America on X - "A man with eight previous arrests in New York City alone went on an unprovoked stabbing spree that left two men dead and a woman in critical condition. The justice system is failing to protect the people. Americans deserve safe cities."
Two men killed, one woman critical in random NYC stabbing spree

Soros-backed LA DA George Gascon loses re-election bid - "Progressive Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon has lost his reelection bid to Nathan Hochman...   Gascon, who came into office in 2020, had survived two recall attempts after they failed to qualify for the ballot. On Tuesday, voters also approved a measure to partially roll back a ballot measure co-authored by Gascon in 2014 that reclassified some low-level drug and property crimes as misdemeanors. The Tuesday results make shoplifting a felony for repeat offenders and increase penalties for some drug charges.  During his time in office, Gascon barred his prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, ceased the prosecution of juveniles as adults, and ended cash bail for nonviolent felonies and misdemeanors.  Under Gascon’s term, property crimes, violent crimes, robberies, shoplifting, car theft, and burglaries all increased, California Department of Justice data showed. "This is evidence that the reality we are experiencing every day in L.A. County is not some illusion, that the escalating criminal activity we’ve been seeing, hearing, and feeling is supported by the numbers. We are all less safe with George Gascon as DA," Hockman said in a July press release. "

Greg Price on X - "Over 100 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, including 18 fatally. Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed it on Richard Nixon in his press conference today. No, that is not a joke."

N.S. killer out on statutory release charged with attempted murder - "A Nova Scotia killer charged with attempted murder earlier this month in Halifax once tried to stab a correctional officer, threatening to kill the guard when he got out of jail, and tried to slit another inmate’s throat.  But despite his violent track record, Canada allowed him out of prison before his sentence expired.  Robert Harris Lamb, 34, saw his statutory release temporarily revoked for cocaine use just four months before he allegedly tried to shoot another man dead just after dawn on Sept. 5 in Halifax. Paramedics took the victim to hospital with a gunshot wound, but he’s expected to survive. Even though a psychologist had assessed Lamb in 2022 as likely to reoffend violently when he got out of prison, he was released May 19, 2023, on statutory release, the law that requires federal offenders who have served two-thirds of a fixed-length sentence be released to serve the remainder of their sentence in the community, under supervision.  “The idea is to sort of phase back into full release into society as opposed to going cold turkey from being in jail to being out on the street again,” said Wayne MacKay, a professor emeritus at Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law. “The theory is a good one, but when it doesn’t work it raises concerns and questions.”"

Ken Lee attacker gets 15 minutes, U.S. teen looking at life - "Mississippi teen Carly Gregg is accused of parking three bullets in her mother. She was 14 years old at the time... If convicted, she faces 40 years in prison... Contrast that with the treatment of the little darlings who killed Ken Lee, 59, in downtown Toronto on Dec. 18, 2022. Lee was struggling with homelessness. Police say he was swarmed and stabbed by a gaggle of eight girls. It seems at least some of those teens were on a quest, in the words of Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange, for a little of the “old ultra-violence.” Eight of them were accused: Three 13-year-olds, three 14-year-olds, and two 16-year-olds. The initial beef was second-degree murder. Three pleaded guilty to manslaughter and another to assault causing bodily harm.  Four more will be in the dock in 2025: Three for murder, and one for manslaughter.  But if crime-weary citizens were expecting a big statement on crime and punishment, they got it although probably not in the way they had hoped.  The first girl to plead guilty — 13 at the time of the attack — will not face any more jail time. Community-based programs, blah, blah, blah. She pleaded to manslaughter. And over the boards comes Justice David Stewart Rose who credited the battering brat with 15 months of effective pre-trial custody plus another 15 months of probation.  The judge said because she pleaded guilty early and was forced to strip naked during her incarceration, well, she’d suffered quite enough... In Canada, activist judges and courts have put the idea of a happy medium on the shelf. You don’t necessarily want to send some dumb kid to prison for decades but nor should they be out on the streets in the blink of an eye.  At the time of Lee’s murder, I was having lunch with two veteran Toronto homicide detectives. One described the young killers as a “bunch of wild animals.”  The cop added: “He was just minding his own business, he wasn’t bothering a soul. I don’t think they really cared. And I don’t think they much care about the consequences either because, let’s be honest here, there are none.”"

