Milwaukee, Wisconsin is grappling with an unprecedented spate of car thefts. Since last year, stolen vehicle reports in the city have more than doubled, according to WISN 12 ABC, and nearly tripled since 2019.

Worryingly, at least half of the suspected thieves are minors, and they have an unusual penchant for easy-to-steal Hyundais and Kias.

Another Prog fixation: It is never the perpetrator of criminal offenses that is the problem. It is always someone else’s fault.

But then, so far Kia and Hyundai haven’t pulled a Saturday night special on the prosecutors.

Those were creative commercials. I like the one where the monkey was using a donut to bribe the cop.

I would say that the Milwaukee City and County DAs and Administrative leaders are the public nuisance.

Ask Sheriff Clarke....

Maybe the car companies could settle by just giving the criminals new cars.

Typical of the leftist to blame others for the breakdown of society morals that they themselves caused. Bring back religion and working fathers raising their own children while married to their mothers and the problem will go away!
