Democrats and Their Policies Are Abetting America’s Violent Crime Wave

If Democrats really care so much about gun violence, they should stop abetting it by letting criminals out of jail.

A 7-year-old girl was shot and killed in Chicago Sunday while spending time with her father. Police believe it was a gang-related shooting. You can bet the police know the perps, who have very likely participated in the Democrats’ new revolving-door criminal justice system. Mayor Bill de Blasio instituted one of those in New York City. His act abetted much more crime in the city.

Gangs are abetted by lax law enforcement policies dictated by Democrat city councils, and by chaos on the southern border, which is abetted by the Biden administration’s disastrous handling of the border. It has helped the cartels solidify control in Mexico and spread their tentacles through the border states into the rest of the country.

Austin, Texas was shaken by a triple homicide Sunday.

 


We do have a pandemic in this country in addition to COVID. It’s a pandemic of Democrats coddling criminals, releasing thousands of inmates on any excuse, reacting to every crime with framing that attacks law-abiding citizens, abandoning their responsibility to public safety, and calls to make everything but crime a “crisis.”

Crime is at a crisis level now. 2020 was America’s worst year for violent crime in decades. 2021 is on pace to be worse. The Democrats’ answer is to incite more violence. The media’s answer is to back the Democrats. What do they think will happen if they keep this up?

Violent crime is a crisis Democrats such as Alter have created and are making worse by defunding and demoralizing police and considering proposals engineered by their own packed, biased activist task forces that make life better for criminals and worse for everyone else. What do they think will happen if they follow through with that?
