Would like to provide input , which was
offered to congress last year for school safety program and to State Representative.
Just a rehash of his DC stance which ended up with no action. We don’t need to run our state in the same manner as as Congress. We will never get anywhere with that attitude.
This is such a bald faced attack on Mears, who chooses to not waste prosecutorial and judicial resources on small marijuana possession charges. We don’t have the jail space to jail them, the prosecutors to prosecute them, or the courts to hear the cases. If Braun and the Republicans want that done, then fund it.
But also required prosecutors to prosecute and courts to have trial for Republican legislators who drive intoxicated, and Republican judges who drive intoxicated or under the influence of drugs to their son’s home to “supervise” police officers who come to oversee an ex-wife’s removal of property from the marital home. Or Republican court masters who are arrested and plead guilty to out of state drunk driving charges with their children in the car but keep that information from the Disciplinary Commission which would certainly suspend their legal licenses.
So, yeah, fellow taxpayers, prepare for a whole lot of new courtrooms and judges and staffing expense to prosecute everything…
I’d take Republican efforts to remove “useless” prosecutors more seriously if they would start with the state attorney general first …
Few people deserve a “bald face attack” more than the ideologically motivated, willfully incompetent Mears. And that’s saying something, given that Rokita is indeed a buffoon.
I mean, if I were an absolute 100% partisan ideologue like Tim or Joe and believed every word the legacy media excreted (Indy Star, Chalkbeat, Capital Chronicle, and that new joke Mirror Indy), then I’d believe that the problem is stretched resources and that this lack of resources means we should have a pick-and-choose approach to prosecution. Like this will somehow deter crime better than simply meaning what you say and actually enforcing the laws. Just be kind to the criminals and their hearts will turn cartwheels. Yes, we’re seeing how that plays out.
But since their bigger problem is more about certain Republicans they REALLY don’t like not getting the sentences they feel they deserve (they want everyone to get the trump treatment for being anti-establishment) and less about the overwhelming increase in crime these last few years due to the ineptitude and corruption of establishment scum like Mears, they deserve every homicide they get. I mean, if resources are so stretched, is the best use of that money to aggressively pursue a single slimebag GOP politician? I mean, sure, let the law run its course but throw the book at someone for an out-of-state drunk driving charge? When homicide rates linger around their all-time high?
Utterly predictable. Like every other authoritarian regime in history, they want to punish political dissidents more than go after actual crimes. Because, in authoritarian regimes, political opposition is THE one true crime.
This is why the murder rate is so deliciously satisfying. Leftists are more authoritarian and violent per their nature. As has been the case for the last 60+ years, it’s leftists killing other leftists in our cold Civil War, getting hoisted by their own petards through the rampant urban dysfunction that they permit in their tiny little cesspool fiefdoms. Keep it coming. Every dead leftist makes for a more honest society.
Lauren, I missed where the Republicans wanting everything to be prosecuted are willing to pay for more prosecutors, more courts, more judges, and more jails.
Oh yeah, they’re not. Because they’re not actually interested in reducing crime. They’re just interested in a wedge issue that they can use to convince suckers they care about Indianapolis. Because if it comes down to spending one more cent, they lost interest.
Ryan Mears was an eminently beatable prosecutor. Marion County Republicans ran a terrible campaign devoid of solutions and deserved the beating they got.
Braun was a proud outsider when he ran for and was elected to the Senate in 2018. It is amazing how quickly that outsider has absorbed all of the features of a long time DC insider. He is a quick study, I guess.
Blah blah blah. And Trump endorsed.
Could you imagine teachers starting salary of $70,000?
it is really closer to 125k when you include the pension, fully paid insurance, leave time, etc.
Being a police officer certainly is not easy, but is it worth paying someone 3x the average salary of the city?
Not an easy proposition when more and more people are seeing the shambles that public schools are in and homeschooling is growing astronomically.
Despicable.
