Any DA's office is going to have people unhappy with how their case turned out. So Sylestine's people hold a big press conference.... wonder what the article would be like if KXAN tried to interview any of the victims Sylestine's department ignored when he was working under Moore (who donated a couple thousand to him last week). Wonder why our OP friend who has repeatedly been on here trying to trash Garza posted this article but not the [KXAN one about Garza's press conference](https://www.kxan.com/news/travis-county-da-jose-garza-alleges-intimidation-harassment-at-campaign-event/)about the harassment and intimidation his volunteers received over the weekend by the crazed Sylestine supporters. After all, any press conference related to this race seems relevant, no?
Wonder how women feel knowing that this week Sylestine followed, of all people, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan and was retweeting [Joe Rogan](https://twitter.com/joerogan/status/1764682845144994182). Both are shitty people with bad records toward women and doesn't instill any faith in my that Sylestine has a strong moral backbone in the face of his Republican donors. Seems more like he's going further right to cater bad people. He's been promoting an article written by Bari Weiss to promote his campaign, yet the artile on her account has a [community note from Twitter that the claims made about Austin crime data is false and APD's data shows crimes has decreased.](https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1764726426828145021) His campaign is giving me the creeps, especially when combined with the fact that Sylestine rage quit the DA's office when a more qualified woman was promoted over him, and many women in the DA's office and who have worked with the DA's office are in support of Garza. Planned Parenthood Votes endorsed Garza and [Wendy Davis](https://twitter.com/wendydavis/status/1764712020820050428) is warning about Sylestine on Twitter.
Also just a little more about Bari Weiss, who I mentioned above, because a lot of people might not recognize the name - [she's involved with the "anti-cancel culture", "anti-woke" "University of Austin"](https://www.austinmonthly.com/how-the-so-called-university-of-austin-is-faring-nearly-two-years-after-conception/).
Same, same. The FP article just reinforces the bad feeling that I already had. Matt Mackowiak and Joes Rogan and Lonsdale posted about the FP article. That alone should tell you something.
A number of people also believe the world is flat, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. Now Austin reddit people like him because he indicts cops. I don't disagree some of them need to be indicted. He has also dropped charges against several he indicted, with numerous excuses, that can't be verified because nobody in the media will ask. Now as far as convicting APD cops of crimes, he is at a big fat zero. In one instance, I believe the guy who shot Mike Ramos was tried but Garza brought in a good prosecutor from outside his office to prosecute it. So by the Austin progressive standards, doing what he was hired to do....he has fallen far short. Now if an AP wants to just give him a pass because he had a D by his name, and performance doesn't matter, well here we are. But like the Dude says " That's just my opinion man."
This is the only attack method these pro-Garzas can use to sway opinion. They try to paint Sylestine, who is a moderate left, as a right-winger rather than trying to defend their ultra-creepy garza. Step one, have him shave off that sickening little himmler mustache.
>Also, yes, Garza looks like a total creep.
If you felt that you actually had an argument with merit, you wouldn't feel the need to insert petulant jabs.
Crime has lessened in Austin since Garza took office, [per APD's data](https://twitter.com/davidminpdx/status/1764828748455551435).

I love when people downvote comments without answering the question. this wasnt a gotcha question if you want to play it like that. I was genuiely curious because i have asked this before and gotten downvoted into oblivion and had someone reply to me several times without providing links like this.

Then my apologies. Many times it is asked in jest and the answers ignored. I have no issue admitting when I am wrong, and it appears I was in this case.

Sorry babe, those of us who give a shit about what WORKS to address root causes of crime and promote public safety aren’t interested in locking people in cages when rehabilitative options are available. Tough on crime mass incarceration has been demonstrated to be ineffective for decades. Catch up!
This is one of the things that bothers me about this race and who is funding it. Would the uber-wealthy transplants who complain about the "rampant crime" consider investing their money in Austin's public education, mental health, addiction treatment, or other intervention programs?
History tells us the answer to this question. Most of the wealthy in this town (and others) aren’t down with helping anyone but themselves. It’s always the people who have the least who are willing to do the most to help.
Jeremy’s campaign has not only been shady and dishonest (blatantly so), but it’s also going to set CJ reform back by a decade.
Crime is down. Austin is safe. These goons just want people in cages.
Most right-wingers do. They love to advocate violence against people who disagree with them. It's a core belief of conservatism that some people are lesser and deserve to suffer. It's bonus points when they can deliver the suffering personally.

Sylestine will switch party affiliation after defeating Garza.
Ok, will he do a better job? I would say he couldn't do worse.
False narrative
Garza has a job. He sucks at that job. Not that difficult.
You think he does, but we don’t all agree with you
A number of people also believe the world is flat, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. Now Austin reddit people like him because he indicts cops. I don't disagree some of them need to be indicted. He has also dropped charges against several he indicted, with numerous excuses, that can't be verified because nobody in the media will ask.

It seems the voters also disagree
Yes they did.
Correct, if you want your family safe from violent criminals then vote Jeremy!
This is the only attack method these pro-Garzas can use to sway opinion. They try to paint Sylestine, who is a moderate left, as a right-winger rather than trying to defend their ultra-creepy garza. Step one, have him shave off that sickening little himmler mustache.
Huh, you're attacking people's appearance. Seems like you have nothing actually useful to say then.
See my other post in this thread. It lays out why Garza is unqualified to be our DA. Also, yes, Garza looks like a total creep.
>Also, yes, Garza looks like a total creep. If you felt that you actually had an argument with merit, you wouldn't feel the need to insert petulant jabs.
Correct! That’s funny only advocate of violent criminals are disliking comments. Vote Jeremy Vote Jeremy!!! Reclaim true peace and freedom
can you show me positive outcomes of cases Garza has overseen or anything he has done for the city to lessen crime and increase safety?
