It was Biden's America that rolled back the bail requirements. That turned the big and small cities into festering shitholes of crime. The example in the OP is simply a very graphic example. Could you show us how? Here is the entire list to choose from, I didn't look at it, you may get lucky and prove me wrong.
Cant see the forest for the trees....huh?
In the era of wokeness gone insane... remember the BLM riots? Remember the stepping away of law enforcement? Remember the defund the police movement? Remember the cities that changed the bail requirements.. Remember the outcry when Trump threatened to send in the national guard. ALL the changes with the blessing of the current admin, they didn't have to write new regulations. Their minions all over the country went to work dismantling the legal system and crime skyrocketed. Now the national guard seems like a good idea.

Except, of course, crime is down compared to the previous administration. But do go on.

You keep saying crime is down but everyday the news is full of shootings and people walking out of stores with bags full of merchandise without paying. It is so bad stores are closing their doors. So where exactly is this crime lower?

So where exactly is this crime lower? How dare you use your own eyes and formulate an opinion on the state of the country. The proper way to think is to regurgitate your political parties narrative.

When we as voters realize the politicians in charge, whether Republicans or Democrats, can't and won't do anything to stop crime, then the discussion can commence. Unfortunately our social climate doesn't encourage discussion on matters of importance to the average citizen. The parties do encourage a certain amount of division which in turn creates a lot of haters. Lack of common sense and civility have taken their toll on our society. Just look at this forum for a perfect example. As to our current political situation. It's all about the money - for big business, and in turn the politicians.

Agree.
I found it hilarious to see Cyclist, of all people, complaining about how the people that don’t believe what he does are just a bunch of hate filled tools.
Somebody needs to hand that guy a mirror!🤣

You keep saying crime is down but everyday the news is full of shootings and people walking out of stores with bags full of merchandise without paying. It is so bad stores are closing their doors. So where exactly is this crime lower? It depends on the numbers you use and how you measure it. Violent crime rate is down from the covid era spike. It is down back to the 2019 rate for 2023. Property crime rate is decreasing as well. BUT, shoplifting is increasing in most major cities. It is down in some areas from the pandemic increase, but still above 2019 numbers. It is also becoming more common among the middle class. You also need to realize the crime rate is incidents per 100,000 and news reporting in the internet age makes us aware of more incidents then we would have known about even 10 years ago. So reading it in the news every day may not mean it is worse, just more reporting due to the ease of the internet. also, the larger the population, the more crime without the rate being affected. But shoplifting gets worse every year and that will likely continue. It is the most underreport and under prosecuted crime there is. Very little risk for the reward for most crooks. I remember when I first got into retail, we accepted 1% loss to shoplifting and internal theft of some kind as normal. 70% was employee theft, the rest shoplifting. I read an article a few years ago that 1.5% was the norm for just shoplifting and I bet most retailers are looking at closer to 2% today.

So where exactly is this crime lower? If you stop arresting and incarcerating people for committing crimes, then by that measure "crime is down". Victims of crime may have a slightly different perspective. And that may explain why stores are closing and businesses are getting out of batshit commie lib districts. That or "racism".

If you don't arrest or take crime reports...how can you measure crime?

They refuse to admit reality and continue to spew lies and leftist propaganda.

The problem is anyone that disagrees with you, you immediately call them a maga cultist. You consider half of the country cultists. You need therapy or maybe someone could hug you and tell you everything is going to be ok.
