He doesn\u2019t want to put criminals in jail"},"content":{"rendered":"

Good day all. There is a lot going on these days, thanks to the Leftard Democrats looking for the Civil War setting on their violence dial. One of the things that has slid under the radar was a comment by Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He is currently running for reelection and during a debate, announced that he didn\u2019t believe that repeat offenders should be jailed. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Seattle<\/a> Democratic Mayor Bruce Harrell said during a mayoral debate Thursday night he has “no desire” to put repeat criminal defenders in jail, and he doesn’t know how to answer the question on whether the city is “too lax” on repeat offenders. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“<\/b><\/strong>So, let me make something very clear. I was the one that sponsored the \u2018Ban the Box\u2019 legislation when everyone opposed it because the criminal system has had a disparate impact on Black and Brown communities, let me lead with that,” Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said in a mayoral debate Thursday night when asked a follow-up question about repeat offenders in the city. <\/b><\/p>\n

And what, you may ask, is the \u201cBan the Box\u201d legislation? This is a law that bans employers from asking about a job applicants criminal history. Now there are some positives and negatives regarding this law. One big negative is that there are jobs that a former convict not only should not be allowed to take, they flat out can\u2019t be allowed. On the flip side, there are those who were convicted, served their sentence and paid their debt to society who are looking to \u201cDo right.\u201d Most of these people aren\u2019t multiple offenders.<\/p>\n

Harrell then said, “When this person is committing six or seven crimes, I don\u2019t know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as a child. Maybe they\u2019re hungry. But my remedy is to find their life story to see how we can help. First, I have no desire to put them in jail, but I need to protect you, and that\u2019s the calibration that we have. <\/b><\/p>\n

“I put police officers on the stand. I\u2019ve cross-examined them. So, whether they commit seven or eight crimes, to me, is not the issue. The issue is, why are they committing these crimes? And so we have a health-based strategy.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If someone is committing multiple felonies, then in most cases, they need to be locked up forever, or simply hanged depending on the crimes. There are very very few multiple offenders who decide to straighten up and fly right. One that I am aware of is a man named JD Delay<\/a>. I don\u2019t know much about him other then he has a YouTube channel<\/a>. I first heard about him on the Unsubscribe Podcast<\/a>. It seems that he is one of the rare ones who cleaned up his act. Generally people like him are the exceptions to the rule.<\/p>\n

Repeat offenders have been a part of the national conversation with respect to crimes in recent weeks after several high-profile murders carried out by suspects with lengthy criminal records, including in North Carolina where Ukrainian\u00a0Iryna Zarutska was\u00a0<\/b>stabbed to death<\/b><\/u><\/a> on a train by a suspect with a long history of arrests going back more than a decade, including charges of felony larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon and communicating threats. <\/b><\/p>\n

There is absolutely no question whatsoever that if that dirtbag had been locked up Ms. Iryna Zarutska would be alive today.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year in South Carolina, 22-year-old\u00a0Logan Federico was\u00a0<\/b>robbed and executed<\/b><\/u><\/a> during a home invasion by a suspect who had 39 charges on his record. <\/b><\/p>\n

These are the people that Harrell seems to want to protect. Most people have had it with soft on crime Democrats. Idiots like Harrell are putting these animals ahead of the citizens. When Harrell was asked if the city was to soft on criminals, this pinhead had no answer.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know how to answer that question. \u2018Too lax,\u2019 I don\u2019t know how you gauge that.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Harrell continued to tape dance around the subject saying we need officers who can make \u201cConstitutional arrests.\u201d It does appear that his publicists figured out that he had really put his foot into it.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the mayor defended the debate remarks, saying Harrell “believes people need to be held accountable for their actions – full stop.” <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I looked at who was running against Harrell. Yeah, as hard as it is to believe, the other candidate is even worse then Harrell is. Here\u2019s a synopsis of her positions from Fox 13 Seattle<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Katie Wilson<\/a>, a current coalition leader, brings a variety of ideas aimed at improving the lives of Seattleites. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wilson’s spent her career fighting for working families, and has big goals for affordable housing, public transportation, workers\u2019 rights, public safety, and more. She co-founded and serves as the executive director of the Transit Riders Union, and led campaigns to raise the minimum wage, strengthen renter protections and improve access to low-income individuals. <\/b><\/p>\n

I found a few other details<\/a> about this nitwit. Apparently she went to Oxford University. She studied Physics and Communism<\/i><\/span> philosophy. Other then organizing some sort of union, I don\u2019t think she\u2019s really amounted to much. Harrell has accused her of wanting to cut the police force by 50%, but since I\u2019m not following that race, I don\u2019t care. She\u2019s just another soft on crime leftard meathead.<\/p>\n

Harrell, who received criticism on social media for his comments, is running for re-election in a November election where he faces off against longtime progressive activist Katie Wilson, who has\u00a0<\/b>faced criticism<\/b><\/u><\/a> from the mayor for past calls to lower police staffing. <\/b><\/p>\n

Widely known for her role in helping establish and continuing to lead the left-wing Transit Riders Union, Wilson champions progressive positions such as minimum wage increases, better access to public transit and affordable housing. She has also pledged to “Trump-proof” Seattle and has been\u00a0<\/b>likened to New York City’s Zohran Mamdani<\/b><\/u><\/a> by political pundits. <\/b><\/p>\n

Like I mentioned above. She\u2019s a communist. As for \u201cTrump Proofing\u201d Seattle? That sounds a lot like she intends to start an insurrection.<\/p>\n

When asked about her plan for addressing repeat offenders, Wilson touted the city\u2019s “diversion” program “where if someone is arrested they have the opportunity instead of going through that booking and jail process to be diverted” into case management processes for drug treatment and shelter. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a better idea. How about \u201cDiverting\u201d these criminals into a nice safe prison? I\u2019m rather curious which one of these two moonbats is going to win in November. Sadly, the option for both of them to lose doesn\u2019t exist and it looks like the Republicans have written off the city. (That is a damn stupid idea too. They should be working to rebuild in areas like this) In any case, it looks like Seattle is another great place never to go.<\/p>\n
