TMI Show Ep 48: “Mean Streets: Can Anyone Clean Them Up?”

•
Ted Rall

A driver runs down and kills 15 pedestrians on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. A man pushes a commuter in front of a New York subway train days after a migrant sets a homeless woman on fire, killing her, on a train in Brooklyn. The FBI says crime is down in every category, especially violent offenses. But urban areas feel lawless and out of control and the latest Gallup poll finds that a majority of Americans believe crime is extremely or very serious.

Are Americans paranoid? What effects are the migrant and homeless crises having? What can the authorities do at the local and national levels to make people feel safe?

“TMI Show” hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan are joined by Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the Secretary of Defense to discuss the state of a scared nation.

LOS ANGELES TIMES CARTOON: Hogwarts Express

Hogwarts Express

I draw cartoons for The Los Angeles Times about issues related to California and the Southland (metro Los Angeles).

This week: Construction for high-speed rail through the Central Valley is supposed to start in July. But the state of California still hasn’t purchased any of the land along the route. How will the train get from one city to the next? Magic.

Los Angeles Times Cartoon: Waiting

I draw cartoons for The Los Angeles Times. This week we look at the possible imminent conclusion to the long wait LA commuters have endured until their Metro system finally makes it all the way to Los Angeles International Airport.

Some people I showed this to asked why I depicted a woman instead of a man because you know, the “generic human” is a white male in his 50s (perhaps, in an editorial cartoon, wearing a hat). As readers know, I try to avoid such tired tropes as much as possible. Women take trains too.
