As long as our blue cities tolerate crime and protect criminals in the name of social justice, the public will not feel safe. It’s not very complicated. In fact, it’s as simple as taking back the streets, or what law and order Joe told us.
Our cities could use a little law and order
Last weekend, a young widow and her one-year-old son were the latest consequence of lawlessness in our blue cities. A man with a long criminal record shot a police officer. It reminded us of a couple of things:
First, criminals will always find guns, no matter how many laws or gun control speeches we hear.
Second, some criminals need to be in jail rather than sitting in a car waiting to kill someone.
This is the legacy of soft-on-crime policies and blaming guns rather than criminals.
A few days, A.G. Garland went public telling us about numbers and crime. It fell flat because speeches about numbers don’t keep people safe. This is an editorial from The Washington Times:
With policies like that, there is good reason to question statistics claiming that lawlessness is on the decline. Police just aren’t responding to calls or counting incidents as they once did. For instance, big cities like New York and Los Angeles didn’t even bother turning in data to the FBI for use in the agency’s 2021 statistics.
The public knows the rosy numbers don’t reflect reality. A Gallup survey last year found an 11% increase in the number of people afraid to walk alone at night near their home since Mr. Biden entered the White House. As a result, a Rasmussen poll from February gave Republicans a 13-point edge over Democrats on handling crime.
So A.G. Garland can say whatever he wants, but the public is screaming, “Where’s the beef?” A.G. Garland moves around the country protected by officers with machine guns, but the grandmother walking to the bodega is not so lucky. She has to deal with lawless youths who attack and rob for the hell of it.
As long as our blue cities tolerate crime and protect criminals in the name of social justice, the public will not feel safe. It’s not very complicated. In fact, it’s as simple as taking back the streets, or what law and order Joe told us.
Take back the streets, Mr. President, or no one is going to believe what your A.G. is saying about crime.

BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD. LETTING THEM OUT OF JAILS AND PRISON TO BE NICEY-NICE WILL NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.
Jamaal Bowman Endorsed a Gen Z Group Calling To End Cash Bail, While Results of the Policy Plague His District
Yonkers residents were found dismembered, and the suspects were released without bail
Two months ago, blood and human flesh were found in the pipes and toilets of a Long Island home, the inhabitants of which were arrested and charged with evidence tampering after the dismembered body parts of two Yonkers, N.Y., residents were discovered in a nearby park. Within a week, the suspects were back on the streets after being released on cashless bail, a move that prompted fear and criticism from the Yonkers community.
The town's representative in Congress, Jamaal Bowman (D.), did not comment on the grisly crime—or the fact that the suspects were released without bail. He did, however, praise a progressive youth group lobbying against cash bail in a Sunday video. Bowman encouraged Voters of Tomorrow to grow "to the millions" in order to tackle pressing issues for young people. Abolishing cash bail is a main priority for the group, according to their "Gen Z Agenda."
"We got to grow our numbers. Voters of Tomorrow needs to grow to millions of people from across the country at the table making legislation, organizing communities, holding local elected officials accountable, and ensuring that the resources go where they need to go. Young people have been revolutionaries throughout American history. We need it again right now because we got people in power that ain’t really doing the job," Bowman said.
"If the ‘justice’ system has policies or laws in place that have a monetary value tied to them, then those policies only apply to low-income people. No one should have to remain in prison for the duration of their case just because they do not have the financial means to pay their bail. Cash bail only applies to low-income people and we need equal justice," the group wrote in their "Gen Z Agenda."
Voters of Tomorrow did not return a request for comment.
The "Squad" member’s embrace of the progressive group reflects his commitment to far-left policies amid a contentious primary battle with Westchester county executive George Latimer. Bowman, for example, has spearheaded the progressive wing of the Democratic Party’s movement against Israel amid their war with Hamas. Latimer is a pro-Israel Democrat whom local rabbis encouraged to run, citing Bowman's hostility toward the Jewish state. In the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 attack, Bowman has accused Israel of "mass murder," "genocide," and "ethnic cleansing."
One man assaulted a police officer in Yonkers, N.Y.—Bowman’s hometown—in September and was released shortly after without bail. Johnny McCray, a repeat felon out on parole for attempted robbery, broke the nose of a police officer who responded to a medical emergency involving McCray. McCray was charged with felony second degree assault on a police officer and other charges, but was released after his bail hearing after apologizing to the county judge for his crime.
Yonkers mayor Mike Spano, a Democrat, was baffled by the judge’s decision to release the repeat felon back into society unpunished.
"The justice system is consistently bailing out criminal offenders," Spano said. "This Officer is now out on leave and not able to do his job, while this offender is able to continue to make a living. How can any reasonable person expect that we can protect the public if we can’t even protect our Police Officers?"
Those who have "proven to hurt and plague the community" belong in jail "period," Spano added.
The two slain Yonkers residents were found in February dismembered in nearby Babylon, N.Y. The four suspects, Steven Brown, Jeffrey Mackey, Amanda Wallace, and Alexis Nieves, who were charged with concealment of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and hindering prosecution, were released without bail. Three of the four suspects admitted to living in a home deemed "uninhabitable" with blood and flesh stuffed in the drains, pipes, and shower. They surrendered their passports and were fit with GPS monitoring.
Residents near Babylon expressed concern about the presence of the suspects in their community.
"No bail, no nothing ... I'm aggravated. I can't even believe this is happening," said Carol Maier, a resident of Babylon.
"I mean, when I grew up, you were innocent until proven guilty. I don't know what they have on these people. If they think they might have done it, I think they should be locked up," said local business owner James Litrenta.
Westchester County resident and New York City restaurant owner Alan Rosen lamented the cashless bail laws and said he and his employees feel "uneasy and unsafe."
"[Cashless bail] gives judges the discretion to put people back in jail. We're letting a few bad apples spoil the bunch," Rosen said.
'When did it become OK to shoplift a pharmacy? In what society is that OK? People shouldn't be able to shoplift at CVS," Rosen added. "Enough! There are no consequences. That's part of the problem."
Bowman, who did not return a request for comment, embraced progressive public safety solutions as recently as this year. He held a January press conference with a group called Journey for Justice Alliance, a progressive group working to defund the police. The two-term congressman unveiled his "Equity for All Resolution," legislation which endorses Journey for Justice Alliance and its platform, "Equity or Else," which demands lawmakers "reallocate/divest police budgets" and "institute policing-free schooling with no school resource officers."
Bowman during the press conference said he takes "marching orders" from the anti-police group. He also lauded the group and other activist groups for making his job "easy," saying he can merely adopt their proposals rather than craft his own.

