Trump's deportation goons are inspiring copycat criminals and creating public disorder


Delaware State Police are offering the community safety tips after a man was robbed by two armed, masked men wearing vests labeled "ICE" in Milton on June 28.

Their investigation found the man was traveling on Burton Road, in the area of Sand Hill Road, when a vehicle flashed red and white lights behind him, police said in a news release. The man pulled over and was removed from his vehicle by a person armed with a knife, while the other person pointed a firearm at him, police said.

The suspect with the knife "poked the weapon into the victim's side," police said, and took his wallet. One of the suspects punched the victim in the face before both of them fled with an undisclosed amount of money, according to police.

Fact: property crime and violent crime in the US are still close to historic lows

Don't ask how Baltimore did it, you won't like the answer


This April, Baltimore saw five homicides. That is the fewest of any month since 1970 (https://www.wypr.org/wypr-news/2025-05-01/baltimore-city-hits-new-record-in-homicides-drop), when the city began tracking monthly homicide numbers. In the first six months of the year, homicides were down 22% compared to 2024 (https://www.baltimorepolice.org/news/baltimore-police-department-releases-2025-mid-year-crime-report-and-key-highlights), and non-fatal shootings were down 19%. This is the latest in a string of historic declines in violent crime. In 2024, homicides dropped 23% (https://www.baltimorepolice.org/news/baltimore-police-department-releases-2024-year-end-crime-report-and-key-highlights) from 2023 numbers, and non-fatal shootings dropped 34%. In 2023, the city also saw record-breaking decreases.https://popular.info/p/the-secret-to-baltimores-extraordinary

according to the FBI, crime was way down in the USA last year


An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent (https://news.gallup.com/poll/652763/smaller-majorities-say-crime-serious-increasing.aspx), believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year. An overwhelming majority of Americans are wrong.

On Tuesday, August 5, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released its comprehensive report (https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-releases-2024-reported-crimes-in-the-nation-statistics)on crime in the United States for 2024. As crime data expert Jeff Asher noted (https://jasher.substack.com/p/murder-officially-plunged-in-2024), not only did the report reveal that overall crime was down substantially in 2024, but crime "fell in 2024 across every category and population group." Specifically, it "was down in all seven categories of crime across all 10 population groups that the FBI measures."

Moreover, the new FBI data shows that both violent crime and property crime are at their lowest level since the 1960s. In 2024, there were about 349 reported violent crimes in the United States for every 100,000 Americans. That is the lowest rate of violent crime since 1969.

In the early 1990s, there were over 750 reported violent crimes for every 100,000 Americans. As the population has increased in the last 30 years, the raw number of violent crimes has decreased. In 1992, for example, there were 747,000 more reported violent crimes in America than there were in 2024 — even though America had 84 million fewer people in 1992.

Similarly, in 2024, there were 1,760 reported property crimes for every 100,000 Americans. That is the lowest rate of property crimes since 1961.

The murder rate also plummeted 14.9 percent in 2024, which is "the fastest drop in murder ever recorded (https://jasher.substack.com/p/murder-officially-plunged-in-2024)." After spiking during the pandemic, the murder rate in the United States is now below pre-pandemic levels. The current murder rate of five per 100,000 Americans was last achieved in 2015. It is about 50 percent lower than the peak in the early 1980s.

The FBI report is major news about the historic decline of crime in America. But, for some media outlets, it was barely worth mentioning.

normalizing domestic military crackdowns seems to be the policy

[Winehole23]

A senior law enforcement official told NBC News that an initial federal effort this weekend was chaotic. As many as 120 FBI agents, mostly from the FBI Washington Field Office, worked shifts with the Metropolitan Police Department this weekend, the official said. But agents were confused about their exact role on the streets and whom they reported to at any given time.

A second federal official said that confusion continued on Monday. "No one knows who is in charge or what they're supposed to do," the official said.


Unmarked federal law enforcement vehicles are trailing patrol cars in Washington to provide support if needed, another federal official said. Some agents dismissed such efforts a waste of resources, with one jokingly calling the processions "a federal funeral."

According to retired police chief Art Acevedo, who served in Austin, Miami and Houston, "Not only is it unprecedented, it’s unwarranted. There’s no reason for it other than the political optics sought by the administration to pretend that crime is out of control and they are the saviors.”https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/no-one-knows-whos-in-charge-in-dc-as-agents-joke-about-a-federal-funeral-report/ar-AA1KoeeX

“We're on pace for another 200 homicide year,” said Pemberton, who mentioned that DC hit its 100th homicide of the year on Monday. “Anyone who thinks that it's acceptable to have 200 people murdered in a city the size of the District of Columbia is obviously out of their mind. If the District of Columbia were to be made a state today, it would be the most violent state in the nation by a long shot.”