‘Stop being a bunch of bleeding hearts’: Ford slams Ottawa over bail laws again - "“We need the federal government to change the Criminal Code once and for all, and stop being a bunch of bleeding hearts,” Ford said at an unrelated news conference on Tuesday morning. “Because people are fed up with this crime here. They’re absolutely done with it.”"

Our car was stolen out of our driveway in Burlington. We knew where it was. Nothing was done. This is how institutions crumble : r/canada - "The crazy part is if you know where it is, you can't go get it, because you can be charged yourself."
"Exactly and this is not just annecdotal. One of my best friends has been awaiting trial for about two years now regarding a break and enter charge for taking their dog back after it was stolen."
"I wonder if that charge has the option of a jury trial. I can’t imagine a jury pool would convict someone in such a case"
"Unfortunately the ridiculous cost of hiring a law firm to fight the charges would bankrupt many people or at least put a major dent in their retirement plans. The system is rigged against the declining middle class."
"Even after jury nullification you still lost tons of money and time. You lose."
"If you make a call to police and they say thee isn't a thing they can do, but you decide to handle it yourself, you can be charged for pre-meditated break and enter. If you unlawfully enter another property, even for your own property, you are liable to be charged.  If you do it without calling it in, you risk having the cops called on you for being where you shouldn't be even in retrieving your own stolen goods.  I have a friend who had a dirtbike stolen. We both knew where it was, we called to report it and the RCMP told us there wasn't anything they could do. So we said we would just go get it and he told us we would be charged with BNE and trespassing since we knowingly were going to retrieve the bike."

Our car was stolen out of our driveway in Burlington. We knew where it was. Nothing was done. This is how institutions crumble : r/canada - "I just got off the phone with 911. Some guys were trying to start my building on fire (again, for like the 30th time) and were also going through the garage trying to open cars.  911 gave me the gears and hung up. They sent a cruiser by and the female cop didn't even get out of her vehicle, just asked them to please leave. Then went on her way.  I know a few cops so I kind of get it. If she would have got involved, she would have seen they all have warrants out for arrests. And that means paperwork. And in New Canada, that also means she will still be doing paperwork when the criminals are released back onto the streets.  Broken system."

This is how institutions crumble : r/canada - "It’s funny because a few years ago my bbq was stolen off my patio, and I tracked them down through Facebook marketplace trying to sell it and got their home address and everything. I gave it all to the police and their words were “it’s not our job to retrieve stolen items, you’ll have to go get it yourself”. Ok? You could at least go talk to the guy and let him know he was caught…"

Our car was stolen out of our driveway in Burlington. We knew where it was. Nothing was done. This is how institutions crumble : r/canada - "I found my stolen bike on Facbeook marketplace a few weeks ago. Cops did nothing so I went and stole it back."
"I live in Vancouver. You basically can't lock a bike up in the entire Lower Mainland and expect it to be there for more than 10 mins. You can't bike unless you can always have your bike with you. If some addict is cutting your lock with a power saw on the busiest street no one will even report it because the cops won't do anything about it anyways."
"Same in Toronto."
"About 10 years ago somebody broke into my brother's home while he was asleep in the house, stole his backpack with his laptop, music collection, and some unclaimed scratch tickets that he had signed and hadn't cashed in yet.  The thief actually crossed out my brother's name, wrote his name on the ticket, and cashed it at the local gas station. The worker knew my brother and knew he had been recently robbed, so let my brother know the name of the guy.  Brother made a police report, and identified the thief by name. Nothing was ever done."

