Progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is firing back at a railroad company that has taken shots at him for not doing more to stop train burglaries in the area, despite the company's pleas for his office's assistance.(Snip)'These individuals are generally caught and released back onto the streets in less than twenty-four hours. Criminals boast to our officers that charges will be pled down to simple trespassing—which bears no serious consequence,' the letter from UP's California director of public affairs Adrian Guerrero said. UP said it experienced a 160 percent increase in criminal rail theft in LA County over the past year.

A woke City Council member who has called the NYPD the Big Apple’s “biggest gang” is under fire for tweeting about a community garden instead of showing sympathy following Friday night’s ambush shooting in her Harlem district that left a rookie cop dead and another officer clinging for life. Newly elected Kristin Richardson Jordan, a Democratic socialist, tweeted two hours after the shooting about her concerns over a neighborhood community garden being shut down.(Snip)After being lambasted on social media over her that tweet, she drew even more ire by cryptically claiming she was ordered not to discuss the shooting. “I have been asked not to tweet about it

All 14 black Mississippi state senators, all Democrats, walked out before a vote on a bill that forbids teaching students at public schools and colleges that 'that any sex, race, ethnicity, religion or national origin is inherently superior or inferior.' The bill later passed passed 32-2, with only two Democratic legislators—David Blount and Hob Bryan, both white—voting against it. It now heads to the Mississippi state House for approval. The unprecedented walkout on Friday followed a two-hour debate when Democratic lawmakers asked whether or not Critical Race Theory (CRT), which centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nation’s institutions and that they function

For nearly two weeks in January, authorities say, Kashawn Wertman and Nautica Argue terrorized several dozen vehicle owners during a carjacking spree in 15 cities over three metro counties. Carrying guns, the two committed the crimes in driveways, motel parking lots, at schools and day cares and against food delivery workers, according to felony criminal complaints filed Friday in Hennepin County. Argue, 19, and Wertman, 18, were arrested Tuesday in St. Paul after fleeing from sheriff's deputies in a stolen Audi.

Hate-crime complaints skyrocketed by nearly 100 percent in New York City last year—with reported anti-Asian attacks more than tripling, according to newly released NYPD data. Overall, hate-based complaints jumped from 275 incidents in 2020 to 538 last year, the figures show. The largest portion of complaints was for anti-Jewish crimes, which accounted for 38 percent of all reports, according to the data. Anti-Jewish complaints increased 54 percent year over year, from 134 incidents to 207, according to the numbers. But anti-Asian crimes saw the largest increase in actual incidents, going from 30 in 2020 to 133 last year, for a 343 percent spike.

New Jersey—Considered an engineering marvel of its time, the Transcontinental Railroad was a game changer, connecting the east and west in the back end of the 1800s. The contribution of roughly 20,000 Chinese immigrants proved to be vital in the railway’s completion, but as New Jersey 12-year-old Bryan Zhao discovered, it was widely ignored in his social studies classes growing up.
“It just felt very weird being excluded like we weren’t part of US history and that was completely wrong,” Zhao told PIX11 News.(Snip)Learning about the contributions of Asian Americans will now be part of the curriculum statewide after Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation this week
Comments:
They'll learn how the evil White man exploited the oppressed Chinamen to build railroads, and also how that mean Republican FDR (who only pretended to be a Democrat) rounded up Japanese Americans and placed them in containment camps during WWII. All well and good, but how will this stop the bLACK kids from beating up the Asian kids?
