Horowitz: 10 ways Trump can push law and order – and make it stickTweeting out “Law and Order!†every few days with an exclamation mark is OK, but it’s little solace to this country when we are actually suffering from the most widespread and protracted period of anarchy and violence in the modern era. It’s time for Trump to act on law and order, push a winning legislative and budgetary agenda with safety and security as its cornerstone, and communicate those ideas every day to the silent majority looking to the president to fight back.
There is no need for federal action on the George Floyd case. It is getting swift justice. There is however, a need for federal action against the nationwide insurrection in nearly every state, blocking of roads and highways, dismantling and violent occupation of public and even private property, and rising crime from five years of weak-on-crime policies and neutralized police. Rather than promoting federal legislation to further incentivize weak policing and validate the false narrative of the mob, it’s time for Trump to champion a bold contrast addressing the needs of the silent majority of all races and creeds who want law and order, safety and security.
Every day Republicans spend validating the lies of BLM is another day when anarchy and Marxism will consume this country. Aside from the insurrection itself, the war on the police has caused massive increases in crime in major cities. There were 1,600 reports of gunfire in Minneapolis over the past 30 days, up 300 percent relative to the same period in 2019. Every weekend, Chicago, which has tough gun laws, becomes a lawless shootout, with black victims, including children, as casualties. Even New York, which became the safest major city over the past two decades, is now seeing rapid increases in shootings after the NYPD has been neutralized.
This is the true systemic crisis that requires a federal response. To that end, Trump should push the following provisions in stand-alone legislation and in the fiscal year 2021 budget at the end of September:
1. Funding for states that prosecute violent criminals ..................
2. Defund states that are sanctuaries for criminal aliens and anarchists............
3. Increase funding for court systems to expedite cases............
4. Toughen mandatory minimums for gun felons
5. A real anti-lynching bill.......
6. Anti–gang bill...........
7. Close court loopholes letting off violent criminals.........
8. Federalize the National Guard to protect interstates and property.........
9. Prosecute ANTIFA/BLM violent organizers and financers under anti-terrorism statutes:
10. Reimburse business owners for property damage.......
