You shared data from 3 cities. Your argument was that violent crime and crime in general is down across the country. So your information is actually irrelevant.

I gave that intentionally because I knew what obfuscation would be used. It's been the same for 15 years on here. It's nothing novel.

A thread about specific murders in Democrat-run Chicago doesn't exactly represent a data set or the country as a whole.

it's one, major example. If crime is down in big cities (where crime is most common), it's a leading indicator otherwise.

I mean we do have overall data to defend my point, but I knew what NPC talking points you'd reply with, as they're the same ones used for the 15-20 years I've been proving people wrong about this exact topic on this site (it's a pet project of mine, along with the Satanic Panic , as I'm an 80s/90s Xennial)
