Depopulation, under a billion folks, is their goal.

It’s the only explanation why they let Mexico empty their prisons over here at the same time they are trying to disarm us. This is in addition to not vetting for Covid.

It’s the only explanation why they haven’t used prophylactic’s such as Vitamins to avoid COVID and made illegal what the rest of the world is using for a cure. It’s also the reason they haven’t pulled the COVID vaccine that even the government says has killed more than 5k when all other vaccines have been pulled if they kill as much as 50.

I want to click all the above. Too many people in this country have lost all morals. Many do not want to hear that there is right and wrong. Respect police, honor vets. Bring back the good America used to be. Trump please. I’ll take his policies and bad text messages any day over the Bumbing Idiot Destroying an Excellent Nation. aka BIDEN

Action should have consequences. Letting criminals out of jail early or not prosecuting them, just makes them more embolden to continue. .

This, like CRT, Antifa, BLM, masking mandates, Green New Deal, unchecked illegal border crossing, free college tuition and SCOTUS packing are simply organized plans to destroy our Constitution, our two-party system of government and our economic prosperity. This plan originated in this country over a century ago, but it’s implementation was done quietly. Now that the indoctrination has become commonplace in the leadership ranks, there is no longer a need to hide or deny its presence. Corrective measures could be enacted to return to effective law enforcement if our justice department wasn’t part of the problem and our judges weren’t political puppets. And our southern border could be secured very quickly, eliminating entry of illegal aliens, gang members and lethal illegal drugs, but that will not happen. This is all simply the means to the obvious goal….that being a Marxist State.

We do not need to refund police, but give them latitude to enforce the law, and courts that are just to pass judgment. People lack the respect for law enforcement folks. People show this lack of respect by not obeying what cops tell them to do.

The headline states “Leaving many perplexed” The problem is NOT perplexing. Criminals have been taught to break the law. The solution should not be perplexing either. In red states and cities, law abiding residents do the right thing by jailing offenders. In blue states and cities, law abiding residents ARE perplexed by the collaboration between criminals and the elected officials. Patriotic citizens in blue zones, get the hell out. There is NO hope. Let them burn.

The Sherriff has a point however the mouthiness, vulgarity and incivility can be traced to the general moral decay of the nation. Much of this is due to the television/film and recording industries who celebrate these activities, parents who are “too busy” to be involved in their children’s lives and a broken education system that indoctrinates rather than educates.

Well for goodness sake Cory Bush DOES NOT PAY FOR HER SECURITY you do, I do and every other American who pays taxes does. The nitwit should be made to pay for her own security. SHOW us (taxpayers) the “threat” you are full of inert gas! Every time I leave the house or go shopping I am under threat-I’m old, female, carry a handbag and wear wedding rings, neck chain, but she wants to defund my security!!! My hat is off and my heart is thankful to all the men and women who continue to take the crap that nit wit dishes out and stand to protect me and mine…Thank you men/women in blue, gray, green or whatever color your law enforcement agency uses. One more comment..Ms Bush if America is so bad and wrong may I, respectfully, suggest you go to that Country you know is so much better…we would all be better off with bird brains like you gone.

Basic disregard for society. Lack of moral compass. Activist judges who hand slap crime – no hard deterrents. Local, state and federal officials demoralizing the police force because of their own arrogant “wisdom”. They are godless and don’t respect authority. In addition, those making the decisions suffer no repercussions or accountability. Taxpayers foot the bill for many officials security and that is absolutely wrong. In relation to this, taxpayers should be protesting this and moving forward to pass laws that many government employees must pay for their own security out of their pocket (without pay increases for the officials to offset the cost). Many government officials are now elitists who think they do not have to listen to citizens anymore.

Bothersome crime is mostly violent crime. Young men (under 35 years) are vastly over-represented in acts of violent crime. Fatherless young men are also over-represented in violent crime.
Restore the nuclear family and lower violent crime rates. The police have known all this for decades. The media STILL refuse to acknowledge these facts…

Actually, the unelected politicians–traitors–who stole the 2020 election and being dictated how to run the America by the CCP – and tech oligarchs in Washington DC, democrats & rinos in every state — these are the true criminals. The great reset is happening right before our eyes. We have to fight for election integrity and vote for pro-life candidates in 2022. God have mercy on us!

