If the democrats didn't allow crime to get out of control and criminals do what they want this may not have happened

Is it ironic that someone who supports the open boarder policy for criminals to enter the country was attacked by one or is it karma?
And isn’t it further proof of the incompetence of the capital police that they cannot provide security for those they are to protect.
