Way to early.

This winter has been colder longer. The feral population does not like cold. Wait until it heats up.

Here in Detroit the animals are pretty stupid even as a record trend in them getting shot up.

Won’t happen overnight, but it will happen.

Yeah, right. Actually, the number of beat cops has gone down significantly since the Nineties and many of the replacements look like they’re right out of the academy. This is the same “talent” that only solves and prosecutes 35% of murders in Chicago.

"What happened was that many bad criminals were murdered and the crime rate subsequently declined."

Sorry, Bert, but it just ain't so. That culture breeds like rabbits (it boosts welfare income), and replenishes itself enough to more than make up for the loss of a few hundred baby-daddys a year.

Either the weather or the thugs have reach a critical point of killing each other off and thereby eliminating the competition and colleagues

the likely reason crime went down is due to the harsh winter. once things heat up things will start to heat up again.

“I wonder how the libs will spin this”

From the article: However, it is not unreasonable to conclude the drop in crime may undercut gun control advocates’ argument that more guns equal more crime.

You can bet the libs will not let any facts get in the way of their campaign. They haven’t so far.
