CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST10, 2023
YESTERDAY’S COMMENTARY WAS ABOUT NEW YORK CITY AND HOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE TAKING OVER AND ABOUT TO LIVE IN PARKS.
TODAY THE SUBJECT IS WASHINGTON, D.C. A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WANTS THE NATIONAL GUARD TO BE CALLED OUT TO CONTROL THE STREETS.
DEMOCRAT TRAYON WHITE SAYS, “WE HAVE YOUNG MEN WANDERING THE STREETS WITH AK47S, LETTING OFF 60, 90, UP TO 100 ROUNDS – DAILY.”
THERE HAVE BEEN 161 HOMICIDES THIS YEAR IN D.C., A 28 PERCENT INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR. VIOLENT CRIME IS UP 37 PERCENT AND SEXUAL ASSAULTS, ROBBERIES, ASSAULTS WITH A DANGEROUS WEAPON AND CARJACKINGS HAVE ALSO INCREASED.
WE’VE SEEN ALL THIS FOR YEARS. THE SOLUTIONS AREN’T THAT DIFFICULT. START BY ELECTING REPUBLICANS WHO WILL BE TOUGH ON CRIME. THEN PUT FATHERS BACK IN THE HOME. MAKE CHURCH ATTENDANCE MANDATORY IF ONE IS ON PAROLE. GIVE THE KIDS SCHOOL CHOICE SO THEY CAN ESCAPE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MOVE VIOLENT GANG MEMBERS TO OTHER PLACES AND GIVE THEM OVER TO CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES.
DOING THESE THINGS MIGHT NOT SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS OF WASHINGTON, BUT IT WOULD BE A START. WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW WON’T BE FIXED BY THE NATIONAL GUARD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
