For years, “broken windows” policing — the idea that the best way to prevent serious crime was to enforce laws against petty crime — was derided by critics as unnecessary, unjust, even racist. So cities across America pulled back from prosecuting the supposedly small stuff, like shoplifting.
Now we’ve seen a jump in violent crime.

Bret Stephens has been writing conservative columns in the NYTimes for over four years as has been Ross Douthat. Conservatives Marc Theissan, Max Boot, Kathleen Parker and George Will write for the Washington Post. That Conwaydailysun readers express shock over a Bret Stephen's column reflects the extent to which they exist in their own narrow media ecosystem.
Wow. Does the Times know he wrote this? Their Woke editors must have been asleep.
How refreshing. A writer for the NYT's that actually gets it.
Maybe we have finally turned a corner on this insane chapter of our history.
