'when will society stop releasing criminals with multiple offenses ... specially violent offenses?'
'Not till after it stops electing convicted felons who are waiting for their 57 other felony charge trials to start es president I am afraid.'
Left wingers throwing out red herrings again. This is like when they kept going on about Kyle Rittenhouse crossing state lines, as if that were illegal - except worse, because of the ridiculous example given. Plus it's not like before Trump got his "felony" convictions, left wingers weren't pro-crime
Comment (elsewhere): "Oh, so it's Trump's fault and not the Leftist judges and DAs letting violent criminals back out onto the streets. Fucking clowns."

Khan accused of calling victims of crime liars - "Sir Sadiq Khan has been accused of calling victims of London crime liars.  The mayor of London said the city had been subjected to a “relentless and unprecedented attack of lies and hatred” on social media, describing online disinformation as a “global scourge”.  A host of celebrities have spoken out about their fears of rising theft in the capital in recent years. There were nearly 100,000 thefts or attempted thefts in the capital last year, compared with around 45,000 in 2019, according to Home Office data.  However, Sir Sadiq blamed social media “misinformation” for putting off tourists. Laila Cunningham, Reform UK’s candidate for London mayor, responded: “If the Mayor of London wants to encourage more tourism, he should deal with the crime he has allowed to spiral out of control instead of suggesting that victims of crime are liars.”  Announcing a £7m campaign to showcase London to the world and tackle online “disinformation”, Sir Sadiq added: “We are facing a relentless and unprecedented attack of lies and hatred from those wanting to damage our capital’s standing and our hugely important tourism industry... Susan Hall, the leader of the City Hall Conservatives, said that Sir Sadiq “should spend more time trying to fix things as opposed to saying ‘la la la la la, I’m not listening, everything’s fine’.”... Melissa Odabash said this week she is too scared to wear jewellery in public in London after several close calls with thieves on bicycles.  “They’ve tried – they’ve flown past me. I’ve now got straps on my phone, and I don’t wear jewellery,” said the 56-year-old.  The designer, who lives in central London with her husband and two daughters, said she was so angered by a surge in crime under Sir Sadiq that she had considered standing against him in the next mayoral election in 2028.  “I should be Mayor of London. This is the best city in the world, but there are things we need to change. It offers everything – pubs, installations, art, museums, culture,” she said. “But thieves on bikes are scary. We need to make London great again.”...  Rochelle Humes, the singer and television presenter, said it was “too scary” to wear a Rolex in London amid the soaring rates of theft in the capital."
"Victim blaming" is only bad when it hurts the left wing agenda, "misinformation" is anything that hurts the left wing agenda and criticising your country is only the highest form of patriotism when it pushes the left wing agenda

Capital getting more dangerous, say Londoners - "Londoners have said they feel increasingly unsafe in the city, in a blow to Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London.  In a London School of Economics survey, 2,022 adults were asked whether living in the capital had become more or less safe generally. Some 54 per cent of respondents, made up of 61 per cent of women and 46 per cent of men, said they felt less safe than previously... Around 5,180 luxury watches, each worth more than £3,000, were stolen in London between January 2022 and July 2025, of which only 59 were recovered, according to Metropolitan Police data released under a freedom of information request.  There were nearly 100,000 thefts or attempted thefts in the capital in 2025, compared with about 45,000 in 2019, Home Office data showed."
Clearly, they're all victims of misinformation, and need to be reeducated

Austin Justice on X - "AUSTIN MAN climbed onto a sleeping woman's bed, claimed he had a gun, and strangled her until she nearly blacked out. She gouged his eye and beat him with a fan to get him off her.  It was the third West Campus apartment Octavius Brown broke into that morning. In the other two, residents woke to find him exposing himself and masturbating inside their apartments.  Octavius Brown has roughly 30 cases since 2013. Of the 14 charges filed since 2021, 9 were dismissed or rejected.  Last time I covered this man he was getting arrested for robbing a gas station while out on bond for exposing himself and masturbating in public for the tenth time."
Clearly putting criminals in jail is expensive and doesn't stop crime

James Lindsay | Facebook - "A particularly nasty Critical America Theory propaganda line now is to show how much cleaner and nicer foreign cities are and to make the comparison obvious. The fact is Democrats are destroying American cities and keeping them filthy and dangerous on purpose, and then this line. It's important to understand that this is likely part of a sophisticated demoralization campaign meant to make Americans become down on their country and to believe it's failing, and worse-off than others. That makes it seem like the American system is failing. The failure is being intentionally misplaced, though. The Democrats are intentionally failing our cities, usually while blaming Republicans for it in bizarre ways, or just laying the blame at the feet of America, freedom, or capitalism. We need to break this spell and get the blame to fall where it belongs."

Floridap8triot on X - "This video shows an entire New York City subway car descending into widespread violence as passengers beat one another. Scenes like this are not isolated incidents—they reflect a daily reality of disorder that has left our transit system out of control. New Yorkers deserve safe commutes."
Hon. Vickie Paladino on X - "You have to understand that public disorder crimes like this happen every day, and don't make it into the crime stats anymore.  Brawls on the subway and in the street, including outright assault, robbery, drug use, harassment, and general disorder rarely if ever end up with a police report or arrest. This stuff happens every single day.  All of those videos we saw over the last week of rioters climbing on police cars and destroying property should have ended up with mass arrests. They didn't.  Progressives have decided that public order crimes simply don't matter anymore, and have ordered the NYPD to remain as hands-off as possible in most of these situations. That means minor interventions at most, and no arrests unless absolutely necessary.  And of course this has the added benefit of artificially lowering crime stats -- if you don't take a report or make an arrest, there's no crime. Which allows the progressive leadership to claim 'crime is down' even though everyone with two eyes knows things are NOT getting better here.  They credulously brag about how only a handful of arrests were made during the Knicks riots over the last week. Reality is the NYPD probably could have (and should have) made 1000+ arrests. But they're not allowed to do that anymore.  So no, crime is generally not 'down' here in NYC in any meaningful way. Crime stats are down. Arrests are down. The NYPD's authority is down.   But crime most certainly is NOT down."

𝑪𝑨𝑼𝑫𝑰𝑳𝑯𝑶 ᛟ on X - "What most foreigners don’t know is that in 1988, Brazil established the most progressive constitution in world history.  They think Brazil became a narco-state because crime simply overpowered the state—being stronger and controlling more regions or people by thriving financially.  Which is a huge lie. The police can easily enter any favela and arrest any criminal. The real key issue stopping Brazil from becoming safe is the Justice system. Once a criminal is jailed, they are granted all kinds of protections and aid through international NGOs and their lobby with the Brazilian left and the judiciary.  Today's Brazil faces problems deeply correlated with the exact same ones affecting Europe and North America."

The PA Supreme Court bat signals @DaveSunday_
This is pretty crazy: The 5-2 Democrat Court finds Larry Krasner is so quick to falsely concede error in murder cases (to try to free convicted murderers) that it has tasked the Pennsylvania Attorney General with checking to make sure he's not lying. I've *never* seen this. This is a split decision, but shows that the presumption of regulatory for Soros-funded radical leftwing DA Krasner is gone. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has had enough. It needs someone to "enhance the reliability" of proceedings. Yikes!"

