Oct 17, 2023 ~ .@IDF, "We just eliminated Ayman Nofal, a senior Hamas operative." Last week the IDF elimated Ali Qadi, another Hamas commander. Both of these terrorists had large, high profile roles in planning and coordinating the Oct 7 attack on Israel that killed over 1300 people.
Oct 16, 2023 ~ An ISIS terrorist shot two people dead in Brussels. He open fired on a group of Swedes wearing football jerseys. A third victim is in serious condition. "Allahu Akabar," he shouted. Of course "Allahu Akabar" every time. God is the greatest!
Oct 16, 2023 ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali, 'Hamas is another ISIS - whatever Western idiots say'
"Outside the Sydney Opera House, about 1,000 protesters lit flares and waved Palestinian flags — and some were filmed chanting: 'Gas the Jews.'
In the U.S., meanwhile, 31 student groups at Harvard signed an open letter claiming that the 'Israeli regime' was 'entirely responsible for all unfolding violence', while California's Stanford University displayed a banner declaring that Palestine would be made free 'by any means necessary' — a sinister slogan that tacitly justifies Hamas's slaughter of children in pursuit of its aims.
Not to be outdone, the Chicago 'chapter' of the Black Lives Matter movement posted an image of a paraglider alongside the slogan 'I stand with Palestine'. The reference, of course, was to Hamas paragliders who descended on Israel's Supernova music festival last Saturday to rape and butcher at least 260 young people.
In short, anti-Semites the world over have been emboldened by this crisis, and Jews are once again being blamed for their own massacre. And I am not remotely surprised. In my childhood, I was steeped in the Islamist movement's noxious anti-Semitism — which has been on such ugly display this week.
Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, I spent my early years escaping political strife after my father was imprisoned for being an anti-government activist. We moved between countries before settling in Kenya.
The worst insult in the Somali community was to be called a 'Jew', not that any of us actually knew one. To be called a 'Jew' was so abhorrent, some felt justified in killing anyone who so dishonoured them with this 'slur'.
As a teenager in Nairobi in the 1980s, I joined the Muslim Brotherhood — the strict Sunni Islamist movement, founded in Egypt in 1928, from which Hamas ultimately descends.
I vividly remember sitting with my female fellows in mosques, cursing Israel and praying to Allah to destroy the Jews. We were certainly not interested in a peaceful 'two-state solution': we were taught to want to see Israel wiped off the map.
When I was 16, my school's teacher of religion was Sister Aziza. She read to us the Koran's lurid descriptions of the everlasting fire that burns flesh and dissolves skin — the place reserved for Jews.
Sister Aziza described Jews as physically monstrous, with horns coming from their heads, out of which flew devils that would corrupt the world. Jews controlled everything, she told us, and it was the duty of Muslims to destroy them."
Until the world is ready to admit the problem is encoded into Islam itself, we will never understand or solve this problem.
Oct 16, 2023 ~ Is the world getting sick of left wing authoritarianism? Republican Jeff Landry won the governor's race in previously deep blue Louisiana. After booting out tyrannical dictator Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s next prime minister will be Christopher Luxon of the center-right National Party and he will lead a coalition with Act, a smaller libertarian party. Also, center right Daniel Noboa beats leftists to win Ecuador’s presidential election.
Oct 16, 2023 ~ Former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien warns about Biden's open border policies: "The border is open. Thousands of military-age males from adversary nations enter the United States without women or children every day. Suppose only one-tenth of one percent of the millions of people who have crossed into America illegally over the past three years have malign intentions against our country. In that case, we have a serious national security problem."
Oct 15, 2023 ~ Huge anti-Israel protest in London after Hamas conducts worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Surprise: London is 16% Muslim due to recent immigration. Without firing a shot, Islam is taking over Europe again. Some openly admit this is their goal.
Oct 15, 2023 ~ Matthew Continetti, 'The Shame of Academe' You many have known that so called 'higher education' institutions are toxic cesspools of hate that would cancel you for using the wrong pronoun but many are sad to discover how much pure antisemitism exists on these campuses. Worse is that the same left wing groups are staging large anti-Israel, pro Hamas demonstrations all over the world in cities like NYC, London, Toronto, Sydney etc. Chanting antisemitic slogans including "Gas the Jews."
