We are so screwed as a country. Once the left enact their asinine policies like allowing $1000 day thefts, thr left would riot if anyone tried to make all theft illegal again. Once reparations are started, it will. Be Impossible to get all the “gimmedats” off of demanding more and more in “reparations”
The reason democrat hellholes raised the amounts people could steal before it became a felony was because corrupt mayors didn’t want their cities to look like the hellholes they really are.
Democrat mayors compete for companies - new jobs - and an expanded taxpayer base. Companies don’t want to move to criminal hellholes because it makes it harder for them to recruit the talent they need.
So mayors LIE about their crime statistics. The only honest crime number out of a democrat city is the murder rate. That can’t be changed.
A solution is for the corrupt FBI to standardize crime statistics.
