Nolte: High-Profile Leftists Victimized by Violent Crime – Now Will Democrats Care?
Several high-profile leftists have been victimized over the past few days by the violent crime wave that they either helped to unleash or downplayed.
Now, will Democrats care?
Could this be another case like New York City, a city that, just a few months ago, was a smug sanctuary city … until it actually had to give sanctuary to about only one percent of the illegal aliens invading our country?
Oh, now…NOW, the Democrats who run New York are worried about the border. Now that it’s YOUR ELITE city being destroyed by Joe Biden’s third-world invasion, border security suddenly matters. When it was working-class border towns being destroyed, New York not only didn’t care; New York encouraged this by encouraging illegal immigration with its sanctuary status.

I’m not going to lie… I love watching New York City being destroyed by its own policies. Watching New York’s destruction fills me with joy. New Yorkers voted for this. Everyone should get what they vote for.
Murder, however, is nothing to be happy about, and there have been two murders of high-profile leftists who are now the tragic victims of their own ideology. Add to that a Democrat congressman who got carjacked outside his Washington, D.C., apartment Monday night.
Philadelphia journalist Josh Kruger was 39 years old and was shot seven times in his home:
A Philadelphia journalist who weeks ago disputed reports that crime was rising in the city was shot dead early Monday.
“Look, it’s that lawless land of liberals in Philly where shootings are…dropping to levels not seen in years. We are dependent on national trends, for better or worse. It’s unfair to blame local cops for rising crime, inaccurate to credit with drops,” Josh Kruger had posted on X in July.
Two days before his murder, Kruger mocked Dilbert creator Scott Adams for predicting that Joe Biden’s presidency meant there’s “a good chance you’ll be dead.”

“The Dilbert dude is like Nostradamus,” Kruger snarked. “Look at this prediction from 2020. Wow. Eerie.”
Social justice activist Ryan Carson was 32-years-old and was fatally stabbed to death in New York on Monday:
Ryan Carson, 32, was standing at a bus stop with his girlfriend when they were approached by a man who asked Carson what he was looking at, reports say. The man then repeatedly stabbed him in the chest. Carson was later pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital.
The shocking and apparently unprovoked attack has led to an outpouring of grief from friends and colleagues who remembered Carson as a tireless social justice advocate who dedicated himself to making the world a better place.
Per the reports, Carson was murdered around 4:00 a.m. in front of his girlfriend and then died in her arms. Nevertheless, police say they have no description of the suspect. His girlfriend was right there. She didn’t see the guy? Hmmm….?
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) was carjacked by three armed assailants Monday night in Washington, D.C.
The Associated Press reported that a statement on the incident was released that said in part, “As Congressman Cuellar was parking his car this evening, 3 armed assailants approached the Congressman and stole his vehicle. Luckily, he was not harmed and is working with local law enforcement.”
FOX News noted that the carjacking occurred around 9:30 p.m.
Cuellar’s car was recovered, and the Congressman was not harmed during the incident.
Cueller was outside his apartment when the incident occurred.
Again, I take no pleasure in seeing anyone hurt or murdered. But now that the sowers are finally doing the reaping, maybe some good can come from this with a return to sane criminal justice policies.
America knows how to make our cities safe. Living with this horror is a choice.

No Civility Anymore’: Elderly Man Severely Beaten in Movie Theater for Asking to Sit in His Reserved Seats
An elderly man was severely beaten in a Florida cinema after asking a younger couple to move out of the seats that he had previously reserved.
Marc Cohen, 63, had purchased the tickets for the reserved seats at the AMC theater in Pompano Beach, Florida. But when he got to the section, he found Jesse Montez Thorton II, 27, already sitting there, according to the Daily Mail.
In a statement, Broward Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Claudinne Caro said, “When [the victim] and his wife arrived at the movie theater, he noticed an unknown adult male and adult female in his seats. [The victim] politely asked the subject, Jesse Montez Thorton II, to move from their seats. Witnesses said that’s when Thorton became hostile.”
Video of the July 10 attack shows that the man identified as Thorton seemed to immediately get hostile after Cohen asked the couple to vacate the seats.
Cohen stumbled back as the suspect came on hot. Then the younger man immediately began pummeling the elder with repeated haymakers, according to the video.
Bystanders rushed to separate the two, and the man now identified as Thorton quickly left the theater.

“I just don’t understand people, how they act that way — there’s no civility anymore,” the beating victim told WPLG-TV.
Cohen added that when he asked Thorton to leave the seats, “He said, ‘Go run to your wife, little boy.’ I said, ‘You’re the little boy for acting this way.'”
The legal seat holder said Thorton yelled, “Do you want to fight,” and then started hitting him.
“I was on the stairs and he just kept pounding away at my head, and I couldn’t get him off of me to do that,” Cohen said.
Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Caro said that investigators worked for months to identify the perpetrator.
“BSO detectives worked this case for months,” Caro reported. “The video and information about this callous attack received national and international media attention and generated leads, including an anonymous tip through Broward Crime Stoppers.”
Thorton was taken into custody on Sept. 28 and is being held at the Broward County Main Jail in lieu of a $250,000 bond.
