OPINION

Dear Friends,

Can you imagine walking down the street in New York City and a guy punches you for no reason or throws you off a subway platform? If you own a business anywhere in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or even Washington DC among other Democrat controlled cities, imagine organized gangs invading your business, smashing and grabbing your merchandise? In all these places, District Attorneys, financed by George Soros, refuse to prosecute these blatant criminals, and there is no cash bail! The same criminals are able to operate over and over again with absolute impunity.

Folks, I value a person based on how they think and how they treat me. I also have no problem pointing out factual reality. Gangs, involved in vicious attacks, high-jackings, smash and grabs, and other violent crimes have become totally out of control, and we are no longer safe anywhere in most American cities. Crime has increased in all aspects, the police have been defunded and are no longer effective. Where are the parents and community leaders who should be influencing the American youth? Anarchy is happening throughout our country and we are no longer safe.

Interestingly, this rarely happens in Florida, because of Governor Ron DeSantis, where crime is not tolerated, regardless of a person’s race. There is cash bail, there is a stand your ground law (many private citizens are legally armed), and criminals are arrested, prosecuted, and go to jail. I think Florida is the safest state in the Union, because our Governor and his legislature have good sense and are willing to protect the citizens in the Sunshine State.

Folks, the answers to these problems are obvious. Vote out these Democrat Mayors, Governors and weak, prosecuting Attorneys, increase funding for the police, bring back cash bail, and promote more, active community outreach in impoverished communities. It is imperative that repeat offenders are removed from our society and locked up. Do I think this will happen any time soon? No, unfortunately I do not.

Regardless, crime will be a major issue in the 2024 election. The United States should look to Florida as the proper way to govern.

That is the way I see it. What do you think? As always your feedback is welcome and appreciated.
