How to reduce crime drastically, part 1.
The most important aspects are the simplest and most obvious.
Dating at least back to Obama (defending his idiot friend who had to break into his house but then refused to show ID to the police), democrats have been fighting against the police and working for criminals. You can find thousands of stories on democrats attacking police officers and calling to “defund” police departments all over the country. You can also find thousands of stories of criminals of all types committing thousands of crimes but then not getting punished, and often getting defended by liberals.
Meanwhile, in areas under left wing control and even some not totally left wing, you will find the same prosecutors that are letting off violent criminals going after law abiding citizens exercising their 2nd amendment rights and defending themselves with guns. So if you get the sense that the left not only wants criminals roaming free, but they also want you defenseless against them, you are NOT wrong at all. That is exactly the goal. And of course it’s no surprise that crime is up in many large democrat controlled cities. In some cases it’s way, way, up.
Even without looking at the specific details of left wing actions, there are three simple truths with respect to crime.
If you fail to punish crime appropriately, you will get more crime.
If you fail to punish crime at all, you will get much more crime.
If you aid and abet crime by rewarding it, you get exponentially more crime. This is obvious with the invasion of millions more illegal aliens since Biden was fraudulently installed in office.
So I have some fairly simple solutions to reduce crime.
Any district attorney (DA) who refuses to prosecute any crimes, other than for a clear and publicly shown (or available very quickly via a records request) lack of evidence, is removed from office ASAP. That DA is then subject to criminal charges himself/herself for failure to perform his or her job duties.
Any DA who publicly states an intention not to prosecute any crimes other than for lack of evidence, and instead based on any sort of political, philosophical, or other ideals is immediately removed from office, and any DA candidate stating that same intention is immediately disqualified from running.
Any mayor, governor, or other politician stating that crimes should not be prosecuted (other than for lack of evidence) is also immediately removed from office. Any judge found to be too lenient or worse shall also be subject to rapid removal. For those same office holders, working publicly or privately to stop prosecution of any crimes that have solid evidence is also grounds for rapid removal from office.
For the instances above where public refusals to prosecute were not involved, the process for removal can start with the mayor, the governor, a judge, the police chief, the sheriff, or individual police officers or sheriff’s deputies. A “Supervisory Council” or whoever else oversees the process for removals is TBD, but it would have to be people who are strong supporters of law enforcement and strong supporters of enforcing the law. This is going to exclude a large percentage of democrats, and I’m open to suggestions. For now I’ll go with “Supervisory Council”.
Any judge, DA, mayor, governor, or other politician engaging in or supporting unequal enforcement of the law based on political differences, shall also be removed from office. This would include anyone and everyone involved in the unconstitutional detention and absurd overcharging of the individuals in the appropriately named ‘American Gulag’.
For all criminal activity in any location, a desired level which should not be exceeded shall be set by state or federal legislators. The lowest level determined by any given body shall be used. If there are other somewhat similar states or other large cities with lower crime rates due to proper law enforcement actions and prosecutions, then those similar states or cities would NOT be able to set rates higher than the lower crime area. This of course means left wing hell holes like Chicago would be in for some very big changes in leadership, starting with the real life Beetlejuice herself.
For areas with rates above the desired levels of crime, law enforcement must be increased and prosecutions must be increased to bring crime down.
If crime is not reduced within a 3 to 6 month period, DAs, judges, mayors, police chiefs, sheriffs, etc. will all be subject to removal from office.
If crime increases in any 6 month period, one or more of the above MUST be removed from office unless some uncontrollable factor is the obvious source of the increase. Again, the people on the Supervisory Council who oversee the removal(s) must meet the criteria stated above, and after showing rigorous qualifications for the job, they should be elected by the people for the specific purpose of serving as watchdogs of political office holders who are failing to protect the “ordinary citizens” from crime.
In any scenario where it is not clear that existing office holders are part of the problem, the punishments for any single crime or for multiple crimes will be increased. State and federal legislators will be required to make punishments more severe or they will be subject to removal from office.
