America’s Ruling Class Wants to Reduce Us to Incompetence

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul blamed the recent shooting death of Jason Rivera, a New York City police officer, on “a shot from an illegal gun.”

In this strange passive voice, the Democratic governor didn’t mention the officer by name, but concluded that the true threat facing New York City was “the scourge of illegal guns on our streets.”

By refusing to state that an actual person acted viciously and illegally in killing a police officer, Hochul asked us to believe in a lie.

Obviously, that lie’s utility rests in its redefinition of violent crime as a problem stemming from lack of government regulation—in this case, insufficient gun control measures. She wants New Yorkers to ignore the violent crime rate spike in their city, aided and abetted by progressive crime policies.

This framework has undermined the nearly three-decadelong achievement in securing peaceful streets in New York City, a period that began under Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican. Of course, Giuliani chose a law-and-order strategy in which authorities arrested and incarcerated those who chose lawlessness and violence.

Too late. That’s been job one for the NEA for decades

No, we still have a long way to fall.

Think “Sarajevo” during the Bosnian War.

It’s gone from:

“The CANS! He Hates the CANS!” (the Jerk)

to “it’s the GUN!”

I’d say we’re already there.

[Tell It Right]

Biden agrees. He’s already achieved incontinence. LOL

Yup...it wasn't a drunk driver who killed that family of five...it was an evil SUV.And it wasn't a filthy punk career criminal psychopath who killed that five year old girl...it was the evil Smith & Wesson.

Guns don't kill people; people shooting others kill people. We are a nation of laws and the prosecutors in their districts need to aggressively prosecute the shooters and the judges need to put on their big boy pants and seek the maximum sentence the law permits.

[Jeff Chandler]

redefinition of violent crime as a problem stemming from . . . insufficient gun control measures

Based upon the voting records of typical New Yorkers, I'd say that's a winning strategy.

Is incompetence now a prerequisite to becoming governor in some states? Even a grade schooler should be able to understand how this works.

Rd later.
