I've already concluded that responding to Terapined's posts is mostly a waste of time, and sadly, I'm probably more inclined to agree with him than I am with you, on most things. My opinion is that most of his posts do not even make a half-hearted attempt to defend whatever point is being made anymore.

Rightie logic: Crime in big cities is the President’s fault during Democratic administrations and the local politicians’ fault during Republican presidencies. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Not this rightie. Most of the crime in big cities is because they are big cities. Local causes far outweigh the federal causes. I will say that ‘federal’ does add to the problem, with BLM supported by leaders, and not called out for the racist, violent organization that it is. But the local ‘no bail needed for most criminals’ and ‘we won’t arrest you for only stealing $900’ are basically incentivizing crime. Those are Democrat/Progressive policies. Other than funneling more money to police departments nationwide, there is little the Biden administration can do to curb crime. Local governments can do a lot, but in most Democrat cities they have decided that locking up a criminal tends to be racist, and they’d rather have criminals free on the streets than be (wrongly) considered racist. Above also answers terapined’s question about ‘what would you do’. I’d RAISE the amount needed for bail for ALL crimes. |

They automatically support BLM by virtue of being black men who play basketball is what you’re saying? That sounds a little, uh, you know… "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I think it is kind of like assuming blacks support Jesse Jackson. Many do, but the smart ones realize the damage he does and cannot stand him. The President is a fink. |

We seem to be cycling back. Urban crime happened but was not the huge issue pre-1960s. By the late 1960s though cities started becoming less and less livable, reaching a nadir in the late 1970s. There was complaint of "white flight" as anyone who could bugged out. Nixon then later Reagan took the position that we needed to clean up the cities. How much their leading by example helped can be debated, but starting in the late 1980s cities started to become desirable living again. Putting the ballpark in the city was making more sense than putting it out in the sticks by itself. Apartments and condos in downtown areas. The word "gentrification" was coined, and there was complaint of whites "gentrifying out" non-whites. Meanwhile bail and criminal penalties were being called "mean" and eliminated. This is almost as if pols would rather have more crime but no gentrification to keep their jobs. Yes, I am cynical enough to believe there are pols who think that way. The President is a fink. |

I really thought you were speaking of the Bureau of Land Management until I got to your last sentence. It makes more sense now. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