Oct 15, 2023 ~ Michelle Goldberg calls out the anti-semitism left in @nytimes article, 'The Massacre in Israel and the Need for a Decent Left.' She describes how Jewish Democrats are so surprised and disappointed by the amount of antisemitism coming from the left after the attack on Israel. Over 30 left wing student organizations at Harvard alone signed support for Hamas and the Palestinians after the massacre. Colleges all over the world are similar. Left wing organizations like #BLM and DSA also support the murdering, raping, baby killing terrorists. Normal Democrats seem to have no clue that their side (which falsely but routinely calls normal political opponants Nazis) is the one who has become the actual Nazis, cheering and celebrating the killing of Jews. "People who had lost close friends or family, or young Jews “completely shattered by the response of their lefty friends in New York,” who were either justifying Hamas’s atrocities or celebrating them outright. …the way keyboard radicals have condoned war crimes against Israelis has left many progressive Jews alienated from political communities they thought were their own."
Oct 14, 2023 ~ Unsurprisingly, Rep. @Ilhan Omar spreads lies about Israel. She claims to show "614 Palestinian children murdered by the Israeli IOF Forces," using a picture more than 10 years old of a sarin gas attack launched by Assad against E. Ghouta, Syria.
Oct 14, 2023 ~ Melissa Koenig, 'Trans cyclists take gold and silver in Chicago women's races' "Two transgender cyclists took home gold and silver at a women’s cycling event in Chicago... Tessa Johnson won first place in the Women’s Single Speed and Cat Half categories at the Chicago CycloCross Cup (CCC) while Evelyn Williamson placed second in the Single Speed contest." Down to one actual woman on the podium in a woman's race. Soon there will be none.
Oct 13, 2023 ~ Australia is about to bulldoze old-growth forests that contain endangered koala bear habitats to put up wind turbines. They are harming a beloved endangered species and clearing old-growth forest land in service to a cult that does more environmental harm than good.
Oct 13, 2023 ~ Seth Grossman, '13 Basic Facts to Defend Israel' Very good article explaining the history of Israel and the Palestinians. Bookmark...
Oct 13, 2023 ~ Hamas orders 10/13 to be a Jihad 'Day of Rage.' A Jewish teacher was stabbed to death in Arras, France, after a Muslim asylum seeker shouted "Allahu akbar!" The terrorist stabbed 2 others, gravely wounding them. Then an Israeli diplomat was stabbed in broad daylight in Beijing.
Oct 13, 2023 ~ You can't make this up. California just passed a law creating an 'Ebony alert' to be used as an Amber Alert for missing black people. CA also has a 'feather alert' to be used for missing Indian people. Just when you think the left cannot get any more ridiculous and divisive. Bill Maher says Democrats are so adicted to playing 'identity politics', they are even "segregating kidnapping."
Oct 13, 2023 ~ Ha ha, @ClimateDefiance ran Pete Buttigeig out on a rail for not being able to end all fossil fuels in transportation. "We just chased Secretary Pete Buttigieg off the stage at the Meyerhoff Symphony," the idiots brag. He tried to debate them but leftists don't debate.
Oct 13, 2023 ~ EU pinhead Thierry Breton accuses @elonmusk of allowing X to spread 'disinformation.' Threatens big fines if X does not comply to his censorship. Musk tells Thierry to shove it! BTW if you asked AI to generate the perfect name for an EU pinhead, it would say 'Thierry Breton.'
Oct 13, 2023 ~ EU pinhead Thierry Breton accuses @elonmusk of allowing X to spread 'disinformation.' Threatens big fines if X does not comply to his censorship. Musk tells Thierry to shove it! BTW if you asked AI to generate the perfect name for an EU pinhead, it would say 'Thierry Breton.'
Oct 10, 2023 ~ Biden can't stop trying to buy votes by forgiving student loan debt even after the Supreme Court told him he doesn't have the authority to do so. He creates the Public Service Loan Forgiveness via EO. "I'm announcing my administration has approved an additional $9 billion in relief for 125,000 borrowers... With the latest debt cancellation, in total, my administration has canceled $127 billion in student debts for nearly 3.6 million Americans."
