This mayor is nuttier than a fruitcake.

Those so called critics are all crackpot Republicans.

Adams did not come up with this plan on his own. It was developed after weeks or months of meetings involving 70 stakeholders.

The Blaze ignores plans for increased prosecution of repeat offenders. It doesn’t mention plans to amend the law regarding $1,000 limit on felony charges. Let me clarify that. Under current law stealing less than a thousand dollars in one establishment is a misdemeanor. Under the proposed new law the $1,000 would be cumulative over several stores.

You hear nothing about a repeat offender data base, or a neighborhood watch program.

Above is a link to the actual plan. None of you will read it. It doesn’t fit your narrative. It only fits the truth.

Sounds good to me. The primary purpose, and one of only a few intended reasons for our federal government, was supposed to be "protecting our borders". It has worked to do the opposite, along with interfering in every aspect of our lives.

It's a joke.

Just like the joke you've made of this once great nation.

Rudy cleaned up NYC.
Must be dems aren't as smart as Rudy.

How to stop the crime:
1. Arrest the thieves
2. Deny them bail
3. Prosecute them to the max
4. Send them to prison for the mqx, deny parole.


F****** DUH.

Proving liberals are dumber than rocks! It doesn't even take that many Pollacks to change a light bulb! Yet it took 70 different entities to come up with this complex brilliant scheme which would actually involve making employers and employees in the private sector agents for the government (civil authorities) in much the same way they are now for the IRS. Absolutely brilliant! I wonder if any of the participants in this hair-brained scheme have an IQ higher than the length of their shoe laces?

What's wrong with Tom's 4-point plan?

Liberalism is truly a mental disease!

Stakeholders That's the problem. Too many cooks in the kitchen syndrome. How can anything good possibly be accomplished by so many competing positions and voices and biases?

'Stakeholders' is part of the language of the Word Economic Forum; it's referred to constantly by defenders of HISA. Inviting outside interests into a discussion of shareholders is almost guaranteed to be counter-productive.

It's hard to see how any policy coming out of so many 'stakeholders' can be called 'progressive' when it puts social entropy on a fast track.

And lawlessness! When cities and municipalities used to enforce their laws, they never had this kind of lawlessness that now characterizes so many blue states.

Since so many people refuse to live by the fear of God in their hearts, then I say put the fear of law enforcement in the citizens' hearts in these cities...and watch things turn around very quickly.
