Soros runs 0 cities.
Maybe not directly but he paid for the pro-crime DA's. He is largely responsible for the chaos in many of America's large cities: NYC, LA, Minneapolis, Atlanta, etc.
No. Criminals ate responsible for crime, not George Soros.
You've said a lot of really irresponsible things here. This is another one of them.
For instance, as a young man in Hungary Soros became a Nazi collaborator. In a "60 Minutes" interview, Soros admitted that he helped confiscate property from Jews. He told Steve Kroft that he never regretted doing so. When asked if this was difficult, Soros said, "Not, not at all. Not at all." Stunned, Kroft said, "No feeling of guilt?" "No" came the reply.
That is the person you are speaking of.
I've got a lot more about Soros, if you really want to know who you are hero worshipping.
How am I worshipping him? You need to learn to read. Anybody can sit on a keyboard.
You are the one that said Soros had no hand in the crime in cities. I explained to you AT LENGTH, how you were wrong, let me reiterate: Soros's initial evaluation was that American chief prosecutors were almost completely unconstrained in their ability to decide not to prosecute cases. When a prosecutor charges a defendant with a crime, the U.S. Constitution and rules of criminal procedure establish a series of checks and balances that act to constrain the powers of the prosecutor (for example, indictment or preliminary-hearing requirements, the exclusionary rule for illegally obtained evidence, appeals, and so on). But virtually no limitations existed on decisions not to prosecute a defendant, regardless of the facts or the law.
While prosecutors traditionally exercised this discretion on a narrow, case-by-case basis, no apparent legal reason prevented Soros-backed prosecutors from declining to charge entire categories of crimes. Soros was correct in his assessment of the negative discretion of chief prosecutors. Indeed, he was almost a decade ahead of the general public in recognizing this potent de-prosecution tool.
The political world is now trying to catch up by establishing some guardrails for prosecutorial decisionmaking.
Soros's publicly stated premise was that the de-prosecution and decarceration reforms ushered in by his prosecutors would not degrade but in fact improve safety in American cities. That belief was a major miscalculation.
It was at the height of his influence that the errors in Soros's reasoning began to appear. Soros's publicly stated premise was that the de-prosecution and decarceration reforms ushered in by his prosecutors would not degrade but in fact
improve safety in American cities. That belief was a major miscalculation. In poor cities, homicides have spiked, including the largest single-year
increase in American history in 2020, continued escalation in 2021, and lingering high rates of murder clustered in cities with progressive prosecutors even after the end of Covid restrictions. (Apologists who blame Covid for homicide increases should note that murders were rising in cities with progressive prosecutors before the pandemic hit.) In wealthy cities with Soros-backed prosecutors, like San Francisco and Austin,
property crimes rose dramatically. Once-idyllic cities like Portland, now under the jurisdiction of Soros-backed chief prosecutor
Mike Schmidt, have suffered from rising violent crime and property crime. Several progressive American cities, including Baltimore, Chicago, Boston, and
Philadelphia experienced mass shootings during Fourth of July celebrations. Cities under the influence of Soros-backed prosecutors are less safe than a decade ago. The promise of increased safety was an illusion.
Soros also premised his experiment in criminal justice on the belief that his preferred reforms would benefit minorities and disadvantaged people in American cities. However, the
main victims of the rising homicide rates have been black Americans. Moreover, as businesses have
fled increasingly
lawless urban centers, the remaining residents have lost both their jobs and their local businesses.
Soros's final error was in betting that his prosecutors would bring about permanent changes in the role of district attorneys. Instead, it now appears that the reality of crime in American cities has limited the shelf life of Soros-backed prosecutors generally to about two elected terms in office. Kim Foxx in Chicago has announced that she will not stand for reelection. Kimberly Gardner in St. Louis resigned. San Francisco voters recalled Chesa Boudin after less than one term. In Los Angeles, George Gascn would have been recalled if the organizers of that effort had paid attention to the technical requirements. Marilyn Mosby lost a primary election in Baltimore. Boston's Rachel Rollins "fell upward" into an appointment as a United States Attorney for the Biden administration but then quickly resigned amid an ethics investigation. Aramis Ayala in Orlando declined to seek reelection. Tori Salazar in Stockton got knocked off in a primary. Tampa's Andrew Warren was removed by Florida governor Ron DeSantis. More than a dozen Soros-backed prosecutors have been defeated, resigned, or otherwise removed from office in the past
few years.
