Crime and violence impact all parts of society and the community, and liberal, soft-on-crime policies excuse, tolerate, and encourage more crime and worse crime. The citizens of San Antonio need to understand this connection and act to address it. Here are some examples.
Crime & San Antonio’s Economy -
A small business in San Antonio’s near northwest side is closing and relocating because of high crime in the neighborhood. The culture of crime and violence affects the local economies and creates more poverty because businesses and jobs leave.
However, San Antonio’s liberal politicians and the local news media refuse to recognize the connection between crime and fleeing investments. They believe in the Marxist model that poverty comes from outside forces rather than from personal behavior.
Also, the George Soros-funded District Attorney in San Antonio has fueled the high crime with his soft and selective law enforcement. Criminals are not afraid of the police or being punished.
Liberal law enforcement policies lead to high crime, and it is no surprise that the liberal San Antonio leaders have caused a high crime wave.
The citizens and business leaders need to wake up and demand that criminals be punished. When you excuse, tolerate, and reward any crime, you get more and worse.
Public Safety & the San Antonio War on Police -
There was another deadly traffic wreck in San Antonio last night. The number of traffic deaths compliments the high homicide rate. The reason is simple. There is a shortage of San Antonio police officers and thus their lack of presence and visibility encourages traffic violations.
The SAPD traffic unit has less than half the officers it had a decade ago. There are some days when only 6 officers work all the highways in San Antonio.
The liberal/leftist SA mayor and city council refuse to acknowledge the lack of staff and low morale at the SAPD. Radical leftist community leaders and the local liberal news media contribute to the anti-police public attitude.
Sadly, the public safety of citizens suffers. The citizens and voters must speak up for the police and public safety.

Another Repeat Offender, Offends -
This is another example of George Soros-funded Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales releasing violent criminals who go free and commit more crimes. This man beat his girlfriend upon release. And the liberal women groups are silent about this matter.
What good does it do for San Antonio police to arrest a violent person if they are released under the guise of "bail reform" and "social justice"? The citizens must hold the D.A. accountable.
The citizens of San Antonio should understand that crime impacts the entire community, and liberal, soft-on-crime policies excuse, tolerate, and encourage more crime and worse crime.
