Leftist lawyer Benjamin Crump calls for crime to be legalized because it's just part of black culture

I thought for sure this would be from the Bee.

If it is legalized, then come to my home and try to take what’s mine, and I’ll shoot you. See how that works.

Sounds like Crump wouldn’t mind a bit if someone walked up and punched him in the nose.

That’s what it will take. Go back to the local law enforcement deputize fellow citizens who are reputable and get down to business. Also, make car theft and carjacking a hanging offense done executed on the spot. Problem solved.

So this guy thinks that blacks are right next to random-acting simians? isn’t that racist?

[Dahoser]

Last we heard, black people dislike crime at least as much as other crime victims and don't care what the color of the perpetrator is. After all, they are most often the victims of violent crime, and the sad story is, most of it comes from black criminals.

Actually, last we heard is what Benjamin Crump has been saying because black voters in cities continue to vote for more of the same. This comes after so-called bail reform with its revolving door nature and Soros DAs in those cities made it easier for black criminals to keep committing crimes against black people.

You would expect quite the opposite that seeing increased crime against their communities directly from bail reform would make black voters reject more of the same and yet that didn't happen. Why?

I believe the answer is that black voters expect that a family member of someone they know will commit a crime for which bail reform and a Soros DA will be helpful to have in place and so that's how they vote. I know it's crazy and I am by no means saying it's right and what should be done, but it's the only logical reason I can come up for why Chicago went from Lori Lightfoot to Brandon Johnson and NYC reelected everyone involved with bail reform, and it explains why Crump would say what he said.

Again, doesn't make it right or what should be done, but it sure does point out a major problem when that kind of thinking is seemingly pervasive.

If I were black, I’d be insulted by that sentiment.

If I were black, I’d be insulted by that sentiment.

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

Reparations paid without money? Could be a legalized crime.
