Care To Guess How Many Of The Deadliest Cities In The U.S. Have A Republican Mayor?

[Independent thinker]

Tough, my ass. Let's see those sentences for criminals found in possession of illegally owned guns.

Democrats have no desire to enforce gun laws, punish criminals, as it means sending a disproportionate amount of Black people to prison, which is racist.

This has nothing to do with red states vs blue states, everything to do with Black population %.

Easy for Gavin to call red states out when his only has a 5% Black population, way below the national average. They still commit over 1/3 of California's murders.

Apparently California is racist.

 

[AntonToo]

Nope. They ruled that the MANNER in which the troops were called-out and utilized was not legal.

...what MANNER was that?

State it and explain substantive difference from other deployment, because Trump's justification in California clearly included ICE agent protection.

From the ruling (Page51-52):

Defendants’ final argument is that the equities—specifically, the harm threatened to federal property and personnel—weigh against an injunction. Supp. Opp. at 25. This does not survive scrutiny given the scope of the issues presented. An injunction prohibiting Task Force 51 troops from engaging in law enforcement activities would have no bearing whatsoever on their ability to protect federal property. Nor is “protection,” whether of federal property or personnel, the talismanic word that Defendants seem to believe it is. No doubt Defendants have an inherent interest in the safety of federal personnel, but they can and must ensure this safety in a lawful manner—such as, for example, by coordinating with state and local law enforcement.

Defendants have no legitimate interest in violatingthe Posse Comitatus Act, for protection or for any other reason. See Rodriguez v. Robbins, 715 F.3d 1127, 1145 (9th Cir. 2013) (“[The government] cannot suffer harm from an injunction that merely ends an unlawful practice.”)

...what MANNER was that?

The authority being cited as the basis for the deployment.

The "Insurrection Act" should be used... not the Enemy Aliens Act.

The difference being that one requires an extant War (declared or undeclared) while a State of Insurrection is a more defensible and subjectively-interpreted mechanism to utilize as that basis.

Lincoln used it when Southern States refused to enforce Federal law, as have others at various times in the past 250 years...

Of course we all pretty much know the answer to this already but, somehow, democrats ignore the truth and the facts. They are fact deniers. Facts are stubborn things.

• Of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates in the country, 12 are located in red states, but only one currently has a Republican mayor.
• And while Shreveport, La, currently has a Republican mayor, a Republican has run the city only 11 of the past 152 years.
• It’s been 50 years since Birmingham, Alabama, last had a Republican mayor.
• The last time there was a Republican mayor in St. Louis, Mo., was 1949.
• Atlanta hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1879; New Orleans, hasn’t seen one since 1872.
• In Indianapolis, the homicide rate has been elevated ever since Democrats gained control of the mayorship in 2017. From 2010 through 2016, the annual number of homicides in the city averaged around 120. Since then, it’s averaged 201.
• The Republican mayor of Dallas, Eric Johnson, ran twice as a Democrat and switched to the GOP less than two years ago.

Probably very few, as large cities attract more successful and more educated peope, and those peole tend to be democrats.

There is no insurrection in Chicago. Obviously.

Come on, admit it, you just like the idea of illegals deported and you don't much care if it's done legally or not.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Well, unless the Bulls win another championship.

 

[Kondor3]

Not so obvious. If local authority conspires to circumvent Federal law and to conceal and protect Federal lawbreakers...

Come on, admit it, you just like the idea of illegals deported and you don't much care if it's done legally or not.

Not really... it's always best if it's done under cover of law... and that is certainly quite possible...

 

[alang1216]

You can’t solve problems if you can’t admit errors.

The Dems pivoted 180 degrees. Unfortunately, so did the Party of Lincoln.

 

[Dirk the Daring]

Psst, I'll let you in on a little secret - homicide rates are higher in densely populated areas, which also makes them more Democrat leaning.

Aw thanks, I appreciate that. Secrets are fun, so I'll share one with you; homicide rates being higher in densely populated areas while also being more Democrat leaning is kinda the point of the entire thread that you're currently posting in. I'm glad to see at least ONE dem is finally figuring it out... some 11 pages in or so depending on your settings. Kudos and well done.

Crime Festers in Republican States While Their Troops Patrol Washington​

When Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee, dispatched his National Guard troops to Washington to support President Trump’s crackdown on crime, Democrats and other critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines.

Memphis, after all, has long been one of the most dangerous cities in the country, with a murder rate about twice as high as the nation’s capital, according to F.B.I. statistics. Nashville has a higher rate of violent crime than Washington as well.

The same questions could be asked of other Republican governors like Greg Abbott in Texas, Mike DeWine in Ohio and Mike Kehoe in Missouri, since cities under their purview all have higher rates of violent crime than the nation’s capital. Yet no Republican governor has asked for federal intervention.

I know, I know. When Dear Leader says jump..............

 

[IM2]

Quite the opposite. It is Democrats, who are largely ignorant fools, that don't know what Socialism really is nor do they have any knowledge of its many failures around the world.

Again, you don't know what socialism really is. And you can't name all the socialist countries in the world. But I'm sure you'll tell me about Venezuela. The so-called failed socialist countries have been authoritarian. And this is what we have right now in America.

That’s debatable.

Before you get too stupid, Scandinavia is not a country.

Let's share another little secret. The per capita people don't use that excuse in this area, but on a per capita basis, there are small red rural towns, and mid-sized cities with per capita crime that is higher than many major cities. And what's worse is that criminals in those towns are either part of law enforcement, or they don't get caught.

Lately, we have seen a story coming out of Kentucky where a rural town sheriff shot a judge to death because that judge was forcing women to have sex with him to get their charges and fines reduced, or if they fucked him enough, dropped.

 

[IM2]

That’s debatable.

No it really isn't.

Gee, and Sweden is not a SOCIALIST country...dumbass.

Sure is. Everything you claim Dems want and what we’re headed for… exist in Sweden

Jackass

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Right, its democratic socialism.

What you MAGAts usually call socialism or communism.

 

[CDN1]

Ya mean like in Scandinavia…

Lol, always the smaller White homogeneous societies. Sorry, not happening in a large low trust multi-ethnic country.

Sweden's totally f'd anyway with all the Muslims & Africans they let in, who are now raping their women at insane rates.
