Rep. Nancy Mace incorrectly claimed that crime is "skyrocketing" across the United States under President Joe Biden, prompting X (formerly Twitter) to issue a community note correcting her. That note was later removed by the platform.
"You're seeing, since Joe Biden took office, crime skyrocketing all across the country, and especially in big cities," Mace said in a campaign video posted to X on Saturday. "You see illegal immigrants coming in, beating up cops… You're seeing crime skyrocket."
But data from the FBI shows that crime decreased significantly in 2023, including a 13 percent decline in murder, a 6 percent decline in reported violent crime and a 4 percent decrease in reported property crime. "At some point in 2022 - at the end of 2022 or through 2023 - there was just a tipping point where violence started to fall and it just continued to fall," Jeff Asher, a crime analyst and co-founder of AH Datalytics, told NPR in February.

$20 says Nancy Mace lives with a wall around her house.
She might…. She is saying crime has skyrocketed.
The DEMONIC DEMOCRATS AREN’T REPPORTING THE CRIMES and LETTING OUT THE CRIMINALS IN HOURS!!
YES IT HAS INCREASED! .....but the DemocRATS and their sick attorney generals & prosecuters are refusing to call it crimes! ....imho
But data from the FBI shows that crime decreased significantly in 2023, misinformation ha ha ha ha ha. Does anyone believe this sh##
The”Rolling Turd” is positively wrong. Crime is no longer being prosecuted or even reported. That is the fault of the Biden Administration, period. Go smoke some more weed you bunch of “long-haired-dope smoking-maggot infested” morons.
Technically, crime surged in 2020 under Trump. And technically, certain crimes have slightly decreased under Biden. However, the Democrats have caused this and Biden should be blamed.
Peter Wade is a race-and-ethnicity wog who is helping the leftist governments of this world HIDE the abysmal crime statistics occurring more and more each day.
Democrat cities, leftist controlled states and this leftist government lie about crime, they reclassify crimes that they have to report so they are less threatening AND they decriminalize or just intentionally refuse to prosecute any crimes that involve minorities-as-aggressors.
Several major US cities have admitted in the past decade....they don’t pass their statistical numbers to the state or federal level. Even if a mayor says ‘x’ amount of violent crime....you’d have to drag in the police themselves to provide the actual data.
“But data from the FBI shows that crime …”
Garbage in garbage out.
I stopped reading at “Rolling Stone.”
bttt
The Rolling Stone made Boston bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a hot sexy celeb. Just no to anything they put out.
Obviously crimes that become national news will make it look like crime is higher.
The reason crime has not sky rocketed is because the definition and thus the reality of crime has been redefined.
No action by any Black person is ever a crime. By definition, there can be no crime committed by Black persons. Therefore there is no crime committed.
Removing merchandise from a retail store without paying for it is not a crime. Using a hand gun purchased from off market sources to kill a human is not murder. The act is merely a permissible Post Birth Abortion an as such certainly not a criminal act.
I have noticed when I see an article with a Statement similar to - “crime has skyrocketed” “Gun owners increasingly distrust” and then a two or three word retort like “It hasn’t” or “Here’s Why” you are about to be lied to.
It doesn’t matter what the topic is either. It is the smart-ass, know it all columnist superiority oozing from the column headline that is a sure tipoff to the slime content within. Within the article and also within the author.
If you dont prosecute crime, the stats are gonna look like it has gone down. Just another dim-0 trick using stats. Stats can prove anything according to how they are presented.
If the Rolling Stones told me the sun rises in the east, I’ll check for myself. Another magazine that is ruined by Moronic Liberals...
In some cases I can believe crime has fallen - particularly in places where the victims never returned to the killing fields post-COVID. Years ago Camden NJ was a very dangerous place, then the crime fell - the unreported angle of the story was that massive tracts of the city were no longer inhabited. Detroit is probably safer that it was 30 years ago - so many people (criminals and victims) left.
That dynamic is probably now appearing in NYC; dangerous as Hell, but with far fewer people.
So the way to reduce crime is to allow more criminals in the country and let more of them out on the street from jails?
That is against all logic.
