Didn't California just experiment with something similar and had to pull back on it?
Zohran Mamdani wants to end all misdemeanor charges: ‘E-ZPass for criminals’
There is always law - it's just a matter of whose law will be paramount. Crime, in it's own way, is the imposition of law by evil men through the use of power. Even if it is only an autocracy of one. Stop enforcing criminal law and the criminals will enforce their own version of it.
A lawless society is terrible and usually is followed by a dictatorship.
FTA:
In its most recent platform, the group blasts policing and detention as "instruments of class war” designed to "guarantee the domination of the working class” — and demands an end what it calls "the criminalization of working-class survival.”
"For all of the working class to achieve collective liberation we must constrain, diminish, and abolish the carceral forces of the state — from prisons and police themselves, to their manifestations in all forms throughout society,” according to the national party’s latest platform, adopted in 2021.
On the campaign trail, Mamdani has repeatedly called for police to stop focusing on what he’s referred to as "non serious crimes.”
"Police have a critical role to play but right now we’re relying on them to deal with the failures of our social safety net, which is preventing them from doing their actual jobs,” he said in a campaign video posted to X Wednesday.
No, the social safety net has failed and that is because people like Mamdani had never intended it to even do what they claim they want it to do. The problem is we have created a whole generational underclass (what sociologists refer to as "generational poverty") who have long been taught not to serve their fellow man and thus succeed in life but rather to take what is not theirs. Theft and poverty walk hand-in-hand and that poverty is there because people like Mamdani seek to create a dependent culture bereft of hope. So the poor cannot even count on a stable situation from which to dig out. And he blames that on American free markets, which has made our poor the richest poor in the world and actually most of our poor live better than the more well-to-do in many places. Most poor have heat, air conditioning, refrigerators, running water televisions, cars, computers. They can access free health care just by going to the emergency room. They have had the option to learn to read and write.
By stopping the enforcement of misdemeanors you would create an increasingly lawless atmosphere. Rudy Giulliani proved that when he took over a chaotic, crime riddled city and made it flourish. It flourished because he didn't just go after the big criminals but after the scofflaws and petty crooks and made the social atmosphere tolerable so people could improve their lives.
All this will do is "rub raw the sores of discontent" as Saul Alinski admonished, and I am sure Mamdani has read his Alinski.
Mamdani says:
So, if I go up to him and punch him in the snout was that an "artificial construct"? Think I wouldn't be prosecuted and put in jail for doing this? Itt's just government defining my actions, not what I actually did.
I would never do it of course but he makes the fanttasy come alive....
