Then why is crime rising in rural and red states?

Hm?

Never get an answer for that one just obfuscation and avoidance.[/quote]

Sure, there are red states that show crime.

In what parts of those states is the crime located? Which cities? And what is the dominant political party in charge of the areas the crime is occurring. Look state by state and you’ll get a better picture. It’s blue cities.[/quote]
Alaska has the highest homicide rate n the USA. What part of Alaska is run by these mythical soft on crime liberals?[/quote]

That is counting suicides. It’s depressing as fk up there in the winter and men are much more effective at committing suicide than women. Anyway, strip those out and then compare the actual violent crime stats. [/quote]

More lies. Homicide /= muder.

“  the highest murder rate in the US is Missouri, with a murder rate of 18 murders per 100,000. The third state with the most murders is South Carolina, at 17.4 homicides per 100,000, while Arkansas comes as the fourth state with the highest murder rate, with a rate of 16.1. The fifth and sixth states with the highest murder rates are Tennessee, at 14, and Alaska, at 12.3”

Those damn liberal nutjobs in South Carolina!!

You can’t explain how liberal policies lead to higher crime when California has a lower murder rate than Missouri and Arkansas.

If it were liberal policy at the root then why would San Fran, Boston, NYC etc have lower rates than cities in red states?[/quote]

Yeah, you’re right.

St. Louis has the highest murder rate.

Except the residents there vote blue.

Again, it’s majority blue cities and voters with these insane murder rates.

And right now progressive criminal justice policies are making them more dangerous because there are no strict consequences. People get away with what they can. No amount of your infantalizing, consequence lowering, restorative justice stuff will change that. It’s pretty simple.[/quote]

Criminal Justice System is negotiated at the State not city level. It's your Republican policies at work that bring poverty and crime to your cities vs. major cities in Blue states.[/quote]

I’m not some dyed in the wool Republican. I vote Democrat. I get that we need a social safety net. We need funding for public schools.

I’m very centrist in many ways.

But really, and I know it’s a sexy topic because even John Legend and like Kim Kardashian have advocated for it, but progressive criminal justice policies like no bail, or less impetus to prosecute quality of life crimes, or lower penalties for car jacking as dc tried to do, or letting speeders with unlimited speeding tickets keep their licenses are bad policies. Crime is going up and it’s this weak and soft on crime stuff to blame. Yes, does income inequality contribute? Obviously, however a prime driver, and as partly evidenced by the sky rocketing crime rates since George Floyd 2020 inspired criminal justice reforms are that you’re just seeing penalties lowered all over the country in response and a corresponding rise in crime.

Organized shoplifting, car jackings up, it’s all because liberal policies basically advocate for more “compassionate alternatives to incarceration”. It’s not fking rocket science. If a liberal da declines to prosecute 67% of cases in 2022 like in dc these criminals are back out knowing they can commit crime with impunity. No consequences or weak consequences is morw crime.[/quote]
