QUESTION OF THE DAY.
If crime was reduced (Crimes per 1,000), in just 5 Democrat Run Large Metro's, (Chicago, NYC, LA, SF & Atlanta) which have less than US 45M of the 342M US Population (13.15%).
Would it reduce the US Crime Rate by over 60%, or even more?

Eg. CHICAGO CRIME RATES

#2 This is good news! It's sad that DC degenerated to the point that this became necessary, but it's the right move. Clean DC out.

#5 Reported crime in DC is high but it is down from this time in 2024 and the 2024 rate was down from the 2023 rate.

The number of homicides averaged over 400/yr from 1989 to 1996. This year may end up with below 200.

Carjacking was also especially bad in 2023 but has decreased a bit since. A lot of other crimes, e.g. assaults, robbery have also decreased a bit since 2023.
