of safety would rarely have occurred when executives visit a company as part of the vetting process for both sides. Clearly, the concern for safety has changed in many cities.  My wife and I use to do date nights to Minneapolis Uptown area on a monthly basis, but the George Floyd riots changed this part of Minneapolis permanently. Buildings are still boarded up and many of the restaurants we frequented are no longer around. The primary reason we now stay clear of many parts of Minneapolis is that we don’t feel safe.  Murder rates are at all-time historic highs and all other crimes are way up.  Historic police exodus in Minneapolis and other cities impacted by racial justice unrest and Minneapolis identifying as a sanctuary city with a large influx of illegal immigrants, has only exasperated the problem of increased crime. 

Looking at cities that are hot spots for crime (Chicago, New Orleans, and New York City), we questioned three financial services firms on whether they are concerned for the safety of financial advisors that visit their home office and whether they intend on relocating their home office due to high crime rates.  These due-diligence visits consist of a dinner out with management and a day of meetings the next day.  We asked a recruiter of a firm in New Orleans about their concerns.  Their response was:

“There is no plan to change our home office location.  Like other major cities across the country there are always challenges for safety and we take that very seriously.  When scheduling HOV’s with prospective advisors, we book our advisors at 4–5-star hotels that are located in safe areas nearby our office as well as schedule private transportation between the airport & hotel, holding dinner at highly regarded restaurants.” 

Midway through 2022, New Orleans leads the nation in murders.  As much as this firm may try to protect visiting prospects, they can’t prevent candidates from wanting to venture out and explore the French Quarter after dinner, in which case, all safety assurances are off.  This is problematic in many cities, requiring you to figure out where’s the decreasing number of safe places where you can let your guard down. 

We asked the CEO of a Chicago firm the same questions and his response was,

“Our home office is located in the West Loop area of Chicago which is very vibrant, growing, hip and safe area of the city.  We have had zero issues with crime or anything even close to it.  Our home office employees enjoy coming to the office.  So no, we have no intention of moving the home office.  If anything, we are looking to expand here in downtown Chicago.”

Normalcy bias aside, according to Niche, the issues with crime in the West Loop year to date July 2022 are not zero but rather their statistics show this:

Crime in Chicago is enough of an issue that many corporations have left including:

Boeing

Citadel

Caterpillar

Aldi’s

Whole Foods

The CEO of McDonalds has recently sounded the alarm, saying, "The rising crime is hurting his ability to recruit quality executive candidates.”  The number of safe neighborhoods is decreasing as high crime areas expand.  The Magnificent Mile and the North side,  which use to be safe places to shop at high-end stores or see a Cub game, have had their perception of safety ripped away with most all categories of crime increasing dramatically.     

For New Yorkers, crime has had a prolonged upswing, but has amplified since the George Floyd riots with YTD July 2022 stats the following:

Robbery +37.2%

Felony Assault +17.8%

Grand Larceny +40.6%

Felonies +29%

In a discussion with a recruiter for a firm based in New York City, the conversation was frank and direct.  He explained,

“If I were an advisor, I wouldn’t visit New York.  It’s not safe!  Rent/Lease prices are still crazy high and you don’t see anyone around so we have plans to move our office to another borough and then eventually go to Florida.”

Moving from New York City to Florida is a common trend for finance-related firms such as Goldman Sachs, Citadel, Arch Investments, and Blackstone that have made the move to Florida for less crime, better climate, lower taxes, and no draconian COVID regulations and mismanagement of those regulations.

What are your options regarding corporate visits and safety?  During COVID, firms did virtual tours and Zoom calls as an alternative to in-person visits.  The increased issue with flight delays and cancelations has further taken the shine off in person visits so doing a Zoom call with the departments that matter to you is a viable alternative.  If you choose to do an in-person visit at a company that is located in a higher-crime city, avoiding venturing outside the safety of your hotel after dinner would be most prudent.

If you do venture out, take the advice that the Los Angeles Police Department is now giving residents in Los Angeles, which is to not wear high-end jewelry in public or expensive clothing that draws attention to you.  Expensive watches can be especially risky to wear.

