Blue cities run by blue leadership for generations. Own it.

Who's not owning what? I was responding to a prior poster who claimed that the governors are the ones who should have the responsibility. The reality is that it's a shared burden - the leadership of the state and the leadership of the communities. But, because the leadership of the states for these communities is mostly republican, that doesn't quite align with your argument, I suppose, so you dismiss it.

Blame game..

DeWine is Gov of OH. Mayors of Cbus, Cleveland, Cincy and Toledo all Dems so only their fault.

Exactly. Remember the Flint, MI lead pipe problem? The MO is to find the politician of the opposite party that's closest to the problem and find a way to blame them.

All the focus is on the negative, specifically blame and damaging opponents. What does that ever solve?
 
Here's a crazy idea. Maybe look at the conditions that allow crime to fester instead of just blindly looking at the letter after the name.

NYC cleaned up and reduced crime largely because of the Broken Windows policy. It wouldn't have made a lick of difference who put it in place, just as long as they did.
Kinda hard to not notice the letter next to the mayor who actually go it done IMO.

Blame is the game that must win out, else leadership would actually have to provide results. Amazing how many will cut off their nose and accept the negative consequences just to be on the 'winning team'.
 
Talk to cops and see why crime in the cities is what it is. Because D leadership in the cities doesnt punish crime.

Governors do not control city council, or DAs, or mayors, or judges.

It is not a shared responsibility in the cities. It falls squarely on one party.


Here is a challenge. Find a R led city council, R led mayor, R DAs and show me a high murder rate.
 
If its a shares responsibility then let the governor place national guard in the cities to stop the violence.

Bet you dont like that idea

Can dewine force the mayors to crack down on violence? Can dewine force the DAs to prosecute? How about force judges to give longer sentences for violent crime?

Did Rs propose defunding police?

There is only 1 party that is soft on crime.

Well, he could pull a DeSantis and suspend SAs

Oh yeah, DeWine is a RINO

Have any of the state attorney publicly declared their refusal to prosecute?

I'm mixed on the DeSantis move because all politics is local, but likewise, if we're going to have rule of law, then it has to be that way.

Would be interesting to find out with all the changes here with abortion and guns

Cuyahoga, Franklin, Hamilton and Lucas would be the counties to research

Here's the thing. If it's the law, it needs to be enforced. Not selectively, not only if you agree with it. This is one of the problems I see with all the kerfuffle over Roe. People want what they want and would gladly vote for the end of our form of government if they thought the dictator would give it to them. They just don't see past the nose on their face. There's no way these things would ever be used against me.
 
I’m trying to clean up my act. :).

You said it’s not the red states, it’s not the governors. Well, most of those are republicans. Where will you move the goal posts to next? If you want to blame local crime on local politicians? Fine, have at it but you were the one that said (paraphrasing) that the buck stops with the governor. Hence my post.

You’re too smart to actually believe what you’re posting
