Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), running against Dr. Mehmet Oz for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat, says he was “very successful” in reducing crime as he oversaw a crime surge while mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania.
During a town hall in Slippery Rock, PA Fetterman claimed he was “very successful in reducing, in driving crime down substantially” in Braddock and touted that the small town of fewer than 1,800 residents “went five and a half years in town without a homicide.”
Fetterman, who served as Braddock mayor from 2006 through 2018, oversaw crime surges as well as a declining population despite repeatedly promising to attract new residents and revitalize the area.
Data from the FBI shows violent crime, specifically, began spiking between 2013 and 2018. In 2017, violent crime peaked as the number of reports to local police quadrupled compared to 2006.
Similarly, robberies in the area surged in 2017 along with property crimes, burglaries, larceny-theft, and motorcycle vehicle theft. All property crimes saw a surge from 2017 through 2019.
In most cases, crime in Braddock actually dropped back down to its historical levels after Fetterman left the mayor’s office to become the state’s lieutenant governor.
Braddock’s crime rate, according to City-Data.com, is higher than nearly 60 percent of American cities. In 2019, the first year in over a decade that Fetterman was not mayor, the town’s crime rate dropped by 61 percent.

After John took a 12 gauge shotgun and went after a black jogger KKK style everyone got the message that this guy would kill you if you stepped out of line. Fast forward he wants to empty the prisons and he had 13 convicted murderers released last year. 559 murders in Philadelphia last year. Between Shapiro, Governor Wolf, lieutenant governor Fetterman and last but not least Larry Krasner did nothing to improve that number. John don’t take your guns to town son don’t take your guns to town. If that black jogger did the wrong thing John would’ve blown his head off.
In addition to being a left-wing fraud, he is a lying SOS. Perfect for the Senate (Sarc off.)
The Hugh and series town of Braddock. A megalopolis with massive crime waves.
I’d like someone with a medical background to explain the enormous growth on the back right side of his neck. He wears hoodies to cover it up. I saw a photograph of him in a tie and suit jacket. He had a scarf wrapped around his neck in that picture, totally weird looking for the rest of the outfit. He obviously was using the scarf to cover his neck.
What is his problem (apart from the fact that he’s a total fraud and nuts)?
Well? He has the major qualifications to be a card carrying communist democrat! Total fraud, nuts, liar, goofy, and butt ugly..... But I'm sure he has at least one family member who cares for him!
Looks like a nice town. I can see why the crime went down. Everyone left.
That is one scary photo. Dude doesn’t even look human. It’s like Uncle Fester gone bad.
He needs a bra.
A big fat roll(after all he is a meathead)
Looks suspicious maybe he can guest appear on “Dr Pimple Popper”?
Dr. Pimple Popper is a good guess, but a fat roll goes all the way around.
He’s got some serious health problems BEFORE his stroke.
Extra points for noticing the abnormal growth.
An awesome Oz campaign commercial would be a walk, on camera, through Braddock.
I live near there. It’s sad…just sad.
I can give some PA background; an old mill town named Lawrenceville had a huge comeback thanks to a hospital and nearby tech jobs. Shrek, err, Fetterman thought he’d ride the wave of gentrification happening just down the river.
NOPE. Braddock was, and remains, an extremely economically challenged area.
With one high end restaurant run by complete Libs attracted by super cheap real estate and deep lib pockets.
Figured out what he was saying. If you do something and get “arrested” but then get released without being charged with anything, was the thing that you did really a crime?
If not, then he reduced crime by not prosecuting them, thus convicting less people, and tada, reducing crime.
(I’d bet you this is the way they think!)
I’ll have to look at pics. It is obvious that the guy is not well, physically and mentally.
This guy reminds me of the character in “the hills have eyes” Just another disabled rat they are hiding until elected
