[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo has been circling the drain for 20 years. Its momentum is increasing as it gets closer to the bottom.[/quote]

Crime was higher 20 years ago..[/quote]

The benchmark shouldn't be the worst crime rates.   The benchmark should be the lowest crime rates.  In 2013 we only had 8 homicides.   [/quote]

It's disingenuous to say we have been going down for 20 years we have not.  2013 was a dip but this year isn't even a spike, it's only a spike compared to the lowest years. Crime is high everywhere, crime here is low in comparison... in comparison to the rest of the US, in comparison to most years in the last 20 years. [/quote]
This is pathetic. Would you ever say that anti-trans bigotry is rising everywhere in America and therefore rising anti-trans bigotry is tolerable in Montgomery County? But somehow you think it’s okay to say this about crime. It says a lot about you and your standards. [/quote]

Not that PP but there is a huge difference between rising crime is bad and rising crime is a direct result of recent Moco policies. The fact that crime is rising everywhere and MoCo doesn’t seem to have adopted significant changes with respect to violent crime are both relevant to considering posters claims that things are going to hell because MoCo is too liberal.

Your logic is flawed because crime is not rising everywhere. Furthermore, the most closely analogous jurisdiction to Montgomery County is Fairfax and they not only have lower crime overall but even if crime is rising, it is rising also at a lower rate. Violent crime in Montgomery County has exploded. Aggravated assaults have nearly doubled since 2020.[/quote]

Really? Crime is down in Tysons corner? No it’s not.

Keep lying, there are some ignorant people that might buy it.[/quote]
Are you okay that Montgomery County has significantly more bias crimes than Fairfax and that these crimes are rising in Montgomery County faster?[/quote]
