George Soros says liberal prosecutors not to blame for crime spike, vows continued support

Liberal mega donor George Soros pledged that he has "no intention" of slowing down his donations to progressive district attorneys and dismissed the notion their policies were to blame for crime spikes nationwide.

"Some politicians and pundits have tried to blame recent spikes in crime on the policies of reform-minded prosecutors," Soros wrote in an op-ed published Sunday in the Wall Street Journal. "The research I’ve seen says otherwise. The most rigorous academic study, analyzing data across 35 jurisdictions, shows no connection between the election of reform-minded prosecutors and local crime rates."

Soros attempted to make the case that policies implemented by prosecutors he has donated millions of dollars to, including New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, have been "popular" and "effective."

"This agenda includes prioritizing the resources of the criminal-justice system to protect people against violent crime. It urges that we treat drug addiction as a disease, not a crime. And it seeks to end the criminalization of poverty and mental illness​," Soros wrote, adding, "​The goal is not defunding the police but restoring trust between the police and the policed, a partnership that fosters the solving of crimes."

Soros’s article comes as violent crime has surged in recent years in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, and other areas where he has supported progressive district attorneys.

Voters in San Francisco recently voted to recall District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was financially backed by Soros, amid a spike in both crime and homelessness in recent years.

Soros wrote in an op-ed published Sunday in the Wall Street Journal. “The research I’ve seen says otherwise. The most rigorous academic study, analyzing data across 35 jurisdictions, shows no connection between the election of reform-minded prosecutors and local crime rates.”

File this under “2 quarters of negative growth is not a recession”, “inflation is transitory”, or “safe and effective”.

Ronna McDaniel will continue to not inform voters that the DA and SOS candidates are being funded by Soros in elections.

Mossad just took out a Iranian missile scientist. They could do the world a huge favor and this evil prick off the board.

Soros is a madman with serious issues with black people. I don't believe any black people have asked him to do any of this. In fact they're probably against it as a whole.

In today’s world, as long as the media is with you, say anything, absolutely anything, and it will be treated as truth.

This guy’s not being duped. He knows exactly what he’s doing. One of his dreams is to bring down the United States and make bundles of money in the process.

This is bribery to avoid prosecution paid oddly enough by a third party only peripheral to the legal requirements of the state and municipality.

“George Soros says liberal prosecutors not to blame for crime spike, vows continued support”

Georgie boy said years ago the US was the only country standing in the way of a Global Government. He is spending millions to speed up our downfall. I believe he envisions a one world government with one of his sons as world leader. Might just be as the Anti-Christ will probably have to be Jewish in order to sell Israel the seven year treaty:

“Then he (Antichrist) will confirm a covenant (Treaty) with many for one-week (7 years). In the middle of the week (Halfway point = 3.5 years) he (Antichrist) will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings.”
