lol. dude provides "data" for the first part of this year and one year previous. Notes there's an increase and blames the city for Lee's murder. If you go back several years, you'll see that the recent past is about the same (around 6 murders per 100,000). Turns out that 2022 had a lower than average # of murders in the first three months of 2022. In 2007, the murder rate was twice what it was in the last several years.
So I guess Mr. Leahy is getting good use of his "Statistical Cherry Picking for Dummies" book.
Apparently murder is not a problem until a member of the rentier class is affected.