Cassie Pritchard on X - "One rhetorical move I dislike from police/prison abolitionists is that they’ll establish examples where *marginal investment in policing/prisons* did not yield a corresponding *marginal increase in safety*, and then argue from this “therefore going to ZERO policing and prisons will have no effect on safety.”   I think this is absurd, because there are absolutely threshold effects for incentives (or, in the case of punishment, disincentives). You could probably cut police budget/headcount by large margins in many (most?) cities without seeing a meaningful rise in crime. But going to *zero* would obviously have a very different effect—there’s usually a gigantic threshold effect whenever you move from zero to *any* degree of incentive/disincentive.   I don’t know if abolitionists are generally sincere in believing there are no threshold effects along the spectrum of punishment, or if they’re just eliding this as a rhetorical strategy, but it does bug me either way."

Apple Lamps on X - "Look at LA, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Philly, NYC, and every other city progressives have had decades to run.  They are case studies in failure.  Homelessness exploded.

Man free to sexually assault children, rules Alberta's top court | National Post - "Alberta’s top court ruled that a deaf man who never learned to communicate can’t be tried for sex crimes, or even assessed for mental fitness to stand trial, because it would violate his Charter rights. This means the man is functionally exempt from the Criminal Code, and is thus free to rape and even murder if he so wishes.  At very least, the average Albertan isn’t likely to run into Kendall Longclaws. He grew up on an isolated farm with seven siblings and continues to live there, in his 30s, with his parents. He doesn’t leave the property without them. He’s deaf. He can’t read, understand a calendar, or use a phone. The only word he can speak is “brother”; he can also write his name, play video games, and use grunts and rudimentary gestures that relate to his daily life, like “yes,” “sorry,” and riding horses. Beyond that, his family never taught him how to communicate. Brief attempts at school and tutoring when he was a child went nowhere. He knows what “mom” means, but he lacks the ability to understand society’s institutions, including courts and justice. So, when Longclaws was charged with eight sexual offences against three complainants in 2021, he had no idea what was going on... Yungwirth’s ruling was perhaps the most absurd thing to come out of a Canadian court that year. She gave Longclaws a total exemption from criminal liability while also completely ruling out the possibility of removing him from society. She judged him as if he were an escaped gorilla enabled by unwatchful keepers, not a man; a beast outside the jurisdiction of human laws... Now that he’s inspired our judges to create a completely unaccountable class of adults in society, prepare for more defence lawyers to seek this excuse for their linguistically challenged clients — in Alberta and beyond."

Freeing killers is Labour’s idea of justice - "During the passage of their Sentencing Act, the sentencing minister promised: “Those convicted of the most serious crimes will be unaffected and will remain in prison for as long as they do now.” As Pc Harper’s family and other victims can attest, this was a lie. The Government has refused to answer even basic questions, such as how many criminals will be released, or how many of them are sex offenders. The former prisons minister Lord Timpson said it was “impossible for us to say exactly who will be released, where and when”. When we crunched the numbers ourselves, we worked out that 2,500 rapists and paedophiles alone are eligible.  The victims’ commissioner and the domestic abuse commissioner have both warned that the Government has failed to put in place key safeguards to keep victims safe. A hotline for victims that was promised months ago is still not operational.   From the limited information released by the Government, following our pressure, we know 8,700 victims have been warned that the perpetrators of crimes against them might be released... Labour’s true attitude was exposed when Wes Streeting, the new Defence Secretary, was caught joking that the new Justice Secretary “wants to let them all out”."

Rethinking Mass Incarceration - The Atlantic - "Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Starting in the 1970s, U.S. policymakers embraced draconian criminal-justice policies as part of the war on drugs. Tough-on-crime politicians rose to power by pledging longer mandatory-minimum sentences and more intense policing practices. The American legal system became the primary tool for addressing the nation’s social ills. And as incarceration grew rapidly in the following decades, so, too, did the coffers of an emerging prison-industrial complex. That’s what John Pfaff, a law professor at Fordham University in New York, calls the “standard story” of mass incarceration. But in his new book Locked In, Pfaff offers a different account of the phenomenon’s origins. Instead of the war on drugs, he points to violent crime as the key factor that fueled America’s exceptional incarceration rate. Public-employee unions and rural politicians, not just the private-prison industry, trumpeted the boost in jobs and help to small-town economies that large penitentiaries can provide. And prosecutors, not judges or legislators, made the crucial decisions that gave the United States the world’s largest population behind bars...
What a majority of people are in prison for are for crimes of violence, so at some point we have to start confronting how we punish people for violent crimes."
From 2017. This didn't age well. Ironically, he acknowledged that violent crime had been increasing for 2 years

Non-citizen violent offender Medhani Yohans breaches again in Guelph | Toronto Sun - "Within hours of high-risk offender Medhani Yohans being sprung from the Maplehurst Correctional Complex, he was back behind bars.  The violent 37-year-old courthouse frequent flier allegedly breached the primo condition on his release: Stay out of downtown Guelph... Yohans is not a Canadian citizen, struggles with the language, has a lengthy criminal record, and “major mental illness.” A Canada Border Services Agency source told the Sun he was smuggled into Canada via Europe.  And, there is a deportation order for Yohans. “There is more than enough blame to go around on this guy,” the CBSA source told the Sun.  “First, he originally came here as a sponsored refugee from Eritrea. So even though there is a Deportation Order against him, he can’t be removed because he’s a ‘Protected Person.’ The only thing that overrides that is a ‘Danger Opinion.’  “We tried getting one and … surprise, surprise … were shot down by headquarters. Apparently, his sexual assault convictions aren’t enough to label him a Danger.”  Yohans has been in and out of the slammer since at least 2023. He had been initially ordered to stay away from certain addresses. He violated those orders multiple times.  And there are other matters: He has a history of violence that includes two sexual assaults involving strangers... Yohans has become the poster boy for revolving door justice and doesn’t appear bothered about breaching bail or probation. The Eritrean refugee has done it countless times with little apparent impact and no sign of him being booted from the country."

