R58 Get the fuck off your high horse. If that’s what you’re inferring, maybe you need to examine why you see everything through a racial lens. “Giving back rights” to the homeless at the expense of law abiding citizens. And in LA, the politicians and city leaders are to blame, who happen to be soft-on-crime Democrats.

The man whose young daughter was stabbed to death was talking about the homeless junkies and mental street people who are now getting more and more brazen with committing crime. LA is in the middle of a huge crime wave. On the same day his daughter was stabbed to death, a 70 year old county USC nurse (who happened to be black, if that tingles your ass) was smashed into the concrete while waiting for her 5AM bus to work by another homeless freak and died suffering three days later. Two productive, loving women killed by homeless criminals on the same day. THIS IS NOT OKAY! THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

It has gotten to the point in LA where the homeless have more rights than the average citizen, mostly at the expense of women. Out of touch activists and politicians want us to think these bums are just out of luck, poor, sweet fellas who need a hand up. The truth is, these street people are not the cartoonish bums of yore, hitchhiking on trains with a sack on a stick. They are addicts and insane, violent at the drop of a hat. And for those who want help, it is readily available. But most do not want it because they’d have to abide by civilized rules. And to top it off, you can’t force treatment on anyone.

Women and the general public have to fear going to work, going to shop, going to the park or beach, grabbing dinner etc because we have to accomodate these freaks. They’re shitting on the streets, blocking businesses (mostly mom and pop shops in lower-to-middle class areas), and robbing people and homes. And what do the pols want to do? Move them into tiny houses (again in lower to middle class neighborhoods) so the unfortunate residents who worked hard their whole lives to save up for a home can have their property value decimated because a bum camp has been erected across the street. All the while the pols live in heavily guarded enclaves in Bel Air, Brentwood, Encino, Pacific Palisades, etc.

The father showed a lot of restraint in his interview and what he said was straight facts. You’ll change your tune the day you become a victim, which in LA is a question not of if, but when.

There's a reason why they don't get the same coverage. It's not always about race. It's about class. Poor people tend to have fucked lives. They're involved in all kinds of sketchy shit.. A lot of them are criminals or have criminals in their family. That goes for whites and blacks. The media is for the most part, LAZY AS CAN BE. They want an uncomplicated "story" that won't require them to do very much work. They also don't want to be perceived as saying anything bad about black people.

The Biggest Lie in the White Supremacist Propaganda Playbook: Unraveling the Truth About ‘Black-on-White Crime

One of the most exaggerated statistics was about the number of white people killed by other white people. Trump’s tweet claimed the number was 16 percent, while the FBI’s data shows it is 82 percent. The tweet also asserted that 81 percent of whites are killed by black people; the FBI number is 15 percent. As the Post concluded, “Trump cast blacks as the primary killers of whites, but the exact opposite is true. By overwhelming percentages, whites tend to kill other whites. Similarly, blacks tend to kill other blacks. These trends have been observed for decades.”

It’s not just Trump. The far-right ecosystem repeats versions of these ideas ad nauseum. Relying on “statistics” found in a white supremacist tract, the paleoconservative one-time presidential candidate Pat Buchanan wrote in 2007: “The real repository of racism in America — manifest in violent interracial assault, rape and murder — is to be found not in the white community, but the African-American community.” Until very recently, Breitbart news used a “black crime” story tag.

Misrepresented crime statistics are a main propaganda point of America’s hate movement, and a pillar of white supremacist thinking in the United States. Stormfront, the oldest hate site on the internet, has thousands of pages devoted to the “issue” of black-on-white crime.

R85 most of the homeless are mentally ill. The well-meaning decided to view state hospitals as 'prisons' for poor folks who just happened to be schizophrenic and incurable. And then Ronnie Raygun decided this was a great way to save money: close down the state hospitals - voila! the homeless.

You can't totally blame American nitwitedness though: the anti-institutional movement was widespread in Western countries though most of those countries tried to actually provide care in the community.

In the US, there is no viable care in the community for the chronically mentally ill who invariably are non-compliant with their meds and refuse to take part in therapy preferring to rant and rave. Involuntary commitment is nigh on impossible and the mentally ill frequently end up in jail after committing a crime.

For example, in Texas, the biggest dispenser of psychiatric care and psych meds is the Harris County (Houston) jail.

