Tucker questions the reasoning behind the increase in violence, vandalism and vagrancy in major cities. Part of the problem is not calling it what it is.
Highlights include:
“My Block, My Hood, My City is a nonprofit organization in Chicago. It’s designed to teach kids how to become responsible citizens. We can’t tell you if the program actually works, but we do know they seem to be aiming in the right direction. Last Saturday afternoon, four members of this group went to Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood to hang Christmas lights, a pretty nice thing to do… As the kids hung their Christmas lights, four thugs got out of an SUV and robbed them. Then a few hours later, someone set fire to a Christmas tree they had set up in a nearby park.”
“By current standards, destroying someone’s religious symbol would be called a ‘hate crime.’ That’s a category much beloved and meticulously chronicled by the Biden justice department.”
“The DOJ can tell you precisely how many Qurans were burned last year in the United States, but they don’t keep track of Christmas trees. Why is that? Well, because they could care less.”
“These are not isolated incidents, and they’re not being perpetrated by grinches.”
“Here we have yet another criminal set free by left-wing ideologues to terrorize everyone else. This is the third arson attack on a Christmas tree at least in a major American city in the past week.”
“Time to connect some dots here? No.”
“Our streets are dangerous, much more dangerous than they’ve been in a long time, in decades. There are a lot of reasons for that, but one reason is our cities are overrun with metnally unstable vagrants who are living on the sidewalks.”
“Now, for a long time, we’ve called these people homeless, but let’s stop doing that. ‘The Homeless’ is a political term which is intentionally devised to mislead you. In fact, this problem has very little to do with homes or available housing or whatever Orwellian phrase they’re using at this point to pretend these people have no place to stay.”
“A lot of them could be staying indoors; they don’t want to because they’re addicted to drugs.”
“It’s that simple.”
“These aren’t just misguided attitudes. They are suicidal attitudes. Any society that gives drug addicts preference over homeowners will not last long.”
“In the meantime, people die. People die who don’t deserve to die. In Florida the other day, a vagrant murdered a 14-year-old boy who was out riding his bike. He had felony arrests in Georgia and California, including charges for aggravated assault and battery. Why wasn’t he in jail? Because authorities in Georgia and California let him go, so he went to Florida and murdered a child.”
“Saying it out loud is a start. You cannot solve problems until you resolve to stop lying about them.”
“Right now in New York City, 83% of the people arrested on gun charges are immediately released and sent back into the community. You have prosecutors who don’t want to prosecute, they’re more focused on targeting police than targeting the bad guys in the streets.”
“The bottom line is you need real leadership that’s not gonna’ be afraid to call it what it is.”