The police didn’t do anything about my parcel thief so I took matters into my own hands - "The pair of us followed in his wake and spotted the thief on a bike around the back of the building. He looked glum – no more freebies for you, sir. I had caught him red-handed, and he knew it. Yet when I confronted him, he had an excuse: “I’m a crackhead, mate.”  I blinked. Unless I’m mistaken, that’s not an excuse to commit crime. I told him as much and asked him to stop pilfering and learn some bloody manners. He replied “F--- off, have some of these,” grabbing his genitals and shaking them at me. Jumping on his bike, he then threatened to “shiv” me – prison slang for stabbing someone with a makeshift blade. At this point, I decided it was best to retreat. I wasn’t convinced he actually had a knife, but I wasn’t taking any chances... Ready to share my information and photographs, I returned to the police to give them an update and also report the threat to stab me. I have a great deal of respect for the police – I count current officers among my friends and the majority I’ve met are good, hard-working people. They have one of the toughest jobs out there, and there is little thanks for what they do.  But the response demonstrated that traditional policing has pretty much died. Instead of doing some digging and setting up a very simple sting (I managed it, after all), the police told me it was too hard to catch a thief unless he told them who he was. I shouldn’t raise my hopes, I was told. Even if I had a photograph of the thief’s face – which I did – there was little hope of catching him unless he had tattooed his own name on his forehead. The man may have been a crackhead but he was not that stupid.  When I called to check on the force’s progress again, I was told the case had been passed to my local team and an officer might look at it. They said they would let me know whether an investigation was launched. They never replied to me. Naively, I had assumed that the thief’s threat to stab me might have piqued their interest, but apparently not. After another month of silence, I rang again. I was told the case had still not been allocated to an officer. The call handler added “this is a low priority,” although he admitted: “I don’t know why it has taken so long.”  After that, I heard nothing, until, that is, the Metropolitan Police Service found out I was writing this article in the past few days. Suddenly, an officer was appointed to the case and, for the first time, I was asked to hand over my photographs. She apologised for the delay and, after reviewing the facts, told me: “You’ve done the hard work for us.” Well, when the police don’t bother trying to catch criminals in the first place, is it such a surprise?... I still like to think police officers spend the majority of their time doing useful work. But my experience makes you wonder what exactly police chiefs are asking their staff to do.  So maybe the fool isn’t the crook. Maybe it’s me, for still having faith in the existence of a decent Metropolitan Police Service. After all, the facts seem overwhelmingly to suggest otherwise."

Ontario man who sexually assaulted 12-year-old sister avoids jail | National Post - "An Ontario judge has sentenced a man to house arrest for sexually assaulting his biological sister, ruling that the mandatory minimum five-year sentence for incest with someone under 16 is unconstitutional and “grossly disproportionate” for offenders with intellectual disabilities.  The 26-year-old man, identified only as D.C. in the decision from Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice, was charged in 2022 for having sex with his sister for four years starting when she was 12 years old. Although he’s an adult, a defence expert testified that D.C. has an intellectual disability such that his cognitive age equivalency would be nine to 12 years old.  “Five years in a penitentiary is a tough sentence in any circumstances, and even more so for a first-time offender. When a developmental disability is added to that mix, in my view it becomes cruel and unusual,” Justice Anne Molloy wrote in a recent decision. The judge convicted D.C. on two counts of incest and one charge of sexual assault.  She handed him a conditional sentence of two years less a day and three years of probation.  It’s “extremely rare” for judges to bypass mandatory minimums, said Wayne MacKay, a professor emeritus at Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law.  “The gap between a five-year minimum and house arrest is so large that that’s kind of striking,” MacKay said in a recent interview.  It could make the case ripe for appeal, he said...  In May 2022, D.C.’s sister, who also has intellectual disabilities, told her high school guidance counsellor “that her brother had been sexually assaulting her for years”...  While D.C. may function as an adult (he graduated high school, got his driver’s licence, is employed in a warehouse and does not receive government assistance), “his intellectual skills, including his capacity for moral reasoning, are substantially below the level of an adult,” Molloy said. “Because of his disability, he falls squarely within the concept of ‘diminished moral blameworthiness.’”... During his conditional sentence, D.C., who drives a forklift for work, must live with his grandmother.  He’ll be on house arrest for the first year and will be allowed to attend work and approved appointments, then a curfew for the second."
Looks like mandatory minimums aren't mandatory after all

Sign on the Dotted Line: How B.C.’s Latest Indigenous Outrage Threatens Freedom of Contract Across Canada

"B.C. leads the country in court decisions and government policies that seek to achieve “reconciliation” by acceding to whatever radical demands are made by Indigenous groups. The key feature of this process – unending acquiescence via court rulings, legislation, policy and “nation-to-nation” agreements, many of them hashed out in secret and later sprung on a citizenry that had no say in the matter – has become like a modern form of Dane-geld. And with the same unfortunate result.

As King Ethelred discovered, whatever you pay is never enough. Rather, each “payment” of legal and/or public-policy tribute provokes still greater demands in the future while eroding Canada’s negotiating position the next time around. All of which is causing the slow-motion destruction of our economic and social wellbeing and the diminution of Canada’s national sovereignty.

The most damaging legislative example of this process has been the enshrining of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) into B.C. and federal law. But B.C. courts have wrought their own havoc with bizarre decisions that weaken key economic and legal precepts. They have tossed aside the key modern-day principle of state neutrality in religion by approving mandatory native spirituality ceremonies in public schools. Provincial judges have also ruled that the normal progress of civilization can be considered a treaty violation and that imaginary “supernatural dens” can be considered an objective reality sufficient to upend provincial laws. Even more significantly, the now-notorious 2025 Cowichan ruling revealed that fee-simple land ownership, the bedrock of Canadians’ property rights, can be pushed aside by aboriginal title on the strength of mere historical hearsay and second-hand notes.

As if all of this weren’t enough, now comes another cataclysmic threat to the coherence of Canada’s legal system: the case known as Metlakatla First Nation v. Prince Rupert Port Authority. Here the courts appear ready to erase another fundamental aspect of economic life in Canada – the sanctity of contract law. Though it concerned only a jurisdictional matter rather than settling the overall dispute, the January 2026 decision could prove to be Canada’s most dangerous Dane-geld yet.

The Metlakatla First Nation (MFN) is one of over 200 Indigenous communities in B.C. In 2021, it had a population of just 1,102 people living near the port city of Prince Rupert. Despite its tiny size, provincial and federal laws requiring a duty to “consult and accommodate” plus the ever-evolving concept of aboriginal title have given the Metlakatla a functional veto over resource development throughout their “traditional territory” that covers a vast swath – as much as 200,000 square km – of northern B.C.

The MFN exploits its hammerlock by demanding what amounts to Dane-geld from local resource projects. The tribute can take many forms: outright cash payments, job or contract guarantees, equity interests and other financial payments and/or benefits. For those who choose not to pay, the MFN makes frequent use of the courts and a cadre of expensive Vancouver lawyers who can delay or stymie any developer foolish enough to deny their clients their geld...

The record demonstrates that no resource project in the area can proceed without some form of payment to the MFN being made by taxpayers and/or industry. While some acknowledge or even celebrate this as supporting Indigenous reconciliation, what it really means is that the tribe – and effectively all of B.C.’s First Nations – exercise discretionary control over the Crown’s interests in the province. If a government needs to ask permission from another group to do anything on its lands, then it is not the sovereign master of its own house. It might not even own that house. The implications could hardly be more profound...

Bringing aboriginal law into the case, the MFN asserted that the PRPA’s duty, as an agent of the federal Crown, to consult and accommodate the MFN required it to reveal the terms of the REEF deal – even though this would have caused the PRPA to breach its contract with REEF. The MFN is basically saying that a duty to consult overrides any contractual obligations a Crown corporation may have with any other non-native organization or business...

The broad liberties that freedom of contract allows two or more parties to enter into mutually beneficial agreements have made it fundamental to the healthy functioning of our entire economic system – and, thus, a matter of paramount public interest.

