Throw the Gangs in Jail: Having the courage to prosecute criminals under 2923.42 in Ohio

It’s always good to be proactive, and I am thrilled with the police work I have seen lately in my community.  There are many reasons for it, but driving around the last couple of days, I saw many patrol cars with their lights on doing good police work.  Just this week alone, Sheriff Jones has had press conferences on some of the results of that good police work, and I am thrilled to see the nature of those contents without getting into specifics for reasons that are well justified but cryptic because the law demands such respect.  I know it’s a tough job to go out there and collect much evidence for multiple crimes that bad people are committing, only to have weak prosecutions through it all out before ever presenting it to a grand jury because socially our society has gone soft on crime as it has lost connection with a biblical context.  Fear not, for a lot of good reasons.  We don’t need to turn to vigilantes of fantasy, busting the wrong people without the support of law enforcement as rogue agents of justice, bringing chaos to the matter without the respect of an orderly society.  All we have to do is enforce the laws on the books, and if we do that, we will have a much better society.  And I say all this because one of my favorite books I carry around with me everywhere I go these days, the 2024-1 Ohio Criminal Law Handbook, has all the goodness of a prosperous society if only we had the courage to utilize it to full effect.  And to not care about the temperament of the courts who define a business day as 9 am to 3 pm, barely Monday through Friday.  Load them up.  Fill up the jails.  And keep the bad guys off the streets aggressively.  Stop being so permissive and accommodating of criminals and their dumb feelings. 

I say all that because of the proactive need to get control of the criminal elements out there ahead of the next election.  As we saw in 2020 especially, there were lots of “gangs” who harassed Trump supporters and other members of MAGA and shut down cities with communist revolts, such as we saw in Seattle and Portland, where mobs of anarchists took over actual sections of towns and started their own criminal zones.  This behavior is mainstream, as we saw with the new vice presidential pick of the communist Kamala Harris in Governor Tim Walz, who openly and gleefully let his cities burn in Minnesota over race riots provoked by criminals operating illegally in the United States under several laws.  But nobody did anything about it because they feared being accused of violating the “free speech” of the criminals, leaving our society paralyzed by indecision.  Well, we have learned many lessons since then, and knowing that Democrats are going to do anything to win this upcoming 2024 election and the globalists behind them have trillions and trillions of dollars invested in the outcome, we have to recognize that crime in our communities is not organic but provoked for a political battleground.  It’s not something that just happens; it is fueled by political behavior and investment and must be punished wherever we observe it.  To eliminate many problems before they occur, I recommend thoroughly enforcing 2923.41 (42) regarding criminal gangs in Ohio.  Most states have similar laws on the books, but they are not implemented because the scope of compliance is too broad, and socially, law enforcement fears that the public won’t support them.  And prosecutors are undoubtedly weary of such ramifications.  But we have allowed criminal gangs of thugs and misfits of all kinds to disturb our peace, and if we want to have a good society, we will dust off this revised code and put it to good use.

Ohio Law, 2923.41 defines criminal gangs as (A)(3) the persons in the organization, association, or group individually or collectively engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity.  Which essentially means conspiring to break any law in that excellent, wonderful book I mentioned.  We have a state legislature that has filled that book with all kinds of great options to maintain a civil society of individual property protection from the hands of criminal conduct, and we should use it to full effect.  Throw the violators in jail and destroy them every legal way possible, but do not put up with their horrendous behavior.  By enforcement of this one law in Ohio, people like the George Soros types could be prosecuted for their involvement in funding illegal gang behavior, which extends well beyond the typical drug dealer and peddler of smut.  Those politically active who conspire to use force to protest with hints at violence outside a judge’s home to inspire them into a particular judgment could be prosecuted as a member of a gang, which is defined further as involving three or more members intent on such criminal inspirations.  Further, in 2923.42 under “participating in criminal gang” activity, it states in (A) No person who actively participates in a criminal gang, with knowledge that the criminal gang engages in or has engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity, shall purposely promote further, or assist any criminal conduct as defined in division (C) of section 2923.41 of the Revised Code, or shall intentionally commit or engage in any act that constitutes criminal conduct, as defined in Division (C) of section 2923.41 of the Revised Code.  (B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of participating in a criminal gang, a felony of the second degree, which holds with it 2 to 8 years in prison.  Load those prisons up.

Many of the strategies that are essential parts of the Democrat playbook of harassment of civil society could be easily prosecuted under just 2023.41 (42) in Ohio.  Other states have similar definitions.  And the antagonizers who fund these gangs of all forms are betting that nobody will prosecute them, for lack of will, lack of jail space, and the lack of social support in the court system.  Many people are very wishy-washy these days regarding law and order.  But that isn’t because they are necessarily bad people. Instead, they have been inundated with so much bad social conduct that they have forgotten which way is up and down.  And even that is the result of various gang activities that have saturated society with criminal conduct so vast that people have grown numb to it.  But before we allow gangs of thugs such as Antifa to molest our streets in protest of Trump in the upcoming election to cause chaos and destruction, we should round them up and put them in jail.  And if we run out of prisons, let’s build more jails.  With the garbage we fund these days, don’t say we can’t afford more jails. Just in the amount of money lost to illegal immigration with bad Democrat policies, we could build more jails.  But first, we must be willing to fill them to the brim, and then some.  We must show a resolve to deal with criminal thugs in their gang associations at the root of their operations, which are often connected to political scandals and funded by hostile agents who must also be prosecuted at their root cause and done so ruthlessly, as is well deserved. The bad guys, criminal gangs of international communists, have taken over our system of law and order, and it’s time that we rip it away from them and bring justice to their doorsteps.  Ruthlessly!