DA: Man Who Allegedly Shot 6 on Easter in Tennessee Was Convicted Felon, Should Not Have Been Released
The man who allegedly shot and killed one person and wounded five others on Easter in Tennessee should have never been released, according to the Rutherford County district attorney.
WSMV 4 noted that 33-year-old Allen Beachem was shot and killed at a restaurant on Easter morning after 46-year-old Anton Rucker allegedly became frustrated over personal space issues and opened fire.
Beachem’s wife and cousins were among the five people injured but not killed.
The Tennessee Star reported that Rucker was arrested Tuesday in Kentucky. He is a convicted felon who was out on a $50,000 bond.
Rutherford County, Tennessee, District Attorney Jennings H. Jones indicated Rucker should have never been released on bond.
Jones said, “It would have been my druthers that he be denied bond or that the bond be set very high.”
Since his arrest, Rucker has been “charged with aggravated assault, illegal possession of a weapon, and three felony drug charges.”

Two Chicago Men Accused of Luring Children for Sexual Abuse Released Thanks to No-Bail, SAFE-T Act
Two men arrested for allegedly trying to lure children into a van were let go after a Chicago area judge released them under the impression that the recently posted no-bail SAFE-T Act prevented the men from being held.
The two men detained by police in Cicero were also charged with violating parole and probation, according to CWB Chicago.
The two suspects, Kenchi Edwards, 60, and Kraig McCauley, 55, allegedly tried to lure several 14-year-old children into their van with promises of “games” and the promise of meeting a “famous athlete.”
The children did not get in the van, and the police were called by a parent.
The police soon detained the two men and reportedly found a mattress in the van along with a used crack pipe, “numerous condoms, lubricant and binoculars,” and several open bottles of alcohol.
Then men were arrested and charged with two counts of child luring by a person older than 21 and two counts of attempted child abduction. They are also in trouble over their parole and probation violations.
During their first hearing, though, Assistant State’s Attorney Sarah Dale-Schmidt mistakenly advised Judge Susana Ortiz that the offenses were not detainable.
The judge wanted to make special note of the situation.
“I want to note for the record that as to each of these defendants, child luring and attempted child abduction are not enumerated offenses on which the People can seek detention,” Ortiz said, according to court records. “I want to note that attempted animal cruelty is one where detention can be sought but not attempted child abduction, for whatever that’s worth, I want that to be reflected on the record.”
Ortiz then ordered both men to go on electronic ankle monitoring so they could be released. She did, however, bar the men from “free movement” days, which most people on ankle monitors are allowed to have so they can leave their home two times a week.
CWB Chicago asked several sponsors of the law if the SAFE-T Act should have allowed these men to be assigned ankle monitoring and release based on their offenses.
Democrat Rep. Kam Buckner insisted that attempted child abduction is a detainable offense and the two suspects should have been held on those charges.
“Child abduction and attempted child abduction are 100% detention eligible,” Buckner told CWB. “It’s both named in the statute, and even if it wasn’t, there’s a catch all that makes detention eligible for any felony that includes the threat or infliction of great bodily harm or disability or disfigurement.”
Democrat Sen. Elgie Sims, another SAFE-T Act sponsor, agreed that the court was wrong about the case.
“The allegations are more than disturbing—these allegations are exactly the type of circumstances that would allow a person to be detained under the Pretrial Fairness Act,” Sims said. “The statute is clear, attempted child abduction should lead to the detention of the accused.”
The Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today (SAFE-T) Act officially went into effect on September 18 of last year after being signed into law by Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker in February of 2021.