The Crown’s duty to consult is a much more recent innovation, established via Supreme Court precedents that greatly expanded the meaning of the simple and clear wording of Section 35(1) of the Constitution. The duty to consult arises when a government has knowledge of the potential existence of an aboriginal right or title and is contemplating an action that might adversely affect it. This triggers a related doctrine, the “Honour of the Crown”, also manufactured by Canada’s courts, that requires accommodating a particular aboriginal right or title.

Indigenous rights proponents will argue that once aboriginal title is recognized or ceded, the Crown must vacate the jurisdictional space and allow native law to govern, giving the title-holder exclusive right to use and control the land. This has been argued in relation to the recent “Rising Tide” Haida Title Lands Agreement concerning B.C.’s former Queen Charlotte Islands. From this perspective, the new titleholder need not be bound by any agreements made by the previous occupiers – which quite likely could include legal contracts...

The MFN is essentially saying it intends to hold the entire port facility hostage until it gets what it wants. Contract law be damned...

In effect, the MFN is arguing, absurdly, it would seem, that any negotiation involving a Crown-owned entity and a potential native interest must always be resolved to the complete satisfaction of the native party, regardless of the legal consequences or temporal impossibilities...

Aboriginal rights “recognized and affirmed” by Section 35 of the Constitution are generally understood to be rights existing at the time of the first assertion of Crown sovereignty, which in B.C. is 1846. Obviously, nobody was then engaged in the handling of LPG, so no aboriginal rights have ever arisen in relation to it...

The MFN has essentially double-crossed both parties in favour of Trigon and its presumably better offer. And having put itself in such a conflict of interest, the MFN has also breached its Dane-geld agreements and should be required to give back all that lucre.

Despite such solid legal logic, however, it seems unlikely the Metlakatla will ever face any negative consequences for their actions. Given other recent B.C. court decisions that defy precedent and common sense, there’s a reasonable chance they’ll actually succeed in rewriting contract law. That is certainly implied by the recent court decision allowing the case to proceed to trial. And the “nuclear” threat to block all subsequent consultations with REEF for possible expansions and other changes could even have a good chance of paying off in terms of additional Dane-geld down the road.

But even if all this is successful in the short-term, what are the long-term consequences of this behaviour? By acting in such a discreditable manner, the MFN – and by extension all First Nations – are undermining their own claims to legitimacy. If one of the main goals of Indigenous reconciliation is to integrate and embed native interests into Canadian economic development, then native partners have a responsibility to act in a reliable and trustworthy manner. To this end, they should regard business contracts to be as sacred and inviolable as the treaties they once signed with the federal government...

The invention of new forms of aboriginal title meant to deliver a temporary business advantage to a particular First Nation raises even more uncertainty throughout the resource industry – and puts future projects in peril.

Keep in mind that the players in this dispute include large multi-national corporations with global perspectives. Undermining contract law for domestic resource projects will send another signal to the rest of the world that Canada is not a reliable place to do business. If Indigenous Canadians wish to participate in the broader Canadian economy, they need to accept the rules that have been in place for centuries and which all other participants have already agreed upon. They can’t simply make up their own game.

Correcting this situation – which has implications for all of Canada – will require the efforts of all Canadians. In my many years as a lawyer, I came to realize that my most successful business clients were those whose word was as good as a signed contract. Again, trust is fundamental to prosperity and progress. If native businessmen and businesswomen cannot be taken at their word then it falls to the business community-at-large to push back against this behaviour. The most immediate corrective is to sue over breach of contract, as mentioned earlier. This should be encouraged.

But the rest of society has a role to play as well. All citizens must be able to exercise their freedom to publicly and explicitly criticize discreditable activity, regardless of the race of those engaged in it. Unfortunately, the societal norms of present-day Canada make it nearly impossible to call out this sort of conduct in the native community, particularly by the mainstream media. The Globe and Mail’s coverage of the REEF dispute is illustrative of this reluctance.

In an article on the MFN’s February 4 declaration of its “nuclear” intent, Canada’s self-declared “national newspaper” studiously avoids any mention of the disastrous implications of the band’s actions, framing them instead as yet another example of an intransigent federal government doing harm to native interests. “Metlakatla,” the Globe blandly claims, “is upset that the port authority has frozen out the First Nation and other Trigon partners in their bid to diversify into different commodities, notably propane and butane.” Promoting such an upside-down narrative in order to avoid calling out the discreditable and self-interested behaviour of Indigenous interests – behaviour that, in this instance, threatens to wipe out a whole category of Canadian law – infantilizes the entire native business community.

Finally, it is also time for the Canadian court system to contemplate the effects of its own campaign of continued indulgence towards the escalating demands of Indigenous organizations. Allowing the MFN lawsuit to proceed despite another, superior arm of the same court system already implicitly upholding the legality of the confidentiality clause at the nexus of this entire dispute, reveals the disregard with which the B.C. judiciary has come to treat foundational aspects of Western society. We are witnessing in real-time the destruction of the various definitions, boundaries, protocols and standards that make up modern Canada. And it is being carried out with a shocking carelessness towards what lies at the heart of this process – racial favouritism...

Together with all the other outrages and absurdities foisted upon the country by the court system, this latest example of racial discrimination is turning Canada into an unpredictable, unstable and untrustworthy place to live, work and invest."

Left wingers will still call the Globe and Mail "centre-right".

Austin Justice on X - "Memphis was one of the most dangerous cities in America. It’s now becoming a model for how to fight crime when you have a terrible DA. From the peak:
- Murders down 47%
- Carjackings down 48%
- Robberies down 51%.
- Vehicle theft down 80%.
What changed:
1. State troopers took over interstate patrol, freeing up local officers.
2. Police launched focused initiatives targeting fugitives, violent repeat offenders, and gang members.
3. National Guard, federal agents, and US Marshals came in and made 9,000+ arrests, including 400+ gang members. Plus 629 illegal firearms seized, 150 missing children located.
4. Technology filled the gaps. Police deployed license plate readers citywide, expanded drone use, and opened a downtown command center. A cancer center went from a crime attempt every other week to none.
Overall crime is now down more than 43% compared to the same period last year Memphis has a long way to go and remains a dangerous city. Its DA is still dismissing 3 out of every 4 felony cases. In fact, the state legislature just passed a bill to audit and potentially remove him. But the city is showing that a rogue DA doesn't have to be a death sentence for public safety. Flood the streets with law enforcement, target repeat offenders, and make arrests faster than he can dismiss them."

Rafael A. Mangual on X = "And there it is… Six years ago, the man accused of committing a heinous mass shooting that claimed the lives of eight children in Shreveport, Louisiana this morning, was given probation rather than a lengthy prison term for a shooting (per the @nypost)."

