The most accurate explanation for the rise in crime in America

The most accurate explanation for the rise in crime in America
Opinion by Cal Thomas
 

Walking along a street in Madrid in the 1970s after a late-night supper, I asked a local resident if there was much crime in the city. When he replied, "hardly any," I asked why? "No repeaters," he said.

Dictator Francisco Franco was still running Spain and dictatorships can get away with things a constitutional republic cannot, but Franco was on to something the U.S. seems to have forgotten. Swift and certain punishment is a major deterrent to people who might be thinking about breaking laws.
 
Of all the explanations for the rise in crime in America, none may be more accurate than the lack of swift and certain punishment.

The Daily Mail has summarized some of the bigger stores that have closed due to looting and the failure of district attorneys to punish them and other criminals. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon warned last December that thefts were at record levels. With thieves undeterred, McMillon ordered the closing of 17 stores in nine states.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I really feel one of the unintended consequences of women's lib is the rising crime rate.  Where the thuggish behavior of many men was moderated by women, many women have taken on the thuggish male behavior in an effort to prove how dominant they can be.  I hear F-bombs everywhere from women; many dress like men; they have gotten into American business with its take no prisoners mentality; many have rejected family; teen girls in gangs and involved in more crime.  I'm not blaming women, only suggesting what used be a moderating influence is disappearing as they attempt to give themselves more freedom.

Where is the rise in (violent) crime mostly taking place? Big cities with large black populations.
Incidents like thieves ransacking stores stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise or carjackings were rare news stories in the old days. The old days being about ten-twenty years ago.
Criminals knew that punishment of either long prison terms or in extreme cases death awaited them if they committed serious acts.
Obviously, violent criminals no longer fear being apprehended and punished.
Who is responsible for the dramatic spike in carjackings? Young, black males. With the increase of black officials and or leftist mayors in mayoral and DA offices who treat violent black males leniently, the thugs have become emboldened. If they're caught, many times they're let go with either minimal or no bail.
Until swift and stern punishment for those types of crimes returns, those types of crimes will keep on rising.

Chicken$h!t progressive and popularist politicians didn't stand up against the CRT and BLM nonsense, and had their law enforcement officials abandon the "broken window" regime of policing that made NYC liveable in the 1990s.

Yep, with one addition. In areas where strict gun control laws are the norm, crime tends to be higher as well. The instant Karma that can be found in Castle Doctrine states with constitutional carry acts as a direct deterrent. You can't plea bargain with a bullet.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Article in nutshell explained about 3000 years ago by King Solomon. As true today as it was then.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. - Ecclesiastes 8:11

I can't find that study, and the image states it is hosted at 9gagfun (so I don't trust it)....

This I can find... Source: 2020-Minnesota-Uniform-Crime-Report PDF (found online)



Shows about the same thing, but black population around 8% instead of 6% and blacks (with lower population) do more than double the damage (homocide) as whites do. That is not even taking in account the variable of "unknown race" not being assigned (and you can guess where it would lean into).

They, the problem, can't be fixed. Sure it can. In one generation. Pay low IQ people to not breed. Neuter and sterilize.
The chances of that happening. ZERO!!!!

Not being able to breed should be the #1 criteria for anybody receiving government assistance for more than[fill-in-the-blank] months.

Wanna continue??  Snip...snip!

Prior to the 60s, Blacks retained marriage better than whites. They were more inclined toward two-parent families. The old man was in the house, and had a job. they were about even with whites in regard to Christian, church-going principles.

Find out what happened to that and you will find the answer.

And of course it can be fixed... in a single generation.
