Dissolving Failed Cities: Ohio Needs to Revoke Cincinnati’s Charter and Break Up the Crime-Ridden City

Cincinnati is a failed city that is no longer capable of home rule – e.g. self-governance. The state of Ohio has an obligation to revoke its charter, disincorporate it, and permanently dissolve the Queen City as it now exists. It can be done, if the Ohio legislature has the will and if the people of Ohio are repulsed enough by what Cincinnati has become.

The images coming out of Cincinnati following the brutal mob beating of the woman identified simply as “Holly” are awful. Sadly, in this era of failed cities full of feral criminals, these pictures are no longer shocking. But what is shocking is the despicable way that Cincinnati’s leadership rallied around the attackers and sought to vilify Holly as being an instigator who deserved her near fatal beating. In a time when Democrats have widely embraced “defund the police,” and with “Soros prosecutors” being elected on the promise of not incarcerating hardened criminals, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that Cincinnati’s leadership is not hiding their support for hardened criminals, including Holly’s attackers.

Infamously, Cincinnati’s woke Police Chief Terri Theetge was the first to race to the defense of Holly’s assailants, stating that, “Social media, the posts that we’ve seen, does not depict the entire incident. That is one version of what occurred. At times social media, and mainstream media, and their commentaries, are misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event.” The police chief didn’t have a word of sympathy for Holly being beaten while unconscious, as Ms. Theetge angrily lashed out at those on social media who condemned Holly’s beating. The picture below is “one version of what occurred.”

This Daily Wire piece (“‘It’s Pretty Disgusting’: Cincinnati Police Union Head Bashes ‘Victim Shaming’ After Mob Attack” recaps some of the most atrocious statements and actions of other Cincinnati leaders, as they too rallied around Holly’s attackers, and sought to blame Holly herself for having her head kicked while she lay there unconscious. It’s important to remember that actual video shows Holly doing nothing provocative at all, she was simply trying to stop an escalating brawl.

• City Council President Pro Tem Victoria Parks wrote on Facebook that Holly “begged for that beat down!”

• Vice Mayor Jan Michele Kinsey condemned Holly for provoking her own beat down, “We condemn the violent actions of the instigator(s) of the fight as well as the violent actions of those who responded to the provocation.”

The head of Cincinnati’s police union expressed his utter disgust at how the city has become a crime-ridden city with a governing class that will not fight crime.

Progressive judges in the city have allowed criminals to walk free on small bonds in recent years, according to [Fraternal Order of Police President Ken] Kober. One of the men arrested in connection with the Cincinnati mob attack had been out of custody for just weeks after posting $400 for bond in a case in which he was arrested on felony weapons and stolen property charges.

Per this same article, the city’s police department is understaffed by several hundred officers, which is logical in its own disturbing way. A city whose leadership is pro-crime and vilifies crime victims does not need a properly staffed police force.

Ken Kober told Scott Jennings that with judges refusing to keep Cincinnati criminals off the streets, “If the Mayor, the City Manager, and the Chief, if they can't figure it out or they won't figure it out, then they do need to be replaced, absolutely."

Cincinnati FOP President Ken Kober says cops are "DISGUSTED" as judges continue to let criminals walk:

Yes, Cincinnati’s leadership needs to be replaced, and the State of Ohio needs to make it happen.

At the same time, U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio is threatening to have federal funds cut off to Cincinnati if it doesn’t immediately take action to start protecting the civil rights of all its citizens.

“Sen. Bernie Moreno threatens to cut federal funds to Cincinnati over bloody brawl” [The Hill – 8/01/2025]

“I’m going to go down there next week. I’m going to deliver them a letter. They’re going to have 30 days to put together a plan to protect the civil rights of all their citizens, regardless of their race,” Moreno said during an interview on “The Benny Show.”
“And if they don’t do that, I’m going to ask all the federal agencies to suspend federal funding of Cincinnati, which would kill me. Because Cincinnati is a great city. I want to help Cincinnati,” he added.