Thread by @ES_News_ on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "This is PC Lorne Castle. He’s pulled people from rivers, taken knives off the streets, mentored young people, and risked his life on the job.  Last week, he was sacked.  Not for corruption. Not for abuse of power.  But for the way he arrested a knife-carrying teen who’d just allegedly assaulted an elderly man. 🧵👇
The arrest was messy. The teenager resisted. A knife dropped from his waistband. Castle swore, lost his temper, and called him a name.  The force deemed his techniques lawful.  But they sacked him anyway.  No complaint came from the boy. The outrage? From within the job itself. PC Castle's colleagues complained about his behaviour. This is the reality of frontline policing today.  Knife crime is rising. Teenagers are carrying weapons and teenagers are being stabbed to death on our streets.  And officers are expected to be therapists, robots, and punching bags all at once, with a smile on their face for the bodycam.  Lose your cool for a second? Your career’s over.
We’re told trust in policing is low.  Maybe that’s because officers are being forced to spend hours recording social media posts and logging “non-crime hate incidents”—instead of being backed when they take dangerous individuals off the street.  The system is broken. Castle’s story proves it. We have written a full piece on this case; what happened, why it matters, and what it says about the state of policing in Britain today.  This one deserves your attention."

John D. Macari Jr. 🇺🇸🗽 on X - "I remember 2013, right after Bill de Blasio became Mayor. I was a Sergeant in Brooklyn.  My team was working on a pattern of vehicle break ins occurring in a neighborhood. The night before, I changed our tour to put cops in the area at the exact time the crimes were happening.  Late that night we spotted a guy walking down the block, peeking into car windows and checking door handles.  At one point he stopped, pulled out a blunt, and started smoking marijuana right on the street. When he finished, he put it in his pocket and kept walking and continued casing vehicles.  I had a young cop with me who was new to plainclothes work. He attempted to jump the guy too early, and we got made before we had enough to charge the individual for a car break in.  So I made the call.  We locked him up for smoking marijuana in public, which allowed us to identify him and search him for property connected to other break ins from the pattern.   This also gave us an opportunity to see if he would confess to the prior crimes or give us intelligence related to those and other crimes.   He didn’t have anything on him, and he didn’t confess or give us any info but that night there were no car break ins and the pattern died after that arrest.  The next day I was called into my Commanding Officer’s office.  Instead of asking about the crime pattern, I got a lecture about not locking up “black and brown people” for marijuana because they are locked up at disproportionate rates for this specific offense.  I remember responding:  “Black and brown people are locked up at disproportionate rates for major crimes like Rape and Robbery also, are you suggesting I only lock up white people?”  He told me I should use more discretion for minor offenses.  I told him:  “I didn’t lock him up for marijuana. I locked him up for breaking into cars. Marijuana was just the only charge I had at the moment.”  I also stated that he wasn’t just a dumb kid smoking marijuana, he had a lengthy criminal history and I observed him engaging in current criminal behavior.  I walked out of that office confused.  I remember thinking: How far is this not well thought out ideology going to go?  Now, more than a decade late, we have the answer."

Marc Porter Magee 🎓 on X - "“approximately 50 violent groups or gangs in Oakland with an active membership of between 1,000 and 1,200 people, which represented just 0.3% of the population … were responsible for up to 85% of the city’s homicides”"
Daniel Friedman on X - "Oakland has a population of 450,000 people. It is blessed with geographic conditions existing almost nowhere else that allow year-round temperatures in the low 70s. It is also, notoriously, a crime ridden hellhole.  90 percent of the crime is committed by about 1200 recidivists.  Oakland could make crime vanish by making these people vanish. Into a prison or whatever. Instead, Oakland elects progressive mayors and prosecutors who keep these people on the streets, keep encampments in the parks, provide no remedy for rampant property crime and disorder and keep spending hundreds of thousands of public dollars in social services and criminal justice expenditures every year for each of these individuals who are nothing but detrimental and will never be anything else."

Trust David Lammy to think adulthood begins at 25 - "That is the latest bright idea of Justice Secretary David Lammy. Buried in his recent white paper on youth justice is a one-line proposal that criminals up to the age of 25 should be dealt with as if they were under 18... younger adults already benefit from generous provisions in the sentencing guidelines... Treating adult criminals like children then feels like another abdication of the fundamental duties of the state: to protect our borders, and to keep the peace within. It is the inevitable consequence of a system that prizes and protects the interests of wrongdoers above all else, no matter the cost to the ordinary citizen."

DEMOCRATIC STAFF REPORT - "As this report’s findings reflect, the investigation backfired on Republicans and the Trump Administration almost as soon as it began, thanks in large part to the testimony of every single one of the eight current and former MPD commanders who sat for transcribed interviews. The investigation provided evidence that President Trump lied about crime in D.C. to justify his attempted takeover of MPD and deployment of troops to D.C.’s streets. It also generated evidence refuting Republicans’ far-fetched conspiracy theory alleging a whole-of-department effort to manipulate MPD’s crime data. And the investigation undermined Republican attacks on home rule—the right of D.C. residents to govern themselves—by showing how D.C.’s government, including both the D.C. Council and MPD, was successfully reducing crime without federal intervention."

However, after time served in pre-trial custody, he will face just 227 more days behind bars.  Fitsum Wode Zewdu, 33, pleaded guilty to sexual assault, assault, and committing an indecent act.

Another Walgreens Is Closing in Chicago—Blame Criminals, Not the Company - "Walgreens is pulling out of Chicago’s South Side, home to some of the city’s most crime-ridden areas. The closure of a store in the city’s Chatham neighborhood, set for June 4, marks the seventh Walgreens location to shut down on the South Side in the past year.  Who’s to blame for this departure? Chicago Alderman William Hall, who represents Chatham as part of Ward 6, blames the company. Walgreens, he said, should be charged with “first-degree corporate abandonment” for creating a “medicine drought,” and he even accused it of committing a “pharmaceutical genocide.” (It’s particularly rich that Hall is now castigating Walgreens for closing, given that he hadn’t been happy about Walgreens opening, alleging it “ran out” small, local businesses.) Hall is right to be concerned that residents and seniors with chronic health conditions may suffer. But criminals, not corporations, are to blame for the closures. Strengthening both policing and prosecution of property crimes is the key to bringing Walgreens and other businesses back to the South Side. Rhetoric like Hall’s, by contrast, continues to send the message that Chicago is closed for business.  Walgreens has been clear that crime is the problem. At a town hall on May 9, executives revealed that the Chatham store lost more than $1 million last year due to shoplifting and declining prescription sales. The location loses 16 percent of its inventory to theft—four times the company average, according to Walgreens’ regional vice president.   Like many stores reeling from the national surge of retail theft, the Chatham Walgreens was forced to install lock boxes to protect merchandise. And it spent more than $400,000 a year on security guards. Yet criminals were undeterred. Thieves broke the locks, leaped over counters to steal liquor and cigarettes, and assaulted workers... even in its difficult circumstances, Walgreens is doing far more to serve vulnerable residents than is Chatham’s own alderman. The company is reaching out to local customers to explain how they can receive their prescriptions by mail and offering free delivery for seniors. It has made its Chatham employees eligible to transfer to other stores, where, one hopes, they won’t have to fear as much for their safety.  Meantime, Alderman Hall did not even bother to show up for this month’s town hall, according to residents. Amid backlash over the Walgreens closure, Ward 15 Alderman Raymond Lopez asked a common-sense question: “Where was that anger when the stores in our communities were under years and years of assault by criminals allowed to shoplift, vandalize, and destroy neighborhood institutions?”   Lopez has it right. Crime is what’s closing stores in Chicago. It was the main reason that Aldi abruptly closed its Auburn Gresham neighborhood store in 2022, and it’s helped drive the departure from the city of other major businesses like Citadel."

