That is one of the advantages of being a conservative...I can depend on Bill Whittle, Dan Bongino, Mark Levin, Thomas Sowell, and...William F. Buckley to provide me with shoulders to reliably stand upon, FRiend.
Who do THEY have? Bill Ayers? AOC? Noam Chomsky? Francis Fox Piven?
Spit.
I admit to snickering every time I hear or see a Leftist nincompoop make that fundamental error...
It is the same ridicule-inducing feeling I get when the Leftists use the “Three Fifths Compromise” to trumpet how racist the country was, never understanding that it was a compromise to weaken slaveholding states by reducing their representation in the House.
The Left seeks to adjust the world to conform to their world view.
With what you said (which is quite true) I think it boils down to this:
Leftists think Utopia is achievable, humans are perfectible, and if they aren’t perfect, someone somewhere did something wrong to explain it and that evil doesn’t exist.
Conservatives think Utopia is unachievable, humans can never be perfected, and if they aren’t perfect in a bad way, they bear personal responsibility for that, and we must have safeguards against them because evil does exist
Bingo... Or use any Google 3rd party services with your site.
Top cop claims 1,127 people were arrested for carjacking crimes last year. The actual number? 178.
January 22, 2021 CWBChicago Citywide
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown called a press conference Thursday evening to talk about the city’s carjacking problem. He opened his remarks with this claim:
“In 2020, there were 1,417 incidents of vehicular hijackings. Chicago police arrested 1,127 — that’s 1,127 — offenders for these crimes,” Brown said.
That’s false. Completely, off-the-charts not true.
Last year, Chicago police arrested 178 people for vehicular hijackings. Who told us that? The Chicago Police Department.
The other 949 arrests that Brown lumped in with those were for criminal trespass to vehicles, a misdemeanor that simply means someone was inside a car without permission.
Many of those 949 people were passengers in cars that someone else stole — and they may not have even known the car was stolen. Many others were charged with criminal trespass to a vehicle for snooping around inside someone’s car looking for spare change. There are myriad ways to be charged with a misdemeanor criminal trespass to a vehicle. But putting a gun in someone’s face and taking their car is not one of those ways.