As I recently wrote at The Blaze in a piece titled Time to Redraw America’s Borders — Cities, Counties, and Beyond, “Where cities have collapsed...state governments should consider carving up failed urban zones and allowing them to reorganize under fresh charters. Let those areas be resettled under new leadership, new institutions, and new expectations.”

Baton Rouge can be an example for Cincinnati. With aid from the Louisiana state legislature, much of the city broke away to create the all-new city of St. George. Law-abiding areas within Cincinnati’s current boundaries should be able to start fresh with new borders and new city charters, just like St. George did in Louisiana.

The municipal secession movement already has its “Lexington and Concord moment” in Baton Rouge and St. George, Louisiana. Fueled by failing schools and rampant crime, a section of East Baton Rouge Parish began its long, litigative battle for secession. In 2024, its work paid off. The parish successfully seceded from the consolidated county government, forging the new city of St. George, Louisiana, which is now the fifth most populous city in the state.

What would it take to revoke Cincinnati’s charter? The answer is simple – the existing legislature just needs to take action. Cities are creations of the state, and the state has the power to legislatively react. Republicans have super-majorities exceeding 60% control of both houses of the Ohio legislature, 65 of 99 House representatives, and 24 of 35 Senators. Beyond the power of drafting legislation to strip Cincinnati of its charter, with its Republican supermajorities, the legislature can even put a Constitutional amendment on the ballot for citizens to vote on.

After the state strips the city of its charter, functioning areas of Cincinnati could be re-incorporated as new municipalities. Meanwhile, the state could run the core city until such time as it is fully reconstructed and able to function at some level of home rule.

But Cincinnati as it is currently constituted has forfeited the right to govern itself. A city with leaders who rally around criminals and vilify their crime victims must be disincorporated and broken up.

What's so amazing about this story is how much more law enforcement in Cincinnati cares about convincing people that the victims DESERVED to be nearly beaten to death than condemning the savage violence.

We're witnessing insanity. https://t.co/drOJAu7mrQ

2) The problem with saying Cincy needs to lose its right to govern itself is that the country is full of blue cities which are just as bad. Are we going to strip all of them of the vote?

I didn't say it did. It changes things though. If she was a belligerent and started the fight, she should be charged with assault. Charge the psychos who beat her down with aggravated assault, however that works in Ohio.

If not, then charge the assailants with attempted murder.

29 4 "Sources say" crime is actually down in D.C. I wonder if the same is true for Cincy?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr.

A lot of the crime is down is simply handwaving off a lot of charges in blue areas. For example, felony aggravated assault with a weapon gets charged as a misdemeanor simple assault that is pled out with no jail time. Burglaries and other property crimes are simply not reported and so on.

The whole Hollywood and tv series bullshit about people that just snap is not reality. What is reality is that you have people that are habitual criminals as a way of life with a huge number of prior charges that somehow never resulted in serious prison time. And those charges escalate over time until someone is raped, murdered, or beaten into a pulp.

The asshole who beat that Cincinnati woman silly and skipped off to Atlanta is an example of these floating pieces of shit. These criminals migrate from city to city staying with cuz and friendz when the heat comes down and simply commit crimes wherever they go.

For them, it is a way of life and they simply are not going to rehabilitate and go straight unless locked away until they are too old to get up to much violence

31 I'm not a fan of Cincinnati, but in terms of big cities it's got a lower crime rate than many. It's far from the worst city in the country. Cleveland is worse, IIRC.

If you're have the state take over Cincy because of crime, then states will be taking over an awful lot of cities. Worst crime city in the country? Memphis, TN. If you look at the cities with worse crime rates, a lot of them are in red states. So they should be easy to clean up or take over, right?

This Cincy story will fade away in a few weeks. It already has, to a certain degree. What happened to the guy who was beaten? All we hear about now is the woman. She is a much more sympathetic victim. She truly didn't do anything to provoke an attack.

