The cry of the progressive harpies is rising loud and clear in the skies above the festering cesspool that is the current downtown Cincinnati.
We all hear it, sounding like a shrill, ear-piercing, maddening clarion call to decay, decrepitude, and destruction.
These women revel in the chaos and pick at what little rational flesh is left on the bones with the maniacal fervor of slavering she-beasts seeking to render every last bit of good into detritus. To force every last bit of human decency, compassion, and civilized behavior from their domain.
Havoc and anarchy.
They are well on their way to succeeding.
What is wrong with the women who get elected to these offices?
David did a great job in his two posts on the situation there today, but I wanted to have at the females who have facilitated and exacerbated it.
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge, the first woman to lead the police department (and a good argument for why she should be the last), spent yesterday not excoriating the roving gang of thugs who felt perfectly within their rights to gleefully gang-stomp folks just out for a late evening event.
It was, the chief insisted, a matter of social media amplifying a situation before she had a chance to get out in front of it and make excuses for the wilding in the wee hours on her streets.
The local paper wasn’t buying it.
According to Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge, a lot of people are to blame for the violent assaults that took place at Fourth and Elm streets on July 25.
Downtown bars are responsible for overserving customers. Bystanders are at fault because only one person called 911. And social media is to blame for distorting the incident and failing to provide the full context of what happened.
When it came time to cast blame for the acts of violence, the police chief conveniently left herself and other city officials out of it. And that’s too bad. Because her failure to effectively address crime and violence downtown is much more at fault here than any downtown bar, reluctant bystander, or social media post.
At a press conference on July 28, the chief stated that while she feels safe going downtown with her family, she “would not encourage them to be downtown when all the bars are letting out at three o’clock in the morning.” To me, that sounds like an admission that the police don’t have a handle on the situation downtown, at least not when people are leaving bars at the end of the night.
If downtown Cincinnati crime, which is technically a police chief’s purview, female or not, is so bad she couldn’t say she’d want her family downtown at zero dark thirty, then why didn’t the chief have her officers there when crimes tend to happen?
…Among other things, the chief’s acknowledgement that the city isn’t a safe place to be when bars close raises serious questions about the decision to send the new crime task force home at 2 a.m. Wouldn’t it have made sense to keep the task force on duty to secure people’s safety as the bars let out on one of the busiest bar nights of the year?
It seems the chief was more upset about getting virally busted for the heinous attack than the fact that it happened on her watch.
…In the absence of the video posted on social media and the reporting that followed, it seems unlikely that the public would have learned anything at all about an act of incredible violence that took place on city streets. As far as I can tell, the Cincinnati police leadership certainly didn’t step forward to tell anyone about it until after the incident went viral. In fact, according to Theetge, the police did not begin their investigation until Saturday morning, “as soon as the video was posted.”
One begins to suspect that there might not have been much of an investigation at all had the video not been posted to social media. At the very least, we deserve to know a lot more about what investigating, if any, was done in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
It ruined all the good press about Music Fest, dang it.

Of course, there’s never just one bad apple. There’s the professional race grifters who have to weigh in and put some more tarnish varnish on a disgraceful situation. Cincinnati sure has one of those, and she’s the President Pro Tem of the City Council, no less!
WELCOME TO THE QUEEN CITY, EVERYONE BUT YOU HONKIES
A Democrat member of the Cincinnati City Council is facing backlash after saying that the victims of a mass brawl in her city deserved to be beaten to a pulp.
Victoria Parks, 67, the President Pro Tem of the city council, sparked anger on social media after commenting on a story about a melee in the Ohio city’s downtown area over the weekend.
The fight captured national headlines as a couple were set upon by a large group of people, with upwards of 100 witnesses gathering to watch the savage attack, but only one eventually calling 911.
In her comment on Facebook, Parks said: ‘They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story.’
She seems nice.
This is Cincinnati City Councilor Victoria Parks, who wrote the 3 White elderly people attacked at their jazz festival “begged for it”. Here she is advocating for free housing, food and DEI jobs. pic.twitter.com/k1igqX7YYu

And suddenly the Hamilton County District Attorney Connie Pillich is all about law and order and *checks notes* prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law.
What a concept! Oh, well done, girl.
These animals were released on a $400 bond?
You are not prosecuting anyone. You have allowed
these animals back into the street. If these
attackers were white & the victims black, they
would be behind bars. Do you job and protect
white citizens of Cincinnati!— David Ryan (@DavidRy01734524) July 30, 2025
But had she always been so concerned with ‘the law,’ at least one of the violent thugs involved in this would not have been on the street to slug an innocent woman in the face.
I know that’s nitpicking, but I felt I had to mention it.
What I said when I first heard about this was that white people should simply stop going downtown. Just stop. Not another frickin’ dime. Boycott the downtown.
Don’t patronize the restaurants or attend the events – don’t do a damn thing in that squalid, dangerous hellhole, then see how soon the business community starts beating up on the mayor and his incompetent progressive cadre of destructive virtue-signalers.
Not that the mayor’s any slouch in that department.
CUE: THE OUTRAGEOUS OUTRAGE
Mayor of Cincinnati is “outraged” but it took him nearly 60 hours to released a consultant contrived statement. @AftabPureval has no business being mayor. Pathetic! https://t.co/oELfpVdDL6

Little did I know those business owners in the downtown were already on the march, had been complaining forever, it seems, and finally they took it to social media themselves.
DO SOMETHING AND DO IT NOW
Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse and the Cincinnati Downtown Restaurant Coalition are calling for accountability and decisive action in the wake of a weekend brawl that is making national headlines.
The statement was posted by Jeff Ruby’s Cincinnati on Instagram Tuesday.
The message from Jeff Ruby’s CEO, Britney Ruby Miller, said the restaurant group is heartbroken and outraged by the recent violence, calling the video “disturbing.”
Downtown Restaurant Coalition said they represent thousands of employees and serve tens of thousands of guests, which is why they’re invested in the city.
In Tuesday’s post, the group said they do not want vague promises or delayed responses.
Instead, they want to see Cincinnati leaders develop a clear plan.
As my girlfriend Fuzzy points out, all the pissed off in the world means nothing…
Not going to be a tiny bit effective unless they stop voting for Democrats who are destroying cities across the nation. You want law and order? Vote out Democrats. It’s the only way, and they tell you that every day. Pay attention and vote accordingly.

…if they keep voting for these people and all the shrilly, worthless, deadly woke that comes with them.
Me?
I’d stay home ’til someone gets it fixed.
Beege UPDATE: What can I say?
Cincinnati is an amazing and spectacular City. It deserves political leadership that matches the greatness of its citizens.@AftabPureval issues a late/weak statement, Police Chief blames social media (not the lack of almost 200 officers), Prosecutor @ConniePillich lets off… pic.twitter.com/6BzfO48m4G

This is Holly. She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this. Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did.
We need and deserve change.
