The people of Seattle, at least some of them, are attempting to recall Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. A federal judge has just allowed their effort to proceed, at which point the feckless Mayor Durkan has appealed to the State Supreme Court. HALP!! The Seattle City Council, also a feckless bunch, has defunded the Seattle Police Force by $100 million, and laid off 100 policemen, preferably black ones. Do they have no understanding of what their actions will produce?
Austin Texas has apparently followed suit, gutting their police budget by one third, in order to fund Planned Parenthood, the abortion factory. Austin leads the country in percentage increase of total homicides compared to the previous year, passing Chicago, New York and Los Angeles according to the Wall Street Journal. There are always consequences.
Conservative states are being flooded with applications from policemen in troubled states who are being defunded and disrespected and want to move.
Democrats’ goal is always control, ever more complete control, but they just don’t seem to have any familiarity with consequences. There are always consequences. If you push the table too hard, the glasses fall off. If you drink too much coffee you won’t be able to get to sleep. Why the Seattle City Council can assume that there will be no consequences from defunding the police force and laying off 100 policemen is unfathomable, but one can be assured that one of the most notable will be dead bodies. And the responsibility for those deaths will go to the City Council. But that won’t be the end of it. Many of the Seattle small businesses are not planning to reopen, but to go somewhere else where there is police protection and the police are respected.
It’s not easy for small businesses to make enough money to survive and prosper. That is, after all, what our free enterprise economic system promises. If you have courage and work hard, you can succeed and perhaps even get rich. Democrats don’t like that. Odd, but they are just sure that everything would work better if they just had more complete control. So there you are.
