That graphic was shared on Bill Maher's show last night. Assuming those points are accurate, it's a goddamned disgrace.

D.A.’s prioritize the crimes they’re going to prosecute because we don’t have infinite resources, time, man power, court time and prison space. News at 11.

The minor alcohol and trespassing I am ok with.

But the rest? Yea we already have a large subculture of lawless attitude, and this will further degrade our society. Once millions of people have no respect for property rights society is going to pot. And we are close to that point.

Okay, fine, what was the context? Why is it happening and where all is it happening?

Those woke district attorneys want to show how progressive they are when it comes to crimes that are disproportionately committed by two certain groups.

It is the current zeitgeist in this nation, and I fear that nothing can be really done to stop it.

Yea some things done in the name of social justice only hurt the people it claims to champion.

What poor inner city people need isn't more crime, it's less. This kind of thing only increases the distance westh wants to get from the lawless poor, and I creases their poverty.

Kind of like burning and looting in the name of social justice only hurts poor neighborhoods. Normal people will pack up and move to prevent s future looting spree of their small business.......and poverty increases.

What are the two certain groups?

Interesting. I have been seeing a lot more of these partison type attacks from Trump supporters lately.

Finding a crime and its punishment and screamimg about progressives.

Sort of a "progressives won't keep me safe" vibe.

To early yet for the caravans of rapists and murderers but along the same line.

Does the messaging scare you and make you want to vote for Republicans?

The right wing news must be pushing this as the newest faux outrage narrative.

I try not to get too upset about a picture on the Internet.

Routine problems within a woke society. It's too bad...

Do you not realize that they are looking the other way when it comes to these types of crimes because there are so many more of these crimes because of their ignoring crime? Wake the hell up.

Yea, that does not help.
What DA's? Where? 90% of the communities in the country are too small to have a district attorney, so what does that mean? What exactly is a "progressive DA?" Is there a test? Do you self nominate to be one? Are there DA's sending out public bulletins announcing the crimes they are no longer prosecuting?

In short, that graphic is utterly pointless and your faux outrage is silly.

Take a look at LA and San Francisco. They have turned into complete shitholes due to permissive attitudes like this. Simply disgusting.

You would be fine with a prior convict, gang or even menacing individual sitting on your porch doing whatever they want? Would that be fine if they were doing that to an old little lady or attractive woman?

A solution is to quadruple the size of the government to accommodate all the extra judges, prisons, and cops necessary to prosecute all crimes. With a large enough government, every crime can be prosecuted (which means you’re going to prison). Would you like that?

Where have you been?

Newly sworn-in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg released an internal policy memo this week outlining criminal offenses he will no longer prosecute, including fare beating, marijuana misdemeanors, resisting arrest, trespassing, and prostitution — as long as they do not accompany other felonies..

I'm would prefer that handled under harassment or something. Which prevents pick and choose trespassing charges.

In what world is Bill Maher remotely right wing?

Pretty sweeping generalization without any context.

Would you be ok with someone you don't like or who has threatened you to repeatedly set up a lawn chair in your back yard and camp out knowing they would face no consequences?

A question best suited for you, as you brought it up (no surpise there).

Part of the ongoing problem with leftists is their dependence on government -- it seems government can never be big enough for you guys.

As per usual with the FRW hair on fire threads.

That is harassment.