We’ve always been proponents of in-person visits because meeting people in person, seeing the facility, and eating a meal with management brings things to the surface you don’t get on a Zoom call. Unfortunately, as the ‘rule of law’ is increasingly suppressed in the name of equality, many cities are shifting from centers of commerce to centers of chaos.  Because of this trend, you can’t assume safety as we once did in urban locations.

 AMERICA'S BLACKS: THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD


Democrats Used A Massive Race Hoax To Gain Power

By Kathleen Brush

 

For two years, a U.S. presidential administration has perpetrated a

 racial hoax. Teamed up with Black Lives Matter (BLM), an

 unscrupulous, failedcorrupt organization that promotes violence,

 Americans have been duped by the world’s largest racial hoax.

Etute, who is 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, beat the 153-pound Smith to death.  Etute struck Smith in the head five times, knocking him to the floor.  Etute admitted in court that he stomped on Smith's face as he left the apartment, leaving a bloody shoe print on Smith's cheek.  Nearly all the bones in Smith's face were broken, an autopsy revealed.  Smith also suffered bleeding of the brain and had his teeth knocked out.

 

BLACK LIVES MURDER

Police Chief: Illinois ‘Monster’ Beheads 8-Months Pregnant Ex-Girlfriend

 

1,120 people have been shot this year in Chicago and 282 people have been murdered.

During the summer of 2020, BLM and Antifa wrought violence and did billions of dollars in damage across America.  The Democrat left supported those riots and raised money to bail out the perpetrators no matter what they had done.  Our media, of course, supported the rioters too; they love nothing better than exacerbating an already-explosive situation.  The media do not investigate the obvious possibility that the rioters were recruited and paid to do what they do.  Ask one of them why they are rioting and you will get a blank look.  They may be doing it for a paycheck, not principles or ideology.  

 

How You Get the Left to Talk Honestly About Black Crime

A disturbing look at the FBI’s data on race and animal-cruelty offenses.

https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2022/06/americas-black-crime-tidal-wave-how-you.html

 

But due to a ton of negative black disparities showing up in the data, the mainstream media pursues a policy of silence on the issue, turning it as a result into a taboo topic.

These figures are even more glaring when one considers pet-ownership rates. If blacks owned pets at rates double their own population, their cruelty offense-rates would be less of a concern. But this is not the case. White ownership rates have been shown to be double, even triple, that of blacks, meaning the latter’s propensity for animal cruelty is actually far higher than what’s showing in the FBI’s figures.

WINDOW INTO THE DEPRAVED BLACK SUBCULTURE

The Social Order

As for interracial violence generally, blacks disproportionately commit it. Between 2012 and 2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations, excluding homicide, between blacks

and whites, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Blacks, who make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, committed 85.5 percent of those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on 

whites, while whites, 61 percent of the population, committed 14.4 percent, or 91,470 felonious assaults on blacks. Regarding threats to blacks from the police, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

Anti-cop activist Shaun King says that his involvement in the campaign around the Jazmine Barnes murder was not driven by reports that a white man had killed the seven-year-old girl, who was gunned down in Houston on December 30. According to Barnes’s mother and 15-year-old sister, the white driver of a pickup truck had pulled up next to the family’s car before opening fire. The accusation set off a frenzy of hate-crime allegations and blanket coverage by the New York Times. King offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who located the suspect. 

As it turned out, Jazmine Barnes was killed by two black men, who opened fire on her mother’s car because they thought that they were targeting enemies of their gang. King passed along a tip about the real killers to the Houston police, and now says that he merely “internalized the pain of the family and tried to search as if it were my own child who was killed.” Race, in other words, had nothing to do with his activism. 

It’s worth remembering, though, the many other black children who have been victims of drive-by shootings without leading King to launch a national crusade.