Dustin on X - "Elon Musk just reduced American crime politics to a single question on Joe Rogan.  And answered it like it was arithmetic.
Musk: “While obviously not everyone who’s a Democrat is a criminal, almost everyone who is a criminal is a Democrat.”
That’s not a partisan attack.  That’s an observation about how incentives work.  If you’re a criminal, you don’t vote for the party promising longer sentences and more cops.  You vote for the one gutting bail laws and calling enforcement racist.  This isn’t opinion. This is game theory.
Musk: “Because the Democrats are the soft-on-crime party. So if you’re a criminal, who are you gonna vote for?”
 Nobody wants to follow that logic to its conclusion.  But the math doesn’t care.  The softness isn’t accidental. It’s architectural.  No-cash bail. Decriminalized theft. Sanctuary cities. Defund the police.  These aren’t compassion. They’re infrastructure.  Every policy that removes consequences builds a constituency that needs them to stay gone.  That’s not ideology. That’s customer acquisition.  You don’t protect criminals because you care about them.  You protect them because they show up in November.  The people paying the price are never the ones writing the policy.  It’s the working-class neighborhoods getting hollowed out.  The immigrant families who played by the rules watching the system reward the ones who broke them.  The small business owners boarding up windows because the DA won’t prosecute.  They’ll spend the next week calling Musk reckless for this.  But he didn’t build the incentive structure.  He just described it.  And that’s what they’ll never forgive."

Time to end the BC NDP's ideological nightmare and repeal DRIPA

"With all the debate in and out of the courts about whether a United Nations declaration should dictate our reconciliation efforts, Canadians might be forgiven for forgetting – or not knowing – our country already has an able process to resolve Crown/Aboriginal relations. 

Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 is the provision in our highest law that recognizes and affirms existing Aboriginal and treaty rights. Despite this, in 2019 an activist NDP government introduced a different and completely unworkable “reconciliation framework” throughout British Columbia. 

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) first found purchase in Canada as an uncalled-for recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which stipulated that the declaration form the basis for reconciliation in Canada, despite this country already having a constitutional framework in place for that very purpose.

In 2019, the B.C. government, under the late Premier John Horgan, passed legislation that brought UNDRIP into British Columbia law. The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, 2019 directed each and every law in the province must conform to the ill-defined human rights concepts set out in UNDRIP. 

Some UNDRIP provisions are not only vague, they stand in direct conflict with section 35 of the constitution. For instance, Article 26 directs complete Indigenous ownership of any claimed territory with no requirement to prove “exclusive occupation” of those lands as is required by section 35.

Using Article 26, the Eby government assumes every square inch of British Columbia’s land base is “stolen” land – what the Premier calls the “original colonial mistake” that he is intent on correcting. Again these assertions are in direct conflict with Canadian constitutional law. Proven Aboriginal title may ultimately cover around six per cent, but certainly not 100 per cent of the B.C. land base.

And Article 32(2) of UNDRIP stipulates Indigenous consent must be obtained before any government decision can impact that so-called territorial ownership interest. Section 35 of the constitution says no such thing. Most legal experts know that its practical effect is to create a veto power for Aboriginal communities over government actions.

No one has any idea what that provision means exactly. Is it a veto over Crown decision-making or not? 

The Supreme Court of Canada already realized that requiring Aboriginal consent or agreement before governments could govern in the public interest would put a giant stick in the spokes of reconciliation.  The Eby government is apparently fine with that outcome.

The BC NDP said DRIPA would not confer a veto when it introduced the legislation in 2019, but the B.C. government under David Eby has since signed agreements with First Nations in the name of reconciliation that do exactly that.

It is ridiculous to think that the B.C. government can effectively run the province in the midst of these uncertainties. Which is why, perhaps, a growing chorus of people are saying the province is not being run effectively.

DRIPA is currently enjoying a moment of infamy as the driver of radical provincial reconciliation policy and a major factor in several precedent-setting court decisions. Meanwhile citizens, Indigenous law experts, First Nations, industries, politicians, potential investors, and media outlets struggle to make sense of the law’s intention and the societal upheaval it is creating. 

The stated intention of the legislature at the time DRIPA was passed by MLAs of all parties was for legislators, not the courts, to reconcile all B.C. laws with the articles of UNDRIP. That expectation was blown out of the water by the Dec. 5 BC Court of Appeal decision in the Gitxaala case.

For the second time in four months, a B.C. court referenced the principles of DRIPA in its ruling. In the Gitxaala v. British Columbia decision, two of three judges overturned an earlier court decision and decreed DRIPA was in fact “justiciable” as in, a law that can be used in a trial and upheld in court, and that all the province’s laws must immediately conform to UNDRIP.

With that judgment, the DRIPA nightmare became a full-blown constitutional crisis.

Business groups, Independent MLAs, Indigenous law experts and the two Opposition parties are in agreement that DRIPA should be repealed, with legislators demanding the Eby government recall the legislature to do so...

[Eby's] government’s ongoing inaction on this file engenders no confidence and adds to the uncertainty.

Four months after the BC Supreme Court’s Cowichan Tribes v. Canada  decision recognized Aboriginal title on fee simple land and ruled Land Title Act protections for those private land titles don’t apply, the province has yet to fulfill its commitment to file so much as a petition for a stay of proceedings. 

In fact, the only legal action the Eby government has taken of late – and it took it swiftly following the Cowichan ruling – was to support a declaration of Haida Nation Aboriginal title in the BC Supreme Court, including over the private lands on Haida Gwaii. The government did this with the full knowledge that a declaration of Haida Aboriginal title would – thanks to provisions in the Cowichan ruling – ensure the Land Title Act protections would not apply to private property within Haida territory.  

Which can only mean the B.C. government intentionally created the same private property rights nightmare on Haida Gwaii that was, and is, being faced by private property owners in Richmond.  

There is no world in which this can be called governing in the public interest.

In the case of the Gitxaala ruling, the Premier blames the court, claiming the judges over-reached. He said DRIPA was never intended to strike down B.C. laws or be wielded like a law in court against the government. It is up to legislators to determine B.C. laws, not the courts, Eby said following the decision.

Indeed, in 2021, when Eby was attorney general, he introduced an amendment (section 8.1) to the Interpretation Act with the following caution: “If a court considers a provincial law to be inconsistent with the UN declaration, this amendment does not allow the court to read in, read down or find that law to be of no force or effect.”

But Eby confused matters when he described the Interpretation Act provision as having “the requirement that provincial laws and regulations be read so as to be consistent with the UN declaration.”

In an additional bout of mixed messaging, he also said this: “But where a decision-maker is faced with two possible interpretations of the public interest in making a decision, the Interpretation Act, in this circumstance, would, we intend, instruct the decision-maker to prefer the interpretation of public interest that is consistent with the principles of the DRIPA legislation.”

Now Eby has the temerity to accuse the court of being confused about his government’s intentions for DRIPA. This week, he committed his government to assisting the courts “in understanding this is work for British Columbians to do, not the courts.” All of which drew a rebuke from the BC Trial Lawyers Association, which said the Premier’s comments “reflect a troubling national trend in which politicians use the courts as punching bags to score political points.”...

