Obviously Swalwell needed to drop out of the CA governor's race, and he should already have resigned from his current post.  What's interesting is that the evidence is, as noted, much more robust than Christine Blasey Ford, but that the outcry is more muted.  It's obvious that the governor's race withdrawal  is more about making sure that at least one DFL candidate gets into the runoff than any actual moral outrage.

 "The New York Times reports that 12 of the ~1500 January 6 rioters have reoffended in about a year's time—calling it a "crime spree". The recidivism rate of the J6ers is 0.8%. The average 1 year US re-arrest rate, by contrast, is 43%. funny how that works."

" Wait a minute! Gavin Newsom said none of this was happening, mocked Nick Shirley for traveling to California to investigate and expose it, and called CMS administrator Dr. Oz “racist” against Armenians for even suggesting there was hospice fraud in Los Angeles."

 So, if we'd have kept the same threshold for poverty instead of changing it, we'd have virtually eliminated poverty in the US. One wonders why the metric keeps changing.

 So, we know that we could remove a mere 500 known individuals from society and lower the rate of gun violence by 70%, and for some reason choose the higher gun violence.

" Once again, Europe's history shows that if you simply hang the tiny percentage of the population that commits essentially all of the crime, rather than giving it EBT Danegeld indefinitely, the criminality problem goes away Europe hanged 1% of each generation for centuries. Practically every crime beyond the most petty minor offenses were capital crimes, and the proper sentencing was rigorously enforced Horse thieves, robbers, murderers, etc. faced not "probation" given them by a pro-crime judge, but the gallows. And they faced it for centuries, from roughly the High Middle Ages to the Georgian period The result was that crime went away. They plucked the crime genes out of the population by ruthlessly punishing criminals, and the result was that their civilization could focus on doing great and noble things instead of endlessly subsidizing a criminal underclass It is this lesson that must be in mind as we deal with crime and criminality. The number of lawbreakers is relatively small, though much dead wood has been allowed to build up. It's time to start handling that with the seriousness it deserves."

 

  

 

Clearly living with and doing nothing about violent crime is a choice made by leaders of large urban areas.