On the local news, it was reported that they had new video where the "n" word was used. Reporter said it was unclear who used the word. A quick snippet was shone and there was a word bleeped out. Then they showed more video with plenty of additional bleeped out words, presumably as they were cussing at each other. I think the purpose of framing it this way was so the viewer could easily assume the "n" word was repeated often by the white guy. That's the state of our "news" media.

Back when Univ of Chicago was doing serious research, they figured out that about 8-10,000 hardened criminals, most of them gangbangers, committed something like 70-80 percent of all violent crime in Chicago and surroundings.

50 I think a lot of people are missing an important point. There is so much wealth transfer to people that don't work, as well as so much outright theft of budget money, that major cities don't have a fraction of the police services that they would need. They rely on people behaving.

Now, because of bad policies, we are moving from a high trust society to a low trust society, which means that people are less likely to treat their fellow man properly, compounding the problem.

I have a feeling that many of these politicians are trying to talk their way out of these situations, because they don't have the resources to fix them, and sadly, by not appropriately responding, they are letting the situation get worse.

Gotta admit, Pete Hegseth has demonstrated how great it is when you have a leader who looks like they could join the people he leads out on the battlefield. The energy and vigor are inspiring.

Conversely, when you see some overweight male or female Police/Fire chief or military leader being a squish on standards (whether it's subordinates' behavior or enforcing policies/law), hard to deny that their inability to control their own behavior is affecting their ability to enforce standards on those they lead and/or those they have been hired to protect us from.

94 Per this same article, the city’s police department is understaffed by several hundred officers, which is logical in its own disturbing way. A city whose leadership is pro-crime and vilifies crime victims does not need a properly staffed police force.
++++
Doesn't need, doesn't want, can't maintain even if it did.

As much as I am not police booster, these policies make it a much more significant problem. As corrupt, indifferent, lazy, petty and tyrannical ass-covering mutual defense societies as many police departments are, they can be nothing *but* that under these conditions. Nobody good - or even just mediocre and reasonably honest - wants an impossible job. When the bad guys get busted just to have some DA or judge walk them back out onto the street, it's demoralizing to anyone who *does* want to do the job.

So anyone potentially even decent at the job quits. What you're left with is an understaffed department populated with time-marking old timers waiting for their pensions and corrupt dickheads who like hassling people and/or getting ahead through insider crime.

It will destroy the department for generations. These cities have a 20-year reform problem now.

The stupid school to prison pipeline thesis simply meant that criminals were allowed to run free in schools and then continued those criminal patterns as adults as a way of life.

The real answer is that Scotus needs to get federal courts out of schools permanently to allow communities to reassert control--by expelling the 3-5 percent assholes and let the criminal justice system give them short sharp shocks early on before the yutes begin a spiral of escalating crimes.

125 The municipal secession movement already has its “Lexington and Concord moment” in Baton Rouge and St. George, Louisiana. Fueled by failing schools and rampant crime, a section of East Baton Rouge Parish began its long, litigative battle for secession. In 2024, its work paid off. The parish successfully seceded from the consolidated county government, forging the new city of St. George, Louisiana, which is now the fifth most populous city in the state.

It is always a huge fight because the parts that want to split off are invariably the good parts that represent meaningful tax revenue.

This has happened several times in Colorado, as bits and pieces broke themselves off of Aurora or successfully fought annexation by existing cities by incorporating as new towns and cities out of unincorporated county areas.

There is precedent in other states. Not sure about Ohio law but if such splitting is possible there, those desiring it should attempt to capitalize.

A Wyoming sheriff is using a controversial message to try to recruit new deputies from nearby Denver, and the tactic has ruffled feathers in the Mile High City.

And their narrative won't matter for dick-all once it gets to that point. Urban street warfare is nasty business. Your narrative doesn't count when raiders are crossing kill zones set up by defenders and everyone is both highly mobile with good geographical knowledge.