Oct 10, 2023 ~ In a #MeToo #CancelCulture gone wrong, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer lost his very promising (Cy Young winner) career over false accusations of rape. Video evidence shows no bruises on her face the morning after that she claimed the attack. Texts to her friend revealed these accusations were part of a plan to extort him for money. "Next victim. Star pitcher for the dodgers." "Im going to his house wednesday … I already have my hooks in … You know how I roll … need daddy to choke me out … Being an absolute WHORE to try to get in on his 51 million..."
Oct 10, 2023 ~ Spencer Lindquist, "A Black Mountain Climber Ruined A Man’s Career With False Accusation Of ‘Racism,’ Lawsuit States" Johnathan Talbot was fired by Outdoor Research after Manoah Ainuu of North Face accused him of being a racist. Talbot introduced himself to Ainuu who decided some questions he had made him a racist and demanded Outdoor Research fire him. His post was very bizarre and unhinged but he never specified anything and later admitted Talbot didn't say anything racist. Outdoor Research did the typical cowardly thing of firing Talbot without cause and issuing a statement that they are against racism and discriminatory behavior. An opinion Talbot shares. Outdoor Research investigated "and their findings affirmed that there was no basis for the accusations against me." But they fired him anyway to protect the brand. It turns out Ainuu has a long history of false accusations of racism. Ari Novak, a movie producer and ice climber, told The Daily Wire that he’s known Ainuu for six years and has “personally observed him ‘race bait’ multiple individuals aggressively and then claim they ‘wanted to fight him.’ I found this behavior so disturbing that I asked him to move out of my home in 2020. There are many cases of Manoah threatening physical altercations and then claiming victimhood under the banner of racial bias,” Novak said. “As a highly paid outdoor athlete Manoah’s whole brand is rooted in racial confrontation.” Novak gave specific examples and then "He’s always trying to create a situation where he can have a fight over race. It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with him not being stable. Literally anybody can bump into Manoah and suddenly he decides they’re racist, and they could lose their job.”
Oct 10, 2023 ~ After Palestinian terrorists enact the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust (over 1000 dead inc. many children and elderly, people burned alive in their homes, 100s kidnapped and raped, The Democratic Socialists of America blame Israel and express solidarity with her attackers. "DSA is steadfast in expressing our solidarity with Palestine. Today’s events are a direct result of Israel’s apartheid regime."
Oct 10, 2023 ~ Hank Berrian, "WaPo Confirms That Iran Played ‘Key’ Role In Hamas Attack On Israel" Despite the Biden admin insisting there is no evidence Iran was involved, both the @WSJ an @washingtonpost and Hamas confirm that Iran played a 'key' role in the attack.
Oct 10, 2023 ~ After Palestinian terrorists enact the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust (over 1000 dead inc. many children and elderly, people burned alive in their homes, 100s kidnapped and raped, #BLM says: "I stand with Palestine" under a picture of a para terrorist - a direct reference to the Hamas terrorists who parachuted into a music festival and mowed down over 300 defenseless teens and other young people who tried to hide as best they could. The terrorists were constantly laughing as they shot the kids.
Oct 9, 2023 ~ George M. Perry, 'Gender Ideology in Sports Harms Men, Too' A 'non-binary' category provides mediocre men a way to get prize money ahead of countless other higher performing men who get nothing because they foolishly were honest about their gender.
Oct 9, 2023 ~ San Francisco like many other Democrat run, crime ridden hell holes continues to lose businesses which just can't remain open in lawless war zones with druggies living on the streets. Starbucks is closing 7 more locations in San Fran. About 40 other stores have already closed.
Oct 9, 2023 ~ In Switzerland, Alain Soral was sentenced to 60 days in jail for calling another journalist a "fat lesbian" and was fined thousands of Swiss francs. Be thankful for the 1st amendment free speech rights we have in the US. Democrats would love to eliminate the 1st amendment.
Oct 9, 2023 ~ The latest #BLM hoax. LeKeian Woods. The fake narrative: he "was left unrecognizable after three white Florida cops beat him severely by kicking and smashing his face into the pavement during a brutal arrest for 'not wearing a seatbelt.'" He was not arrested for a seatbelt. He was a suspect of armed cocaine and meth trafficking, tampering with evidence, possession of a controlled substance, probation violation and more. He fled and hit his face on the pavement due to being tased violently resisting arrest. One of the arresting officers was Black. The #BLM narratives are always false.
