Eric Adams Sounds Positively Sensible Calling For 'Involuntary' Removal Of Dangerous People

Posted • November 22, 2024: Is the political and cultural tide turning? We certainly hope so, especially if it means bringing back sanity with regards to law enforcement and public safety. For years -- in the name of 'equity' and 'criminal justice reform' -- Lefties have let violent criminals with looooong records out of prison again and again. This turnstile brand of justice leads to more crime, more innocent victims, and a decline in quality of life because businesses leave, people move, and cities are left to the whims of criminals. Many times, those criminals are also mentally ill. That's not an excuse for their behavior, but it's another reason why government has an obligation -- one it's failed to fulfill -- to protect innocent citizens. But people are getting fed up and a lot of the country shifted to the Right this last election because of the Left's soft-on-crime policies.

For all his faults, New York Mayor Eric Adams seems to finally be reading the political winds: Mayor Adams calls for the 'involuntary removal' of people who are 'a danger to others' on the streets. Reports show that a majority of crime in NYC is committed by a few hundred repeat offenders. This notion we can't take them off the streets is, and always has been, ludicrous. This revolving-door 'justice' also caused the deaths of three New Yorkers at the hands of one of those dangerous people. All we ask is for government to enforce the laws. Regardless of the racial background of the offenders. He’s going full MAGA! Will Trump pardon him? He's in some serious legal trouble, so maybe he's angling for a pardon. Or maybe he's fed up with the Democrats who threw him under the bus (this writer contends if he wasn't a vocal critic of the Biden-Harris immigration policy, he wouldn't be facing those criminal charges).

I'm convinced Mayor Adams has been popping a couple of red pills on the side 😂 I think it’s about time Mayor Adams finally acknowledged the dangers on our streets, but let’s not ignore the fact that it took far too long to get here. For years, New Yorkers have been living in fear, dealing with rising crime, lawlessness, and streets overtaken by those who are a danger to themselves and others. I’ve watched as leaders like Adams let the situation spiral out of control while pretending everything was fine. While this is a step in the right direction, the damage has already been done. It shouldn’t take years of public outcry and declining quality of life for leadership to act. New York City deserves better than delayed solutions and reactive policies. We need proactive leadership that prioritizes public safety from the start, not when it’s politically convenient. People shouldn't have to live in fear because their government fails to jail criminals. (…)
