Lawlessness plagues big cities run by Democrats

Protests and financial issues in cities like Chicago and Los Angeles have led to questions about good leadership in blue states and cities.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the increasing lawlessness in major U.S. cities, attributing it to progressive policies and a lack of effective law enforcement. It highlights incidents in cities like Chicago, New York, and San Francisco, where crime rates have surged, and public safety has deteriorated. The piece argues that progressive district attorneys, who are often backed by billionaire George Soros, have been too lenient on criminals, leading to a rise in offenses ranging from shoplifting to violent crimes. It also mentions the impact of these policies on businesses, with many retailers closing stores due to rampant theft. The article suggests that without a change in approach, the situation will continue to worsen, affecting the quality of life and economic stability of these urban areas.