A sampling: in March 2015, a six-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting on West Florissant Avenue in St. Louis, as Black Lives Matter protesters were converging on the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to demand the resignation of the entire department. In August 2015, a nine-year-old girl was killed by a bullet from a drive-by shooting in Ferguson while doing her homework in her bedroom, blocks from the Black Lives Matter rioting thoroughfare. Five children were shot in Cleveland over the 2015 Fourth of July weekend. A seven-year-old boy was killed in Chicago that same weekend by a bullet intended for his father. In Cincinnati, in July 2015, a four-year-old girl was shot in the head and a six-year-old girl was left paralyzed and partially blind from two separate drive-by shootings. In Cleveland, three children five and younger were killed in September 2015, leading the black police chief to break down in tears and ask why the community only protests shootings of blacks when the perpetrator is a cop. In November 2015, a nine-year-old in Chicago was lured into an alley and killed by his father’s gang enemies; the father refused to cooperate with the police. All told, ten children under the age of ten were killed in Baltimore in 2015; twelve victims were between the age of ten and seventeen. 

In 2016, a three-year-old girl in Baltimore was partially paralyzed by a drive-by shooting. In Chicago in 2016, two dozen children under the age of 12 were shot in drive-bys, including a three-year-old boy mowed down on Father’s Day 2016 who is now paralyzed for life and a ten-year-old boy shot in August; his pancreas, intestines, kidney, and spleen were torn apart. A Jacksonville 22-month-old was shot to death by a passing car last June. In September, three men killed three-year-old Azalya Anderson in a drive-by in Sacramento, and a week before Christmas in Bridgeport, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed on his way home from the candy store in a drive-by shooting.

Why did King let these shootings of black children go by without responding as he did to Jazmine Barnes’s murder? Could it be because the perpetrators were black? You could end all white shootings of black children tomorrow and it would have zero effect on the death rate of black children by homicide, because such white-on-black shootings are extremely rare. Moral abominations, like the 2015 Charleston church massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, are aberrations that belong to the outermost lunatic fringe of American society. The country’s revulsion at the Charleston carnage was immediate and universal, resulting in a movement to banish the Confederate flag, embraced by Roof as a white supremacist symbol, from official sites. 

If Shaun King and other Black Lives Matter activists really want to save black children from the trauma of urban violence, they should put their efforts into rebuilding inner-city culture—above all, by revalorizing a married father as the best gift a mother can give her child. Fantasies about white violence against “black bodies” are a distraction from what is actually happening on American streets.

 Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime

By John Dale Dunn

 

Dr. Williams is a well known conservative economist and longtime John Olin Chair faculty at George Mason University in eastern Virginia, author of 12 books and syndicated columnist.  In the past, he has been substitute host on the Rush Limbaugh radio program.  He is almost like family to me, and I have benefited from his essays and books over the years.  This past week, I saw and read his essay on disparities in crime rates among races that was picked up by Military in its October 2019 issue.  What got Dr. Williams going was the article by  Matthew DeLisi of Iowa State U and John Paul Wright of the U of Cincinnati titled "What Criminologists Don't Say and Why."

Dr. Williams confirms that the writers are right about the liberal tilt of criminologists — "If criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it's behind closed doors and in guarded language.  Any discussion about race and crime ... can mean the end of one's professional career."  

Dr. Williams points out teen black-on-white predatory behavior — chronicled in detail by many, particularly Colin Flaherty, whose investigative reports appear frequently (more than 100) at American Thinker — cannot be reported, mentioned, or considered by the media, politicians,  criminologists, commentators, politicians, even law enforcement people without risking being called racist, the easy epithet used to enforce a ban on talking about the realities of racial disparities in crime and the increasingly violent nature of black violence against whites — the knockout game, polar bear hunting, flash mob violence against people and property.

Referencing the Wright and DeLisi report, 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, for example, and he points out the silliness of criminologists' claims that mass incarceration rather than criminality has decimated the black community.  He favorably quotes Wright and DeLisi when they say, "What they [criminals] did, in reality was to prey on their neighbors."

Dr. Williams returns to a theme he has explored many times before in this essay and commentary when he points out that the black family of the past was two parents and stable, even back to days of slavery, and that the black community was moral and law-abiding.  "The strong character of black people is responsible for the great progress made from emancipation to today. ... [T]oday's conduct among black youth wouldn't have been tolerated yesteryear."

My regret is there aren't enough Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell types to engage the nutty attitudes of liberal chatterbox experts.
