All I can speak on is NYC, and there is a reason Hochul sent in the National Guard to the Subways. There is a reason there are now units just for the Migrant shelters. There is a new task force for Menatlly Ill violent homeless. There is a reason stores are closing or locking up all the merchandise. I can't even go into a 7-11 and grab a soda in Brooklyn., I need to be buzzed in and tell them what I am getting. The only reason you would say things are not an issue is to serve YOUR political beliefs, and I can fucking guaruntee you you don't live near NYC. We emptied the prisons, stopped prosecuting many crimes and let people out with no cash bail. What did you think would happen.I guess unless you were sheltered, which you all probably were since most of you were just children if you were even born.
Either way, you guys are the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd, right?
I gave you the facts. Crime is down. And you guys are just saying “I feel like it is increasing.”
So there you go. You guys have all decided that you want to feel like crime is increasing, probably because it supports your political beliefs. There really isn’t anything left to say.

Because that’s what people want to see. It isn’t so much that the stats are being juked. It’s that there is a concerted effort to make everyone feel like crime is on the rise. People very intentionally post every video of shoplifting, petty theft, or any other crime they can on YouTube to give the appearance that crime is out of control. Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax all tell you crime is out of control, yet they somehow never mention the delta for crime rates once.
And a 24 hour news cycle that reports a lot of crime. And everyone in the suburbs is watching the fucking ID channel and other fear porn all the time. So they are hyper aware of the crime that does take place.
These things were always happening, and happening at greater rates. But everyone has a hyper awareness about so many more of the instances now because of social media and the internet in general.
Anyone who was a teen or adult in the 90s remembers just how much more dangerous it was, and how we still didn’t give a fuck and just rode skateboards around town. These days, parents would never let their teenage children just go out with their friends all day without knowing where they were going and keeping tabs on them at all times. And it is much safer.

Being homeless is not a crime. Unless you are in the south and parts of the Midwest where they have essentially criminalized vagrancy.So how do I make sense of crime being down when it is not matching what I am actually seeing in the places I live work and spend my time ?
Exactly. There is nothing you can say because the facts don’t align with your feelings. So you post dumbass memes. Nothing of substance. Typical War room bullshit: “The world isn’t like it thought it was so I’m mad. Waaah.” That’s you.

I live in Wayne County and things are different. There's homeless where there was not before.
Being homeless is not a crime
There's stabbings and shootings in places that was unheard of like canton and Livonia. Same with robberies in canton and Livonia that were unheard of in the 90s
If you say it enough times, you'll eventually start to believe itCrime rates in general are down
Because some of us prioritize real life experiences and empirical evidence over confirmation bias from online data sources funded by corporate bankers and big tech media fact checkersSo then the question is: Why now? Why is everyone convinced that it’s so much worse now? It looks like crime in that locale spiked in 2016 and 2017.
Fox, Newsmax and OAN are liars. NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN said so and they wouldn't lie to us

Show me the data
If you can’t do that, you can shut up.

I lived in the 1990's, I was not sheltered, I was not an infant.cherry picked news headlines to back up your belief in a larger trend that doesn't statistically exist.
Is that the same federal bureau that mysteriously lost key evidence in the Epstein/Maxwell investigations?some of the data I posted was compiled by the FBI

When I see you clowns make statements like "things were more dangerous back then" or "Crime is down" I automatically know you are entirely full of shit. I don't have to go searching the internet for data and stats to figure things out
you bums really just like going in circles, I know you realize how stupid you look when you refuse to acknowledge the content of the posts you are replying to?And how were you compiling your crime statistics

Come move here. I want your children roaming the streets..
This is just 2000 to present day. They go back even further for an even more stark contrast.
You can take that data, put it in Excel, make a line graph, and see which way it generally trends.
