‘There’s a concerted effort to make people afraid of crime,’ Moriarty claims

"White supremacy is ingrained everywhere," Moriarty said. "White supremacy is what we all live in. It's the water."

************************************************************

During a May 28 event, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty explained she believes there’s an effort to cause the public to fear crime.

“Moderate Democrats have done a lot of work in making people afraid of downtown Minneapolis,” she said. “There is a concerted effort to make people afraid of crime.”

The conversation took place between Moriarty and Dr. T. Anansi Wilson, a Mitchell Hamline School of Law professor. The discussion centered around being “good trouble” and activism.

“White supremacy is ingrained everywhere,” Moriarty said. “White supremacy is what we all live in. It’s the water. It’s what we swim in here.”

Wilson agreed and took it a step further, explaining his belief that white supremacy is embedded in all public policy, including the Constitution. “We have to think about the Constitution as the living will of the white supremacist, slave-owning, genocidal, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, cis-heterosexist, capitalistic, classics [sic] maniacs, right,” Wilson said.

Moriarty, a white, lesbian woman, was elected to serve as Hennepin County attorney in 2022. Her campaign included progressive approaches to criminal justice such as “restorative justice programs” and “alternatives to incarceration.”

“Crime is down,” Moriarty said repeatedly throughout the conversation.

She also discussed her advice for current law students, which was to ask more questions. “You talk about the rule of law, it’s like, what is that? I mean, I kind of wonder how anybody talks about the rule of law now. Wasn’t Roe v. Wade rule of law? I mean, what happened to that?” Moriarty said.

“Yes, you can,” Moriarty replied when asked if the public can expect her to seek reelection. She explained that her office has been involved in a lot of good work, including expungement clinics and reevaluating sentences of individuals who are incarcerated.

“There’s so many people we haven’t charged on aiding and abetting,” Moriarty said when discussing how proud she is of the work she’s been doing as Hennepin County attorney. “The office used to charge people who were there with aiding and abetting, and we don’t do that anymore.”

She also pushed back on the notion that she harbors an anti-police bias. “I have nothing against law enforcement, I want everybody to be held accountable. That doesn’t mean punished, by the way, but accountability is important. Sometimes that’s restorative practices, most of the time it should be restorative practices.”

However, police demonstrate “fragility to any kind of feedback or criticism,” Moriarty claimed.

Days after the interview, Moriarty’s office dropped charges against a state trooper for a fatal use of force incident last year, citing her office’s inability to “prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred.”

This cuck is insane.

Heard a good attack on the phony FBI statistics that people are stupid to be worried about crime as crime rates are down.

He said many crimes are taken off the books because criminals will be let go with low bail or no bail or easy reduced charges so most are not prosecuted. So “rate” is down.
Plus categories can be manipulated to show harmless looking crimes-—not harmless to the victims.

And math comparisons can be moved around such as percentages looking big or small. As 5 RVs stolen last year and 4 this year is an 80% drop. (I think I did that right. No good at math which was too racist for me to take in school.)

She looks like a lesbian UU church preacher.

Good one.

Wonder how many there are all over the country. Elizabeth Warren, Jennfer Granholm, Nancy Pelosi, Gretchen Whitmer, Liz Cheney, Rashida Tlaib. No wonder a record number of males are marrying much later than ever.

So, we are supposed to be perfectly fine about crimes being committed?

Eh. No big deal. Some burglar just shot your neighbor’s wife. You should be perfectly fine with that.

OH boy! Dr. Moriarty’s lesbo daughter thinks people are being MADE to fear crime? Like what- the crime acceleration doesn’t exist? Stick your head in the sand and blame people who NOTICE crap is really happening due to Lefties deliberat e actions— evident all over!

Reminds of the economic joke Ronald Reagan told- just substitute “Fear of Crime” and “When you have a crime committed against you” for the two ends of the joke.

This one: “Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours.”

I0W: Fear of crime is when you learn of a neighbor robbed, attacked or killed. Real crime is when YOU are attacked!

And “Recovery begins when Xiden loses HIS Job!”

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office is responsible for investigating all unexpected deaths in Hennepin County as well as neighboring Dakota and Scott counties. The office determines who and why a person died, which may lead to criminal charges being filed by prosecutors.

A sociopath such as Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty lies without flinching while Derek Chauvin sits in prison charged falsely for murder.

If they can falsely charge police officers for murder, they can falsely charge anyone for murder.

Minneapolis doesn't just have a crime problem, it has a massive problem with a corrupt legal system.

‘There’s a concerted effort to make people afraid of crime,’

Get ready for another anti-gun push! This is what happened in the 1960s when crime spiraled out of control under the Johnson administration bringing in the 1968 gun Control Law which was supposed to stop crime but did not.

1968...
“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...

“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.

Satisfied? In stead they went to the next step in banning guns, then the next and next....When they thought they had banned A-s-s-sault Rifles they made a grab for single shot .50 Cal rifles. They will never be satisfied till they have all of them banned.

““There is a concerted effort to make people afraid of crime.””

Of course it takes the expenditure of a lot of money to make people realize that being a victim of a crime would hurt them badly.

And the expenditure of even more to help them understand that their fear is racist and probably Nazi. They need to get over that fear so they will continue to go places where they will be crime victims. Anything else is unfair to the criminals.
