You watched with horror as big blue blob cities and states, and their Soros-funded DAs and city attorneys, allowed crime to run rampant in 2020, and never looked back. But when Donald Trump retook the White House, he aimed to put a stop to the rampant crime, even in cities that didn’t vote for him. Now, explains Douglas Murray in the New York Post, even blue city residents can’t deny that fighting crime actually works. Murray writes of Trump’s Washington, D.C. crime clean-up:
Even Trump haters are having to admit that it’s working.
Long-time DC resident Andrew Sullivan this week wrote a mea-culpa column in which he had to fess up.
Having originally been one of the people who had “harrumphed” at Trump’s cleanup, Sullivan admitted that when he returned to the city recently, “I had to eat my harrumphs. The city felt instantly different: calmer, quieter, saner.”
The park opposite where he lived was, he said, once a pile of drug needles and crime; now there was quiet.
“It was 10 days before I was accosted by a mentally ill homeless person on the street,” he went on, “something that was a daily occurrence before.”
And that’s the thing with the crime crackdown.
It works.
As of course it would.
If you put hundreds of troops and other law enforcement on the streets — and make them highly visible — then of course crime will fall.
A criminal has to be severely deranged — and there are some — to commit a crime right in front of a law-enforcement officer.
The people who like to pretend that this is some prelude to fascism should consider for a moment that perhaps it is something else: a completely necessary response to cities that were spinning out of control.
Murray goes on to worry about the Mamdani administration in his hometown of New York City, where the mayor “has appointed person after person to his transition team who thinks crime is relative and prisons are the problem.”
Action Line: Allowing crime to go unpunished is a choice. If you live in a city or state that has made the choice to give criminals free rein, maybe you need to look for a better America.