DC police commander suspended, accused of changing crime statistics

“When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense,” Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Gregg Pemberton said. “So, instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification.”

The police department's command staff is focusing on two categories in order to get the numbers to fall, Pemberton said: armed with a dangerous weapon and injured person to the hospital.

“When management officials are directing officers to take reports for felony assault, or if they're going back into police databases and changing offenses to felony assault, felony assault is not a category of crime that's listed on the department's daily crime stats,” Pemberton said. “It's also not something that's a requirement of the FBI's uniform crime reporting program. So, by changing criminal offenses from, for example, ADW bat or ADW gun to felony assault, that would avoid both the MPD and the FBI from reporting that as a part one or a felony offense.”

The union has been gathering evidence for some time now by looking at reports and talking with officers all over the city, Pemberton said.

“What we've heard through our members and through members of management that were willing to talk with the union is that this is a directive from the command staff, is that they wanna make sure that these classifications of these reports are adjusted over time to make sure that the overall crime stats stay down,” Pemberton said. “And this is deliberately done.”

DC police commander suspended, accused of changing crime statistics

“When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense,” Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Gregg Pemberton said. “So, instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification.”

The police department's command staff is focusing on two categories in order to get the numbers to fall, Pemberton said: armed with a dangerous weapon and injured person to the hospital.

“When management officials are directing officers to take reports for felony assault, or if they're going back into police databases and changing offenses to felony assault, felony assault is not a category of crime that's listed on the department's daily crime stats,” Pemberton said. “It's also not something that's a requirement of the FBI's uniform crime reporting program. So, by changing criminal offenses from, for example, ADW bat or ADW gun to felony assault, that would avoid both the MPD and the FBI from reporting that as a part one or a felony offense.”

The union has been gathering evidence for some time now by looking at reports and talking with officers all over the city, Pemberton said.

“What we've heard through our members and through members of management that were willing to talk with the union is that this is a directive from the command staff, is that they wanna make sure that these classifications of these reports are adjusted over time to make sure that the overall crime stats stay down,” Pemberton said. “And this is deliberately done.”

A judge released 37-year-old Sean Dunn — a former Department of Justice employee — on his own recognizance, despite prosecutors pushing for serious felony assault charges that could carry up to eight years in prison.

Prosecutors say video posted to Instagram shows the incident Sunday night near 14th and U Street NW. Court documents allege Dunn verbally confronted federal officers before tossing his sandwich at one officer from close range.

Police say Dunn admitted to the act, telling officers, “I did it. I threw the sandwich.”

He first appeared in the D.C. Superior Court on Monday, where a judge released him. But two days later, prosecutors obtained a new arrest warrant — this time in federal court. Dunn’s attorney says he tried to turn himself in, but instead, 20 officers came to his home to arrest him.

In court, the defense revealed Dunn served in the U.S. Air Force and had worked for the DOJ before being fired after the incident. His attorney argued no one was injured, calling the felony charge excessive.https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/dc/dc-man-faces-serious-federal-assault-charge-after-throwing-subway-sub-at-federal-officer/65-df40e8da-febf-44ef-8ebd-4f3d190974be

Republicans want to hurt Americans they don't like


American cities, especially in blue states, are safer than they have been in decades. Baltimore, for instance, is seeing the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s (when it first started collecting statistics) thanks to the diligent efforts (https://popular.info/p/the-secret-to-baltimores-extraordinary) of Mayor Brandon Scott. A wealthy, passing-for-white male (Mullin has a Cherokee background) member of Congress flipping out about city crime today is like having a panic attack over fear of being assaulted by Goofy at Disneyland.


But cities really are full of everything that conservatives hate: liberals, feminists, diversity, LGBT people, immigrants, and so on—essentially, cosmopolitanism writ large. New York City in particular, with its millions of people from all over the world living cheek by jowl in relative harmony, is living disproof of JD Vance’s Volksgemeinschaft ideology (https://www.unpopularfront.news/p/jd-vances-anti-declaration). It proves that immigrants can be a vital part of the American fabric, and in fact always have been—and Republicans can’t stand it.


A consistent thread in the history of American conservatism is the enjoyment of inflicting sadistic violence on helpless members of disfavored groups. This stems from slavery, which required brutal violence to function at all, but was also the central pillar of the subsequent Jim Crow regime. Segregation was only the surface of a system in which “white people, mostly white men, occasionally went berserk, and grabbed random black people, usually men, and lynched them … white people also randomly beat black people, and the black people could not fight back, for fear of even worse punishment,” as Hamdan Rice writes (https://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/08/29/1011562/-Most-of-you-have-no-idea-what-Martin-Luther-King-actually-did). “This constant low level dread of atavistic violence is what kept the system running.”


