Illinois eager to join Democrats' pro-crime experiment
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/12/22

Posted on 09/13/2022 2:49:47 AM PDT by Libloather

In New York, so-called "bail reform" is having tragic consequences. More accurately called the "get out of jail no matter what" law, it has helped some of the worst predators throughout the state commit violent crimes over and over again as they repeatedly pass through the jail's revolving door. The problem is so bad that polls show Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is in serious jeopardy of losing her election two months from now. Hochul is in denial, refusing to act to fix the problem and instead blaming her state's problem on guns.

**SNIP**

In Washington state, Democrats in the state legislature attempted to neuter police throughout their state by making it illegal to pursue suspects faster than the speed limit. Criminals driving stolen cars figured out that they could flee crime scenes by simply driving up a few miles above the speed limit. More than a thousand people have thus evaded state troopers just this calendar year, to say nothing of local police. Democrats have not been punished yet for doing this, but they may be soon.

**SNIP**

Another shoe is about to drop in Illinois, thanks to Democrats' 2021 passage of the SAFE-T Act, many provisions of which go into effect this coming January. Unless this law is fixed, the bill will abolish cash bail for nearly all defendants, bar police from removing trespassers from homes and businesses, and give bail-jumpers a 48-hour head start before the police can even start trying to track them down.

Criminal-coddling policies are having serious political consequences for Democrats in other states. Much more importantly, they are having tragic, life-altering, and life-ending consequences for the innocent victims of the criminals whom these policies seem almost designed to enable.

12 Sept: Breitbart: DOJ Refuses to Release Biden Administration Plan to Intervene in 2022 Election
by Joel B. Pollak
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is refusing to release 15 pages of documents explaining the Biden administration’s strategy to implement a “voter access” policy that is being coordinated with left-wing groups just weeks before the 2022 election...

President Joe Biden issued an executive order on “access to voting” on Sunday that instructs federal government agencies to promote voter registration, help Americans apply to vote by mail, and “combat misinformation,” among other measures...

But don’t you know, there’s not a dime’s bit of difference between Democrats and Republicans. I learned that from FR posters. I guess voting is a waste of time.

Just as I feel sad for upstate New Yorkers, I feel sad for downstate Illinoisans. They don’t deserve this.

Democrats are worse than Ebola. They are a virus, invading the body politic until it dies a gruesome death and then it moves on to its next host.

... blaming her state's problem on guns.

No, it's Trump's fault. Either that or Global Warming.

This is no longer an experiment. The science is pretty well affirmed (but apparently not yet “settled”), that letting major felons out of prison leads to far greater recidivism than waiting until parole hearings first, after a period of good behavior, and still exhibiting an abundance of caution, until after several parole hearings substantiate the judgment of releasing on parole.

Illinois cannot be made into a sh!thole. It is already one.

But it would be a deeper sh!thole.

The whole state is infested.

One way to take over a city/state/country is to make it so miserable to live in that the people cry out for salvation.

And when they do, you’re standing there with a new (Marxist) government ready to go.

Could this be more obvious?

I guess they’ll just have to change their spewing of, “if it saves even one life...” to “What difference, at this point, do a few thousand lives a year make when compared to the inconvenience for violent prisoners being segregated - segregation is racist”

The only “difference” I see can be described as such,

Democrats are driving this country off a cliff at 200mph.

Republicans are driving this country off THE SAME CLIFF at 180mph.

Huge Difference, This country will last 10% longer under Republicans.

Releasing violent criminals...

So they will commit more crimes...

So they can scare you out of voting for Republicans...

So the government can pass more freedom restricting laws (on you, not them)...

ALL Illinoisians, you mean. I live Northwest of Chicago, and in recent years, we have already had a serious rise in crime, spillover from the Windy City.
Now, eliminating bail and hampering the police even further is only going to make matters worse.
OH, and lest I forget, we don’t yet have any idea how many illegals will be showing up, or how many are here already.
Not to mention druggies running around.
Lock, load, and carry.
If you don’t already have a weapon, get one, and learn how to use it.
And pray you’ll never have to, but don’t hesitate if you need to.
