Many of our largest cities simply aren’t safe anymore. A relentless crime wave is terrorizing citizens from coast to coast, and it has gotten to a point where many people are literally afraid to walk outside of their own homes. Of course conditions are the worst in blue cities. In fact, every example that I am going to share with you in this article comes from an area that is being run by liberals. Our once great cities are being systematically destroyed, and our politicians are unwilling to do what is necessary to turn things around.
In Philadelphia, a car dealership that was open for less than a week may be forced to close because thieves stole most of the cars on the lot…
A car dealership open for less than a week in Philadelphia’s Mayfair section is on the brink of closing for good after thieves made off with several cars on Wednesday.
“If we don’t recover the cars, we probably won’t survive it,” said Nathan Kriegler, the co-owner of City Motors of Philadelphia. “It could be the start and the end all in the same week.”
I have never heard of anything like this before.
In addition to taking seven of the eleven vehicles that the small dealership owns, the thieves were also able to get away with their titles too…
They ransacked his office, stole the keys to seven of the 11 cars on the lot, and made off with them. They also broke into an eighth car and tried to hot-wire it but were unsuccessful.
They also made off with the titles of the cars.
Down in Washington D.C., carjacking has become an absolutely massive problem.
In fact, things are so bad that even members of Congress are starting to get carjacked…
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, was carjacked Monday night about a mile from the Capitol.
His chief of staff confirmed the incident in a statement and said he was not injured.
“As Congressman Cuellar was parking his car this evening, 3 armed assailants approached the Congressman and stole his vehicle. Luckily, he was not harmed and is working with local law enforcement. Thank you to Metro PD and Capitol Police for their swift action and for recovering the Congressman’s vehicle,” the statement said.
His case is fairly typical.
Overall, 75 percent of all carjacking incidents in D.C. involve the use of guns.
And many times those guns are in the hands of young kids.
When one of these young kids decides that it is time to pull the trigger, it isn’t going to matter what you believe.
You could be the most “woke” leftist in the world, but that isn’t going to prevent you from getting killed.
32-year-old Ryan Carson was a very well known “social justice and climate change activist” in New York City, but the young criminal that stabbed him in the chest multiple times didn’t stop to ask what his political beliefs were…
Ryan Carson, a 32-year-old social justice and climate change activist, was brutally stabbed to death in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
Carson was stabbed multiple times in the chest around 4 a.m. at Lafayette Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard. He was with his girlfriend at the time, waiting at a bus stop after leaving a wedding, according to CBS New York.
The suspect, who was acting erratically, approached Carson and asked, “What are you looking at?” before launching the fatal attack.
And even though he repeatedly mocked those that were concerned about rising crime in our streets, that didn’t stop left-wing journalist Josh Kruger from getting shot seven times inside his own home…
A left-wing Philadelphia journalist who mocked concern over rising crime in Democrat-run cities was shot to death in his home.
Josh Kruger was shot seven times after someone entered his home, shot him at the base of his stairs, and then fled. Kruger ran outside seeking help from his neighbors and collapsed, where police found them after responding to call just before 1:30 a.m. on the 2300 block of Watkins Street.
People like this never want to listen to the warnings.
Now they are dead.
At this point, I have no idea why anyone would want to live in Philadelphia. It is one of the epicenters of our national drug crisis, and the two nights of rampant looting that we just witnessed made headlines all over the planet…
On the second night of flash mob looting in Philadelphia, the robbers ransacked the liquor store Fine Wine and Good Spirits, attacking its safe and lottery machine, as shown in footage spreading on social media. Reporter of FOX 29 News Philadelphia Steve Keeley, who originally reported on Wednesday night’s thefts, later posted the videos showing the aftermath of some looting that occurred at a sneaker warehouse in the city.
If you live in Philadelphia, New York City, Washington or any other major city on the east coast, I would consider moving while you still can.
Of course the same thing applies to the major cities on the west coast.
In particular, crime is completely and utterly out of control in the Bay Area.
This week, I was horrified to learn that one serial shoplifter actually doused a store clerk in lighter fluid and set him on fire…
This is the horrific moment a Bay Area store clerk was set ablaze by a homeless serial shoplifter as he tried to stop him from stealing.
Suraj, who declined to provide his last name for fear of being targeted again, can be seen trying to wrestle Kendall Burton, 38, before being doused in lighter fluid.
The surveillance footage shows Suraj’s head consumed by flames as another store clerk runs to his rescue with a baseball bat.
That is nuts.
But this is the world that we live in now.
Along the shore, those that live on houseboats are yachts are having a major problem with “pirates”…
Residents living on houseboats and yachts in the San Francisco Bay resorted to physically fighting off seafaring bandits who are ransacking their ships, former harbor master Brock de Lappe said.
Another woman said she rescued a man whose sailboat drifted into the bay without a motor or any way to get back to shore after one of the “pirates,” which is what the resident call the burglars, cut his boat line during an argument.
“The open shoreline of the (Oakland-Alameda) estuary is littered with sunken wrecks and derelict, end-of-life vessels, and crime has risen to truly intolerable levels,” de Lappe said during a municipal meeting.
Yes, this is actually happening.
And it is being reported that the police “have failed to intervene” so those that are being robbed are being forced to fight off the “pirates” themselves…
The brazen thieves – whose homeless encampments have spilled out of the city – are taking small motor-powered dinghies and using them in smash-and-grab raids on larger vessels and houseboats.
During Wednesday’s San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s enforcement meeting community members spoke of having to fight off the pirates themselves as police in the Democrat-run city have failed to intervene.
Sadly, this is just the beginning.
What will you do when thieves finally come to your home?
You might want to start thinking about that, because conditions in this country are going to steadily get worse.
Illegal immigration is fueling the rapid growth of criminal gangs, and these gangs are becoming very aggressive.
And this isn’t just happening near the southern border.
In Oakland County, Michigan the activity of “transnational gangs” is causing a major crisis…
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard called Friday for tighter border security as his office works with multiple agencies to intercept the efforts of “transnational gangs” involved in “high-end burglaries,” prowling across Oakland county and throughout the nation.
The sheriff detailed at a press conference what officials have learned about the burglaries that have ravaged Michigan’s second most populous county, resulting in what Bouchard described as the loss of “hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of merchandise. He did not detail how many arrests have been made or other details authorities have complied in connection with incidents but said “there are specific threads” officials are aware of.
Unfortunately, the Biden administration has no intention of doing anything about our wide open borders.
So more criminals are pouring in through our southern border with each passing day.
The stage is being set for chaos in the streets of America that will be unlike anything we have ever seen before.
But things didn’t have to turn out this way.
If our leaders would have made much different decisions, we could have gotten much different results.