I think on some level, conservatives know perfectly well that liberal American cities are quite safe. That’s why they have to work themselves into such paroxysms of hysterical cowardice—to give themselves permission to inflict violence on the Americans they hate. It’s what happened in Los Angeles earlier this year, and it’s happening to Washington, D.C., today. Tomorrow it will be somewhere else, and unless Republicans are stopped, the violence will only escalate. “We’re gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington, D.C.,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said on Newsmax (https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lwekzzruji2j) recently. “I think this is an experiment that’s probably needed in a lot of the Democrat-run cities in America.”

WASHINGTON — A man accused of throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal officer in D.C. was back in federal court on Thursday, facing a felony assault charge.

A judge released 37-year-old Sean Dunn — a former Department of Justice employee — on his own recognizance. Despite charging him with an enhanced version of an assault charge that requires bodily injury and carries up to eight years in federal prison, prosecutors said Thursday they had no basis on which to argue he should be detained.

three red states send national guard to DC





Three states have moved to deploy hundreds of members of their national guard to the nation’s capital as part of the Trump administration’s effort to overhaul policing in Washington (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/15/washington-dc-police-trump-takeover) through a federal crackdown.


West Virginia said it was deploying 300 to 400 guard troops, while South Carolina pledged 200 and Ohio said it would send 150 in the coming dayshttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/16/west-virginia-national-guard-troops-dc-trump

[Winehole23]

^^^ for literally no reason, nothing happened in DC that warrants the extra assistance from three different states

[Winehole23]

at some point, the figurative antagonism will spill over into the literal

red states deploying forces pretextually in blue cities to persuade them to support Trump is novel and it is revolutionary

[Winehole23]

Two months earlier, a similar dynamic played out in Los Angeles. Following nationwide immigration raids that led to more than 2,000 arrests, protesters blocked Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention vans and gathered outside federal buildings. The president responded by activating the National Guard. Helicopters circled overhead. Tear gas drifted across a Home Depot parking lot. The city’s leadership had not asked for help, nor was there evidence of a breakdown in public order.



These were not acts of emergency governance. They were deliberate assertions of federal power over political opponents, designed for maximum visual and emotional impact. They were meant to be seen far beyond the city limits—and they revealed a governing pattern that blends the language of small government with a readiness to deploy maximum state force when it serves political ends.


The intended audience for these deployments was not the people of DC or Los Angeles. It was voters in suburban Pennsylvania, rural Wisconsin, and the exurbs of Georgia—people who will never walk those streets but have been told for years that cities led by Democrats are dangerous, chaotic, and out of control. For them, the images of soldiers in intersections, helicopters circling landmarks, and armored vehicles rumbling past storefronts confirmed a story they had already been given.


This is the “straw man city”: Chicago as shorthand for lawlessness, DC as the embodiment of disorder, Los Angeles as the symbol of unchecked protest. The facts on the ground—that Chicago’s violent crime has dropped this year, that the LA protests were contained—are irrelevant to the purpose of the spectacle.

pretextual policing has a real cost




billed as a crackdown on violent crime, has quickly turned into an economic and cultural crisis for the capital’s LGBTQ (http://advocate.com/lgbt)+ nightlife. In the most LGBTQ (https://www.pride.com/lgbtq/?utm_campaign=SmartLinks)+ city in America, bar owners say sales have collapsed, patrons are staying home, and workers are carrying passports and legal documents just to walk the streets.

Rutstein said that on Wednesday evening, federal and local agencies staged checkpoints on 14th Street that led to 45 arrests, 29 of them immigration-related. He said that Homeland Security agents in vests were seen pulling a Latino man into an unmarked vehicle.


Rutstein said the visible presence of law enforcement for blocks sparked protests and “customer flight.” Thursday sales at Crush, which is at 14th and U Northwest, dropped 75 percent, and Friday, typically one of their busiest nights, was down by more than half. “Washingtonians leaving the city to avoid the chaos on top of a reduction of tourism is crippling small businesses,” he said.

Dave Perruzza, who owns Pitchers and A League of Her Own in Adams Morgan, said Friday night felt “like a desert.” “Thursdays are all local, but Fridays and Saturdays we get people from out of town, and we just had none of them. It was awful,” he said. He estimated a loss of $7,000 in a single night. “That’s not sustainable.https://www.advocate.com/news/dc-business-struggle-trump-crackdown

First the terrorist tried to enter campus in a car filled with guns. When he wasn’t allowed past the gates, he started firing from a CVS drugstore across the street. From a semi-automatic weapon, 500 shots is a lot. He was at it for a long time.

