Summit in Southeast DC calls on young people to help remedy juvenile crime​



As juvenile crime in the District continues to rise, the Ward 8 community in Southeast held a summit to engage young people in finding solutions on Sunday afternoon.

Held at the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC) on Mississippi Avenue, community leaders at the event spoke directly to young people about the importance of positive decision-making, being leaders, setting examples for their peers and encouraged kids to channel their energies into other arenas outside of crime — such as academics, sports and the arts.

Speakers included D.C.’s Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Lindsey Appiah, Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, and a handful of youth leaders, sports coaches and other community members.

Historic SF Luxury Department Store May Close Its Doors Over City Squalor​



One of my favorite movies is “Jaws.” In fact, it is the only movie I can quote from memory, and I can even recite the dialogue on the screen in real time. One of the stories about that film is that the massive mechanical shark would not function during filming. Richard Dreyfuss has talked about how radios would crackle all over Martha’s Vineyard with the words, “The shark is not working. Repeat, the shark is not working.”

It’s time for Californians to admit that the donkey is not working. Repeat, the donkey is not working.

Gump’s is a historic luxury department store in San Francisco. It refers to itself as a “Destination for Exceptional Taste.” And that is not an understatement. Picture frames can run as high as $525. A decorative nephrite jade double-ring link sells for $1,500. Lamps start at $275 and top out at $1,890 for a crystal icicle lamp. And then there is the jewelry. Gump’s offers necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches, and even hairpins.

Obviously, I cannot afford to shop there, and chances are neither can you. It’s called a luxury department store for a reason. But Gump’s has been a part of San Francisco for almost 166 years, and that may be coming to an end soon. Big deal, you may say. It’s a rich person’s store. That’s true, but if, after 166 years, Gump’s is considering shutting its doors, the city fathers/mothers/whatever they identify need to pay attention. It is a San Francisco landmark, and 166 years is a long time to be in business.

So where would they go? They need to be in a large city, preferably an international hub, in order to have the density of people rich/posh enough to shop in their store but also not be overrun with crime and filth. Maybe they could go to Canada, Montreal or Calgary.

Does it though? Because the majority voted for this and continue to vote for it. So actually it's "getting what you demanded". They move somewhere else to get away from the apocalyptic wasteland they created....then turn that place into a shithole. Shitholes follow these people and yet they're too stupid to realize why that's happening to them.

💉 It has come to this. San Fransisco is becoming such a crime-ridden hellhole that even the government is throwing in the towel. Just The News ran the very ironic story yesterday headlined, “* Workers at Nancy Pelosi Federal Building in San Francisco told to work from home due to crime.”

image 13.png

Welcome to 2023, where satirical websites like the Babylon Bee are forced to compete with real-life headlines that that one.

Earlier this month, officials at HHS advised hundreds of federal employees to work from home indefinitely rather than risk commuting to the downtown federal building, which has become a hotspot for street drug deals in recent months. There’s some kind of metaphor here, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Help is welcome in the comments.

“In light of the conditions at the (Federal Building) we recommend employees … maximize the use of telework for the foreseeable future,” HHS Assistant Secretary for Administration Cheryl Campbell wrote in an August 4th memo obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

If even the federal government is fleeing San Fransisco, what hope do the residents have? Get out while you can!

Ironically, the HHS memo reportedly was issued the very same day that Joe Biden called on his cabinet to “aggressively execute” plans for federal employees to return to their offices after working remotely since the COVID-19 pandemic first began. But not in San Fransisco, apparently.

So that’s the federal government’s plan to keep its employees safe. Evacuate San Fransisco.

Union Says Austin Police Dept Battling Crime Spike Hundreds Of Officers Short After ‘Defund The Police’​



“We’re moving in the wrong direction. There’s less and less resources to go out and do the job,” Villarreal told Fox News on Monday.

Detectives in Austin have been pulled away from their caseload to help answer 911 calls, and some sworn personnel have started answering emergency calls on an overtime basis, Villarreal said.

“Anecdotally, on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday night when things are hopping, it’s not unusual for there to be multiple people put on hold for eight, 10, 12 or more minutes before you even get a 911 call taker,” Villarreal said.

“And then if it’s that busy for the 911 call takers, then with limited resources working the streets, it’s at times hours before officers are getting to some calls, especially the lower priority ones,” he said.

[clip]

In 2020, Austin’s city council voted to slash the police department’s budget by $150 million, more than a third.

Instead, the defund proposal said the saved money would be reallocated to a “Reimagine Safety Fund,” violence prevention, mental health, permanent supportive housing, food access, abortion, and an early childhood coordinator position.

Oh, I like that one. It's not dangerous here, you just need to reimagine your definition of safety. Like the "reimagining" of Fast Times at Rigmont High, Austin's reimagined safety is gonna suck, and have too much Matthew McConaughey.
