Here in Austin we have three factors that are contributing to the explosive growth in crime
1. Not enough police to enforce the law
2. A progressive DA who refuses to prosecute because he believes that personal responsibility and accountability are racist
3 Progressive judges who refuse to hold criminals accountable because of “equity”

[Tzimisce]

How’s that “Defund the Police” working out for you guys in Liberal Land?

[hanamizu]

If you shoot the robber, should you call 911 or 311?

[BigFreakinToad]

I feel for the good citizens that are disenfranchised by the liberal city government, that being said, Austin can burn to the ground. I’ll sit in my front yard up the I35 and watch the glow.

[CodeToad]

Austin, the city of Bostom liberals.

Austin Police are telling criminals to commit robberies.

[arthurus]

Be armed everywhere. Burglar proof your doors and windows if you can afford it. Have your gun in easy reach when you are abed. But this is Austin. People don’t understand such speech. One might as well be talking Chinese.

911 message:
Your call is important to us. We can’t answer you right now, or actually ever, so please leave a recorded message.
Press 1 to donate to the mayor’s re-election campaign. Press 2 to give to the police foundation. Press 3 to record a “I love Austin” message for advertising use. Press 4 to say “I give up. I’ll confront the attackers myself and go to prison.”

Police are NOT the first responders. WE ARE! Arm yourselves and put a stop to this crap.

[dfwgator]

911 is a joke!

[zeugma]

There is no revenue in police responding to citizens victimized by crime, but Lord help you if you are speeding.

[Wilderness Conservative]

No sympathies for the people who voted in the Austin City gov.

[HandBasketHell]

Austin is DEEP BLUE.

I was in Austin last Monday for the Lyle Lovett and his large band concert at the Austin City Limits set. Saw homeless tent people under the overpasses on the way to the hotel. Hotel staff shuttled us to dinner in nice black Suburbans and to the venue for the show as well. I was in Austin for just less than 24 hours. Spent most of the time on the 9th floor with an amazing view balcony. A far cry from the two years i lived and worked there in the early 70’s. The only unchanged thing I recognized was the Texas State Capital. I wouldn’t live there on a bet now.

If victims start shooting the criminals, the police will show up then.

[lurk]

The state legislature could just say every man arm up and protect yourself, no questions asked, ...axed.

Been tried since the 1960s doesn’t work. Two things do work, incarceration, and Execution. Shoot the POS, make sure the are dead.
