Nix Panicus posted:I really feel the 'Tough on Crime' stance is less to appeal to people actually at risk for being crimed and much more for the suburban shitheads worried that roving gangs are going to descend on their pristine yard and kidnap their kids for pizza sex dungeons, or the urban landlord worried about their property values. Its a story that appeals to the perpetually cowardly who imagine themselves constantly under attack, so the actual incidence of crime is almost irrelevant to the impact of the rhetoric except in the most vague 'number go up' kind of way. here's some posts from the chicago thread, going back to last september LargeHadron posted:https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shooting-humboldt-park-elderly-man-shot-police/10928722/ LargeHadron posted:I've had the same kind of thought before. I unfortunately found myself owning a home in a hotspot, and I've witnessed three shootings in the span of about a year and a half, all within spitting distance of my house. a_pineapple posted:https://twitter.com/ant_kneee/status/1443603606515638284?s=20 SamsCola posted:Apparently there was a shooting a couple blocks from me. Central Park and Wilson in Albany Park. 21 shell casings and one dead. Cops had the whole block cordoned off this morning. Hot Diggity! posted:It's because the shooting occurred in Millennium Park. There is zero chance the city would do this were it to occur elsewhere. It's just a convenient way to say "look what we're doing!" while ignoring the larger structural issues at hand.

and of course, the worst day of 2020 there were 18 people killed in a single day , but that was all over the city. and a kindergartner at a school my wife worked at was killed in a driveby in north side of chicago. we're in the burbs but several other kids have gotten killed here this fall. it's awful mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 05:10 on Nov 10, 2022 |

In order to reduce crime in Chicago you'd need to gut the cops first, as well as every politician, past or present, associated with the city.

Yo this poster is actually correct and we do have to rely on dead eyed tiktok dancers for any hope of good things happening in 2024 Luckily the Democratic party establishment, median age 73, will not realize that in any way

eXXon posted:I just want to know how this happens: quote:Bush’s mannerisms accidentally harmonized with Middle America’s, the very people who should be looking to lynch him for destroying their lives. But he’s got something they understand on some primordial mammal level. You’ve had to have had spent your youth avoiding homework, cheating on tests and spending weekends sucking a beer bong to speak like Bush does, particularly considering his Exeter/Yale/Harvard education. Amazingly, Bush’s inarticulate simplicity as well as his long years of coke-sniffing, drunk-driving sin are not only forgiven in Protestant Middle America, but are even considered virtues. In the Bible, Jesus says that God looks far more fondly upon someone who spends a life in sin and at the end repents than on a virtuous man who, at the end of life, allows himself to sin. So Bush played his cards right. Even Jesus apparently looks at him like a stand-up guy.

Does anyone here understand Alabama's vote on abolishing slavery? According to Ballotpedia, the voters actually revoked the part of the state constitution that abolishes slavery.

If you click through to Ballotpedia's source it says this: https://www.al.com/news/2022/03/alabama-constitution-of-2022-appears-to-be-on-its-way-to-voters-in-november.html quote:Section 32, which prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude, carries an exception, allowing involuntary servitude “for the punishment of crime, of which the party shall have been duly convicted.”

the decline in material conditions and erosion of social cohesion probably has lead to more crime, it's just not the sort from the movies boomers imagine and certainly not something more cops fixes. It's weird seeing folks who acknowledge those declines, but seem to think that decline is limited to their not being able to buy a house or get to retire.

The murder rate went up because gunfire became deadlier, because hospitals are collapsing. The number of people getting shot went down.

this whole conversation about crime in America is hilarious. there’s seriously a handful of goons in here telling people not to fear crime in the murder capital of the world wrt gun violence. add to that the inevitable increase in crime that comes with the more and more pronounced collapse of capitalism in this shithole year after year. and lol if you don’t think bourgeois media doesn’t lie about crime statistics

I love how public shootings that involve minorities dying in poorer areas are "rampant crime that must be stopped immediately" and all the other shootings of people in all the other locations of our day to day lives are just normal mass shootings, just some poo poo that happens, not anything we need to try to fix

It's almost like one specific type of violence is a symptom of the breaking down and fraying of society and it requires the single solution of applying more pressure with the jackboot and all politicians agree on that and fall over each other talking about the degree of firmness of the boot on the neck and all other violence it's like hey waddaya gonna do that's just life
