As bad as things are in Portland or San Francisco the progress is even worse in Bernie Sanderโs hometown:
Like small businesses dealing with belligerent customers, or retailers locking up detergent, makeup and other items popular with shoplifters, the bike recovery group has found itself on the front lines of a debate about crime and policing that is confounding many American cities. . .
โIt has been traumatizing,โ said Ms. Williams, โto watch the city kind of fall apart before your eyes.โ . . .
In recent years, a new generation of leaders emerged. Many younger candidates have run for the City Council as members of the Progressive party โ and won seats. . . . The Progressives on the Council tend to be left leaning on many issues and often at odds with the cityโs Democratic mayor. And in June 2020, the Progressive members of the Council successfully sponsored a measure that sought to reduce the size of the cityโs police force by about 30 percent. . . .
One morning in June, Ms. Williams awoke to find that one of her bikes had been stolen from outside her downtown condominium. . . .
In the morning, she called the police, eager to share her GPS data and ideas about the thefts. According to Ms. Williams, an officer was willing to retrieve the bike from the park, but that was the extent of it.
As Ms. Williams tagged along, the officer walked up to a group of people standing next to the bike and asked whether it belonged to anyone.
โNope,โ one of the people said.
โPerfect,โ Ms. Williams remembered the officer saying.
Ms. Williams got the bike back, but the officer said staffing cuts in the department made it difficult to pursue minor crimes like bike theft.
Ms. Williams said the officer โdidnโt have time for any of it.โ . . .
The police say making arrests for bike thefts could be challenging. They cite a memo from the local prosecutor which stipulates that, according to Vermont law, in order to effectively prosecute someone the police must prove the person โactually knewโ the property was stolen.
City Hardware, across from City Hall Park, now requires customers to check their bags at the front of the store. . .

On another note:
That guyโs going to be facing charges I bet.
More likelyโฆthe city just neglects to renew his business license.

If a 30% cut in police has increased crime, obviously the answer is more cuts in the police force.
Sometimes its hard to understand how these people think.
Thatโs HIS spot!

I donโt know if this is realistic yet but it seems to be becoming possible?
Iโm hoping the radio weather woman misspoke when she said 80-100 FEET of snow are headed to California.
I blame California and the Sierra Club for micromanaging the environment so poorly that nothing is growing enough to absorb that runoff or hold the soil in place.

At least those guys werenโt total ass wipes about breaking into cars and hit them through the windows. 
Iโve had fucknuts pry open my door by the window frame, pop a screwdriver through my door lock, and slice a convertible top.
