Newsom on CA Smash-and-Grabs: ‘Crime Is Higher’ in Texas But You Don’t See That on Fox News
Breitbart ^ | 12/08/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/08/2021 12:02:02 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Fox News was playing politics by covering the recent increase of smash-and-grab robberies plaguing California.

Co-host Joy Behar said, “California is seeing a wave of smash-and-grab robberies, where mobs ransack retail stores. Your own business has been robbed multiple times in the past year. You have a couple of wine stores, I understand. Critics in law enforcement blame this on your lax bail and theft policies emboldening criminals. Here is your chance to tell us.”

Actually Newsome is right as far as general crime rates:

However, he is wrong as it concerns the recent mass robbery incidents where mobs go in an rob with impunity. THAT is recent, and in addition to general crime stats, and IS HAPPENING more in states where local law enforcement has become more lax, intentionally - like California.

Hey Gavin, Russia and Mexico are worse, too. That doesn’t get you off the hook for what you’ve done to CA.

Violent crime and property crime, for example. is higher in Texas than in California, I don’t (sic!) that on Fox News.”

LOL - he reminds me of Fauci last week being asked about Senator Cruz’s suggestion that he should be prosecuted for his crimes responding with “What about January 6th, Senatah?” Complete diversion and non-answer.

I’m not sure if this is true or not, but I strongly suspect Newsom is making this up.

It’s what liberals do.

‘Crime Is Higher’ in Texas But You Don’t See That on Fox News ..... a bit of analysis and clarification, shall we...

Dallas County DA Won’t Prosecute If You Steal Under $750 Mon Apr 15, 2019

https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/2019/04/dallas-county-da-wont-prosecute-if-you-steal-under-daniel-greenfield/

John Creuzot - Democrat for District Attorney

https://www.texastribune.org/2019/05/21/dallas-district-attorney-john-cruezot-not-prosecuting-minor-crimes/ ..... But he’s among many prosecutors turning their focus away from nonviolent offenses.

https://theaustinbulldog.org/do-austin-police-investigate-property-crimes/ ........ Under a budget amendment initiated by Council Member Greg Casar last August, the city ended plate reader contracts worth about $114,000 and reinvested that money in social services

Sometimes some context and additional information helps. Amazing how all of this happens in Democrat controlled cities/counties, aint’ it?

Crime is higher in Texas... in Blue Cities.

Crime in Red Texas is Europe, but with guns.

There are two Texas’s.

The Blue Big Cities that went 70% Biden is where over 95% of the Crime is.

My Town of 25,000 20 minutes away from the center of Blue City has had 2 Murders in 20 years. A guy who killed his wife and a Cartel Lawyer/FBI snitch shot by Cartel Hitmen while shopping with his wife.

2 in 20 years. Europe with guns.

Blue state mayors fudge crime statistics to the FBI.

The only numbers that are true are homicides - ‘cause there’s a ‘dead body’ to deal with - hard to lie about murders.

I’m guessing California’s crime rates are off the charts... if they were reported honestly.

Tell them the pickings are better in California, and put them on a bus, leaving them off in front of Newsome’s front door.

In a similar Democrat statistical throwaway line, at one point Texas was criticized for having low educational achievement rank. When I looked into it, I found in Texas each ethnic group separately had higher ranking ( blacks, hispanic, whites ) versus that group in the other state, but overall Texas ranking was lower. How can both be true?

Answer: Higher representation ( fraction) of low achieving groups going into the state averages dragged down the average and ranking in Texas.
