Alito has a "pretty good idea" who leaked Dobbs opinion.

The Supreme Court has their own federal police force which answers to the Court only. Your suspicion is based on a faulty premise. In re Totenberg, she was caught out already, as I described here: -

What is better, no guns, or more guns?
LeviF replied to Security's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
BS? Gun homicide death rate for white, non-hispanic is 2.1 per 100,000. On par with the rates for Nebraska, Colorado, and Connecticut. Still much larger than the say the European Union as a whole, but with more guns than people in the USA. Does the presence of guns mean more deaths? Absolutely. Is the bulk of the gap between the US and other high income countries attributable to guns only? Clearly not. Consider these two statements and how you literally can't do the second without considering the implications of the first. What will deter people from joining gangs if they can't comprehend the consequences of their actions to begin with? -

As I’ve stated repeatedly, the solutions are there, just not the gumption to implement them. Toss gang members in prison for the max plus the fed gang escalator and you’ll see the gap close. -

Don't bother man. "Mass shootings" include black-initiated gang shootings when they want to pump the numbers up. "Mass shootings" are curtailed and curated to only include white MKULTRA participants who shoot up schools and synagogues when they want to demonize whites. You'll never have an honest conversation with them on the topic. -

Blacks and whites have equal access to guns. Hell, because of felony conviction rates you could argue that blacks have less access to firearms. Yet criminal shootings are mostly a black problem, as we’ve established in the various crime threads. -

You and a few buddies heading out to the bar, great! Bar is crowded, boo! Quickly free up some seats by obnoxiously hitting on women seated at one of the high tops or at the bar.

We used to drive all night, all over town We'd go Waltzing Matilda, when Matilda came around And I always sang them blues to you There's a dirty wind blowing There's a storm front coming in There's an SOS on the seas tonight Steady now, Steady now Soldier hold fast now It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

Are you single and ready to mingle and just had a great first date with someone you met on a dating app? Report their account for in-person issues so you limit their dating pool and you can keep them to yourself.

If someone is a second amendment fan and living in NYC I'm not sure what to tell them lmao. I am not generally a Bloomberg or Giuliani fan per se, but the crime drop in NYC over the rest of the country during their tenures is staggering. There are real issues w/r/t police training around firearm rights. For example because the second amendment exists the presence of a firearm is not on its face a threat or even a basis for reasonable suspicion in many areas. In NYC this is obviously not the case because acquiring a gun permit is nearly impossible for the average citizen. But this cuts multiple ways as a few "blue on blue" incidents have illustrated. So when a police officer articulates their RAS, simply "I saw the imprint of a concealed firearm" is increasingly not meeting the standard.
-
Terry stops are constitutional. I think late Bloomberg-era stop and frisk, the highest number years for those stops, had like a 12% hit rate (~80,000 out of ~600,000 stops) where a "hit" is a stop that results in a conviction. That's actually pretty good when you consider that RAS is the standard for a Terry stop. Hit rates were higher for the Giuliani years but it wasn't being pushed *as much* and so officers were using more discretion and observation. Again, this goes back to some fair criticisms of how the NYPD operated in the Bloomberg era. Number of Terry stops shouldn't be a performance metric, for instance. CompStat originated in NYC Transit Police, back when that was its own entity. Due to several factors nearly all proactive policing in large cities has ceased which means hot spots are basically only used to determine how many officers will be assigned to take calls there.
-
Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg-era stop-and-frisk, for one. That was actually one of the most successful "gun control" programs ever implemented. Firearm homicides in NYC fell through the floor between 1991 and 2013. There are fair criticisms of how it was implemented during Bloomberg's tenure but progressives have no interest in nuanced takes and flatly disapproved of it. Same with CompStat-driven "hot spot" policing, more funding and more officers for PDs, zero tolerance, etc.

GQP - child labor to solve labor shortage
LeviF replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Leftists: they’re trying to control wages by artificially increasing the labor supply at the bottom with unskilled and inexperienced teenagers! Also leftists: shut up racist we need more immigrants or else the economy will self destruct in five seconds! You can’t take these people seriously. -
Re: some posts upthread, solving the crime problem is trivially easy. You don’t even need 20th or 21st century tech. Progressives simply object to any measure that effectively controls and eliminates criminal behavior.

Make friends with crackheads and dope fiends. Then when they’re really jonesing, offer to buy their stuff for pennies on the dollar. Just got a JBL speaker for $20!

If you're looking to make a little extra cash, fire up your local sex offender registry and target those homes to rob. They can't own guns and odds of you being able to blackmail them into silence with something you find there is pretty good.
