New FBI stats show violent crime fell 3% from 2022 to 2023. Murder was down 11.6%, making it the biggest drop in 20 years.
@Madken65 And part of a much longer downward trend extending back to the early 1990s. No one knows for sure what fueled this decline.
And clearly not the horror and morass painted by T and JD
@MHS_Jenkins @Madken65 What are you referring to? I lived in CA and thought Harris had a nuanced approach that was if anything criticized for not being "tough". https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/1/23/18184192/kamala-harris-president-campaign-criminal-justice-record
@b4cks4w @MHS_Jenkins @Madken65
That was her job then. By all accounts she performed the objectives well.
The presidency is a different job, with different objectives, but feel she will do that one well too.
@Madken65 Absolutely not--nor does Harris's "tough on crime" approach seem necessary right now. We need better options all around.
