Couple of questions before I respond: Where do you live, and tell me what you think bail reform means?
By the way, per my previous post, besides stating that towns run by liberal Democrats are murder capitals, tell me specifically what you or a strong, Republican mayor in Lexington or any other major city would do, not in general, tell me what you or your hypothetical mayor of Lexington would do first day on the job to first stop, then solve all these murders? I have talked to Chief Weathers about this topic, and know Mayor Gorton personally, I promise to pass on your suggestions.
-Start with advising every citizen without a felony record, without a history of drug possession, and/or without a pattern of domestic assaults to get firearms training and carry.
-Go to neighborhood churches and/or find veterans and recruit those of humble and moral reputation that are trained and comfortable with carrying to form neighborhood militias able to respond with force to violent crime in progress. If they are willing but not trained, then train them. Make property crimes violent crimes- burglary, theft, and destruction of property.
-Make trespassing laws more strict instead of less. Make the assumption of trespassing standard if someone is on personal and non-business property without being invited and without signs being posted.
-Reintroduce formalities and some rules of etiquette so people know their boundaries and what they are and are not allowed to do in public around complete strangers.
-Let security guards open carry on the job but only with military level background tests, training, and psych evals.
-Enforce rules against small crimes and violations so that people don't think about breaking the rules so much.
-Get panhandlers off the city streets by making it a felony. There are places for people to go for food and shelter.
-Arrest and quickly prosecute gov officials who break the law, removing them from office and confiscating any property gained by them or their families in breaking laws, and setting an example for everyone. Such crimes would include introducing legislation that violates constitutional protections and principles, such as laws that allow them to do things that are illegal for the rest of the people, AND refusing to act to protect the rights, property, and lives of the citizens of this republic.
These are the areas/foundation I would start with
