CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 15, 2024
THE HARRIS-BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CLAIMS CRIME IS DOWN ACROSS THE NATION. IT’S DOWN IF LIBERAL DISTRICT ATTORNEYS REFUSE TO PROSECUTE CRIMINALS, BUT IT’S NOT DOWN WHEN IT COMES TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
NUMEROUS SURVEYS HAVE SHOWN AMERICANS BELIEVE THE COUNTRY IS LESS SAFE NOW THAN IT WAS A YEAR AGO, OR FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE REALITY IS MORE COMPLICATED, REPORTS THE WASHINGTON TIMES. FBI FIGURES SHOW A DROP IN OVERALL CRIME RATES FROM A PEAK DURING THE EARLY DAYS OF THE PANDEMIC. THE BUREAU OF JUSTICE STATISTICS, WHICH CONDUCTS A MASSIVE ANNUAL POLL ASKING 240 THOUSAND AMERICANS WHETHER THEY WERE AFFECTED BY CRIME, FOUND CRIME HAS RISEN UNDER PRESIDENT BIDEN.
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN CRIMES REPORTED TO POLICE AND CRIMES REPORTED AND UNREPORTED. COMBINING THE TWO SHOWS 23.5 PEOPLE PER ONE THOUSAND SAID THEY WERE VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME. THAT’S UP FROM 16.5 PER THOUSAND THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
BIDEN AND HARRIS USE ONLY POLICE DATATE TO CLAIM CRIME HAS DROPPED.
SWIFT AND CERTAIN PUNISHMENT HAS BEEN THE BEST WAY TO CONTROL CRIME, BUT WOKE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ELECTED WITH THE HELP OF GEORGE SOROS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRIME RATE INCREASE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
