When The Constitution Isn't Enforced

This is the type of person Police encounter every day. It's sad that we victimize our Police the way we do. They are our shield...and we are theirs. People are terrorized when criminals are let out of jail the same day...to exact their "revenge". If this keeps up, there's gonna be a bloodbath on city streets and a lotta innocent people will be hurt. Democrat "leaders" need to enforce the Constitution or be removed from office via Judicial Review.

 

Here's another Democrat solving the homeless crisis...

 

There's a common (willful?) misunderstanding whenever this issue seems to come up. It's not that people don't want criminals held, it's that we literally don't have space, it's an issue with overcrowding. You want a real solution? Decriminalize a bunch of stuff, stop trying to send people to jail/prison for things like drug charges and other non-violent crime.

We don't have the infrastructure to house the highest prisoners per Capita of any nation on Earth.



Sidenote while we're here, do you think that stat might be a red flag you're living in a bit of a police state?

 

Really, are you that naïve? Do you really think the Soros backed DA’s are filling the jails with low level pot possession so they have to let career and violent criminals out on no bail?

Boston anti-violence activist charged with fraud, conspiracy in federal indictment
March 15, 2022

Local activist Monica Cannon-Grant and her husband, Clark Grant, founders of an anti-violence nonprofit Violence in Boston, were indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury and charged with wire fraud, mail fraud, conspiracy and making false statements to a mortgage lending business.

Prosecutors from U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins’ office allege in the indictment that Cannon-Grant, 41, the founder and CEO of Violence in Boston, and Grant, 38, a founding director, intentionally conspired to use the nonprofit “as a vehicle to solicit and receive charitable contributions from institutional and individual donors” that they then used for “a wide range of personal expenses and to enrich themselves while concealing such expenditures from VIB directors, officers and others.”

The 18-count indictment alleges that between 2017 and 2021, Cannon-Grant applied for numerous public and private grants and received donations to her nonprofit, but used that money for personal expenses, including hotel reservations, groceries, gas, car rentals, auto repairs, Uber rides, nail salons, restaurants, food deliveries and personal travel.

"We are extremely disappointed the government rushed to judgment here," Cannon-Grant's attorney Robert Goldstein said in a statement Tuesday. "VIB and Monica have been fully cooperating and their production of records remains ongoing. Drawing conclusions from an incomplete factual record does not represent the fair and fully informed process a citizen deserves from its government, especially someone like Monica who has worked tirelessly on behalf of her community. We remain fully confident Monica will be vindicated when a complete factual record emerges.”

Cannon-Grant was arrested Tuesday morning and later released on her own recognizance following a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Judge Judith G. Dein. Federal prosecutors did not ask she be detained until her trial. Pre-trial conditions prohibit her from engaging in any employment or volunteer or unpaid positions that allow her access to monetary funds, disbursements of monetary funds, salary payments or any other financial responsibilities.

Adam Deitch, a federal prosecutor, expressed concern about Cannon-Grant having access to the nonprofit's funds, "given the pervasiveness and flagrancy of the defendants fraud here and how it relates to the finances of this nonprofit organization." Deitch and attorney Ben Connolly, who represented Cannon-Grant, plan to negotiate her role as the CEO of Violence in Boston.

"The sticking point there is that Ms. [Cannon-]Grant continues to run Violence in Boston," Connolly said during the hearing. "They pay monthly rent in Hyde Park. They run food pantries out of Hyde Park on Wednesdays and Fridays that serve 50 to 70 individuals. So we would ask that the court not impose that condition."

While allegedly providing herself with a $170,092 income from the organization's coffers in 2021, prosecutors allege that Cannon-Grant “falsely represented VIB as a nonprofit that did not pay salaries or other compensation” to either Cannon-Grant or Grant.

The couple was also charged with fraudulently collecting federal pandemic unemployment benefits, despite being employed full-time. Grant collected $67,950 in COVID-19 unemployment benefits from May 2020 to September 2021, according to prosecutors. Cannon-Grant's pre-trial conditions prohibit her from applying for unemployment benefits, loans or grants, unless approved by the court.

Charges also include allegedly defrauding a mortgage company when applying for a home loan last year. The couple is accused of submitting “false information and fraudulent documentation that represented VIB assets as personal assets and concealed the fraudulent nature of Grant’s" pandemic unemployment assistance income.

Cannon-Grant could face prison sentence of up to 20 years for each of the 13 counts of wire fraud and two counts of wire fraud conspiracy, five years for conspiracy and up to 30 years for the charge of making false statements to a mortgage lending business.

That's all due to a failure of Progressive economics and social experiments. It's a combination of schools that don't teach and minimum wage laws that make it illegal to hire poorly educated workers. What other options are left? The Left keeps our black communities in a constant state of anger and oppression. That's what gives them money and power. Black communities need to resist the Democrat party...and Republicans need to engage more to help communities understand the power they have to shape their own futures.

I had hoped Obama would have led that effort...but I was sadly mistaken.

It did not take long to get to Soros...

And no, it's not that they're full necessarily, it's that they've created a massive backlog of court cases. So if you were to not let anyone out, they would stay in jail for a very long time before their court date happens, and the jails would overflow even more. If you only don't let out violent offenders, great, but we still need to decriminalize lesser crimes clogging up the court backlog so that it doesn't take months/years for the offenders to even get a trial.

 

Here's a novel idea...How about we teach children how to be happy, productive, drug-free citizens instead?

 

That's not mutually exclusive to decriminalization, you can do both. But for the record we tried that and at least the D.A.R.E. approach was entirely ineffective.

 

I was thinking of something more along the lines of church.

 

Might have to look for a more secular approach

 

Church means a lotta things to a lotta people. In the most practical sense, a church is a voluntary association of people based on common values and beliefs. They share a common vision of Life's priorities and goals...of what's right and what's wrong. Together, they strive to bring love, joy, and support to each other's evolving lives. I really don't see what's wrong with that. Yet, there are people who can't conceive of anything greater than themselves and lure young people away from God to suit their purposes. That's what your graph shows. That's what the videos show.

 

There's nothing wrong with what you're describing, but there's nothing wrong with how people who don't believe in a higher power live their life either.

 

Sheriff Joe Arpaio never seemed to have a problem adding more capacity...

 

No one said there was anything "wrong"...it's just terribly limiting. People have experiences (good and bad) they organize and internalize in different ways...some constructive and some destructive. Having a blueprint for Life that's been developed and refined over many millennia...is probably the best approach, even if (initially) it doesn't make any sense at all.

 

Christians, especially, yuck. Self-righteous hypocrites. Please go proselytize elsewhere.

 

...case in point.

 

Then stop acting like self-righteous hypocrites. Problem solved.

 

A question was asked and answered. I'm sorry you disapprove.