Oct 9, 2023 ~ Gavin Newsom replaces the late Dianne Feinstein with Laphonza Butler @LaphonzaB, a Black lesbian who doesn't even live in California. Why pick a Californian to represent California when you can check THREE 'oppression' boxes in one person: black, gay, woman. This is the left.
Oct 9, 2023 ~ Katie Pavlich, 'New Month, Same Old Censorship From Big Tech' "Stories addressing the government’s response to COVID, the border invasion, climate change, and more have all been demonetized in an effort to pressure us into no longer discussing these important topics. That's what Big Tech does. They demonetize stories on topics they don't want the truth told about in order to strong-arm us into not writing about them at all. It's the most egregious type of corporate censorship and an attempt to deprive us of the revenue we need to survive and keep telling the truth."
Oct 9, 2023 ~ AnitaB.org held the Grace Hopper Celebration, an annual convention and career fair intended for “women and non-binary technologists.” They were annoyed at how many males claimed to be 'non-binary' to join the event. "Some of you lied on your gender identity to register." This is ridiculous. They opened up the event to 'non-binary' people and then they dare to tell people they are not 'non-binary?' Newsflash: NO ONE is 'non-binary' because its a totally fake thing. If they didn't want people falsely claiming to be 'non-binary,' they should not have opened the event 'non-binary' people.
Oct 8, 2023 ~ Andrew C. McCarthy, 'Jihadist War against Israel: It Is the Reason Hamas Exists' From the Hamas Charter:
"Allah is our objective, the Prophet is our leader, the Quran is our law, Jihad is our way, and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. Thus is the charter blunt in proclaiming: Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts. It is a step that inevitably should be followed by other steps. The Movement is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished and Allah’s victory is realised."
Unabashedly, Hamas vows to “raise the banner of Jihad in the face of the oppressors, so that they would rid the land and the people of their uncleanliness, vileness and evils.” The charter roots this mission of Hamas in Muslim scripture:
"The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders . . . [I]f the links have been distant from each other and if obstacles, placed by those who are the lackeys of Zionism in the way of the fighters obstructed the continuation of the struggle, the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realization of Allah’s promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.
This story is drawn from the al-Bukhari and Muslim hadiths — collections of the sayings and doings of Mohamed."
Oct 8, 2023 ~ Flashback: Trump said this on 9/11. "Can you believe that Crooked Joe Biden is giving $6 Billion to the terrorist regime in Iran? That money [will] be used for terrorism all over the Middle East, and, indeed, the World. This incompetent FOOL is absolutely destroying America."
Oct 8, 2023 ~ Hamas carries out a massive surprise attack against Israel 2 weeks after Biden unfreezes $6 billion dollars to Iran and had previously restarted funding the Palestinians after Trump had cut that off. Thousands of rockets are shot into civilian areas plus the ground invasion kills over 1300, injures over 4000 and kidnaps over 200 hostages to use as human shields and for raping (many were young women). Rape and murder victims are paraded around the streets. Over 100 people were massacred in the Kfar Aza kibbutz alone; almost the entire community wiped out in the most brutal way possible. Many were tortured before death including children - eyes cut out of their heads, fingers cut off, decapitations. "We see blood spread out in homes. We've found bodies of people who have been butchered... beheaded children of varying ages, ranging from babies to slightly older children," along with adults who had also been dismembered. Victims were found bound and tortured. Hezbollah joins the fight against Israel. This is the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. General Patraeus said that this attack on Israel was proportionally 13 times worse than the 9/11 attack on the US, "This is the equivalent of the US having experienced over 40,000 losses, rather than the 3,000 terrible losses that we sustained in the attacks of 9/11." Muslim celebrations of the carnage occur ALL over the world. "God is Great!" and "Allahu Akbar." Israel is preparing its response...
Oct 6, 2023 ~ Biden posts a graphic showing his alleged "job creation" several times higher than almost all presidents since Reagan and shows Trump's job creation as negative. This is one of the most dishonest political claims of all time. Absent the pandemic which was out of Trump's control, Trump's economy and job creation was far better than Biden's. And most of Biden's "job creation" was people RETURNING to the workforce after a MANDATORY shutdown.