LMAO Polling retards like my brother in DC.

My brother recently made a FB post about this very thing and how we're now a fascist country even though my brother is dumb as rocks and couldn't pass a grade school test to save his life. I'm not talking shit just to talk shit, my brother is a literal retard like most of you here but probably worse intellectually.

I'll try to summarize his post, "We are now in a fascist country due to Trump. Trump is a cultist and I should know because I was in a cult. DC isn't crime ridden even though I got jumped yrs back while minding my own business. Fascism must end!"

And then a commenter chimed in, "I got punched in the face on the metro but I deserved it."

Those two retards deserved the ass beatings they got tbh. Both fucking retards who can't do basic math. This is your ilk you leftist scumbags! :lmao

Want to know about the "cult" comment when it comes to my brother? It had me cracking up at 23 yrs of age. My brother is such a dumb mother fucker tbh.

San Francisco is pretty safe for a big city

So is NYC, btw


By the San Francisco Police Department’s latest official count, there had been 19 homicides in the first nine months of 2025, compared to 24 last year at the same time last year. Those numbers do not include the apparent murder-suicide (https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/sf-family-four-killed-woodland-heights-21093215.php) of a family of four last week, which may raise the count of murders by three. SFPD has not made an official ruling on the incident, but even if those crimes are included, the city would be on track to have 27 — still the lowest since 1954, according to police data.https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/homicides-data-sf-record-low-21086889.php

Texas is very lax on employers who steal wages


Texas workers have long struggled with wage theft by their employers—and the state’s willingness and ability to crack down on scofflaw employers has been relatively minimal. Now, rates of suspected wage theft are increasing, and the state labor law enforcement system is straining to keep up.

Last year, state investigators faced the highest number of paycheck complaints in nine years and a prior internal audit noted that it typically took months just for complaints to be assigned to an investigator.

“The current system is failing workers in that it’s too slow, especially with many Texans living paycheck to paycheck,” said Sean Goldhammer, director of employment and legal services at the Workers Defense Project, a statewide member-led group that advocates for immigrant workers.

It’s already hard enough for working-class Texans to survive with their full paychecks; 42 percent of Texas households face financial instability (https://www.unitedforalice.org/introducing-ALICE/Texas?utm_source=chatgpt.com). The state still follows the federal minimum wage, which has remained at $7.25 an hour since 2009, and housing in the state has become less (https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/economics/2024/aff-housing/) affordable (https://trerc.tamu.edu/data/housing-affordability/?data-State=Texas).

Meanwhile, the rate of wage theft complaints has soared in recent years, and the state agency responsible for policing labor laws has been unable to keep up. In the 2024 fiscal year, more than 15,000 complaints were filed with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), which is charged with enforcing state and federal labor law. That’s the highest amount since at least 2016 and double the amount from 2021, according to agency reports (https://www.twc.texas.gov/sites/default/files/enterprise/docs/self-evaluation-report-sunset-commission-twc-accessible.pdf#page=360). Of the 12,400 cases investigated that year, the state ordered employers to pay back more than $10 million in wages.

Wage theft comes in the form of anything from missing paychecks, commissions, bonuses, or other owed wages under the state payday law to overtime manipulation and misclassification as an independent contractor. TWC may not investigate every complaint if it’s submitted past the 6-month deadline, without sufficient evidence, or involves a bankrupt employer.

If someone steals from your car or your house they might go to jail, but if they rob your paycheck, if they get caught they usually just have to pay it back with no extra sanctions

zero trans people involved


Daniel Savala, a former missionary whose influence inside an Assemblies of God-run college ministry persisted for years despite repeated warnings about his predatory behavior, pleaded guilty Thursday to charges that he sexually abused two boys.

Appearing by video from jail, Savala, 70, entered the plea before Judge Susan Kelly, admitting to one count of continuous trafficking of persons, a felony charge for offenders who engage in a pattern of sexual exploitation involving multiple victims over time. Under a negotiated plea agreement, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison without the possibility of parole.

Savala, dressed in gray jail scrubs, showed no emotion as he entered his plea and accepted a sentence that prosecutors expect will send him to prison for the rest of his life.

[Winehole23]

Last year, an NBC News investigation found (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/chi-alpha-texas-abuse-allegations-christian-missionary-sex-offender-rcna220069) that leaders in the Assemblies of God, the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination, were warned again and again about Savala’s history but failed to cut off his access to students in Texas — even after a 2012 child sex abuse conviction in Alaska. Instead, he remained a revered spiritual figure among pastors in Chi Alpha, who called him “Papa Daniel” and “the holiest man alive” and sent scores of students to his Houston home for guidance.
