London is the latest city going to Hell in a handbasket, after car theft has been decriminalized due to essentially nothing happening to car thieves.
It was revealed that less than one percent of all car thefts resulted in criminal charges and perhaps is has something to do with the attitude of London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who has embraced violence in the city over the past few years, calling it “part and parcel of living in a big city,” so it is not really surprising that London has now become a haven for crime.
Breitbart reported:
Out of the nearly 55,000 thefts from vehicles in London last year, Scotland Yard only solved 271, representing just an 0.5 per cent success rate, according to an analysis of Home Office data conducted by The Telegraph.
According to the broadsheet, only two major police forces fared worse than London in successfully charging car thieves, with the West Midlands and Surrey police forces only maintaining a 0.4 per cent charging rate.
Rick Muir, the head of the Police Foundation said that car theft has been “effectively decriminalized” and as a result, criminals are even more emboldened, knowing that they are unlikely to face any charges.
“There are certain things the public expect of police, one of which is that they will at least investigate these bread-and-butter crimes,” said Muir.
“Policing is going to have to look at these levels and decide if it has got it right. Where the charge rates are at that level, there is no deterrence to commit these kinds of offenses and it might encourage people to commit them in future,” he added.
The numbers are even more shocking when you consider that police in the United Kingdom, have readily been able to find resources and manpower to lock down the country and harass citizens who have dared to be offensive in their speech – they had plenty of time to find the man who left a bacon sandwich outside of a mosque, which caught him a one-year prison term.
Another man last month was thrown in prison for posting an “offensive” meme featuring convicted felon and drug-addict George Floyd, who died of an overdose while resisting police in Minnesota in May 2020.
A 50-year-old mother in Scotland was charged with a “transphobic hate crime” for tweeting a picture of a suffragette ribbon and a man named Harry Miller was interrogated by Humberside Police for posting an “offensive” limerick about a transgender person and was told to “check his thinking.”
When Miller told police he did not write the “offensive” limerick, an officer told Miller, “Ah. But you liked it and promoted it. It’s not a crime, but it will be recorded as a hate incident.”
The police obviously have time on their hands to “investigate” that ridiculousness, and in 2017 alone, they managed to arrest 3,395 people for “offensive online comments,” while complaining that they didn’t have the resources needed to investigate burglaries and it turns out two thirds aren’t even investigated at all.
It seems that a certain faction in the government wants firearm manufacturers to be sued out of business if a third party kills or injures someone with a gun made by that company. No mention was made to determine if the action was accidental or deliberate. Would these rules be used against other manufacturers? For instance, in the case of a car accident with casualties or deaths, would the car manufacturer be responsible for the injuries? It seems to me that the fault would be with the operator, not with the manufacturer, unless the fault is due to a problem with the manufacture of the item in question. This is a blatant attack on manufacturers of legal items, done with the intent of driving those manufacturers out of business. It would be an attack on the Second Amendment of The Constitution, and be unlawful in that case. It would also mean every manufacturer of any product made would be financially responsible for any harm to a user of any product for as long as the product was in use. But, I suppose to a fanatical anti gun person, anything that removes one gun from one person is legitimate, and damn The Constitution. If one Amendment can be destroyed so easily, so can they all. That is a solution for Communist China, not the free United States.
But Communist China controls the US government and most of its leaders so what else would you expect ?