218 Mentioned this before, but the former Denver police chief did a 'state of crime in the city' presentation a few years ago, and he said that most crime was committed in 5 hot zones, by the same people. He couldn;t stop them if the courts kept releasing them.

I would imagine it is the same in most cities - known crime hub spots, the same people doing it over and over again. All it would take is the will to arrest and prosecute them to the fullest extent, and keep doing that with whoever replaces them.

Giuliani and Bratton did it years ago.
The system isn't broken, it's been abandoned.

About five years ago? the city of Richmond, California did some reach and discovered that seven people were responsible for the majority of violent crime in their city.
Solution?
Let's give them money!
We will set them up with an account and every time they are arrested we subtract a certain amount from their account.

220 192 There's a conversation on X on how rare it is that a white victim is speaking out. They mentioned something called the CRS - Community Relations Service, a division of DOJ created by the Civil Rights Act. There job was to, apparently, coerce white crime victims to not upset the narrative and to instead talk about forgiveness and gun control or whatever to deflect from the true villains, the perps and the policies that led to the crime. Trump tried to defund this division, but needs Congress to change the law. Chris Rufo is part of the convo, I forget who else.
Posted by: Chuck Martel

Yep. Nasty pieces of work that the DoJ needs to rip out root and branch. They show up anywhere to prevent the public from knowing things until much later. Trans girl mass murderer in Nashville is an example of the DoJ coverup shit of CRS.

All under the justification that the public should not see what a whack job bigoted and awful pos that person was. Because they might put trans in a bad light.

Yeah, but on the other hand, I understand that if the white guy used the N-word, it would have been perfectly understandable for the black guy to throw the first punch.

I don't like any of them, but a chaotic system of "deserving" doesn't work.

It doesn't matter if somebody punched you first, you and 8-10 of your friends jumping on the guys head makes it into something wholly different.

This is, in some respect as vigilante as what the liberals hate. Well "the guy learned his lesson" is equivalent to "I guess that's one more guy that won't be robbing anyone."

They don't like when people "take the law into their own hands" (i.e. mete punishment and consequence on their own) except when angry PoC mobs do it because they have a "legitimate gripe" (As if simply wanting to live among less crime is not legitimate).

This again is where the progs only demand civility where they want it.

The Democrat Party power is derived from phony voters, casting phony votes. I believe the people of these large cities (and shitty states) are either resigned to bad government, and simply don't vote, or they don't exist at all.

230 Poor Holly, I guess she thought the mob that was beating the guy on the ground would not attack a woman. And there is no possible justification for them to do that. If they were determined to keep beating the dude they could have dragged her out of the way and a couple of them could have held her out of the way while they went back to the dude, it was just blood lust for them to attack her.

Even if there was provocation for them to be beating the dude. After he was down, Holly simply tried to be a shield, thinking the mob would not attack an unarmed woman and then might realize they had done enough to the dude and should disperse. Anyone who would try to justify the mob attacking her should be in a mental institution.

One could armchair QB and say no one should expect civilized behavior from a mob and Holly was reckless, but the mob should still be condemned and not excused for attacking her.

But the order itself - of course - exhibits the constitutional derailment that is now the starting point for disputes. The court says its ruling will prevent "long disputes between the Executive and Judiciary over difficult, contentious issues regarding the courts' power to control foreign policy or prosecutions".

WTFFF? In what make-believe constitution- and common sense- history-free world do the courts have any say whatsoever over foreign policy? There are no "difficult disputes". There's no dispute. There's simply judicial aggrandizement, lawlessness, and constitutional evisceration.

This mob attack happened right smack in the middle of the nicest part of downtown where all the entertainment and restaurants were.

On that night, there were TWO major events going on downtown (a ball game and the jazz festival) and when the bars closed there wasn't a cop to be found.

WHILE a literal mob of over 100 people were roaming around that entertainment district.

The crack epidemic swept through the city, and the local law enforcement had no idea how to deal with it, so some excesses may have occurred. The feds swooped in and used it as an excuse to impose control over the police. The same story played out in New Orleans and countless other cities.

