+1. I live in Arlington and crime is a real problem here. The criminals know that our leadership is soft on crime and that there is no real punishment for what they do. We have tons of stolen packages and cars broken into into my neighborhood. And we're not immune from gun violence, as the links above show. We even have a well-known gun store right in the heart of Clarendon.[/quote]

The crime is from all the low income housing and apartments that Arlington is approving for development/subsidizing. The bottom 40% of the income distribution commits more than 2/3rds of the violent crime. The top 40% of the income distribution only commits 18% of  the violent crime. If the income composition of the county changes, the crime rate changes with it. Combining this with criminal justice reforms that remove three strike laws for felonies and expunging Minors criminal records is a recipe for disaster. The reality of it is that most of the crime is committed by  an especially violent 1% of the population. Mandatory life sentences for violent criminals with prior felonies would reduce the crime rates by more than half. [/quote]

Just say black people, I know that's what you really wanna say. You're incredibly racist for posting these made up stats to disparage a race [/quote]