The law has earned criticism from both sides of the aisle. For instance, Will County state’s attorney Jim Glasgow, who is a Democrat, criticized the law last year, saying, “It will destroy the state of Illinois.”
Some of the results of its first day were not encouraging.
Patrick Kenneally, who helms the AG’s office in the county just to the north east of Chicago, says that at least two suspects he feels are a danger to the community were allowed to simply walk out of jail after their court date.
“The first day operating under the SAFE-T Act resulted in the absurd and incoherent results many predicted,” Kenneally said Monday, according to the Lake & McHenry County Scanner.
“Reports that on the very first day of no cash bail, a violent offender arrested for attacking four Chicago Police Officers, sending two of them to the hospital, was immediately released because the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office didn’t even bother to file a motion to seek detaining the accused are problematic,” Illinois state Sen. John Curran told WFLD-TV.
“This highlights the misplaced priorities of Illinois’ criminal justice system when the prosecutor prioritizes the freedom of a violent offender over the safety of those police officers dedicated to protecting and serving our communities. Is there any wonder why police recruitment is at an all-time low in this state?” Curran asked.
Cases like this continue to occur all across the Land of Lincoln. And they will not be the last as this experiment in social justice rolls inevitably on in Illinois. And now it seems clear that the act is still highly problematic and putting Illinois citizens in danger.

Kanye West Accused Racism and Antisemitism in Harassment Lawsuit
Rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West has been hit with yet another lawsuit, this one from a former employee alleging racism, antisemitism, and harassment.
A former employee filed a lawsuit on Tuesday in a California court claiming that the Yeezy brand chief told students that he was being persecuted by Jews.
Former West employee Trevor Phillips filed his suit in a Los Angeles court alleging that he suffered discrimination, harassment and retaliation from West, according to wireservice AFP.
In his suit, Phillips said that West frequently “berated” white people but also that he was often seen “frenziedly yelling at Black people.”
“Phillips, on several occasions, witnessed Kanye preach to his staff obscenities such as ‘the Jews are out to get me’ and ‘the Jews are stealing all my money’,” the ex-employee’s suit says.
Phillips worked for Yeezy for about a year starting in Nov. of 2022. He was also placed at the Dona Academy, the L.A. area school West sponsors.
In the suit, Phillips also claims that West often praised WWII German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, calling the antisemitic war leader “great.”
“Hitler was an innovator. He invented so many things. He’s the reason we have cars,” Phillips claims that West told employees.
The claim is odd since Hitler has never been credited with being a major player in the invention and promotion of the automobile.
Phillips also alleges that West instituted weight requirements on employees, and the lawsuit adds, “Kanye also told the employees… that no staff could be fat -– otherwise he would fire them.”
The former employee is seeking $35,000 in compensation.
“We hope… that the famous artist Mr West will understand that his messages, which we allege preach discrimination, anti-Semitism and love for Hitler, have no place in the world,” lawyer Carney R. Shegerian said.
West spent the better part of the last two years being accused of antisemitism after making a series of untoward remarks. But he has also apologized, spoken of his mental health challenges, and asked for people to give him a chance to prove himself while he deals with his issues.
Meanwhile, the rapper’s recent album, Vultures 1 quickly shot to the number one album in the U.S. late in Feb.

DEALING WITH BLACK ASSAULTS
WATCH: Officers on Horseback Chase Alleged Shoplifter
The Albuquerque Police Department released body cam footage showing an officer on horseback chasing an alleged shoplifter who was on foot.
The incident occurred “outside a Walgreens on Coors and Central,” KRQE reported. An officer had just gotten his horse out of its trailer when someone alerted them to an alleged shoplifter and the chase was on.
KATV noted that the alleged shoplifter refused the officer’s orders to stop and ran out onto the busy roadway, at which point two other mounted officers joined in the attempted apprehension.
Watch the video:
After corralling the suspect, one of the second two mounted officers dismounted and handcuffed the alleged shoplifter.
The man was identified as 30-year-old Mark Chacon. KATV reported out he was “charged with shoplifting, eluding/evading police on foot, and possession of drug paraphernalia.”
