Brickbat: Persistence Is Key

Home invasions by criminals seeking to steal automobiles rose 400 percent last year, according to the Toronto Police Service, and one officer said there's an easy way for residents to protect themselves from such a crime. "To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door," said Const. Marco Ricciardi during a community meeting. "They're breaking into your home to steal your car. They don't want anything else." He further warned, "A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them and they're not toy guns, they're real guns. They're loaded." In a statement, the police service said it is concerned about "an escalation in violence" when weapons are used to steal autos. But it acknowledged there are other ways to reduce the chances of home invasion and auto theft, such as installing a security system and reporting suspicious people and vehicles.

How about keeping a firearm handy? Oh wait, government would rather armed criminals invade your home, threaten your family and steal your stuff than the family have a means to defend themselves.

[Vernon Depner]

They're just trying to insure the safety of criminals of color.

[markm23]

Or they're trying to increase their own chances of surviving and holding their power once the masses realize what their real goals are. One of the rules of thumbs I have learned for politics is that a politician that wants a disarmed populace is nasty in other ways.

It is Canada, so yes, that is quite literally their view.

Making it easy for criminals to take your car so as not to anger them is a great idea, but why stop there?

Why not leave any cash, credit cards, liquor, and jewelry items in the entryway as well? That way, you give them a quick and easy smash and grab, with much less risk they’ll track mud into the house with their shoes. Since some of these criminals might also be a tad rapey, female members of the household could hang around the foyer in lingerie. Look, these poor guys work hard to make a living without working hard, so how about all of us law-abiding squares do our part to ease their burden?

This is the Libertarian blindness on full display.
You can never be tough on crime,you always have to cloak your statements in PhD-level psychology argot. And you have to appear open-minded.

I've seen several great articles, videos lately pointing all this back to homosexuality, trans-ing, divorce and the decline of the family --- all of which ends in Fatherlessness, the mother (excuse the pun) of CRIME

"The benefits a child receives from his relationship with his father are notably different from those derived from his relationship with his mother. The father contributes a sense of paternal authority and discipline which is conveyed through his involved presence."

The additional benefits of his affection and attachment add to this primary benefit. Albert Bandura, professor of psychology at Stanford University, observed as early as 1959 that delinquents suffer from an absence of the father's affection

FINALLY the Biden cure that kills
=====================
Despite the grand myth that black economic progress began or accelerated with the passage of the civil rights laws and “war on poverty” programs of the 1960s, the cold fact is that the poverty rate among blacks fell from 87 percent in 1940 to 47 percent by 1960. This was before any of those programs began.

Over the next 20 years, the poverty rate among blacks fell another 18 percentage points, compared to the 40-point drop in the previous 20 years. This was the continuation of a previous economic trend, at a slower rate of progress, not the economic grand deliverance proclaimed by liberals and self-serving black “leaders.”

…..

Nearly a hundred years of the supposed “legacy of slavery” found most black children [78%] being raised in two-parent families in 1960. But thirty years after the liberal welfare state found the great majority of black children being raised by a single parent [66%].

So are you blaming this on libertarians, dead beat dads and black people? You kind of have a morality-blame-stew going there, but I didn't notice any proposed solutions.

Also, it's Canada. I'm pretty sure black people can't survive that far north.

Canada has plenty of "diversity" even without very dark skin colors: Metis, First Peoples, and more separatist immigrant groups than I can keep track of.

If someone steals your car, you can just go steal someone else's car. Think of it as a rideshare. #gogreen

[Vernon Depner]

You will own nothing and you will be happy. Now eat your cricket powder.

[Ben of Houston]

I have to agree. This is one step above Clayton William's "lie back and enjoy it"

[Fist of Etiquette]

"A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them and they're not toy guns, they're real guns. They're loaded."

I'll give them credit at least if they're actually arresting car thieves.

[Jerry B.]

Yeah. Before they determine that there's not enough evidence, or it's a first offense, or their family says they're really trying to get their life together, or they're a juvenile, or some other excuse, and let them go with a warning, parole, or community service.

Under Biden and ultra-asshole Beto O'Rourke gun sales have astronomically increased, even among traditional anti-gun cohorts. IF you don't know this, you are a person with a moral failing that prevents you from seeing reality.
I am not alluding to the 'broken windows' theory either. We got a gun a few weeks back and we are the last folks you would think to do such a thing but Biden just represents all the foolishness the world can take. And don't say Hunter was never the type to do such a thing.

[Longtobefree]

Well, learn how to properly care for the weapon, and practice a lot.

[Quicktown Brix]

moral failing

Poe's law tells me I've likely been suckered responding above.

[MWAocdoc]

You are very wise, Quicktown!

[Idaho-Bob]

They're breaking into your home to steal your car. They don't want anything else."

And how, pray tell, do you know that?!?

[MWAocdoc]

Constable Ricciardi just knows. It's his superpower. Take his word for it or the P.M. will lock your bank account and freeze your ass sets.

[Vernon Depner]

NO PRAYING!

[MWAocdoc]

They need to resurrect Murdock to investigate and uncover the evil criminal mastermind behind the home invasion car theft ring and bring her to justice! "Toronto Constabulary!! Open up!"
