Which sides were the shills in that story? Was it the alt-right "thah! This is what ya get without the thin blue line" or the fixie riding tankies saying "everything is perfect, I've never even heard of crime here before, and the whole place smells like fresh clean ocean breeze!"

At least in the NYC subreddit, we have a consistent group of a few dozen people who blame Alvin Bragg for every single thing that happens in the city. Never mind the fact that he’s only the Manhattan DA; you’ll see the same handles blame him for random crimes that happen in other boroughs.

Bragg is an easy target, because he's clearly there to advance his career, and gets behind podiums a lot. He likes the attention.

Okay, but that doesn’t really change what I’ve said: it simply doesn’t make sense to blame the Manhattan DA for crime in other boroughs. It’s like blaming the mayor of LA for crime in Peoria.

I see what you did there with step 2.

The “everything is perfect” crowd isn’t organizing this way.

They dont need to organize. The government hides the crime statistics and the politicians make many crimes legal.

If they don’t need to organize why are they?
