“Despite the unusually high number people shot in burglary attempts, residential burglaries have gone down 28 percent compared to last year in the period between Jan. 1 and Nov. 30.”

By the way the author wrote this sentence you would think that he was expecting the residential burglary rate to go down even more than what it did. Or maybe he’s expecting more law-abiding citizens to shoot more burglars.

With Leftists it’s either we are shooting too many of them or too little. Make up your mind you Leftists!

Classic example of a logical theorem called:

"Lucus a non Lucendo."

Or literally, "it is called a grove of trees because it does not shine".

So, "Despite vicious redneck bible-thumping gun-hugging homeowners shooting more burglars, obtusely upsetting our prediction mantra of "more guns=more crime," it cannot be a "crime rate reduction" because there are fewer crimes, which are the substance of crime reduction. Therefore, as night follows day, there can be no statistical reduction in crime without crime data.

Quite simple really. To believe otherwise is racist, gender normative, eurocentric, patriarchal, imperial,hegemonic thinking.
