And over 40 percent are still fearful when they’re at home. No place to hide? 52% fear they're in danger every day - even at home! - Study Finds kind of makes a lot of the crazy talk around guns. CC, crime etc make more sense.
Of course, thanks to liberals nobody's safe anymore. Under the Biden administration, violent crime continues to rise across the country, particularly in cities controlled by Democrats, such as Baltimore and Chicago. Regardless of this alarming trend, neither President Biden nor the leaders of his Democratic Party have taken significant steps to combat increasing crime, or even shown serious concern about the uptick. Following the May 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, and the subsequent ludicrous push to defund police departments, violent crime hasn’t let up. Some mayors are struggling to walk the line of supporting police officers while also caving to the pressures of vocal progressives who push to defund and reform police agencies. Some cities have reversed the decision to lower funding to police. And in many cities, morale among officers has plunged so low that a June survey of nearly 200 police departments by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) shows a 45 percent increase in retirement rates and nearly a 20 percent increase in resignations. President Biden’s lack of commitment to America’s law enforcement community — which he relies upon — is causing officers to quit because, understandably, many no longer want to do the job. The result may be that neighborhoods are more unsafe and Americans are more likely to become crime victims. In many ways, America is effectively less safe than it was five years ago, and the group to blame for this unfolding tragedy is Democrats who have advocated for severely limiting police budgets, effectively taking away resources or officers to combat violent criminals.
I’m assuming that’s from an article you didn’t cite. But Chicago’s murder rate is down so far this year from last. I didn’t look at Baltimore.
Statistics and reality vs media amplification. If you watch nonstop news you would think you can’t go outside without being robbed or shot. Then there’s Home invasions. Hint, being involved in crime greatly raises your odds. Shocking I know.
In the US I’ve lived in Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Charlotte, and Orlando and I’m still alive.
Yes, violent crime increased in the US in 2021. If that's Biden's fault, was the increase in violent crime in 2020 Trump's fault? I'd really be curious your answer. thanks
don’t forget about this guy. Trump calls for homeless to be put in camps in first DC speech since leaving the White House | Daily Mail Online
Not sure why this got the down votes. Urban areas where people are on top of each other and huge cities like Chicago dominate the population percentage. My guess is folks on land in the burbs feel safer. Am I missing something?
