Leader of anti-police group wants no prison time for murder, burglars to clean homes as punishment
This is truly a lesson in the absolute insanity of Woke ideology…which, in and of itself, is habitually devoid of any Constitutional anchor while simultaneously being chronically contradictory…aka megalomaniacal, Lilliputian-brained liberals.
“Despite the city (Austin TX) setting a record for homicides in 2021 after dramatically cutting its police budget and 911 response times climbing to hours even for serious crimes, Chas Moore, head of the Austin Justice Coalition (AJC), believes police and prisons should be abolished.”
Fine, fine, fine…defund the police to your heart’s content. Let the idiot citizens who elect pandering politicians to “govern” these Bedlams (aka municipalities) live with the consequences of their actions.
Yet, and this is habitual with many children, once the crap hits the fan they come running to mommy (the sane crowd) for a bailout.
As a result of prodding from Moore, the AJC and insane voters, “anti-cop sentiment in the city…led to a wave of resignations leaving the city facing a shortage of 358 officers.”…aka people with no personal liability for their bright-bulb policies waltz a municipality to the precipice.
Predictably (for anyone with an IQ higher than the temperature of warm toast) the crime rate rises and emergency response times dangerously falter…aka the shit hitting the fan.
And, predictably:
“Mayor Kirk Watson announced last week he had asked for the DPS to send (state) troopers to help the Austin Police Department, due to its lack of officers….”…aka Mommy come bail me out!
But it gets even better…AJC leader Chas Moore, a convicted felon himself, doubles down on the insanity and calls for the abolition of all incarceration…even for murder.
“ ’I believe that we can get to a world where we don’t have police and where we don’t have prisons,’ said the activist — whose grip on Austin officials is so strong, they declared Oct. 22 ‘Chas Moore Day’ last year. ‘Someone breaks into my home; I call the police, and then what?” he asked…‘Let’s work out a deal to where I … would actually say instead of sending her to jail, let’s say she pays me back by cleaning my house for the next six weeks’ ” (added bold)
We have finally arrived at the intersection of Constitutionally devoid and contradictory.
With the grandiose ignorance and incongruence of the self-righteous, Moore is calling for the return of state-sponsored indentured servitude…probably without realizing or caring that he is in direct conflict with the spirit of the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery.
In fact, Moore’s call to reintroduce indentured servitude is diametrically opposed to the very active position of The Legal Defense Fund (LDF) which bills itself as “America’s premier legal organization fighting for racial justice.”.
The LDF is a fervent supporter of The Abolition Amendment which is a Juneteenth reintroduced “…joint resolution currently before the Senate Judiciary Committee, (which) proposes amending the U.S. Constitution to include an article reading, ‘[n]either slavery nor indentured servitude may be imposed as a punishment for a crime’ “.
Even though one would be hard-pressed to find an instance were a US court sentenced a guilty party to indentured servitude, the wording of the 13th includes, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime…shall exist within the United States….”.
The LDF’s goal with The Abolition Amendment is to delete the involuntary servitude language from the 13th and to prohibit mandatory prison work as well as to have voluntary prison labor compensated at market rates.
From shutting down free speech across the United States to the reintroduction of indentured servitude, Wokeism is a catch-as-catch-can belief system of totalitarian convenience with no regard for Constitutional or basic human rights…aka civilization be damned, I want what I want when I want it with no regard for the rights of others.
The L'enfant terrible class of Moore et al display the symptoms consistent with a critical case of cognitive dissonance.
