But Why Is Keith Ellison Running All Those Ads Portraying Him As Tougher On Crime Than Dirty Harry?
By Mitch Berg
Ted Nugent/Oathkeepers poll shows a supermajority of Americans blame “woke” politicians for the crime wave.
Wait – did I say Ted Nugent/Oathkeepers? I meant Harvard:
The correct answer to the poll is “yes’ to both, of course.

NO!!
Woke politicians are not to blame for rising crime. Criminals are.
When a woke prosecutor gives a violent 15 year old car-jacker a second, third and even fourth chance, who is to blame when they reoffend? The prosecutor or the car-jacker?
If you say, the prosecutor, don’t lecture me any more about personal responsibility.

The question at hand for me is how many voters are associating the word “woke” with “Democrats”. The portside party could escape with little harm if they’re just thinking of Ilhan Omar and others in safe leftist districts.

Greg, by your logic, guns are responsible for crime, not criminals. First time it is criminal’s personal responsibilty, but prosecution is culpable, enabling and responsible for re-occurence.

Let’s consider investment/return instead.
A 75IQ hood rat and his pals jack 10 cars, hit the ATM to get a few bucks from of the bank accounts of the rubes they took them from, use them to enforce their drug turf and then strip off the catalytic converters when they’re done with them every week.
Let’s say they clear $5,000 in federal fiat currency. That’s about $260k/yr; TAX FREE. Not too shabby.
They get busted a few times during that year, and spend 5 days in jail, cumulatively. They spend $0 on lawyers (you Patriots pay for a lawyer for them) and bail, well even on the off chance bail is required, there’s the Freedom Fund™…it’s just a small investment of time. That’s 360 days free to hustle their hoes and smoke blunts.
Compare that with the guy that goes to work at Jiffy lube, standing in a greasy pit, changing oil 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to clear $40k/yr, after taxes.
Seems to me, even a 75IQ hood rat can do that math. They’re not criminals, Patriots; they’re living their best lives.

^ That’s racist! Or fascist. Or something bad.

Gosh, and here I thought only libs failed to recognize sarcasm.

In the current year, libs and Patriots™ have closed the circle, Greg. You can’t tell the players without a program.

I have been told the political world is round.

Yes, Bikebubba is on to something here. Rising crime tends to be a problem in big cities and urban counties. The areas also tend to be the safe leftist districts. Politicians in these districts tend to be the wokest because they fear a competitor from their left more than from their right within a metropolitan uniparty. Ellison never ran as a law & order AG, he ran promising to sue corporations and the Trump administration. Ellison got just short of 50% of the votes and reliably won only in the metro area (and the Arrowhead, of course). I don’t know if Ellison can win as a law & order candidate, it is not remotely his style.

as we all know calling the police when your home is broken into comes from a place of white privilege and is a form of structural racism
hakim prosecuting criminals is perpetuating structural racist and white privilege
excellent hes the guy for me and all my far right neo nazi ultra maga semi facist neighbors
including the black ones who also fear crime and want somebody to do something about it oops i guess they must be oreos huh black on the outside white on the inside what a bunch of haters
hard to believe minnesota nice became ultra maga haters in such a short time and under hakims watch wonder if that is cause and effect or mere coincidence

[…] – as always – accurate, that might explain Ellison’s drive to slap a coat of “tough on crime” paint over his “Anti”-fa frenching […]