The only thing it accomplished, as far as I can tell, was handcuffing the locals and letting certain elements of society get further out of hand. Oh, and appoint administrators to oversee the process and make bank for doing next to nothing.

276 It all comes back to Marxism and the left's advancement of ideology.

Marxism says that we could all have the same amount of stuff if we'd just follow Marx's plan. And that means that people who resist Marx's plan just don't want to share.

They're the problem. So any system that resists equal distribution as a behavior, is corrupt and needs to be torn down.

Also, it is right to "teach" the people who benefit from the system (the end goal of any type of governance) the "consequence" of their decisions. So crime is justified by benefactor's resistance to Marx.

We suffer much more from an entanglement with Marx more than an entanglement with a Church (authority/power).

The Kern Commission back in the late 60's blamed the violent riots (as did ole Mitt Romney's dad--governor of MI at the time) on racism, police brutality, lack of jobs, etc. instead of criminal thugs that liked living a life of crime. Basically the idiotic idea of root causes have to be addressed before you take out the criminal trash. As a result, crime across the US is much greater than in the early 60's, adding criminal illegals has made it worse, and the entire justice system in urban areas has essentially collapsed. Politicians have made a bad situation worse by their pandering to the criminal class to prevent riots in their minds. So we have a cold civil war going on where the law does not apply in urban areas.

I'm OK with that. I also think some of the thugs who beat on the white (?) guy should also be charged. At some point, a guy is beaten, and continuing to beat on him when he's clearly done -- even if he started the fight -- turns into attempted murder.

And I think it was a woman who first hit the lady who was beaten.

It is an on-going escalation.

Dissolve the city and put the national guard in. The current leadership is shown the door. City is under martial law. You go to full suppression of street crime. You also have state authorities running essential city services.

In six months, all the criminal elements have either learned a lesson, beet arrested or moved away. You reincorporate the city under new management. In a year you hold elections, and you start to wind state involvement down. But you make clear - either city officials do their jobs, or they get a state takeover.

I guarantee that pissed South Park writers off. I consider the South Park creators as much of assholes as Colbert--they only punch right. So brave, so cool. Sticking it to the man crap that went out with the sixties.

To show you where their sympathies lie, the lawyer friendz, Kevin Morris, of Hunter Biden has long been the primary lawyer for the show by brokering the original deal between the South Park creators and Comedy Central.

But that's impossible in today's political environment. There simply isn't going to be any significant movement to holding blacks to the same standards as everyone else. It hasn't been so in my lifetime, and has in fact only gotten worse. So prudent people need to plan accordingly.

It's why I tend to blow off posters here who are always on about how unsafe cities have become. The truth is that if you aren't buying drugs or hanging out in shitty neighborhoods, you're reasonably safe in most cities. Not perfectly safe, but not exposed to constant danger either.

Doesn't excuse anything. I hope these thugs get the book thrown at them. But they probably won't.

That they don't want to control crime as much as they want to control your access to Constitutional rights, really delineates the political vector of all this.

Merriweather has a lengthy criminal record and just weeks earlier, he was indicted on four felony charges related to stolen firearms. In 2009 he was convicted for aggravated robbery. I guess all of that was to support his five kids and budding education.

That's something a lot of people don't understand about Boston. It's a very ethnic city largely divided on historical neighborhoods based on waves of immigration.

A lot of people think Boston is racist. It is but so is everywhere. People in Boston didn't just discriminate against blacks, they discriminated against anyone outside their ethnic groups. Boston might not have invented the No Irish signs but they took it to an art form. And when the next wave of immigrants came it was their turn in the barrel.

Cincy-style "chili" sauce is close in style to old-style Italian spaghetti sauce. Today's Italian spaghetti sauce is generally much thicker and richer than it was back in the day. Why? Because Italians were generally poor and used water to thin the sauce to make more of it.

