Billionaire investor George Soros has spent millions in recent years replacing tough-on-crime prosecutors with ones that espouse radical and uncompromising visions for the U.S. justice system.
His strategy is working frighteningly well.
Soros’ funding comes through an umbrella network of opaque charities ironically called Open Society Foundations. There is nothing humorous about the consequences.
In Philadelphia, District Attorney Larry Krasner ran and won on a platform of reducing incarceration. When dealing with violent criminals and high recidivism rates, the results were utterly predictable. Statistics provided by the Philadelphia Police Department show gun violence on the rise. Meanwhile, the police commissioner sounds the alarm to anyone who’ll listen about his officers’ plummeting morale and victimized communities feel more isolated and insular than ever.
Despite being derided by the police department’s top brass and receiving zero newspaper endorsements, a $1.45 million influx of cash from Soros propelled Krasner to victory in a seven-way primary.
In St. Louis, Missouri, another Soros-backed attorney is contorting the law to attack those whose views don’t align with her leftist agenda.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner (D) used her power as the city’s top prosecutor to charge Mark and Patricia McCloskey with felony unlawful use of a weapon. The McCloskey’s flashed their firearms and ordered rioters off their property during a June 28 incident when a mob stormed their gated community to confront the mayor. The McCloskey’s allege the marchers threatened them with their lives.
Soros may have first exposed how winning prosecutorial elections gave progressives a backdoor to power. But others have been quick to follow in his footsteps.
George Soros isn’t the only one attempting to control local prosecutor races. Bernie Sanders’ base does it too.
Why? Because it’s easy. They’ve discovered a political back door.

The success of Soros’ strategy was so apparent, Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign adopted it wholesale. Although Sanders’ White House hopes faded after the party establishment coalesced around Joe Biden, political action committees are employing the very same tactics today to tighten their down-ballot grip on the criminal justice system.
Some believe the impact of their success could be one day as dramatic and complete as the left’s takeover of academia. So far, conservative activists have yet to mount a practical challenge.

America had better wake-uo and realize the evil that George Soros is doing to this country. Where is the silent majority ??
The silent majority can’t wake up they have been demoralized and waller in the evil of Soros and alike.
Now this tough on crime means to make sure other than whites get the maximum sentence, and the humanity is taken out of the court system in every way for other than whites.
Now this USA is evolving right along with the rest of the Free World, except some seem to think this is wrong we should stay racist and isolate our country from the rest of the World, seeming to forget the age old saying,” that no man is an island.” now that applies to nations as well, every country needs other countries in some way or the other.
Now law enforcement persons who were with the protesters seem to have a different story than the people who are supporting the persons who threatened the protesters with guns, when the protesters were following the law according to those police who were accompanying them on their march the protesters were on.
Simple answer, the right is doing nothing to stop it!
Exactly… and there are millions of us combat vets just biding our time.
Not buying it. The left is now losing the law and order case due the BLM movement and Antifa. No one is really crying about the president using the feds to quell rioting and they won’t if he moves it to Chicago.
Strip his citizenship and deport him to Israel. That should take care of him.
The communist have slowly built up their armies inside the federal, state and local governments since FDR, across the spectrum, this is how the IRS was weaponized and used against their enemies and again in 2016 using the full power of their SS the US justice system the second largest criminal organization in the world to do their bidding! They would have completely gotten away with it and we would be living under a horrible martial law at this very moment if Our Lord God hadn’t stepped in and put his President on the throne of world power and this is why President Trump will win against and destroy these demons!
Please Deport that Piece of Crap. There are a couple of Country’s, that want Him Dead.
#1 You ignoramus, you cannot deport someone who is from here.
#2 You ignoramus, you have no business posting comments until you learn how to use the apostrophe. Go back to the third grade.
He’s not from here, you ignoramus, however he is a citizen. That applies. Until you commit sedition, at which point citizenship could be revoked. I think.
The rancid, brain-dead left jumped ahead with all the lowlife anarchist street crime going on, but they will soon get their swift kick in the balls. It’s coming, just a matter of time.
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the
whole thing without having side-effects , people
could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thanks