Oct 3, 2023 ~ Wesley Yang explains why Jazz Jennings who once was the 'poster child' for puberty blockers and early transition is now "a total refutation of all their claims." "The reason glorifying Jazz Jennings as a "girl brain in a boy body" to Kindergartners is bad is that Jazz was castrated and had his penis removed on television in a botched operation that required three additional surgeries and left him sterile and anorgasmic for life at 17 before he had ever had an adult relationship. He is now 100 pounds overweight and severely depressed but forever committed to pretending that his mother, the TV producers, and the surgeon who castrated him helped him discover his "true self" because he liked the color pink and lip synching to pop songs as a six year old. There can really be no other purpose to parading around this 'celebrity' than to induct other six year old boys who like the color pink and doing cartwheels into a lifetime of medicalized self-harm. Schools should not be recruitment organs for a cult of medicalized self-harm." The puberty blockers did not help because as he ages he looks more and more masculine. Another commenter: "Jazz's televised transition was managed by the best doctors Hollywood's money could buy and it was an abject disaster. This story is an example of why pediatric transitions should be banned, and proof that medical "experts" on this subject are not entitled to deference."
Oct 3, 2023 ~ Monica Showalter, 'Leftists are getting mugged by reality' Sadly long list of leftists who supported defunding the police and crime multiplying policies like no bail, getting mugged, carjacked, and even killed. Including a fool named Josh Kruger who insisted there were not a lot of shootings in Philadelphia and called people 'idiots' for disagreeing and advocated 'punching Nazis.' Kruger was shot to death in Philly.
Oct 3, 2023 ~ The newest DIE/CRT BS being pushed in DIE 'Training': 'Evaded Racism.' Which is "blaming parents and culture for sub-par achievement." Schools should NOT try to close the achievement gap between students of color and white students by "encouraging students to change their behavior or families to do more things that were like white families do, like reading to their children or adopting a growth mindset." No, no. Even mentioning that any of that could help (and there is tons of evidence that it does) or suggesting that the ever persistent achievement gaps are due to anything other than racism is itself, 'evaded racism.'
Oct 1, 2023 ~ Byron York explains how Biden (who caused the current illegal immigration crisis) is accelerating it through a program called the CBP One parole which permits inadmissible aliens to fly directly to airports in the interior of the United States, bypassing the border altogether. "The program applies to migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti. The migrants, according to the Center, request 'advance travel authorizations' through the CBP One mobile app." This program is bringing in between 200-300 thousand per year more migrants above the millions being allowed to come in through the border.
Oct 1, 2023 ~ Joe Biden’s IRA committed more than $100 million to promote ‘tree equity’ and over $1 billion to expand 'access to trees.' A lot of the places receiving the money have more than average trees but happen to be blue cities. We are beyond broke but the DIE virus takes precedent.
Oct 1, 2023 ~ Bill Maher tells Gov. DeSantis that despite the lies coming from Trump and the Democrat party, DeSantis handled Covid better than everyone else especially CA.
“We’re on the same page there. And I think it’s unfair what they did to you because you did handle it better. You did handle it better. You were right. You were like, let’s target the people, protect the people who are most vulnerable, and everybody else can go on with their lives a little better. You opened schools sooner. And a lot of the stuff that’s come in, the information we have after now we’ve had a few years to look at it, you were more right, and they won’t give you credit with it.”
“I saw The New York Times with such a despicable hit piece on you … I forget what the lead headline was, but it was basically Ron DeSantis fucked up the pandemic. And then like, at the very end, it says Florida’s death rate, overall, is better than the national average. And if you’re going to do an article about Florida and the pandemic, shouldn’t that be the lead? Shouldn’t that be the headline — I mean, talk about burying the lead.”
Oct 1, 2023 ~ NYC receives more than 7 inches of rain in less than 24 hours from tropical storm Ophelia causing some flooding in subways and streets. Partly to blame were sewers blocked by garbage etc. Many locales handle that amount of rain just fine. Of course the #FakeNews blames 'climate change' as they currently do for anything other than a partly cloudy day of average temperature.. They said it was 'unprecedented' and as always, that claim never true. They go on to say things like, "This is the new normal.' like they did with the 2005 hurricane season. And that never ends up being true either.
Oct 1, 2023 ~ Federal judges issued an injunction Saturday halting the Atlanta-based 'Fearless Fund' plan to distribute $20,000 grants exclusively to Black female entrepreneurs. The DIE crowd doesn't seem to get that its illegal to contract based on race/gender because they keep trying.
