   An electrician in Minneapolis feels helpless after being the   
   victim of a crime.   
      
   Jerry Yang has been an electrician in Minneapolis for over 12   
   years. Recently, his trailer, which contained $20,000 worth of   
   work tools, was stolen. Yang knows where the thieves took his   
   trailer, thanks to a tracking device he installed. Yet, when he   
   went to the police for help, he was told they couldn't do   
   anything. Why? Because the thieves reside in the city's "Near   
   North" homeless encampment.   
      
   "Near North" is located on city property and has been active for   
   over two years. It is considered a hazardous and high-crime area   
   and has been served multiple eviction notices by the city. Yet   
   the city never enforces them. As a result, the residents of   
   "Near North" dictate what will and will not be accepted by law   
   enforcement. Meanwhile, people like Jerry Yang suffer.   
      
   "It's not that we're unwilling to help, we just have to find the   
   right time and circumstances to do it," a police spokesperson   
   told KARE 11. He added that officers have to 'be creative and   
   get the job done with the least amount of force.'"   
      
   This is absolutely absurd. After two years, when exactly is "the   
   right time?" Furthermore, why do criminals get a two-year   
   reprieve for committing crimes? Why does Minneapolis care more   
   about protecting criminals than innocent people? And why would   
   the city's leaders believe this is an effective strategy in   
   fighting crime? They have essentially enabled criminals to   
   terrorize their community without any consequences. It's an   
   example of everything that is wrong with American society today.   
      
   "The criminals there know that they can walk away and do   
   whatever they want and know the cops aren't going to enforce the   
   law in that area," said Yang. "It just makes me feel helpless   
   and people in the community feel helpless."   
      
   Time and time again, the Left's solution to crime has been a   
   cataclysmal disaster. The infusion of left-wing political   
   agendas into the country's criminal justice system has done   
   nothing but empower those who prey on the innocent. Under the   
   guise of social justice, their radical thinking consistently   
   makes everyone less safe.
