Paging president elect Barack H. Obama!
“Snitches end up in ditches” -— Jersey City saying from the 1930s.
I’d chalk it up to a lack of will of prosecuters to go AFTER these criminals. I personally have known several people who were carjacked, sometimes assaulted, once kidnapped, and there was no prosecution even though the cars were recovered with identification of someone else (possibly the attacker or an associate) left IN the car.
Revenue tickets MAKE money for a city. Violent crime COSTS the city. There is prosecution, investigation, and incarceration.
Much easier to bill someone $3,000 for DWI (with no jail time) than to go after a car jacker (and you might even have to provide him with his legal defense). And then there is the lack of will to prosecute illegal aliens in this country.
In NJ, the state supreme court determined that you do not have a RIGHT to expect protection from the police (when you call 911, for example).
To protect and serve? Not hardly.
Michael Savage has also been talking about a lack of prosecution of murders in San Francisco lately. I think he’d going out on a limb grasping at straws in a case he’s talking about in SF right now, but will bring him up as someone else with this take elsewhere in the country.
PS, our jails are “overcrowded” so putting someone in also can mean letting someone out.
In a country where approximately 1 million murders of innocent children go “unsolved” every year, you have to know that there will be a declining respect for life. We’re on the brink of social chaos.
The number of criminal homicides committed in the U.S. climbed from 4,566 in 1963 to 14,811 in 2007,
US population has climbed by roughly 1/3 in 45 years.
US population
2008 est.303,824,640 61 percent in 2007
1963 __189,241,798 91 percent in 1963
It’s too late in the day for me to figure it out.
also probably because criminals are more aware of the CSI methods so they are more careful to elminate evidence.
Is this about the Democrats????