Abhorrent as all this is, it is my opinion that (prophetically speaking) the US must decrease in global significance… there is no room for the USA to come riding to the rescue once the anti-christ takes over as the top global leader.

The socialist left does not recognize they are the minions who are bringing about the environment necessary for the completion of final end times prophecy.

On the opposite side of that coin, who is attempting to take over the economic lead in international trade? Communist China.
Who has released a debilitating biological agent upon the nations of the world? Communist China.
Who has the 200,000,000 man military force predicted to invade the Middle East? Communist China.

Let them who have ears (or eyes, in this case)…

The Democrats have also assumed the illegals entering our Southern Border will join the Democratic Party and vote for Democrat agendas. But what if they don’t?? Why would anybody want to leave their Third World Country, endure a multi week trek across hostile terrain and finally give a lot of money to some unknown Coyote to lead them across the Rio Grande just so they can vote for the same crap that made them leave their own fatherland in the first place?? High crime rates will be the first hint that maybe the trip wasn’t worth it!! The massive corruption in this Country which is obvious to anybody that watches real news instead of MSM is the second hint!! When they are finally asked to contribute their fair share to the Left’s garbage agenda and candidates, reducing the anticipated size of their nest egg, might be the final straw!!

In the days of old, we use to hear stories of mountain men who had cabin fever from being isolated for months with no human interaction. We are seeing a world which has been isolated for over a year, and this has created a ‘cabin fever for many individuals. Unfortunately, when they act out it can be in disastrous ways.

The lack of prosecution of crimes is a big contributor. Even if caught by police most are just let go in cities/states that have eliminated bail, made tons of crimes misdemeanors, negotiate/bargain on every case, etc. etc. Progressivism in our courts is going to ruin this Country as criminals are emboldened. Enforce the laws we have and that were working before!

Most of the suggested responses are okay, I guess, but the real underlying reason has not been included. Namely, this is all by DESIGN and the thieves, looters, rioters et al are willing stooges advancing their own demise. The end goal, although few recognize it, is to destabilize this nation to the extent that the UN “peacekeepers” get called in to restore order, and to wrest power from Washington (if not the people) to bring us to heel as one more member state of one world government. Crime, racial divisiveness, stolen elections, welfare for all, open borders, no thinking person in his right mind could see these things leading to any sort of positive outcomes, yet here we are.

People have turned their backs on God. They have no moral standing anymore. Children do not know who Jesus is, have never seen the inside of a church and are darn proud of it, let alone recognize the fact that there is a God somewhere in the universe. Their mothers (parents if any) have fallen away from early beliefs, some mothers never were exposed to early beliefs or rejected them. The USA is in a sad situation in more ways than just rampant crime.

A clearly recognizable pattern is that nearly all the rioting, looting, anarchy, robberies, assaults, and homicides are happening in Democrat-controlled cities. Worse, Democrats who run these cities are allied directly or indirectly with radical left fringe groups and have done nothing to stop the violence. De-funding police and reducing manpower on the streets has emboldened criminals, as has a “no bail” policy (i.e., New York City, for example) where criminals go through a revolving door, released back on to the streets to terrorize citizens again. This is sheer insanity on parade and it must be stopped! The ONLY way it will be brought under control is by the election of principled conservatives who respect law and order, who are moral leaders that honor both our U.S. Constitution and their state constitutions, and who will not tolerate rampant crime.

The mainstream media is largely complicit in covering for failed Democrat politicians, either downplaying the rising crime rate through liberal hack commentators who are not even true journalists, or by not reporting breaking crime stories. Somewhere between these two extremes, leftist media outlets have also attempted to shift blame on the Republicans, citing pro-gun 2nd Amendment advocates for the rising rates of gun violence. They conveniently avoid mentioning that Americans who stand behind our 2nd Amendment “right to bear arms” are not criminals, but law-abiding citizens. They also avoid discussions about the breakdown of the American family and other forms of social dysfunction as a primary trigger behind increased crime, particularly in urban communities. And the leftist media is careful not to point an accusing finger at the unchecked illegal immigration crisis on our southern border where human traffickers, criminal gangs, and Mexican drug smugglers contribute to the rising crime problem —- all in a consistent effort to shield the Biden administration.

The 2022 Mid-Term Elections could not come soon enough.

