Apparently people are stealing catalytic converters like there's no tomorrow. Some people have been literally killed trying to stop people stealing it from their car. Mobs are literally going into malls and basically stealing everything in one specific store. Homeless people are killing people, shoving people into running trains and in a lot of cases the victims are women. Package theft (porch pirates) is at an all time high. Mass Murders (gunning down multiple people) is happening every day in the united states. But yeah I guess other than that, it's really not happening.

  The talking points of people who deny reality are wild. Is CNN a bastion of conservatism? >More than two-thirds of the country's 40 most populous cities saw more homicides last year than in 2020, according to a CNN analysis of police department data. >Ten of those cities recorded more homicides in 2021 than any other year on record. Those are Philadelphia; Austin, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis; Portland, Oregon; Memphis, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; Milwaukee; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Tucson, Arizona. Minneapolis tied its previous record number of homicides, with 97 in the years 1997 and 2021. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/03/us/homicide-rate-us-statistics/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/03/us/homicide-rate-us-statistic...

    That’s one (which the article already talked about and you didn’t even claim), now do the rest of your claims.

  One person being pushed in front of a train is a tragedy. A million people dying of some respiratory disease is a statistic.

> Package theft (porch pirates) is at an all time high. People having easily carried valuable items unattended on their porch which is easily accessible to any random passerby for hours at a time is at an all time high. It used to be somewhat of a hassle to convince a delivery company to leave anything worth more than a few dollars anywhere there wasn't someone to sign for the delivery.
