For woke pols, violent crime’s solely an issue when it impacts them personally: Meet Shivanthi Sathanandan.
A bigwig in Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Celebration, she vowed within the aftermath of the George Floyd killing to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Division.
“Say it with me. DISMANTLE The Minneapolis Police Division,” she urged: It has “systematically failed the Black Group,” so it’s “time to construct a brand new infrastructure that works for ALL communities.”
However now she’s gotten carjacked in entrance of her home and left with severe accidents, so she’s singing a brand new tune.
“These males knew what they had been doing. I’ve NO DOUBT they’ve carried out this earlier than. But they’re nonetheless on OUR STREETS. Killing moms. Giving infants psychological trauma {that a} lifetime of remedy can not ease. With no hesitation and no regret,” she thundered on Fb.
And: “REMEMBER ME if you end up desirous about supporting letting juveniles and younger individuals out of custody to roam our streets as a substitute of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.”
Sure, it appears to be like like rank hypocrisy: The place was this outrage when the insurance policies that individuals like Sathanandan demanded noticed crime skyrocket in Minneapolis (and Chicago, and Los Angeles, and New York)?
The victims of the elevated crime in Minneapolis are (as they’re in different massive cities) disproportionately black, with current stats exhibiting about 65% of homicide victims are black in a metropolis that’s 63% white.
It’s clear somebody’s systematically failing the black group right here.
However it ain’t the cops: It’s the soft-on-crime lefties like Sathanandan who let crooks run wild.
But possibly it’s a real revelation for her — a contemporary occasion of the late Irving Kristol’s well-known quip, “A conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged.”
At the very least this former crime-lover is lastly speaking sense.
Slicing thugs breaks as a result of they’re children solely pushes them additional down the legal path.
And all crooks should be held accountable for his or her actions — in any other case, society falls aside.
Sathanandan’s sociopathic cries to abolish the MPD present simply how totally detached progs are to the struggling their favored insurance policies trigger.
Till it hits them straight, in fact.
Then it’s Def Con 1.