UK had something like that after the Bloody Code went into effect. In essence, it nipped criminals in the bud by death penalties and harsh penal conditions thus these yutes never got to create multi generational dysfunctional crime families.

The choice is incarcerate violent criminals until they are old and feeble or put them to death if you want to stop the cycle. Not treat them as victims of society.

Posted by: Braenyard
=========
People that value themselves and their wants over any societal restraining mechanisms might seem to be libertarian at first but it is really more that they want their own behavioral choices to not be bound by society or law. Thus libertines always turn left because only the left permits them the degree of personal autonomy that they want in exchange for giving the left power.

Funny thing is that when the left gets power, it always kills off the libertines because socialism as an economic system starts failing from the get go. Thus, no tolerance for anything other than what the State wants.

444 The chief flaw of Cincinnati governance is the 'Charterite' system...who gets to be on the City Council? THE TOP NINE vote-getters in a general election. There is NO representation by local entities (former independent towns & villages...until the city proper grew large to absorb them).

So, whoever can whistle up the biggest mob gets a seat of power, 'localized' opinions be damned. Before the 'white flight' of the 80's (triggered by a couple of nasty black-on-white riots), the city, more or less, worked.

Cincinnati is now a democrat fiefdom, complete with 'sanctuary' status for Invaders.

If you doubt this is a war against white Christians, tell us how many homosexual activists have gone into muslim-owned bakeries demanding homogamy cakes, and then gone to the secularist courts to sue the muslim-owned bakery that refused to make such a cake?

White people are a global minority (look it up if you doubt that). If we are so horrible and oppressive, then why are all these 3rd world non-whites so vigorous in their actions to invade white nations?

Why is every other culture allowed to be proud of their nations and traditions, but somehow white Christians are NEVER allowed to be proud of our traditions and culture without being compared to nazis and slave owners?

If you cannot figure out from objective analysis of history that whites and Christians are being attacked, then you will deserve what will be coming for you.

447 As a resident of cincinnati area suburb who was in the area a day before this occured, I've been following this since the start. Tired of the misinformation and idiotic assumptions. First of all, this happened about 6 blocks from the stupid music festival, no indications anyone was at the festival. It is in the central business district, not a terrible ghetto, many people go to bars and restaurants in this area.
Seriously tired of hearing about the slap (it wasn't a punch, more like a soccer slap) that "started it" When the initial arrests were made and first two were arraigned, defense attorney brought up this slap. The investigating detective told the judge he had significant amount of video from surveillance cameras that showed that was NOT the first physical aggresion, that's why white dude wasn't arrested. Many people, including commenting on this site, seem to think the cell phone video conveninently starting at slap actually tells the story. There is absolutely no evidence the woman was aggresive toward anyone. This is at least the 5th time this calendar year that groups of blacks have attacked whites. I gues they all slapped them first or called them the "n word".

yep. many people think the "incident" began with the slap and that there were only the white guy and Holly involved. I have listened to the local guy, Bill Cunningham, who has had the head of the FOP on. There is NO proof that the n word was used, there were other white people that were jumped and the beat down was well on prior to the "slap". Holly was on today and stated the jumpers were the ones using anti white language and the police were disinterested in the victims with one male officer leaning against his cruiser with his arms folded. No city personnel call for an ambulance and Holly ended up ubering home due to fear of further escalation

452 (For those who missed his comment....)

"As a local to Cincy, I can tell you the issue is way worse than you even know.

This mob attack happened right smack in the middle of the nicest part of downtown where all the entertainment and restaurants were.

On that night, there were TWO major events going on downtown (a ball game and the jazz festival) and when the bars closed there wasn't a cop to be found.

WHILE a literal mob of over 100 people were roaming around that entertainment district." --GHBucky

THIS is the other worrisome development. Just like violent flashmobs have decided they can run raids in Chicago's most expensive retail district, these thugs were in what used to be the safe, well-to-do downtown tourist district.

This is NOT about staying out of the bad part of town: this is about the Bad Part of Town's denizens invading the GOOD Part of Town.