"It's already starting in some places. Where I live there is a small Island community that there were massive amounts of thefts going on, everyone knew who was doing it, and since the only way on and off the Island is a ferry, the locals were seeing them come on the island, steal shit, store it at their camp, and then move it back to the mainland a couple days later. All reported to the police. Nothing was done about it for months.  So the locals grouped up, found the people, burned their camps to the ground, beat the shit out of them and sent them off the island on the ferry back. It's THEN the cops were interested in what was going on, and wanted to know who did it.  Crazy thing is no one knows who did it, not a single person on the island has and clue who these people were or what. But it's really fucking telling when the police don't get involved until the criminals get hurt.  https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/deer-island-vigilantism-fire-thefts-residents-rcmp-1.6905525  These kind of stories are going to get far more common."
"Similar happened in my community.  Group of thieves stealing stuff overnight, loading into trucks, and hauling it away.  Everyone in town knew who they were, cops wouldn’t do anything.. something about needing to catch them in the act “no proof the pickup truck full of bbqs are the same bbqs that were stolen last night” type of deal… But we don’t have rcmp on duty for night shift, only on call, and they wouldn’t call in an officer for “low level” crime.. so these thieves were just roaming free every night. Plenty of calls from homeowners watching people walk out of their garage with a handful of tools, cops never showed up.. and plenty of camera footage but their faces were always covered, “no proof”  One night 4 or 5 guys piled out of a pickup truck with no plate, beat the crap out of a couple of the thieves.. broke bones… then tossed them in box of the truck, hauled them to the hospital, left them on the sidewalk outside the emergency room.  Cops threw a fit (never caught anyone) and a good chunk of the crime ring moved on to another community.  I’m sure it wasn’t that one single incident that caused the group to move on…. plenty of people were getting impatient with it all, but that is the one incident that really stood out to me, and the problem disappeared shortly after.  On one hand, you want to be the person condemning the violence… on the other hand, nobody died, you gotta laugh a bit and can’t help but feel like they deserved it."
"This is very much the case with rural crime where I am. Cops only care once someone does something about the problem themselves."
"I've seen advice saying something like "tell the police you're going over with 4 friends and baseball bats to get your stuff back". Suddenly a few patrol cars will meet you there."

Our car was stolen out of our driveway in Burlington. We knew where it was. Nothing was done. This is how institutions crumble : r/canada - "If you want to look at how staffing is managed in my area you'd think speeding the the most egregious offence."

'Execution-style' murderer was spared deportation in 2021 - "Months after he was spared from deportation on humanitarian grounds, Yohanna David Chol lured a man into a dark stretch of Clarence Street and fired seven bullets into his back in what prosecutors described as an “execution-style” killing... In order to preserve Chol’s right to a fair trial, the jury was unaware of his lengthy criminal history, and jurors didn’t know Chol had been deemed a danger to the public who was scheduled to be deported to South Sudan in December 2021. According to his federal court records, Chol was born in Sudan in 1986 and came to Canada in 2003 as a refugee.  His time in Canada was marked by violence and criminal convictions for an array of offences, including assault, drug trafficking and obstructing a peace officer.  Chol also suffered from poor mental health and was diagnosed with schizophrenia, anxiety and depression, and was prescribed 11 medications, according to court records.  Chol was stripped of his status as a permanent resident and his numerous criminal convictions rendered him inadmissible to Canada, and led the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration to deem Chol a danger to the Canadian public.  The ministry ordered his removal to South Sudan, but Chol fought the decision in 2017. His immigration lawyer argued Chol’s removal should be reconsidered because mental-health care was inaccessible in South Sudan and he would be at risk if he was forced to return. The case languished for years and Chol’s mental-health condition deteriorated.  Chol was ordered to be deported to South Sudan on Dec. 13 , 2021, but, two days before his scheduled removal, a federal court judge ruled that doing so would have put him at risk of death or inhumane treatment. Justice Sébastien Grammond granted him a stay, allowing Chol to remain in Canada and have his case analyzed.  Grammond agreed with arguments put forward by Chol’s lawyer, Ayesha Kumararatne, and ruled the removal officer who had looked at Chol’s case failed to consider new evidence concerning his mental health."
Left wing logic - if he hadn't been at risk of deportation, he never would've killed the guy, so we need open borders

