Comrade DeBlasio will set NYC back forty years in terms of violent crime. Soon enough it will be just like Chicago.
Do liberals actually LIKE crime? It almost seems like it.
Fixed it for ya.
What we have in most Dem controlled cities is analogous: Dem politicians are soft on black crime in order to curry favor with black voters (if they actually arrested and prosecuted blacks at the same rate as whites for the same crimes, at least half the black male population would disappear overnight).
The pols and their big contributors live with adequate security, of course. Working class whites and Hispanics are just fair game, and if they are union members their paychecks support the Dem machine whether they like it or not.
Rich white liberals+corrupt black, white and Hispanic politicians+ unions guarantee a one party state no matter how bad the crime rate is or how bad most public services are (look at Chicago).
As middle class whites, blacks and Hispanics leave you get a gentry class and some overpaid public employees lording it over a mass of feral ghetto rats inhabiting ruins, just like Rome around 600AD.
“Do liberals actually LIKE crime? It almost seems like it.”
I think they do. It gives them an excuse to go after guns, champion the poor and ferals because of “gun crime”, and then they can go home and feel good about themselves.