Premier Eby might recall what then Indigenous Relations minister Scott Fraser told MLAs during a 2019 debate on DRIPA. Fraser said it was the intention of government to interpret UNDRIP in a manner consistent with section 35 in the constitution. 

This never happened. 

Fraser also assured legislators the law would not to create new rights for Indigenous peoples or strike down any existing B.C. laws. The legislation passed unanimously, with the Opposition BC Liberals trusting the government’s stated intentions.

Given the BC NDP’s actions in the name of “reconciliation,” particularly under Eby’s watch in the past three years, Fraser’s aspirations were a stunningly incorrect representation of what actually unfolded in the name of UNDRIP and DRIPA. Most certainly, the current B.C. government has not interpreted UNDRIP in a manner consistent with section 35 and has left a trail of new rights and unprecedented decision-making agreements in its wake, completely over-stepping the careful framework built by decades of constitutional law. 

DRIPA was flawed from the outset and the Premier, who was attorney general at the time, should have known it.

DRIPA should have expressly stated that neither DRIPA nor UNDRIP can create any new Aboriginal rights beyond those recognized and affirmed in the constitution. It should have also been clear that DRIPA and UNDRIP had to be interpreted by government in strict accordance with section 35 and in a way that ensured neither would affect or undermine private property rights. And DRIPA should have clearly directed that DRIPA and UNDRIP are strictly non-justiciable, as in, not liable to a determination of the court and not able to force any new B.C. laws.

Other sections1(4), 2(a),2(b), 3, 6, and 7 of DRIPA remain both legally problematic and entirely undemocratic. Yet the province continues to celebrate “reconciliation” agreements signed under these provisions.

Of course, these amendments, even if made now, would essentially render both DRIPA and UNDRIP superfluous and moot and make their adoption pointless. Because the truth is, no amount of DRIPA amendments will resolve UNDRIP’s complete inappropriateness to modern British Columbia and Canada. 

Unfortunately, the federal Liberal government under Justin Trudeau enacted its own UNDRIP legislation in 2021, also with the unanimous, and perhaps similarly naive, support of all political parties. Regardless, Prime Minister Mark Carney is about to find out how equally ridiculous that adoption was when his government’s commitments to Indigenous consent under UNDRIP collide with the ‘elbows up’ push to advance major resource projects in the public interest.

Only a complete repeal of this enormous ideological mistake will properly rectify the mess the province now finds itself in. Then federal representatives will have to follow suit in the Canadian parliament to correct their own egregious mistake."

Bernie on X - "A man was arrested by police in Britain after he posted a picture online of himself posing with a gun in the US He was then held overnight in a cell and bailed… “I was told to be careful what I say online and I need to understand how it makes people feel,” WHAT?? The police seized his computers and phone and so he had been unable to even work. Then they dropped the charges.  The process is the punishment 💣"
IT consultant arrested after posing with gun on LinkedIn - "Jon Richelieu-Booth said he was shocked by the “Orwellian” decision by West Yorkshire Police (WYP) to prosecute him over the social media post... A bail document seen by The Telegraph refers to an allegation of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and a further allegation of stalking related to a photograph of a house that appeared on his social media.  He said he was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed.  Mr Richelieu-Booth said he was initially released on bail until late October.  He alleges that police officers then visited his property on three further occasions before he was re-arrested in October for allegedly breaching his bail conditions. However, that charge was later dropped... Describing his ordeal as “massive overreach”, Mr Richelieu-Booth added: “Anybody should be allowed to say anything they wish, as long as it’s not hateful.  “When did we go from a society where you can have a discussion with somebody and go, ‘You know what? I don’t like your opinion. I’m going to disagree with you, but I’m not going to tell you why, I’m going to call the police’.  “When did we get so thin-skinned as a society?”  He said: “I’ve always believed in truth and justice and stood up for the police and believed they are doing an important job of keeping order. Now I have no faith in the police.”"
Given what left wingers define as "hateful", even allowing the police to persecute people for that is a bad idea

Two-tier policing of protests is REAL: Damning report into the Met calls for Labour mayor Sadiq Khan to be stripped of control - "Two-tier policing of protests is 'not merely a perception but a reality' in Britain's biggest force, a damning report has revealed.  Scotland Yard is prioritising the rights of demonstrators over the ordinary public, failing to make arrests and treating some protest groups more leniently, which may lead the public to believe 'the forces of law and order have lost control of the streets and yielded control to a mob,' according to a new assessment.  A report by the think tank Policy Exchange has called for the Metropolitan Police to be put back into 'special measures' due to its failure to handle protests properly and tackle runaway rates of mobile phone thefts, burglary and shoplifting.  In a stark assessment of the Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley's three years in office, the report points to public confidence in the force falling to an all-time low as many residents and visitors believe 'there is a culture of impunity to crime in London'.  It comes as the force is solving only a tiny fraction of thefts, identifying the culprit in merely 1 in 20 robberies and burglaries, 1 in 13 shoplifting offences and 1 in 179 street muggings.  Now the Policy Exchange wants London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan to be stripped of responsibility for the Met's oversight, saying the Home Secretary should be given the power to ensure the force's performance improves. Entitled 'A Long, Long Way To Go', the report criticises the force for choosing 'to prioritise the rights of protestors over the rights of the wider public' and accuses officers of doing more to protect Muslims over the Jewish community in various demonstrations. It says: 'With the apparently differential treatment of different groups based on either the cause of the protest or the identity of those protesting, it has become increasingly clear that "two-tier policing" is not merely a perception but a reality.  'This inconsistent application of police powers and the law is perhaps one of the most troubling aspects of modern policing – a factor which has seriously damaged policing's reputation for fairness in the eyes of many.'  In one example cited, the force applied for 'very stringent conditions' in a United Kingdom Independence Party protest in Tower Hamlets on October 25, on the grounds that the area had the largest percentage of Muslim residents in the UK and the protest caused 'significant concern locally'... 'If the rationale for the force's decision is because they feared public disorder from those resisting the protest it is tantamount to an admission that 'mob-rule' has taken priority over the rule of law – an unacceptable state of affairs.'  The report also found: 'Too often police choose to prioritise the rights and freedoms of protestors over the rights of ordinary people going about their daily lives', with officers failing to arrest those committing criminal damage or shouting 'jihad' at pro-Palestinian rallies.  It called for the Met to face an inspection on its approach to protests, saying there needs to be transparency about decision-making. Elsewhere, the Policy Exchange suggested officers and staff be measured on crime fighting, with those failing to deliver being removed from their posts.  In the latest public survey, only 45 per cent of Londoners believe the force is doing a good job, down from 69 per cent in 2016.  Police station front counters have shut at a record rate, with just two set to remain open 24 hours a day in a city of 9 million people... The Policy Exchange blamed Sir Sadiq for reducing stop and search saying this 'has had a catastrophic impact on the fight against crime'.  The report praised the Met's record reductions in homicide, but said: 'There is certainly no indication of the force taking a "zero tolerance" to anything other than the most serious crimes."

