How the area has changed

I currently live in MoCo and I see large pickup trucks with Impeach Trump and I am a Veteran stickers, so there's that.

There are lots of Burglaries in north Potomac the victims are often asian. Are they bigots if they have an issue with increased crime ?

Crime is up since when exactly? Be specific. Here’s a chart of the last 42 years which pretty clearly shows that it’s down.

So much for that argument huh OP?
Nah dude what's up is media sources. When you were a kid there weren't 5,000 local blogs and internet sites blowing dogwhistles 24/7 and there wasn't social media. The crime isn't up your input overload is.

When OP was a kid, the county was mostly white and US-born. That's what's up with the OP's perception.

so are you saying not white and foreign born are good? Odd how you can celebrate demographic shifts

I'm saying that there are people who base their assessment of an area's crime rate on the area's demographics, rather than on the area's crime rate.

And I live in the Wheaton / Glenmont area so many white dcumers are afraid of. Plenty of big pickups here.

This chart is shocking when you consider the population explosion in MoCo since 1974 (when the chart begins). In those years MoCo went from mostly rural (hence the pickup trucks with shotgun racks) to mostly urban/suburban.

I live in DC and drive a pickup with a shotgun rack.

They perceive a crime increase because they are victims. That’s normal.

Burglaries are down.

MoCo and Maryland in general both suck.

Not in the White House.

I see pickup trucks every day. Tons of them. Of course, they are being driven by Brown people, so OP thinks they must be on their way to criming.

Crime is down. That's just an empirical and statistical fact. It doesn't mean crime doesn't exist, but rather that demographic shifts have not led to increased crime, is only surprising if you are racist.

This chart would be more helpful if it was labeled by year.

woke prosecutors dripping charges or getting defendants to plea to much less serious crimes.
