Woke Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu, who has been mayor of Boston since November 2021 has long supported a progressive approach to crime but is now looking for some of the most basic offenses to be completely off-limits to prosecution.

Wu has argued for charges including shoplifting and disorderly conduct to be beyond the reach of prosectors along with other serious crimes including the receiving of stolen property and even driving with a suspended license.

But Wu's progressive outlook goes even further with the 39-year-old seemingly comfortable with offenders that commit 'quality of life' crimes getting off scot free.

They include the breaking and entering of property, wanton and malicious destruction of property, minor's in possession of alcohol and drug possession including the distribution of marijuana and non-marijuana types.

Those who commit such wanton crimes would receive little more than a slap on the wrist.

The offenses are all on a 'do-not-prosecute' list that was created by former Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins.

Rollins, who later joined the Biden administration but resigned amid ethical violations, had advocated for the non-prosecution of more 'low-level' offenses.

In a 2021 Boston Mayoral Candidate Questionnaire, from Progressive Massachusetts, a nonprofit organization that tracks and ranks how progressive elected officials, Wu was asked if she supported Rollins list.

'Do you support the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office's do-not-prosecute list and expanded approach to dealing with such low-level offenses? YES/ NO?' Progressive Mass asked in its survey.

'Yes,' Wu responded.

When Wu was asked if she supported closing the Boston Police gang database, Wu again said yes.

Critics have argued that young people, primarily black and Hispanic males, have been incorrectly profiled as gang members and been entered in the database. .

That is akin to homosexuals being incorrectly profiled as most likely to be infected with HIV.

May all find redemption in the risen Lord Jesus via effectual repentant, regenerating faith in Him who saves sinners on His account, praise God.

Well it appears the melting pot experiment that was the USA is almost over. We can most certainly do better with what’s allowed in this country but no one does a damn thing.

Actually it is the product of the American black family culture , the decline of which the Left has effectively fostered and perpetrated for 60 years, that sees the most long-term crime prevalence. Thereby fostering dependence upon the State, and power to the Left which inculcates the victim entitlement mentality by which the Left obtains the power they lust for by portraying themselves as saviors of the perpetually oppressed.

CULTURE, NOT COLOR: Spiritual declension and liberal corruption of the American black family in particular and its correlation to behavioral problems

[From The Deer Stand]

A cop was shot and killed in Minneapolis yesterday. Michelle Wu’s, and other woke Democrats, are responsible for cop deaths by their soft-on-crime stance. These politicians are working hard to turn their cities into sh** holes.

Yep, she’s a Communist. Fostering conditions of chaos to make people cry out for the government to help, at which point they will be there with the boot on their necks.

[Vision]

What she lacks in looks she makes up for in foolishness, narcissism, and racism.

[T.B. Yoits]

What Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is saying, while trying not to say, is that Boston is circling the drain. Cities in the United States outlived their purpose a century ago.

Like other cities removing certain crimes from prosecution, Boston doesn't have sufficient assistant prosecutors, public defenders, nor money to pay them nor to house the number of criminals they have.

Expect to see more businesses close or relocate, and commercial vacancies get even worse.

The alarm bell has already sounded. She's just giving the cover stories as to why more criminals will be on the street.

How can she say things like this with a straight face ?

[marron]

Her do-not-prosecute list is the de factor situation in California and a number of cities around the country already.

Her husband must be a real doormat.
Betting that one way or another their marriage isn’t going to last.

I wish to hell some of our politicians and public officials would say it.

The Democrat help to the cartels is on such a massive scale they should be more directly accused of siding with the cartels, even if you don’t have “proof” of actual bribery.

For sure they get some money directly, most is funneled through interest groups.

Just like the Saudis were funding US “environmental” groups.

And I’m sorry but of course they are buying off the police.

She Chinee. Commie to the core.

I get your point, but just try shoplifting in China. Commies are fine with letting our criminals go, but a different story when it comes to theirs.