Twitter user is jailed for 18 months for two anti-immigration tweets made after Christmas market car attack that were viewed just 33 times : r/europe_sub - "Yes, it’s not a good thing that he said. But so what? Why should he be put in jail for one day, let alone 18 months for this?  The government wouldn’t give a fuck if you said “kill all men” “kill the Russians” etc. but the moment it’s “kill the migrants” , it’s fine to ruin your life and jail you for years over it? I mean it was and still is a popular trend online for women to say “kill all men”, so either you’re advocating for millions of women to be jailed for that, or you’re a blatant hypocrite.  Not only is that terrible enough, but even if you’re delusional enough to think that’s okay, you really think the government is capable and ethical enough of deciding what messages had harmful intent? Say you’re playing some shooting game and you send a text to your mate that we need to “kill all the Somalians” for example, and the government will take that, label you a right wing exttremist and jail you for years."

Men with machetes and blades are constantly fighting in and around my street. How long does a police investigation actually take? We've been reporting these fights since March 2025. : r/LegalAdviceUK - "Our area has unexpectedly become a hotspot for violence between what I can only assume are rival gangs.  Men dressed up in dark clothes often covered screaming at each other and swinging large blades.  I've had my car damaged twice as they throw each other into them. My car insurance premium has more than doubled because of this.  We've reported it to police and we've been told they're investigating. We've called 999 every single time it happens, but they just keep fighting along the length of our street. We're not talking short knives here. They're like the length of your forearm!  Can't even let me kids play outside in the evening because that's when they're fighting most often. We're talking at least two or three times per month. Groups of 3-5 men.  This has been going on since March. How much longer should I be expecting to wait before the police just set up some kind of sting operation and arrest them all?"

I've been invited to a police interview over comments I made while having an operation in hospital. Do I need a solicitor? : r/LegalAdviceUK - "  I was getting a flexible sigmoidoscopy in hospital 2 weeks ago.  During the prepration stage I was really nervous and when I'm nervous I tend to make a lot of jokes. It's just a habit when I'm terrified.  First joke was, "It's been a while since my wife's done this to me."  Second joke was, "I hope you enjoy the view, I usually charge for showings."  These two jokes resulted in a complaint from a member of the medical team (4 people total, 1 of which complained) who were performing the operation on me.  Police visited my house this afternoon and have asked me to make contact with the station to arrange a suitable time for an interview. I haven't been told I'm being charged with anything.  I'm really worried about this here. I know this is my own fault but what should I expect to happen? Can I maybe write a letter of apology to the hospital?"

Metropolitan Police on X - "A UKIP protest that was due to take place in Whitechapel next Saturday, 31 January must now take place outside the borough of Tower Hamlets following the imposition of Public Order Act conditions. We have intervened to prevent serious disruption and serious disorder."
Andrew Fox on X - "“Highly likely to lead to violence and serious disorder” are the key words, here. Their position is that if UKIP marched in Tower Hamlets, the locals would likely react violently, so the march is banned.  As with the Aston Villa game in Birmingham, there is one very unfortunate logical conclusion: minority groups can affect decision-making by threatening violence.  Therefore the next logical conclusion is that if the Jewish community had wanted Palestinian marches banned near synagogues or in heavily Jewish areas, the correct answer was not patient, good faith engagement (as this often did not work), but instead to threaten violence against the Palestinian protesters.  This is an absolutely insane state of affairs."
This is how it works in Singapore

Kosher on X - "Manchester, UK Islamists in armbands are patrolling the streets and are chasing people down with horses. Police let it happen."

Revealed: The true story of the 'horsemen of the Ayatollah' who rode to defend pro-Iranian supporters in Manchester - sparking claims of a 'sharia police patrol': IAN GALLAGHER - "Earlier this month two fierce looking men on horseback suddenly appeared in Manchester city centre causing passers-by to stare in baffled wonder.  Wearing peaked caps and what initially appeared to be uniform, the riders seemed to materialise out of nowhere, said one witness, like 'members of a strange militia'.  At times they ignored instructions from police and instead trotted imperiously around the city streets 'as if on patrol'.  Outside the Manchester Islamic Centre on Sidney Street that night on March 4, mourners were holding a candlelit vigil to honour Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in the US-Israeli attacks on Tehran.  Such provocation risked a counter action from anti-regime protesters, and so it proved. By 9pm trouble was brewing. Soon, hundreds faced each other across a no man's land secured by lines of police. And it was against this backdrop, as the atmosphere grew febrile, that the two-man cavalry arrived.  That police officers at the scene, dozens of them, were all on foot only served to heighten the spectacle's incongruity.  Leaving no doubt as to their allegiance, the bearded horsemen planted themselves firmly in the pro-Ayatollah camp, whose supporters were outnumbered. 'They were guarding their own and trying to intimidate people,' claimed a witness. 'Some of the anti-regime people kept asking who they were but they wouldn't tell them. They just sat on their horses, staring coldly ahead, not saying anything.'... one of the riders is a 35-year-old engineering lecturer who told us he did not support the Ayatollah but was simply acting as a peacemaker on the night. He owns both horses, Khyber and Lionheart, and stables them 20 miles outside the city centre.  Describing himself as a British-born Pakistani Muslim, he said he was aware the vigil was taking place because some of his friends were attending... he claimed he only brought the animals to the city on the night because he wanted 'to get them trained for traffic so they wouldn't get spooked easily'.  He said the sharia suggestions were wrong and denied chasing down anti-regime protesters. 'The video shows us going towards them, but I wasn't chasing them. I only went to them to try to say, "This is not the place for this".' Despite entreaties to police to arrest the riders, or at least get them to dismount and send them on their way, they instead let them go about their business. This enraged some of the anti-regime protesters and led to testy exchanges. One man is overheard on footage telling a police officer: 'They should be being nicked, they've just been chasing people on horses. Why aren't they being nicked?'  The officer replies that he could hardly be expected to 'pull him off a horse'. To this the man shoots back: 'If they had a Union Jack on they'd be off the horse.' Still, some credit must go to the police. Beyond a few scuffles, they managed to keep both sides apart and the night ended peacefully with no arrests... A few days after the vigil, police contacted the horse owner, not to investigate what happened – but because 'they were concerned' about his welfare.  Today, the horseman is keen to play down the incident: 'It looked more like a protest than a vigil. So I stopped by and saw some people and friends that I knew."

DJ Lippy on X - "Just when you thouhht it couln't get any worse. The Manchester police tracked down the sharia patrol horsemen who were threatening anti-Ayatolla protestor to perform a welfare check and make sure he was OK. We are a joke country and it looks like the police have been captuted by Islamists."

Melissa Morris on X - "Look at the UK, they've now banned swords because of Muslim violence. Guess who is still carrying around large knives and swords (muslims) and who is defenseless (English). They hide weapons in mosques, which law enforcement typically avoids raiding. There’s even video from a protest where an officer told them to put their weapons in the mosque.   These policies don’t stop violence - they mainly end up disarming the average, law-abiding citizen. They make it easier for Britain to drift toward a system more like Iran’s. At this point, it seems many of the most corrupt and unethical politicians are the ones currently in power, and it feels increasingly deliberate. Truly evil."