How did she get stabbed? If she was already sketched out by him to text her friend, she must have been on alert and keeping her distance.

by Anonymousreply 91January 21, 2022 2:49 AM

Did you see how big the guy is? He obviously just ran over and stabbed her. I think he wanted to stab the cashier in the 7/11 too but a guy moved over next to him and he figured he might have a fight on his hands.

What is that neighborhood like? La Brea seems pretty rough. I can't picture what the intersection of it and Beverly looks like.

by Anonymousreply 94January 21, 2022 3:55 AM

The neighboorhood is at the intersection of Hancock Park (wealthy area) and Fairfax (hip area). This block is full of high end custom furniture shops and conservative Jewish institutions and temples. It’s close to The Grove, Farmer’s Market, and LACMA. It’s also walking distance to some of LA’s best restaurants. In other words, it was a perfectly fine area.

R90 So no one should ever be alone at work? I see you have no small business experience.

This tragic murder happened because we’re soft on crime, especially in CA.

She probably never thought for a second that working in a fancy furniture store would be dangerous.

If they don't want to arm everyone then give them bear spray.

They'll just have to clean the furniture. Or any other products. And get sued by other customers affected.

Hell, looks like a gun is less trouble.

Here's a case of a 17 year old in Texas who shot his girlfriend in the back 22 times and was released on $250,000 bail ($25,000). And the victim's family is worried he'll come after them

These states need proper Bail Statutes. They need to be able to hold some defendants without bond.

Money bonds are unconstitutional and ineffective. DC has a pretty good bond statute which did away with money bonds in 1990. We also have the ability to hold defendants if a certain level of evidence can be shown in court that they are either unlikely to adhere to court orders pretrial (stay aways, previous failures to appear for court appearances, other conditions) and/or they are a danger to the community (level of evidence in the present case as well as previous behavior or crimes - witness intimidation, stay away violations etc). Those who violate any conditions of pretrial release can be hauled back into court to see if the pretrial conditions should be increased or revoked completely.

You can't just end money bonds. You have to have a system in place that closely monitors most defendants for safety and abscondence.

The bondsman lobby can be powerful.

Hey fuckface, a Detroit man is granted $5k bond days after 'setting his pregnant-with-twins girlfriend on fire and burning 60% of her body': Democrat DA who supports bail reform admits bond was 'woefully inadequate'

It's not on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN MSNBC

But it's on The Daily Mail, Fox news, The NY Post, in even in European newspapers

This depraved animal got a $5,000 bail. All he has to put up is $500 to bail out of jail.

This is a normal day in America.

Unless cable news starts to once again cover crimes even when the perpetrator is black, there's going to be backlash. Since George Floyd they are terrified of pointing out crimes committed by black men. And they commit plenty.

It's been going on for quite a while before George Floyd R127. I've been living in a black neighborhood, and well aware of what makes the news and what does not. This includes even local news. There are murders that barely make an appearance on local channel websites.

R127 I don’t ever watch cable news, but does cable news ever do reports on poverty and how it disproportionately affects black communities in America? Tackling poverty is really the only way to reduce violent crime, but I don’t think most of you would be ok with that either lol. I think you all just love to complain.

by Anonymousreply 130January 24, 2022 6:52 PM

There are a growing number of black Youtubers who have been calling out the crime in the black communities for a while now. They just aren't having it or the excuses anymore. They see the issues for what they are and see through the politics that keeps it going.

Some of them now call themselves conservatives but most of them are just not far left or are what we would normally call liberals in almost all areas. They are being driven out of the Democratic party - or they're driving themselves. Some of them have huge followings.

I'm R129, and that's exactly what I'm seeing and hearing from people around me. It's infuriating the way MSM has been presenting things, and you're not even allowed to say anything about it without others screeching and screaming their heads off about fighting racism, bigotry, so on and so forth. They go on and on, yet have no practical idea what they're talking about.

I might watch cable news if they did that. But they don't do that. So I don't watch it. All they fucking do is complain about trump and the republicans. And no one hates the trump and the republicans more than I do, but I don't want to hear the cable news anchors bitching about the same thing. Report some news. All they worry about is politics. 24 hours a day of this shit is too much. Since they've started just being only about politics, the country really has gone downhill.

I don't watch cable news and more importantly neither do other people. But a lot of those other people get a lot of their news from Facebook and other crazy fake sources.

they are going to vote republican. The democrats are sitting back and letting all of this happen. Shame on those lazy, weak, useless, assholes. It's like late 1920s Germany all over again. This is how it happens. One party sits back and allows it.
