"The ideological movement that I favor triggered a rise in crime, so I'm going to minimize that rise in crime by comparing it to overall crime levels several decades ago, after I first denied the rise was occurring in the first place" https://www.denverpost.com/denver-homicides/ https://www.denverpost.com/denver-homicides/ (Murders increased sharply in 2020) https://www.mprnews.org/story/2021/07/27/violent-crime-surges-across-minnesota-with-record-murders https://www.mprnews.org/story/2021/07/27/violent-crime-surge... https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-divisions/mnjis/Documents/2020-Minnesota-Uniform-Crime-Report.pdf https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-divisions/mnjis/Documen... https://www.news10.com/news/ny-news/nypd-shootings-up-166-fueling-nyc-crime-surge/ https://www.news10.com/news/ny-news/nypd-shootings-up-166-fu... (shootings up 166%, totally not a big deal according to you) Like I always tell climate deniers, it's not the temperature, it's the rate of change that's the problem. The Earth was far hotter in the time of the dinosaurs, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem that it's getting hotter now. You sound like them, but with crime instead of climate. And 2019-2020 saw the sharpest increase in murders since the FBI began collecting stats in the 60s according to this article from CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/29/us/homicide-rise-us-report/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/29/us/homicide-rise-us-report/in... Since the article doesn't support your thesis, feel free to denounce it as right wing propaganda, like you've done elsewhere in this thread. That's totally what CNN and the AP are known for, right?
