I used to work in the city of Boston, Mass., and felt comparatively safe in the town, yet at night. It’s a wonderful city—or at least it was —full of story. In a lot of way, I miss being there every day ( it’s been many times )… in various ways, not so much. Honestly, I really don’t believe I’d be cozy it again. Why? Because the state’s Democrat president, Michelle Wu, has actually lost her mind.  ,

In her latest far-left system to eliminate what’s left of this once-great area, she’s implemented a mind-boggling “no-arrest” scheme for drug traffickers. You read that right—drug sellers are getting a free pass in Boston then, courtesy of the native Democratic Party.
This fatal scheme, cooked up by Wu alongside Police Commissioner Michael Cox and Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden, represents anything wrong with democratic governance. They’re calling it an “evolution” in tackling medicine issues.  ,
” At the end of the day, this topic is about sobriety”, said Hayden. ” Incarceration is not the solution to help get them awake, and if we don’t get them awake, next they’re coming up.
” If we don’t address the underlying problem, then we don’t solve the problem, and they will continue to commit whatever violence they were committing, whether it’s drug use, whether it’s drug dealing to help the practice, whether it’s theft, whether it’s robbing something, whatever it may be, that’s what we’re trying to deal with,” Hayden added.
While Wu and her crew of drivers pat themselves on the backside for their” attentive “approach, Boston’s roads are turning into open-air pharmaceutical industry. Local business owners are watching their lives circle the discharge as consumers avoid the extremely dangerous downtown area. At a new business roundtable, determined shop owners spelled it out plain and simple: the drug situation” scares the customer to arrive in town and buy stuff.”

The pure idiocy of this plan would be ridiculous if it weren’t so risky. Instead of arresting crooks who poison our societies, Wu’s excellent plan is to give them a delay and a participation prize. Accountability? None of that. However, law-abiding citizens are left to deal with the consequences of this liberal dream gone bad.
The” evolved” area plan comes amid heightened rely on crime and open-air substance use downtown, which the police department has formerly attributed to spill from the original long-time Mass and Cass encampment that was cleared via a city ordinance proposed by the mayor in November 2023.
Police statistics show total crime, including drug dealing and shoplifting, reached the highest level in roughly seven years in the Downtown Crossing/Boston Common area last year— with 995 crimes reported, compared to 958 in 2023, according to a Boston Globe report.
We’ve seen these soft-on-crime policies implemented before, and they always end in disaster. The opioid crisis isn’t going to be solved by giving drug dealers a free pass.  ,
The complete disregard for public safety and the rule of law is stunning, even by Democrat standards. While residents and critics raise legitimate concerns about the deteriorating situation, Wu’s administration continues to plug their ears, sing kumbaya, and treat dangerous criminals like victims. It’s the progressive playbook in action: ignore the community, implement failed policies, and blame someone else when it all goes wrong.

The real victims here are the law-abiding citizens of Boston, who deserve better than this dangerous experiment in progressive politics.  ,
But hey, this is what they voted for. Across the country, Democrats keep electing and reelecting the same soft-on-crime politicians, convinced they’re fixing the problem when they’re actually fueling it. It’s as if they’re deliberately running cities into the ground, all while hiding behind empty rhetoric about compassion. The cycle is always the same—Democrats push leniency, crime and disorder explode, and instead of reversing course, they dig in deeper, refusing to admit they were wrong. And it’s happening everywhere, because the same people being hurt by these policies rarely figure out that they can solve it by changing how they vote
Boston’s residents are now paying the price for their leadership’s reckless agenda. The question is, how much worse does it have to get before voters in Boston and all the other liberal cities finally wake up?  ,
