San Jose Mayor: W.H. Is Wrong That Pandemic Is Root Cause of Smash and Grab Crime
Breitbart ^ | 12/04/2021 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 12/04/2021 11:04:30 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo (D) disagreed with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s assertion that the pandemic is a root cause of the recent wave of smash and grab retail thefts and argued that criminals are at the root of the crimes.

Co-host Dana Perino asked, “[T]he White House yesterday said that they believe that the pandemic is at the root cause of a lot of this smash and grab crime. Do you think that’s right?”

So if the mass looter/shoplifter crowds were not forced against their will by Covid, then maybe:

Democrat Sam Liccardo, San Jose, California mayor did not allow his cops to protect Americans attending a Donald Trump rally. His mob physically attacked , spit upon and threw objects at men, women and kids as they exited the Trump rally in San Jose. IMO Mayor Sam Liccardo is a thug.

It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.

Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a “3rd world s***hole of a city.”

The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst.

In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.

Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.

Violent crime is now soaring in America. But two things are different about America’s new criminality.

• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.

• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.

So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020:
“Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”

Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

The above statememnts excerpted from: Victor Davis Hanson’s: “Third-Worldizing America
Nation & State” ^ | 12-4-2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

So, Forget It, Jake! Relax! It’s Now, Not Your Town!

You may have voted for this B$!!! Even, If you didn’t, it doesn’t matter! Your vote has not counted nor been counted for decades, if ever.

I agree. Thay happened in a number of places, and the reaction by the media and Democrat politicians was basically to blame the victims "this is what happens when you have a candidate who spews hate."

It's one of the reasons I really don't care very much about January 6. They promoted the idea that unlawful conduct is perfectly acceptable if your cause is sufficiently "just."

If that's what they believe, then I just think it should go both ways.

”It’s the Israelis.”

”It’s ALL Jews!”

”Not me! I blame capitalism!”

”Chill, people!! It’s Trump’s fault!

True, of course.

When Cream was the biggest new group it was said to be the only rock group the classical and theater fan Bernstein went to see.

Asked what Cream's appeal was, he said "Well, their drummer keeps really good time."

Thanks very much for posting that. Stand down cops under wimpy mayors are big triggers of my hostility.

I'll remember him for that (as: no Hallmark Christmas card to him).
