As prodigious a poster as I am, it is still difficult to keep up with firmly held beliefs of Liberals that are totally, ineffably, incorrect.
They evince a certain variety of ignorance based on refusal to embrace reality. Outright refusal!
Here's one hitting too close to home: Marxist/Liberal/Democrat Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, ran for office based on reversing a long-standing police policy of 'stop and frisk.'
And he did.
As is the case in sooooo many Liberal policies......the results are the exact opposite of what had been predicted.
1. "NYPD reveals increases in homicides and gun violence across NYC compared to last year, with half as many stop-and-frisks
2. ....in an all-out battle with illegal guns — and all of us are losing.
More people are getting shot.
More people are being killed.
And fewer people are being stopped and frisked.
3. “We’re struggling with homicides and shootings,” NYPD Chief of Department James O’Neill said Monday. “As we expect when warm weather comes, we see an increase in certain crimes.”
4. O’Neill laid out the grim numbers during a press conference at 1 Police Plaza, revealing a 19.5% spike in homicides during the first five months of the year.
There were 135 murders through Sunday compared to 113 at the same time last year.
5. Of this year’s murder victims, an alarming 72% died of gun violence, officials said. It’s usually around 57%.
6. “When we’re talking about murders and shootings, we’re talking about people’s lives,” he told reporters. “These are not just numbers. "

"...we’re talking about people’s lives,”..."
The Left has never shown any respect for people's lives.....not innocent people, anyway.
