Murder dropped 11.6% from 2022 to 2023, the largest single-year decline in the last 20 years. Property crime was also down overall, while motor vehicle theft and shoplifting rose.

    This is very obviously Democrat statistics that the FBI released to help Harris’ campaign. And the deep state communist liberals slacking off and not murdering enough. /s

      I had to laugh about how quickly those disappeared when gas prices went back down. I was at one gas station where someone had desperately tried to scratch it off - after it had been there for some time. I’m assuming that since no one touched it when gas prices were hitting a high in their cycle, the person that tried to scratch it off now that they were low was someone suffering BDS.

      Say…where are all the doom n’ gloom people, anyway? Inflation - down. Border crossings - down. Crime is down. Gas prices down. Oil extraction is way up, the stock market is hitting all-time-highs. Interest rates were just cut.

      I thought life under Biden was supposed to be some kind of miserable hellscape?

    Except for a small (local) uptick in 2020 or so, haven’t they been trending downwards for decades?

      Fake news is exactly what the Magoos will be saying… They’ll just make up some absolute nonsense to dismiss it like “they removed tracking violence in Mexico City and Venezuela from the US statistics to make it look better for the election!!”

      Okay, folks, listen, listen, it’s, it’s very simple, okay? People are talking, they’re saying, ‘Mr. Trump, the murder rate, it’s too low, it’s not what it used to be.’ And you know what? I agree. We used to have, back in the day — oh, the 70s, maybe the 80s, beautiful times, really tremendous times — we had so much, so much happening, people, and now… now, it’s just… nothing! Boring! What happened? Where did the murders go? I don’t know. Nobody knows. But when I’m elected, folks, let me tell you, we’re gonna bring them back. Big time.

      Now, now, people say, ‘Oh, Mr. Trump, why do you want more murders?’ And let me tell you something: it’s about jobs, okay? People don’t think about that. Murders? They need investigation. Cops? Gotta hire more cops. Jobs! Economy! It’s all connected, folks. Big brain stuff. Nobody thinks like me. And, and the murderers, some of them, very fine people, they need work too. They’re out of work. We’re gonna put 'em back in business, folks. You’ll see.

      So vote for me, we’re gonna do some, some tremendous things. More murders, more greatness, everyone wins. Except the people who get, uh, you know, but that’s okay, that’s okay. It’ll be, um, it’ll be something.

      So when you go to vote, remember: a vote for me is a vote for… well, let’s just say you’ll want to lock your doors. But it’ll be huge.

      Thank you, good night, and God bless hamburgers!

    Reports of a masked vigilante striking terror into the hearts of evildoers are completely fabricated. The reduced crime is the results of President Biden’s sound policies, this so called “Batman” doesn’t even exist

    Shouldn’t population statistics like this have an adjustment for population growth, like inflation for economic figures? Still a decline. Also would mean that the non-violent numbers like theft have grown even more.
