Biden and His Party are Deceiving the Public About Crime
Democratic leaders, in their quest for social justice reform, have forged an environment where criminals feel the thrill of impunity, knowing the consequences are but whispers in the wind.
Introduction
In the sprawling urban landscapes governed by the Democratic Party, where crime has surged under the shadow of lenient, soft-on-crime laws, street justice often emerges as a necessary guardian of property. Here, the scales of justice tip precariously, and in many cases, criminals escape unpunished for major crimes and thefts where the spoils are less than $1,000.
These soft-on-crime policies, though perhaps well-intentioned, erode the deterrent power of legal penalties and jail time, allowing the specter of lawlessness to grow ever more bold.
Social Street Justice in Action: “That’s called woopin yo ass.”
The video clip unveils performances surpassing even the finest award-winning acts, with the two 7-Eleven clerks and the thief playing their parts to perfection. It doesn't get any better than this for pure viewing enjoyment. The store clerks administer a brand of street justice that the thief would have never encountered through the legal system, where he would have been released without punishment.
The shoplifter beaten in the video allegedly stole from the same California location at least twice before the employees took him down, police said as they revealed the workers are under investigation for possible assault. In California, it often seems that criminals receive better treatment than their victims, even when those victims are merely defending themselves and their property.
The footage of the beating showed one employee holding down the suspect while his coworker whacked him almost 25 times — while the robber screamed in agony.
The encounter was at least a day in the making, according to cops. The suspect went behind the counter and threatened to shoot an employee if he tried to stop him the day before at around 3:40 a.m., police said in a news release.

Biden and His Party are Deceiving the Public About Crime.
Alarmingly, the national crime data produced by the FBI does not include statistics from many of the largest Democratic-run cities, masking soaring crime trends nationwide. The claim that the FBI’s national crime data may be understated by 44% has been mentioned by a former law enforcement chief from New York, though this figure lacks clear basis in available sources. Several major cities have not transitioned to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), leading to data gaps and underreporting.
There are political reasons why some large Democratic-run cities might not provide the FBI with their crime statistics, particularly during an election year. High crime rates can damage public perception and electoral prospects, deter tourism and business investments, and provide ammunition for political opponents. By controlling the release of crime data, political leaders can avoid negative publicity and focus on more favorable topics.
Additionally, many Democratic leaders advocate for criminal justice reforms aimed at reducing incarceration rates. High crime statistics could be used by opponents to argue against these reforms. Delaying or not reporting crime data helps manage media coverage, maintain positive relationships with law enforcement, and ensure the data is presented with appropriate context.
The underreporting of crime data from Democratic-run cities is a significant oversight that undermines public trust and accountability.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are Soft on Crime
Kamala Harris:
As the former Attorney General of California and later as a U.S. Senator, Kamala Harris has faced harsh criticism for being soft on crime. During her tenure as Attorney General, she supported policies that were overly lenient, such as not pursuing the death penalty in certain cases and advocating for reforms that have contributed to increased crime rates. As Vice President, her support for criminal justice reform initiatives aimed at reducing incarceration rates has resulted in more lenient treatment of offenders. Her policies have made it easier for criminals to evade serious consequences, thereby contributing to rising crime rates.
Tim Walz:
As the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz has been heavily criticized for his handling of crime and law enforcement issues, particularly in the wake of civil unrest and rising crime rates in cities like Minneapolis. Critics argue that his administration's approach to policing and criminal justice reform has been too lenient, contributing to an environment where crime can flourish. Opponents point to policies that they believe undermine law enforcement efforts and fail to adequately address public safety concerns. They argue that his leadership has led to a lack of accountability for criminals, resulting in increased crime and a diminished sense of public safety.
Major Cities and Soft-on-Crime Laws
San Francisco, California
Passed in 2014, Proposition 47 reclassified certain theft and drug possession offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. Theft under $950 is considered a misdemeanor, which has led to a significant increase in petty theft.
According to the San Francisco Police Department, larceny theft increased by 15% in 2022 compared to the previous year. In 2023, property crimes, including larceny and burglary, saw an additional increase of 10%.
Proposition 47 has effectively decriminalized shoplifting and petty theft, emboldening criminals and overwhelming law enforcement.
Los Angeles, California
Approved in 2016, Proposition 57 allows for the early release of non-violent offenders and gives parole consideration to those convicted of non-violent crimes.
The Los Angeles Police Department reported a 12% increase in property crimes in 2022. In 2023, violent crimes, including assaults and robberies, rose by 8%.
Proposition 57 law’s broad definition of "non-violent" crimes has allowed dangerous individuals to be released early, contributing to the city's rising crime rates.
Chicago, Illinois
Illinois passed a bail reform law in 2017 that aimed to reduce the number of people held in pretrial detention. This has made it easier for repeat offenders to be released.
Chicago saw a 20% increase in motor vehicle thefts in 2022, according to the Chicago Police Department. In 2023, overall crime, including shootings and homicides, increased by 5%.
Bail reform has led to a "revolving door" of justice, where offenders are quickly released and often reoffend, undermining public safety.
New York City, New York
Enacted in 2020, the Bail Reform Law eliminated cash bail for most misdemeanor and non-violent felony charges. While intended to reduce jail populations, it has allowed repeat offenders to quickly return to the streets.
The New York Police Department reported a 22% increase in major crimes in 2022, including a significant rise in robberies and burglaries. In 2023, the city saw a 7% increase in violent crimes, including assaults and shootings.
The bail reform law has led to an increase in recidivism and has made it more difficult for law enforcement to keep dangerous individuals off the streets.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia has decriminalized minor offenses, including small-scale drug possession and some thefts, to focus on more serious crimes.
The city experienced a 15% increase in property crimes in 2022, according to the Philadelphia Police Department. In 2023, the city saw a 6% rise in violent crimes, including homicides and aggravated assaults.
Decriminalization has led to an increase in lawlessness, with minor offenses going unpunished and contributing to disorder and increased crime.
Washington, D.C.
Passed in 2022, the Revised Criminal Code Act (RCCA) aimed to modernize the city's criminal code but included provisions that reduced penalties for certain offenses, including carjacking and robbery.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D.C. saw a 20% increase in violent crime in 2023, with significant rises in carjackings and homicides. In the first half of 2024, property crimes, including theft and burglary, increased by 12%. Washington, D.C. is now known as the ‘carjacking capital.”
RCCA has made it easier for offenders to avoid significant penalties, contributing to a rise in crime. The law sends a message that serious crimes will not be met with stringent consequences, thereby emboldening criminals.
Final Thoughts
President Biden and his supporters, with voices clear and confident, tout crime statistics that whisper half-truths, understating the grim reality due to shadows of underreporting, thus misleading the hearts and minds of citizens and voters.
The Big 6 Democratic-run cities, cradled in the arms of progressive policies, see crime rates climb higher, driven by aims to reduce jail time and population. These policies, with a soft touch, have decriminalized shoplifting and petty theft, emboldening the bold and overwhelming the weary guardians of law.
Moreover, the broad brush of "non-violent" crimes has painted a path for dangerous souls to walk free, contributing to the rising tide of crime. Soft-on-crime policies, though born of good intentions, have paved the way for higher crime rates, making it easier for offenders to slip through the fingers of justice.
Democratic leaders, in their quest for social justice reform, have forged an environment where criminals feel the thrill of impunity, knowing the consequences are but whispers in the wind. If elected, Harris and Walz would likely continue this gentle approach to crime. The result would be a swell of lawlessness and an increase in "woopin yo ass" social street justice, a necessary force to protect private property and deter the emboldened criminals that roam free.