Thread by @Will_Tanner_1 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Here's what really isn't understood when I say "the South Africanization of America":  It's not just that crime is going up; crime always happens. It's that everywhere turns into a potential scene of crime and bloody murder, with no respite.  It's total war, but with crime 🧵👇
The stabbing at the University of Arizona really shows this. Some girl was going to a school where she thought she'd have fun, but instead, she was attacked by some knife-wielding black woman for no real "reason". What should be a relatively nice and calm place is instead, now, beset by violent crime and stabbings motivated not even by a desire to steal, but just anti-white hatred and a desire to harm. Were this to happen in some slum in Chicago, burned-out crack house in Detroit, or street corner in East St. Louis, it's not a story. Such things have always and will always happen in such areas; the solution is just to avoid them. But what's new is this happening in nice places; what used to be confined to the slums and "bad areas" has spread to everyone everywhere, with no clear way to avoid it other than to live in some secluded spot where the "fellow classmates" of the world dare not tread
So now you have homeless crack addicts lighting up on Venice Beach, shooting and stabbings in the nice parts of Manhattan, and "fellow classmates" stabbing their white classmates on pleasant college campuses. What used to be confined to the slums has now spread like a cancer to everywhere, and the natural result is that everywhere now feels like Rorke's Drift under siege with the Zulus charging in a Bull's Head, and some potentially already inside the biscuit box perimeter. Hence the stress, the fear, the worry becoming omnipresent: there's no escape, and often even protesting attack is seen as beyond the pale and "racist"
But while this is new to America, at least in the post-1970s era, it's not new to Africa. Nowhere is safe from crime in the Congo. No farm in Zimbabwe was safe when Mugabe came for them.  And, most importantly, the same is true of South Africa, where only Orania and a few other similarly secluded spots are safe. Everywhere else, from neighborhoods to big cities, face a constant onslaught of crime and the potential for disaster. Take Johannesburg and Durban. They used to not only be safe, but were beautiful. Mike Hoare, for example, describes the Durban of the pre-Mandela period as a jewel. But then came the South Africanization of South Africa with Mandela, and quickly car flamethrowers became a reasonable thing to strap onto your car if you had to take a trip outside the gate of your house. Then things got even worse and even houses with electric fences became unsafe due to the plethora of predatory criminals roaming about; and isolated farms were placed under siege, much as they had been in Rhodesia during the Bush War. Now, what's easy to see is that pretty much the whole country has to deal with the constant threat of "fellow classmate"-style stabbings. There's often not even a reason for it, as @k9_reaper has pointed out when describing the farm attacks; just hatred of the Boers and a desire to destroy. And destroy they do, with horrific results
So now entire cities like Johannesburg are effectively rotten hulks taken over by criminals and squatters, even the nice neighborhoods face the threat of crime and destruction (as became all too evident during the 2021 riots), and its highly dangerous to live on a farm. Everywhere, in short, is the potential scene of an unspeakably brutal crime, and the only solution is to leave for Orania or leave for somewhere safe like Switzerland, if they'll let you in
That is what South Africanization will mean when it comes to America. We're, unfortunately, used to the idea of areas in cities being no go zones for normal people, taxpayers. But as this progresses, it will mean entire cities, entire regions become no-go zones where one is unsafe for merely existing and the government either can't or won't protect you from the rampaging criminals. Private security does what it can, but that's only so much. Take from that what you will. IMO it means unpleasantness in heavily populated and isolated but attackable areas, as in South Africa, not "collapse," which is yet to happen there and so unlikely to happen here. But it's not unhelpful to understand self-defense in all manner of situations, with books like those of @wayofftheres and @DonShift3 being quite helpful in understanding what further South Africanization will probably mean and how you can fight it. Here's what it looked like, for example, as a white and Indian militia fought off an advancing column of rioters in 2021
"We're all Rhodesians now," as the meme goes, because they want to Mugabify the world. But we're also all South Africans now, as soft-on-crime, "rehabilitative justice" policies mean criminals face no consequences of note, anti-white hatred is common, and everyone's unsafe."

