55 year old here (26 year Army Vet)... The country definitely has changed in the last 10 - 15 years.

Sadly I'd definitely dissuade my 7 year old son from joining the military and becoming a 4th-gen Soldier if this crap keeps up. (Self admit a subtle brag, I had a kiddo on purpose at 48...)

I think we'll right this ship, but it's gonna take a lot of work!! My wife (no pics) is confident also, but we have to not back down!

No, And I still don’t. I might have 30 years left, and I think she’ll be standing in 2052. Underwater, according to Al Gore, but fine in all other respects.

I will respond in this thread but I need to gather my thoughts. I fit this demographic perfect.

So.. so your evidence to support this is an anecdotal piece about one crime?

Jesus.

Instead, your evidence to support this doesn't even suggest that crime is not lower today.

Are you dumb? A documentary is the definition of anecdotal evidence.

Well done.

We're now relying on documentaries instead of published statistics.



America, by historical standards, is living in the safest time period ever. A documentary doesn't change that fact when it's corroborated by the fact that countries across the world have experienced the same decline in crime.

The 1980s and 1990s were much more dangerous than today.

Statistics are embedded in the documentary.

BS...it's just not being reported by the MSM because it makes the progressive politicians that they cover for look bad. Liberal DA's will not come down hard on criminals for the exact same reason...it makes their policies look like the failures that they are. Ask any Law enforcement officer if crime isn't out of control and if any attempt for them to do their job is not frowned upon by the left. The number of police leaving their jobs now in many cities is staggering, and it's because they are not allowed to fight crime anylonger!


I know you want to believe something to confirm your bias, but Google is your friend if you care to know the what the numbers really are

I was pretty sure we would. Didn't have all the details of how it would play out, but a lot of it I was dead right on. That's what scares me. Because I know I'm right about a lot more to come and that's stuff to be truly fearful of. But I've been ready for decades. At this point it's just frustration they're still trying to drag this out longer.

Shoplifting is basically a sport (virtually no longer a crime) in many large cities. In Seattle, one store owner called the police 599 times for theft over a 19 month period. Amazingly, only 8 instances involved prosecution.


I don’t think people are worried about petty theft, but rather violent crime, which is significantly lower than it was 30 years ago in the US

I'm a bit of an optimist regarding this subject. I know there are millions of patriots out there. Those patriots are doing their very best to raise their children to be patriots and proud, moral, principled members of this society. I say this with truth because I am one of them. Hard times make strong men. I don't think we are there yet, but it won't be long before we begin this nation's finest hour.

What is going on is straight up evil. Kids will never know normalcy with a Dem in office.

All the Illegal Immigration the last 40 years sealed our fate. It’s been over. We are willingly letting our country be invaded. Greatest Trojan Horse ever. And we allowed it to happen.

Age 56 here. I am praying for the fall of our current government. We need a reset and not a leftist reset. Time for you baws to take action.

I did not see this.

When they can tell us that a man who thinks he is a woman is a woman.

When they can tell us that higher prices are good for everybody.

When they tell us what to think.