Oct 1, 2023 ~ Congressman Jamaal Bowman D-NY is caught on camera pulling a fire alarm to prevent a vote on the debt ceiling in Congress, a felony. Bowman, who used to be a high school principal, claims he didn't know pulling a fire alarm would set off a fire alarm. He thought it opened a door.
Sep 29, 2023 ~ Michael A. Letts, 'Voters are the reason Chicago has food deserts' "In the past five years on the South Side, store closings have included a Whole Foods, two Targets and three Walmarts." Due to legalized shoplifting, "these stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years." Great job Democrats! ???? Idiots...
Sep 29, 2023 ~ Shawn McBreairty, 'Maine’s Own William (Lia) Thomas Situation Unfolding In Cross Country' "Sophomore boy Soren Stark-Chessa, who was running cross country last year as a freshman boy, now is running as a sophomore “girl” and beating the second place girls by nearly 2 minutes." "Most parents are afraid to speak up for fear of being called a 'transphobe.'" These disgraceful spectacles continue to be enabled by cowards and misogynists.
Sep 28, 2023 ~ How toxic has world we live in today become? A Ted Talk by black man Coleman Hughes called 'A Case For Colorblindness' was all but cancelled and called 'racist' and 'dangerous.' A group called Black@TED pressured the CEO of TED to cancel the talk and of course he caved.
Sep 28, 2023 ~ The no bail, no law enforcement, defund the police, theft is 'equity' Democrats have destroyed their cities. Law abiding people are fleeing and so are businesses. Target is closing 9 stores in NYC, Seattle, Portland, San Fran and Oakland. This is after MANY others pulled out too.
Sep 28, 2023 ~ #BLM criminals looted countless stores in Philadelphia after a judge dropped the murder charges against police officer Mark Dial for the fatal shooting of Eddie Irizarry. Irizarry had a knife which the officers mistook for a gun. This was MASSIVE looting over so far 2 nights involving well over 100 thugs, only a few of whom were arrested as they fought with police. The thieves cleaned out Foot Locker, Lulumelon, an Apple store ("Free iPhones! Free iPhones!"), liquor stores, weave shops, Wells Fargo and other businesses.
Sep 28, 2023 ~ Professor Elizabeth Weiss @eweissunburied, 'Discussing sex is no longer allowed at Anthropology conferences' Both the the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and the Canadian Anthropology Society (CASCA) informed her that her scheduled panel: "Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology," is no longer allowed due to the ridiculous claim that very real and foundational to anthropology scientific discussion about the sex of human remains will "cause harm to members represented by the Trans and LGBTQI of the anthropological community as well as the community at large." Once again, science and truth are sacrificed at the alter of the anti-science called 'modern gender theory.'
Sep 28, 2023 ~ John Miller of CNN explaining that Blue cities are crime ridden hell holes because of Democrat policies. "You are seeing this kind of looting happening — I mean shoplifting and organized retail theft happen in places like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia. If you look at where Target closed nine stores yesterday, four stores in San Francisco, stores in Seattle, stores in Portland, stores in New York, these are places where bail reform laws, criminal justice reforms have taken the inside of a jail cell out of the equation. So shoplifting is a crime where a judge can’t set bail.
Think about this. In New York City there are just over 300 people who have between them 4,000 arrests, 70 percent of them are not in jail, and they account for 30 percent of all shoplifting in New York. This is actually their job. They go out to steal every day, and that has gone up significantly because they know getting put in jail is not in the equation any longer because of the laws that say it’s a no bail offense and D.A.’s policies are they don’t want people in custody for what they call nonviolent crimes. …
The National Retail Federation shows that the part of it covered by theft is actually rising. Interestingly, they did a survey of stores, the Retail Federation, in 22 that said 81 percent of their store associates feel that the people stealing are becoming more violent and aggressive when confronted, and 54 percent of them feel that this bail reform where they have shoplifters telling them there is nothing you can do and I am not going to jail is a factor there. So, is it going up as dramatically as some of the stories portray? If you look at it nationally, that’s a harder statistic to grapple with. But if you look where it’s going up significantly, it’s going up in cities where you have these policies and people realize this is just like shopping without money."
