'Soft on crime' politics blamed for Austin murder

 Blaze:

Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars, railed against the leftist policies of the Democratic Party and Soros-funded district attorneys after one of his reporters was brutally murdered in Austin, Texas.

Just before midnight on Monday morning, Austin police received a call about a shooting or stabbing on the 2300 block of Douglas Street in South Austin. When they arrived, they found a victim with signs of "obvious trauma," according to KXAN, and raced him to the hospital, where he died shortly thereafter.

Though initial news reports about the homicide did not name the victim, Jones and other members of the Infowars team soon learned he was Jamie White, one of their own.

"We sent some people over this morning when [White] didn't answer the phone. He's always here early, loves to work, loves to fight tyranny, loves to promote freedom," Jones said in a video posted to X. "And when they got to the apartment complex, there was yellow tape everywhere and blood all over the parking lot."

Now that White's family has been notified, Jones said he felt compelled to share the news with the Infowars audience. Jones described White as the "best writer and reporter" at Infowars and a true American "patriot."

For now, few details about White's murder have been released. "This is pretty early on in the investigation, and the homicide unit will be releasing more information as they're able," said Leah Ratliff, public information officer for the Austin Police Department, according to Newsweek.

No suspect has been identified, but Jones claimed that the soft-on-crime and "defund the police" policies embraced by Democrats — especially district attorneys like Jose Garza of Travis County, Texas, who were elected to office thanks in large part to funding from leftist billionaire George Soros and his various activist groups — led directly to White's death.

"I lay all of this squarely at the feet of these DAs and of the Soros crime syndicate and of the Democratic Party. They are the ones that administratively cut the police, prosecute the police, even in cases that are 100% clear to be lawful, legal activities. And then you wonder why we can't get enough police," Jones explained.

Jones is not the only one who has been critical of law enforcement after Soros-backed prosecutors were elected.   These prosecutors have made their community less safe.  I lived in Austin back during the sixties when it was a much safer city.  It was also a much smaller city back then with a population of around 250,000.  The current population is about four times that now.  Apparently, the police department has not grown much.
