[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This "don't listen to people who say crime is down" idea seems a little much -- even horrific crimes don't mean that overall crime/even overall violent crime can't be down. No one is claiming crime has been ERADICATED, so I don't see how any given shooting is supposed to somehow prove that crime is dropping. I'm not trying to minimize crime or suggest that it's not bad, I'm just saying, I don't think it's particularly helpful to say that our feelings or worries about crime mean that the numbers are invalid. [/quote] Big celebrations about crime dropping from people who denied (or lied) about crime rising and are completely incurious as to why it skyrocketed 2021-2023. [/quote] I'm not advocating a celebration over the crime rate dropping from last year's highs, I'm just saying, the fact that there is still crime doesn't mean that it's not true that the crime rate is dropping.
