Austin, TX – So, a 24-hour shooting bonanza goes down in Austin, and suddenly everyone's all shocked? Newsflash: you reap what you sow, snowflakes. Turns out, when you let a bunch of soy-infused city council members run the show, prioritizing feelings over facts, bad things happen.

Three teens – ages 15, 16, and the ripe old age of 17 (named Cristian Mondragon-Fajardo because Texas gonna Texas) – decided to play Grand Theft Auto in real life, racking up 12 separate shootings, including one at a fire station. Because why not, right? They also boosted four cars, because Uber is for the weak.

But here's the kicker: Retired Austin cop Dennis Farris (probably a secret MAGA chud, according to the libs) is absolutely roasting the city council for stripping the police of key tools, like Flock Safety license plate readers. Apparently, these cameras, which could have helped connect the dots faster than a Karen calling the cops on a BBQ, were deemed too…problematic.

Why? Because activists (read: professional whiners) threw a tantrum about ICE getting their hands on the data. Never mind that Farris says Austin PD rarely deals with ICE. It’s all about the optics, man. Gotta signal that virtue, even if it means letting criminals run wild.

Remember when everyone was screeching about defunding the police? Well, congratulations, Austin. You basically got what you asked for. You traded safety for wokeness, and now you're paying the price. Bet those virtue-signaling council members are feeling real good about themselves right now. Probably sipping oat milk lattes while the rest of the city wonders if they'll be next.

Seriously, though, this is what happens when you let ideology trump common sense. You hamstring the police, embolden criminals, and then act surprised when the streets turn into a Mad Max movie. Maybe it's time for Austin to ditch the soy and embrace some good ol' fashioned law and order. Before things get even more spicy. At least the 17 year old is getting booked like an adult. Time for the other two youngbloods to meet their parents.