The poll questions ignore the BASIC problem. We have walked away from God’s precepts. He warned that IF we choose to not honor his commandments & seek other gods ( society pressures, government programs, glorification of absence of His precepts ) that what we are seeing in the world WOULD be the result. No programs or incentives will fix the turmoil now present in this age. We must return to Him . . . or we’re doomed to continue swirling down this world’s whirlpool.

Social media has added to this violence. Young people seriously feel they are on stage 24/7. Those with gang affiliations and without morals are not only emboldened by the lack of law enforcers, but also by the fact that they will have been televised or instagram coverage. I have contact with young people daily. Believe me, they do not think like nor experience life as their parents, grandparents and older generations do.

It started in Baltimore when Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake permitted the African-Americans to commit riot and arson during the Freddie Gray case, and also denigrated the Baltimore police. The sentiment was instantly picked up across the blue states – unless the blue-prints were already in place – just needed an even to be put into action – in whichever blue state. And yet folks voted for the Democrats/Lefties…! Go figure!

Its pure ignorance of law and order.
If you buy into the democrat lies, then everything is about racism, class envy,hate, divisiveness and designed to divide and insipre fear and suspicsion.
Breaking the law is breaking the law.
The laws are for everyone, specifically for the purpose of a safe and orderly socieity.
All Citizens know this, our children should be taught this by their parents,and the useless democrats may want to set the proper example, by following them ( eg: immigration) not giving looters,rioters and theives a free pass.
It doesnt really matter your color, pink, green,orange, laws are laws- SIMPLE.
Wake up America , for over 50 years the communist,corrupt, dishonest democrats, and others have been fleecing Our Country, while the same LIE is played over and over and over again, to keep you distracted and divided.
Time to end this and remove the real problem, the dividers , the democrats!!

The criminals have been empowered by the anti-Police policies of the left – especially the current administration. Most crimes are committed by blacks and since they now can do so with virtual impunity, of course the crime rates are increasing.

Why the surging scourge of crime 2020 ~ 2021? Ignorance (Stupidity). Criminal minds have always been brazen and cavalier. And, Yes, for decades, mischievous, Mendacious mob-minded media agitators have perpetuated perplexing feigned compassion to protect illiberal Democrats who are constantly soliciting bitter, enraged victims – for handouts (e.g., for illegal aliens, “infrastructure,” green “climate” deal, abortion, etc.) that sustain power and control – in a delusional cycle of “persecution” and suffering. Isn’t it demoralizing to law enforcement officers and lawful-minded, civil citizens seeking happiness, well-being, and peace of mind? Profanity, vulgarity and Uncivilly – as Sheriff David Clarke attests – have roots in Ignorance. With sincerity, compassion, and courage, we’ll promote gratitude for life, freedom, and beloved America to prevail over ignorance.

The problem is the liberalization of the criminal punishment system. Criminals know the police nor the prison guards can harm them. They also know they can plea bargain their major crimes away. The death penalty is dead and so murder is profitable in most cities.

You dont have the main reason for the rise in crime. Simply, its the turnstile laws in mostly Democratic Cities. We MUST remove violent criminals off the street and KEEP THEM OFF. The laws / punishments need to be more harsh with no forgiveness since most of these criminals show no forgiveness to their victims and they will no doubt commit the crimes again is given the chance. Dont give them the chance. Stop the compassion for evil violent criminals who would rape or attack your mom or daughter. Have some compassion for the law abiding citizens who want to live free of fear.

I feel the media has a lot to do with the problems we’re facing today. They show us all the violence, tell us about all the corruption, & NOTHING ever gets done about it. I also feel that the lack of teaching religion & the lack of knowledge about God’s laws has a great deal to do with kid’s attitudes of today. Krushchev warned us years ago about exactly what’s happening today. He said the Russians would take over our country without firing a shot: & so it is.

One example this year: Police shot 13-year old girl that had knife & was attacking other people. Labron James posted name & address of that police person ____ and added “You are Next”. I guess Labron would rather see innocent people killed that the knife person. But in reality, Labron considered this racial & wanted to create more riots against police. Labron was wrong, wrong, wrong.

