Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(Dumbass- N.Y.) recently tried to link the dramatic increase of violent crime
in New York to unemployment…and the police department. At a town hall event the
Mindless One stated: “Do we think this has to do with
the fact that there’s record unemployment in the United States right now? Maybe
this has to do with the fact that people aren’t paying their rent and are
scared to pay their rent. And so they go out and they need to feed their child
and they don’t have money. So, you maybe have to — they’re put in a position
where they feel like they either need to shoplift
some bread or go hungry that night.”
This is mind-boggling idiocy.
Looters and thieves aren’t touching food, they are taking high-end televisions
and electronics, designer clothing and Gucci handbags. And unemployment and
non-existent hunger certainly don’t account for the surge in beatings, murders
and overall street violence. Children as young as one-year-old have been shot
and killed lately, pregnant women accosted and strollers overturned. Even
statues of the Virgin Mary have been defaced. This is not hunger, it is evil.
The uptick in violence has,
however, paralleled the push to defund the police. Mayor de Blasio has pledged
to cut over one billion dollars from the NYPD. A plainclothes unit has already
been disbanded. Morale is at an all-time low. Many cops are calling in sick,
many more are leaving the force altogether.
One of the reasons progressives
want to erase history is because it proves them wrong. In every case. New York in
the 1970s and 1980s was a dirty, dangerous city. In 1990, the city experienced a
staggering 2,245 murders. Then Mayor Rudy Giuliani came in and significantly increased
the number of cops, established proactive “broken window” policing and oversaw
a miraculous decline in homicides…and lesser crimes, as well. The number of
murders stayed low until this year, when timid, incompetent leadership merged
with the BLM/Antifa/Marxist/anarchist riots to supercharge crime.
Ocasio-Cortez’ comical contention
that hunger might be responsible for the sudden and dramatic increase in
carnage on the streets of New York City lead me to wonder what excuses she
might have conjured up about other historic tragedies.
AOC on the South seceding from the
Union: “I think maybe they just, like, felt marginalized by the North’s
industrial might, and were afraid that the Union would, like, ban the sale and
consumption of grits and cornbread.”
AOC on the Japanese surprise attack
on Pearl Harbor: “Do we think that this has to do with the fact that American’s
were greedily consuming far more calories than the average Japanese person was,
like, on an annual basis? Also, Americans’
racism and bigotry stunted the sale of Japanese chopsticks and sake, so the
Japanese were maybe put into a position where they felt like they had to do
something or go hungry at night.”
AOC on the Holocaust: “Maybe the Germans,
like, just didn’t want to see their cuisine overwhelmed by kosher food and their
steel helmets replaced by yarmulkes. Maybe they were afraid that Octoberfest
would be replaced by, like, Yom Kippur…or whatever.”
