There were 24% more homicides during the first half of 2023 than the first half of 2019. Across the nation crimes against persons and property occur almost daily, among them gang smash and grab attacks on retailers, car vandalism in urban and suburban areas, and shoplifting. Retail chains, like Walmart and Target, have closed outlets in certain areas when victimized by incessant thievery, causing them to lose money and be exposed to huge liability risks. Rates of recidivism in the U.S. are the highest in the world. Some 76% of felons are re-arrested within five years of their release from prison. The FBI annual crime report reveals an increase of 20% in the number of rapes committed annually since 2014.
In Fairfax County alone, crimes against persons increased by 10.5% from 2021 to 2022 and crimes against property increased by 19.1% during that same period. The 2022 Crimes in Virginia Report reveals a 4.9% increase in violent crimes statewide.
The anti-prosecution and anti-incarceration agendas of Soros-backed prosecutors along with the defund the police and cash bail elimination movements have substantially increased the crime burden carried by the public, causing repeat offenders to remain on the streets.
The efforts at destroying the criminal justice system are emboldening criminals, including career offenders, leading them to engage in crimes of greater magnitude and injury, turning virtually every American city into a place of unremitting victimization, murder, rape, assault, and theft.
Soros backed political action committees, including those oxymoronically entitled “Justice and Public Safety” PACs, have financed the campaigns of anti-incarceration and anti-prosecution candidates in urban areas across the United States, winning in races in virtually every major urban area, among them Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Los Angeles, Manhattan, Orlando, Philadelphia, Portland, Orlando, San Francisco, and St. Louis. The Soros money has caused anti-incarceration and anti-prosecution candidates to receive enormous financial support vastly superior to their opponents, sometimes in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Legislative solutions are sorely needed to stop these abuses that are destroying the criminal justice system and keeping offenders on the streets.
Pre-election agreements of candidates not to prosecute and not to incarcerate are criminal in nature because they flout the oaths and essential legal responsibilities of the offices they seek. The federal Hobbs Act should be amended to require federal prosecution of candidates who engage in this kind of quid-pro-quo. Under the Hobbs Act, when a public official trades official action for money a felony is committed. President Biden is being investigated for Hobbs Act violations. That law needs to be amended to reach those who seek state office and agree to a bribe (receipt of money or thing of value) in exchange for their willingness to avoid executing oaths of office or fulfilling the duties of that office.
In addition to amending the Hobbs Act, the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act needs to be amended to permit prosecution of interstate enterprises, like the Soros-backed Open Society and Justice and Public Safety PACs, in instances where they conspire to consummate anti-prosecution and anti-incarceration agreements with candidates as a condition precedent to the provision of campaign donations, thus inducing violations of their oaths of office and legal duties.
Moreover, state law needs to be changed to require DAs and Commonwealth’s Attorneys before they proceed with charging, prosecuting, or dismissing charges to report all facts and circumstances of alleged crimes to state Attorneys General and Sheriffs offices along with DA and Commonwealth’s Attorney’s recommended actions. The law ought to then allow the Attorney General or the Sheriff to accept or reject the DAs and Commonwealth’s Attorneys recommended action and proceed independently of the DA or Commonwealth’s Attorney in charging and prosecuting alleged offenders.
Finally, every state should adopt fulsome new impeachment provisions that will allow for the state impeachment of those elected to the position of DA or Commonwealth’s Attorney if they engage in a pattern of failing to charge and prosecute those who commit crimes against persons and property.
These are among actions sorely needed to prevent Soros-backed DAs and prosecutors from continuing to victimize the public by failing to prosecute and lock up criminals and by according criminals leniency even in the most heinous of circumstances.
These are all great ideas — if you could go back in time at least 20 years to enact them. Even then, our “leaders” in and out of government have been so corrupted that these laws would either be abused to go after political enemies (mostly on the right) or else never enforced against those likely guilty of breaking them (mostly on the left).
Hmmm, so the SOROS BACKED DA’s are PART of the PLAN to decriminalize our society??? Wouldn’t THAT little tidbit be GROUNDS for RICO charges in EVERY STATE that has a SOROS DA??? AND that should INCLUDE SOROS himself AND his spawns!!! It seems like those SOROS DA’s are rather FOND of the RICO prosecutions against LAWFUL actions so there should be NO ISSUES with using the SAME LAWS to go after THEM!! All it takes is an HONEST JUDGE and a STRONG GOVERNOR! Thankfully Gov. DeSantis has struck upon a LEGAL tack to remove several but they’re not being PROSECUTED – YET!!
Your excelent solution has seemed reasonable for many years. Yet, apparently, not one AG or Prosecutor has started the play. Hopefully, now that the Dems have opened that playbook, decent AGs prosecutors will follow their precedent and go after Obama, Clinton, Holder, Austin, Milley, and many other grifters. The Soros seditious gang must be taken to an honest court, if any exist anymore. IF they do not, the abuse will only continue one sided.
I’ve got an idea. How about American voters develop an attention span and critical faculties and actually learn about the pro-criminal DAs before voting these wretches into office, and often re-electing them.
Ouch, but true. Thank you.
Therein lies the problem: cognitive ability of voters. The very reason we are in this pickle. Big cities are utterly lost. The Founders even indicated we could continue the experiment as long as we were aware. We mostly are not.
This is a laundry list of interesting suggestions. However, there is a fly in the ointment. Any action at the federal level cannot … repeat … cannot happen. The federal government is a lost cause. Any hope for relief must come at the state and local level. Red state governors can begin the ousting of rogue prosecutors by firing or prosecution or both. Ron DeSantis is an excellent example which is why we need him and others where they are. Brian Kemp of Georgia is obviously not one of them. He might have spared the country a lot of anguish if he had done to his prosecutors what DeSantis did ti his. We need folks with a bit more cοjones than that.
Forget about Washington D.C. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
I do not understand Mr Soros! He comes from a family of holocaust survivors (from what I have read)! One would think that he would be more sensitive to all the insanity going on in the world rather than supporting it.
If you investigate his background further, you will find that he worked FOR the Nazis.
And, he has a god complex that seriously hinders his perception of reality.
Nihilists want only to watch the world burn before they themselves go under.
Its time to start longer time in Prison for those who commit serious Crimes Armed Robbers should be getting a 40 to 50 years in prison No PARLE No Plea Bargains No Pardons No Clemency and have Soros indited for Aiding and Abetting
El Salvador has found and initiated the necessary punitive measures that will deter myriad violent offenders.
Google their latest innovation.
Excellent and true.
Nayib Bukele has set a shining example of how to clean up a criminal society. But interestingly enough, our media has taken him to task. It’s as if our media prefers crime and criminals. For this reason, the effect of American media should never be underestimated. We desperately need a Bukele type here to clean up our federal agencies, the DOJ/FBI/IRS/DOE/Pentagon/Military Academies, etc., et al.
Why does our IRS need millions of bullets and automatic weapons and then run recruiting ads inviting people ready to use these weapons on citizenry?
IF the IRS needs assistance collecting taxes, they should get a (honest) judge’s order and use it with local police departments. Enough with the militarization of our federal agencies.
If you ascribe the actions of these Soros funded lackeys as actions to destroy the United States, the point becomes obvious. Just as the actions of Fidelito Castro-Trudeau are an actual attempt to destroy Canada.
when the j6 crowd are sent away for 16 yrs plus and some prosecuted for just being there on the day and the BLM and antifa crowd are paid compensation for billions of dollars in damage they caused you know america is stuffed .
