She continues to live in a dream world.
Isn’t this the same Mayor who had a segregated public dinner, where White’s were clearly not welcome?

If her latest foolishness is not overridden, Boston will deserve the high cresting crime wave that they will get.
Ask San Francisco and Oakland how that ‘no enforcement of the law for thefts less than $900.’ is working for them.

Well that’s one way to make the crime rate go way down.

It’s a miracle!

And instead of prosecution, what?

Theft, breaking and entering, malicious destruction of property, threats, marijuana distribution, drunk teenagers.

Hello gang rule.

Good bye, stores, decent people, people with any means to escape.

Then she can accuse the white people of white flight.

The city where I was born will soon look like places I’ve been in industrial Mexico. Iron grilles and barbed wire everywhere. Private security carrying M16s. Not that I really care anymore. I left in 1977, never to return.

Where are the adults? The law isn’t a smorgasbord where you get to ignore stuff you don’t like. Did she take the oath of office or just skip that part?

Next we’ll hear the weeping and gnashing of teeth from the “food deserts” and closed businesses and declining tax revenues and quality of life issues and skyrocketing insurance premiums and depressed real estate values and corporations bailing and so on and on.

Remind me why people pay taxes again?

With all the crime spree evidence available from other big cities and the radical DA’S being picked off in recent elections this broad doubles down. Sum Ting Wong with this nitwit.

Here are the details:
  1. Shoplifting
  2. Larceny
  3. Disorderly conduct
  4. Receiving stolen property
  5. Driving with a suspended license
  6. Breaking and entering with property damage
  7. Wanton and malicious destruction of property
  8. Threats
  9. Minor in possession of alcohol
  10. Marijuana possession
  11. Possession with intent to distribute
  12. Non-marijuana drug possession

    Which is consistent with former Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins who became the former next U.S. attorney for Massachusetts would like:

    Rachel Rollins | January 2019 [https://web.archive.org/web/20211201122659/https://rollins4da.com/policy/charges-to-be-declined/]

    Charges for which the Default is to Decline Prosecuting (unless supervisor permission is obtained).

    1. Trespassing

    2. Shoplifting (including offenses that are essentially shoplifting but charged as larceny)

    3. Larceny under $250

    4. Disorderly conduct

    5. Disturbing the peace

    6. Receiving stolen property

    7. Minor driving offenses, including operating with a suspend or revoked license

    8. Breaking and entering — where it is into a vacant property or where it is for the purpose of sleeping or seeking refuge from the cold and there is no actual damage to property

    9. Wanton or malicious destruction of property

    10. Threats – excluding domestic violence

    11. Minor in possession of alcohol

    12. Drug possession

    13. Drug possession with intent to distribute

    14. A stand alone resisting arrest charge, i.e. cases where a person is charged with resisting arrest and that is the only charge

    15. A resisting arrest charge combined with only charges that all fall under the list of charges to decline to prosecute, e.g. resisting arrest charge combined only with a trespassing charge

    Instead of prosecuting, these cases should be (1) outright dismissed prior to arraignment or (2) where appropriate, diverted and treated as a civil infraction for which community service is satisfactory, restitution is satisfactory or engagement with appropriate community-based no-cost programming, job training or schooling is satisfactory. In the exceptional circumstances where prosecution of one of these charges is warranted, the line DA must first seek permission from his or her supervisor. If necessary, arraignment will be continued to allow for consultation with supervisor. Thus, there will be an avenue for prosecuting these misdemeanors when necessary but it will be appropriately overseen by experienced prosecutors.

She’s ready for it. Have you seen their city hall? It looks like a Speer designed Nazi fortress.

Democrat hellhole cities want to appeal to companies looking to relocate.

One of the ways democrat hellhole mayors do that is by bragging about their low crime rate. They do that NOT by reducing crime buy by ‘cooking the books’ and making it appear they have a lower crime rate.

Then Biden and his goons and thugs in the FBI accept the lies and Biden brags about bringing crime down.

America’s becoming a hellhold country under democrat rule.