In no event shall any argument of “discrimination” have any effect on efforts to reduce crime. Crime statistics make very clear that the criminals are not racially representative of the current population of this country, as shown here, here, and here, and despite some large left wing cities hiding their data it appears to be getting worse. In any event claims of unfairness must be made in each specific case. The totality of prosecution and conviction statistics does not change the evidence or facts in any single case.
Whether by law changes or by an amendment to the Constitution, the primary purposes of criminal punishment MUST be the inter-related deterrence of crime and protection of the public. Any “rehabilitation” goals MUST be a very distant third that must NOT reduce punishments otherwise appropriate for the crime.
Again probably requires an amendment, but reinstate the death penalty nationwide, and only allow judges, prosecutors, and jurors who are fully on board with the death penalty. Anyone who thinks the death penalty is cruel, unusual, or otherwise doesn’t believe in it, is completely ineligible for the roles listed above.
Concealed carry of weapons is allowed nationwide, except in locations like airports and courthouses. No business open to the public shall have the right to prohibit the free exercise of the second amendment.
Citizens shall have every right to bear arms in situations where they are threatened. They may pull a gun and aim at anyone in close proximity that is clearly threatening them with physical violence. Pushing up against someone shall be considered a threat of physical violence. Yelling insults, including profanities, from a distance, shall not be grounds for aiming a weapon at someone.
Citizens and business owners shall have the right to use deadly force to protect property. This shall include shooting adult mass shoplifters as long as there is very little to no chance of hitting an innocent bystander. The shooter shall be required to record video evidence of the crime in progress in order to confirm that it was a good shoot.
‘Stand your ground’ shall be nationwide. Homeowners shall have the right to shoot any intruders, including full rights to shoot fleeing intruders in the back and to shoot intruders just outside their homes. A homeowner shall also have every right to lay in wait to shoot people breaking into his or her home, including by pretending that they are not home. In all cases, the homeowner will be responsible for properly identifying his or her target as someone with criminal intent. In the event another resident of the home is shot or an innocent person merely coming to the door is shot, the shooter shall be charged with manslaughter at a minimum and up to first degree murder if it is found that there is motive for the shooting other than self defense. This latter part is pretty much the case everywhere now where ‘Stand your ground’ is already the law.
No political office holder calling for “defunding the police”, or calling for cashless bail, or calling for any other law or policy which puts the general public at risk shall be entitled to ANY private security or public security of any kind. They must fend for themselves exactly as though they are a member of the general public. This shall include public speaking events, where the police presence shall be instructed to treat the speaking politician or candidate no differently than any spectator at that event.
Politicians supporting the police and strict law enforcement, which in turn protects the general public, shall be entitled to extra security, public and/or private.
Anyone and everyone engaged in aiding and abetting the illegal invasion of this country shall be charged with treason, including Joe Biden and his handlers behind the scenes. If convicted, they shall be publicly hanged. This shall include “attorneys” doing anything to encourage anyone to come to this country, or helping them to remain in this country, under the guise of “asylum” when that person does not remotely qualify for “asylum”. Living in a shithole country does not meet the criteria for asylum in the U.S., which means for example that in Latin America probably only certain residents of communist Venezuela and Cuba would qualify for asylum. This shall also include any state or local politician voting for or otherwise supporting “sanctuary cities”.
ALL of the illegal alien invaders in this country shall be removed. No “dreamers’, no “DACA”, no illegals roaming freely about anywhere, regardless of how many years they have been here. No illegal children shall be allowed to remain in this country either, as it only serves to reward the parents who sent them here and it gives an excuse for liberals to call for “family reunification” down the line. Anyone who is a child of an illegal alien woman given “birthright citizenship” because their mother gave birth to them on U.S. soil, due to the completely inappropriate interpretation of the 14th amendment, shall have that citizenship stripped and they shall also be deported. Military service shall be an option for said parties to retain their citizenship.
All violations of the above shall have criminal penalties associated with them, up to and including serious felony charges.
Think those plans might bring crime way down? If there are parts you like or parts you don’t like, or you have additional ideas or change suggestions for the above, let me know in the comments.
Here's one example of what democrats are doing to let criminals off:
