Re: Dallas Security Guard Shot & Killed by Car Burglar at Preston Center Plaza
You are the one who has it backwards. Since the end of Title 42 and Biden's new restrictions, they are reporting the "Vast waves of predicted illegals are down by about 50% right now." But at least you are safe from trans drag shows! I realize that is Texas biggest problem right now. |

Re: Dallas Security Guard Shot & Killed by Car Burglar at Preston Center Plaza
almost all crimes went down since 1991 and years before very high for Texas and the U.S. It was high rising between '85 and '91. https://www.macrotrends.net/states/t...ate-statistics https://www.whitehousehistory.org/th...dents-timeline |

Re: Dallas Security Guard Shot & Killed by Car Burglar at Preston Center Plaza
Despite what the headlines would have one believe, the governor and the lunatic far right don't run Dallas, or really much of anything, Texas has a weak governor form of state government and a legislature that only meets every other year. Like every other city in Texas the local government is quite liberal and overwhelmingly democrat. Back when Republicans at least claimed to be pro democracy, if they wanted more control over a city they would have fielded better candidates and run for local office. Now that republicans no longer feel the need to hide their disdain for democracy or deny their desire to turn america into a fascist country, Abbott and other republican fascists within the state gov't in Austin are attempting to use the state legislature to simply wrest local control from local governments and give it to the state while also making it illegal for cities to make laws to address local issues like minimum wage and pollution controls and anything else the governor deems objectionable. But for now at least, the power hungry anti democracy republicans haven't seized control of local governments...yet. As far as crime goes, like most cities, the Crime rate in Dallas remains near historic lows, people who claim crime is bad now simply don't remember the late 80's and early 90's. In 1991 Dallas had 500 murders. In the ten years I lived there, 2008-2018, that number never broke 200, despite Dallas having over 300,000 more residents than in 1991. I've never felt in danger in dallas in the last 25 years, the early 90's were a whole different world lol

Re: Dallas Security Guard Shot & Killed by Car Burglar at Preston Center Plaza
Instead of just being eager to prove you can repeat nonsense fed to you by right wing media, maybe stop and think for a second. Every city in Texas is controlled by democrats, and statewide texas has more registered democratic voters than the state of new york. California has more registered republicans than Texas. As long as there are americans so eagerly gullible they'll repeat obvious idiocy like the idea that there are "trash states" in your own fucking country just because you heard trump or Tucker calrson or steve bannon say it, the longer this country will remain mired in its own stupidity instead of leading with ideals and aspirations that used to be admired around the world. The only people who see the world in terms of political party are those who benefit from keeping america divided and weak, the faster republicans pull their heads out of their ass and stop attacking their own country the better off everyone will be

Re: Dallas Security Guard Shot & Killed by Car Burglar at Preston Center Plaza
Where would you get your thoughts if right wing media went away? Obama's agenda of hate? What are you talking about? The republicans fought every single thing he did for eight years, yet despite their efforts Obamacare reduced the number of uninsured americans by almost 30 million people despite republicans efforts to undo or destroy it. Conservative gun nuts caused a nationwide ammunition shortage and price spike that continues to this day when they went on a hoarding binge over their paranoia about obama taking their guns, even though he never mentioned it or introduced any legislation pertaining to any sort of gun control. Obama was the best president in the last 50 years, the economy exploded after he bailed out the banks and the auto industry and the housing industry after republicans drove the entire economy into the ditch under bush. What hate are you talking about other than republican's cynical stoking of racial tensions among their gullible base of bigots?

Re: Dallas Security Guard Shot & Killed by Car Burglar at Preston Center Plaza
WOW, bag1980 I must have hit a nerve for you to respond so incoherently with verbal violence. I'm proud to say I've lived in San Francisco since 2000. Yeah, it's bad here. It's bad everywhere. It's bad in New Mexico, it's bad in Texas, it's bad in Louisiana, Alabama, Wisconsin, Georgia, Flordia, North Carolina, New York, Washington state, it's bad all over America. The demographics are changing all over the country. People are fleeing red states, blue states, all the states. They're fleeing from one state to another state that's not any better than the state they were fleeing from. I've never experienced any violence in San Francisco or Texas or anywhere for that matter. I practice a keen sense of situational awareness and I've learned to identify and walk away from any situation where I see a fool acting stupid and doing stupid things. There's no reason why I'd want to insert myself into any situation or involve myself in something that I have no part in. Unfortunately, I see fools making fools of themselves while doing stupid things and saying stupid things that draw attention to themselves and ending up suffering the consequences of their poor judgment. Blaming politicians or any specific political party doesn't solve any of society's issues. Truthfully, I could careless who uses whose restrooms. I do not base my life on the actions of others or who they are or which restroom they happen to use. There's nothing for me to gain by being involved in restroom issues. I hope you can find some measure of peace within. Maybe then, you can rise above and live a full and satisfying life. Life is too short to be upset about who uses which restroom. |

The real issues are homelessness, hunger, drug use, violence. Thank you William May for stepping up and backing me up. |

Re: Dallas Security Guard Shot & Killed by Car Burglar at Preston Center Plaza
Why are you so angry? Does referencing me as "Bryngirl" solve your issues about the way you view society's ills? Calling me names may temporarily release your anger but it's not going to solve your on going personal issues in the long run. You'll still be angry and you'll find someone else who will be the object of your projection of yourself. Dude, get a grip on your emotions. You no more have the answers than anyone else. If anything, your disposition will shorten your life span. Once you gone, you'll never know if you could have made a difference in the world you live in or not. |