We must support law enforcement again, or why will people want that job. The Jan 6th Capitol riot is a good example of the police officers being attacked. And some of our Senators think that was peaceful & Trump has come out this was a loving crowd. If you attack police like that, you should be locked up for a long time. These are grown-ups that should know right from wrong. Seattle & Portland were great cities 20-years ago & just look at what Defund Police & the slap on wrist to those that break laws are ruining both places. Law enforcement has been treated like the bad people for the last couple of years by those cities & so what do you expect to get.

I would have liked to see Social Media as one of the choices. Social Media has become as nasty as anyone can imagine. If someone expresses an opinion, they are likely to receive dozens, if not hundreds, of responses, saying that they deserve to die. They will make every attempt to get them fired, ousted from “polite” society, and bullied into submission. People hide behind screen names and their anoniymity emboldens them until nothing is off limits. I would love to see all Social Media go away, and Twitter in particular.

On the face value Defund the Police makes no sense to the average citizen. What if the true goal of Defund the Police is to create a totally corrupt environment using ANTIFA, BLM and CRT as the tools. The Citizens would eventually demand a solution. The Government response could be the installation of a federal police force in all of these cities. Given the corruption in our government and election system we could end up with a political police force enforcing the liberal agenda which would quickly turn these cities into socialist hell holes. Once the major cities are under the control of this Federal Political Police Force (FPPF) the suburbs would be next.

Where would this FPPF come from? Take a close look at what the FBI has become. They spend years and millions of dollars in an effort to over through a legitimately elected president by attacking his associates and fabricating lies. The is all done with full support of the corrupt main stream media, social media and political parasites. While this attack on our values is being conducted The Fraud Administration is placed in power by a corrupt election system that cannot be questioned. To top this off crimes of The Fraud Administration are ignored. If you want to see how far the FBI has degenerated watch the movie The FBI Story with Jimmy Stewart. The movie is old but it will help you to see the drastic decay.

Keep in mind that six million Jews were killed by Germans following orders. Then look at the hatred and intolerance of ANTIFA, BLM and CRT. Which is supported and reinforced by social media, main stream media and the political parasites.

As an educator, parent and a friend, I have observed patterns of defiant, rebellious , selfish behavior with no respect for authority, in child that have factors in common.
One is absence of deliberate and purposeful training. Children that had parents , especially a father , that set high expectations, equipped and taught responsibility, respect for authority and learns right from wrong we’re mor confident and secure. Children without have no compass to train, equip and set expectation seem to have a harder time leaving home , getting and keeping a job, and maintaining interpersonal relationships.
While family is the foundation
that all learning is build upon, schools have a powerful opportunity to equip young people with the knowledge to function as contributing citizens.
It’s saddens me to think of all the time, energy and money that goes into our education system yet kids don’t know the basics about how our government works on all levels , city , county, state and federal levels . Basic laws , what happens when you don’t follow the and how to make changes for the better. to be financially responsible, how to invest, how to care for themselves and /or someone else , a child or elderly person.
Do you know what the amazing thing is much knowledge is found in God’s Word .Are judicial system is inspired by it, and God wants the best life for us and His Word helps us to teach us that yet, Even though this country was founded on the wisdom and knowledge found in His word, It’s historical influence has been almost totally eradicated from our education system.
Young people without a direction living life by their emotions and feelings seem leadto Frustrated,anxious , overwhelmed and discouraged. They regress to almost child like throwing tantrums and acting out. I’ve watched those who hadn’t had to work for anything. Money , food , clothing was just handed to them time and time again yet they didn’t work, barely did chores, or were invoked in other organizations. Often they are were into video games and watched a lot of TV. These children/youn adults seeme unable to get their feet on the ground to stand on their own. They keep coming back to whoever is doing the giving. And there seems to be no regard that they are straining and depleting the financial resources of those people who are giving to them. It’s as if it’s expected. Many tend to get frequently angry and easily get into arguments, fights or illegal drugs
On the other hand, children who have been given limits, learned to think of others , learned to do chores around the house,play on a team, work alongside their parent or given responsibility such as taking care of a sibling are more confident, responsible, less angry and disrespectful, seem to enjoy life more and have healthy Relationships with their family members and others outside of it.I’ve written this quickly and there’s so much more that could’ve been said . I do know there are some great things happening with some amazing young people out there Doing some really good things but we have too many who are angry and destructive.
