Doctoral Candidate Who Sought to Prove Racial Disparities in Justice System Stabbed to Death in Chicago (1 Viewer)

Most people do not understand the word.

Probably the most misused word around.

And some people don't understand that there are different forms of irony just as I've found it almost impossible to tell socialists that there are different forms of socialism. To them there is only one.

At least they finally got him:

Man accused of "terrorizing downtown" with violent attacks on women, murder - CWB Chicago

A homeless man spent nine days "terrorizing downtown" with a series of violent attacks on women that culminated with the stabbing death of a Maryland woman last weekend, prosecutors said

If you're talking about a particular suspect, that's true, but then how are the locals supposed to know whom to look for if the local authorities and media don't provide those details to the public? It's obvious they're engaging in political pandering, and that should be a national discussion since these policies are prevalent across the country.

The local news did a good job reporting it. The only reason to make it national would be to politicize it....like you did.

It's not illegal, but, following James Q. Wilson's broken window theory, vagrancy should be. Earlier I gave the example of Venice Beach, California. Where do they go? How about locking up the violent loons jumping out of bushes and stabbing college students in the back? That would be a start.

I think the 'broken window theory' was falsified several years ago....

They do lock the perps up....after they commit a crime.

Another example of the backlash against the problem of homelessness comes from the most woke city in Texas, Austin, whose residents finally got fed up with it and reinstated a ban on camping in public:

Austin Police Can Start Ticketing People For Panhandling And Camping Or Sitting In Public

The city introduced a phased-in approach to enforcing the bans after voters approved their reinstatement last month.

But that really doesn't solve the homeless problem, does it?

Increasingly, people are choosing to leave cities, no doubt for reasons beyond crime, but it is a factor. They're sick of it.

At the same time people are still flocking to the cities because that's where the jobs are.

Refusing to publish or broadcast to the public a photo or description of the suspect has real-world policy implications, and this is being done across the country. That IS political. I mean, what was George Floyd's death? Why did it have international political implications?

Sociology tends to be one of the most left-leaning social sciences there is. So when it comes to a policy like "stop and frisk," the leftists among us are going to attempt to invalidate its effectiveness as a deterrent. But it's common sense that if that homeless camp had not existed Anat Kimchi would likely still be alive.

That's part of the problem. We can't treat someone with a severe mental illness unless they agree to it. People who have a limited grasp on reality, who aren't deemed mentally fit to sign a contract , are deemed fit to determine their course medical treatment. THAT is the pinnacle of lunacy. Our cities are filled with schizophrenics and drug addicts and their dealers, and our prisons have, by default, become our inpatient mental hospitals, except without treatment for mentally-ill inmates. Now the Left is calling our criminal justice system systemically racists and is demanding for the deinstitutionalization of criminals. More lunacy.

But that really doesn't solve the homeless problem, does it?

If we force the loons and drug addicts into treatment and lock up the criminals that would put a pretty good dent in it.

At the same time people are still flocking to the cities because that's where the jobs are.

That's debatable. From what I've read people are fleeing cities.
