The New York Times reports that crime is starting to worry “progressives” — not the phenomenon, but the politics of it. I don’t know whether progressives in general are worried, but the ones at the Times sure are.
This Times article focuses on the success of Eric Adams in the Democratic mayoral primary. The Times frets that the winner of the race (at least in terms of the popular vote) “focused much of his message on exposing progressive slogans and policies that he said threatened the lives of ‘Black and brown babies’ and were pushed by ‘many young, white and rich’ people.”

Since criminals are democrats they have to keep their base out of jail no bail and no prosecutions.

I saw the headline "Panic at the New York Times", and automatically thought "feel good story for the day". Guess I'll need to come back to read more comments to find out what is was about. The comments on here are usually more informative than the articles anyway.

Once again we have an article where someone from the left is quoted as referring to a "racist dog whistle". People need to start pointing out that only dogs are supposed to be able to hear dog whistles. Which means that if you hear a "racist dog whistle", you are probably a racist.

This is another periodic headline that I no longer read and believe.

Tim McVey type of truck parked in front of NY Slimes would only be a pin hole in eliminating the evil left

No need to worry. Progressives all over the country have accepted nightly burning, looting and murder as simply one of the costs of change. They have no problems with blacks taking their own reparations since the rest of us are so slow in awarding them new homes, cars, Nikes and various electronic devices. Won't it be a great life once they are all satiated and they thank us for finally relieving their long suffering and pain endured before they got their "white privilege" stuff?

The Dems have released a monster via BLM and Antifa that they thought they could control. Now they can't put the genie back in the bottle and have no idea what to do. Anti-police sentiment sounds good on paper but as violent crime increases, the social workers aren't going to be the ones to stop it!
The author is right in the sense that many of those marching in these protests are the rich, white, pampered princes and princesses of the uber-elite who go back to their rich lifestyles where protection is guaranteed. Any of those arrested should be forced to live in the dangerous inner cities they've created with their anti-police rhetoric for 5 years. Their perspective would be changed dramatically. Oh and they would be banned from calling 911.

The vaunted NYT is badly in need of some Drano. Drano only has a pH of 11, so several doses may help. Their pipes have been clogged for so long, it probably won't help.

The Democrats are making some costly mistakes here that I believe will have long term consequences - positive ones for the country. They believe their own twisted version of Trump’s place in history. They think we are a small powerless minority and that the vast majority are giddy over their theft of the election. This is becoming less true by the day. They somehow think the violent looting thugs in our major cities have become ‘the voice of the people’ and have unleashed the full force of their Marxist, America hating insanity. They think we will be cowed by their bullying, even to the point of threatening to nuke legal gun owners. They are going to go down in flames. Count on it.

The only thing that matters to these rabid leftists is POWER.
They're always afraid of losing that so they are always scheming in order to keep it.
They are NEVER interested in doing good for the country. . . .NEVER.
They would tromp all over the American citizen with no thought about it.
they do it all the time.

This is only too typical of Progressive/Democrats. They care nothing about the harm and suffering their policies cause. They only care if their policies will bite them in the arse politically. And, instead of doing anything to actually fix the problem, they will spin (E.g., lie), deny there is a problem, slander whomever points out the problem, and/or blame their opposition. And, the MSM will back them up.