Ontario pushes for stricter bail rules with new cabinet role - The Globe and Mail - "Ontario’s new associate minister of auto theft and bail reform says the provincial government will build as many jails as necessary to keep violent offenders behind bars and is calling on Ottawa to stiffen bail rules to keep people accused of violent crimes from being released into the community.  Graham McGregor, who was named to the newly created role in Premier Doug Ford’s cabinet last month, said the federal government is to blame for the “revolving door” that sees too many repeat offenders let back onto the streets.  Mr. McGregor said it’s up to the Liberals – or any future government – to decide how to go about strengthening the law, including whether to use the notwithstanding clause to override court rulings that have made it more difficult to keep some people in jail while awaiting trial... The Ontario government, along with other provinces and the federal Conservatives, has been highly critical of the federal government on the issue of bail reform, arguing the system is too lenient and puts the public at risk. Those complaints have grown louder after a string of headline-grabbing incidents of violence in Ontario and across the country in which charges have been laid against people out on bail or on probation... Previous attempts to strengthen bail rules at the federal level have faced court challenges over allegations that restricting bail violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects the right of individuals “not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause.” The Supreme Court of Canada has issued rulings on the matter, including a landmark 2017 decision that said the default position should be releasing accused offenders on bail at the earliest reasonable opportunity and with minimal conditions.  Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has said that, if elected, he would use the notwithstanding clause to override Charter-protected rights when it comes to matters of criminal justice. No federal government has ever used the clause, which is routinely used in Quebec and increasingly by other provincial governments. Mr. Poilievre has not offered specifics on how he might use the clause, including on bail reform, aside from saying he would overrule a Supreme Court ruling that struck down life sentences with no possibility of parole for mass murderers."

Scott Adams on X - "It's stunning the degree to which Democrats have legalized various forms of crime in America while simultaneously turning the DOJ and FBI into criminals.
Defund the police
Stop arresting shoplifters
Let the homeless control sidewalks
Create an asylum path for migrants willing to lie
Sanctuary cities
Lie about the amount of crime incoming
Allow teams of assassins and terrorists into country
DEI (legalized discrimination)
Censorship of Americans via proxies
Rhetoric that encourages assassins
Elections that can't be fully audited
Then Democrats lawfare Trump, his former staffers, and the J6ers, while canceling those who support Trump.  It looks exactly like a plan to destroy America."

YOU SAID IT: Revolving door of injustice - "Having spent almost 40 years in law enforcement, I find it very difficult to recognize the deteriorating current justice system. The emphasis seems to be on getting those facing criminal charges or having been convicted of serious crimes back on the streets ASAP. So much for deterrence to others.How can the Law Society of Ontario condone this practice? Since Justin Trudeau came to power almost 10 long years ago, serious crimes in Canada have risen. This is a direct result of Trudeau’s revolving-door justice system, including weak bail conditions and watered-down sentencing by judges acting more like social justice warriors than the adjudicators of the laws."

He found the rapist in the truck with her.   He did what every good father would do- protect his child. Clearly the legal system won’t.   Free Aaron Spencer. The family has been through enough."
Dr. Dad, PhD 🔄🔼◀️🔽▶️ on X - "When people take justice into their own hands like this, the rejoinder is that they should have called the police instead.
