Today, we’re going to talk about a shocking, mind boggling, utterly amazing development in crime statistics in the U.S.
Now, to set the stage for what we’re about to talk about, let’s just review how crime rates actually increased under the previous administration which was run by people who sympathize and support the types of district attorneys that decriminalize shoplifting and let people out of jail with no cash bail requirement even for incidents such as assault and rape.
Crime rates spiked even though that administration kept telling us otherwise (while conveniently leaving out that fewer and fewer cities were actually reporting their crime statistics to the federal government…).
Now, though? It’s a very different situation. Travis Gillmore writes,
The first year of President Donald Trump’s second term saw historic reductions in violent crimes, while federal arrests soared by 100 percent, according to the FBI.
To give further detail:
Murder rates fell by 20 percent nationwide, the largest decline on record, according to statistics released by the FBI on Jan. 22.
Four of the top 10 most wanted fugitives were captured, matching the number detained over the previous four years.
Approximately 1,800 gangs and other criminal organizations were disrupted, a 210 percent increase from the previous year, and more than 2,000 kilograms (about 4,400 pounds) of fentanyl—enough of the deadly opioid to kill more than one-third of the U.S. population—were seized.
That is a lot of police work.
And if it takes criminals, especially violent criminals off of the streets, I think we can all agree that that is a good thing.
It’s amazing how, when the government actually enforces laws to protect their citizens, crime rates go down.
I know that might be a shocking statement to some readers, particularly if you’ve been raised on a diet of the legacy mainstream media, but it is the truth.
And it’s worth noting that the people who were able to bring crime rates down were people legally allowed to carry a firearm.
Do you think that is a coincidence? I don’t.
