Call Me Stormy

Meanwhile In D.C.

Washington DC, the nation’s capital, has a horrendous carjacking problem. Instead of tackling the problem head-on, and putting car thieves behind bars, Mayor Muriel Bowser is playing a game of make-believe. She’s announced a new program supported by Kia and Hyundai to supply free steering wheel locks to residents who own those brands of cars.

Sounds identical to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s approach to solving a range of burglaries afflicting street vendors. She’s proposing they carry no cash, and only accept credit card payments for the foods and goods they sell. Once again, Lightfoot refuses to get tough and swat down the thieves. When you cut to the chase, it’s the lack of effective police enforcement that’s aggravating rampant and excessive crime in the Windy City.

Here, The Liberal Hivemind explores the many Democratic cesspools where leftist mayors, and occasionally even governors, spend more time appeasing crooks than constituents. In contrast, we see Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attracting cops from these failed cities to relocate to Florida and battle crime.
