I can only see this ending well for New York City
Last year, New York City decided to install needle drop boxes for the drug addicts to safely dispose of their drug paraphanilia.
What ended up happening is that drug addicts were convinced that the city had decriminalized shooting up heroin in parks, because why would the city give them convenient disposal services if it wasn’t legal to use?
Faced with huge numbers of addicts shooting up and shitting in NYC parks, the NYPD bravely chose to ignore the problem.
So, fast forward to today. What policy could New York implement that would be worst than that?
Sex Work Would Be Broadly Legal in New York Under New Bill Introduced Monday
That ought to do it. I can’t think of a better way to drastically increase quality of life crimes than let hookers roam free.
A group of lawmakers first called for legislation in February, but on Monday they finally came forward with a 13-page bill that would bring dramatic changes to the sex trade in the state.
The bill, written with advocacy group DecrimNY, would make it legal to both buy and sell sex under certain circumstances and modifies laws around facilities that are used as places of prostitution.
Better start buying up those shitty hotels as investment properties, the flophouse market is going to BOOM.
“For us, this is a bodily autonomy issue — our bodies, our choice — but more than that, it’s an economic issue. And it’s personal,” Jessica Raven, one of Decrim NY’s organizers, wrote in a Daily News op-ed Monday.
Two of the bill’s sponsors, state senators Jessica Ramos and Julia Salazar, have said that 9 out of 10 people arrested in sex-work-related massage parlor raids are immigrants, with most being undocumented Asians.
So this will only encourage gangs to traffic in more Asian women for prostitution.
LGBTQ youth, who often run away from home seeking acceptance, trade sex at 7 to 8 times the rate of other youth in New York City, Ramos and Salazar say.
So emotionally damaged gay and trans teens can now hook without the fear of getting arrested.
Again, this seems like it will encourage more teens to enter prostitution than solve the issues that cause them to go into prostitution in the first place.
Of course, this will increase LGBT teen and trafficked Asian women to more abuse though pimps and people who will take advantage of them.
I’m seeing only negatives here.
More flophouses, more pimps, more street walking, more sleaze-bag johns, more crime in general. Really, this was a bang up job by the New York legislature to pour gas onto a smoldering fire.
I guess after Amazon pulled HQ2 out, they needed something to make up those 25,000 jobs. I never would have thought that creating an industry of illegal immigrant and gay teen prostitutes was the way they were going to do that.
I have hurt feelings this morning.
And I really do not give a shit.
This stupid idea that an organization’s mistakes means to have it disappear is asinine. I wonder how many of those who actually believe that line of bullshit own Ruger and Smith and Wesson firearms.
It took two or three years, ending with the Cincinnati Revolt to remove the old school NRA leadership. We are now in month what? Three? Four? I hope it gets solved fast and Wayne finally leaves, but I am realistic enough that it won’t (can’t) happen in a snap of the finger, specially with lawsuit back and forth.
Stop playing Bloomberg’s game and I will stop insulting you. It is that simple.
AOC’s feelz are not the law
I saw this Tweet from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1136329869783117824
I get it. It is the thesis of the Left that America is intrinsically a White Supremacist nation, and therefore it must go easy on violent White Supremacists and go extra hard on Muslim extremists.
The evidence for that is that violent White Supremacists are not “domestic terrorists” while Muslims are, and clearly, that is bigotry.
The clip in AOC’s Tweet is very selectively edited (a big shock) and a much less edited video is available below:
Congresswoman and Islamic Terrorist supporter, Rashida Tlaib, also got into this line of questioning.
Despite all her crying, both AOC and Tlaib don’t seem to know the law.
FBI Assistant Director of Counterterrorism Michael McGarrity, tired his best to explain the law. It is 18 U.S. Code § 2339 under 18 U.S. Code chapter 113 – Terrorism. Code § 2339 prohibits providing aid, training, support, or financial assistance to an international terrorist group. That is defined by 18 U.S. Code § 2331.
Simply put, “domestic terrorism” is a nice buzzword but it is not a criminal statute or something a person could be convicted of.
They can be charged with aiding an international terrorist organization.
The San Bernardino shooters and Pulse shooter both pledged allegiance to ISIS and the global Jihad movement, which made them supporters of an international terrorist organization.
Dylann Roof did not. And while AOC can postulate that White Supremacism is a global problem, it is not as organized as ISIS. Shit posters on 8Chan are not engaged in a multi-national money laundering operation to fund terrorism using means as diverse as selling oil from captured Iraqi wells to the ransom of cargo ships off the African coast.
Domestic terrorism is merely a classification the FBI uses in working an investigation.
AOC and Tlaib didn’t seem to get that the issue isn’t with the FBI it is with the legislature. In addition, the Legislature is held back by the Constitution.
The reason groups like the Ku Klux Klan is allowed to exists and can’t just be taken down by declaring them a “domestic terrorist organization” is the text of the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Right of Assembly allows groups like the Klan to exist. The challenge for law enforcement has been to sift through the Klan (and other groups like it) for the fraction of members that can be proven to have committed the crimes in the name of the Klan. Simply charging the entire clan as a group is unconstitutional. I’m also talking about the Klan in modern times (post 1950’s), not the Klan during Reconstruction.
The same prohibitions prevent mass arrests of Muslims at the “Terror Mosque” in New Jersey that has had a number of members radicalized.
That right does not belong to non-US citizens outside the borders of the United States.
Rather than try to understand this and try to figure out how to make new law to deal with the variety of threats this nation faces, AOC and Tlaib would rather just try and prove their thesis that America is a racist nation.
Also, reading between the lines, it seems like they want to FBI to go easier on Islamic extremists.
News Flash: Concealed Weapons Permits in the USA deemed a “hindrance” by Chest Thumpers.
The “I Hate The NRA” game reached new levels by people declaring that the greatest advancement in Gun Rights of the 20th Century and the beginning of the avalanche in our favor is a hindrance and unconstitutional.
The level of imbecile
The logic part of me is saying that we cannot have people this stupid within our movement. They have to be well-paid plants or trolls, but not this irrevocably ignorant gun owners moved to re-write history because it is cool to hate the NRA.
We were a nation with few states having any kind of carry. Whatever carry we had was May Issue and the issuance and laws changed within state from county to county. We are now a country where all 50 states have Concealed Carry which had led the way for 13 States to have Constitutional Carry and hopefully more in the way. Alongside with CWP, we have expanded Stand Your Ground, and Immunity From Prosecution, reinforced Castle Doctrine and even managed to get a couple of interestingly favorable cases in the Supreme Court to fall for the Second Amendment.
But no. That movement is bogus because the NRA did not get Constitutional Carry from day one.
What is next? To say that Gun Rights are valid only if you belong to a Militia?
Bette Middler Impeccable “Gardening.”
I saw her very strange tweet and I had butt in:
And then there is the little detail that anybody who actually does gardening in June, does not look that fresh and that clean. The frigging gloves are so brand new, the hand with the flowers looks strange and the other hand digging does not have a speck of dirt on the glove of the handle of the little spade.
