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.

After what happened to Derek Chauvin (spelling?) no cop wants to arrest anyone. Why risk a prison term for a job that doesn’t even pay that well? I saw a guy shoplifting at the Home Depot when he pushed his way between me and another customer at two checkout lanes. Nobody bothered to stop him and if they even noticed it they didn’t let on. I have seen bums gathering good shit in the Goodwill store into backpacks and suitcases that they got from inside the store and just walk right out past the security guard who is only paid to stand there. A woman walked into the Walmart with an empty bag and walked right out with a full bag but totally forgot to go to the cash register. These things are only what I have seen but they all happen on the same day. These are crimes but they aren’t reported because nobody is apprehended and the thieves are not afraid.
They’re now counting people crossing our border illegally in the MILLIONS....
When crime is not tabulated; when crime is not prosecuted, then ‘crime falls’... even as it grows exponentially in reality.
Much like they do with their inflation calculations, government agencies lie about reality with crime too, to protect the 0’Biden Regime of Corruption and Destruction.
The article claimed that a UVA student Jackie Coakley had been taken to a party hosted by UVA's Phi Kappa Psi fraternity by a fellow student.
At the party, Jackie alleged in the article, her date led her to a bedroom where she was gang raped by several fraternity members as part of a fraternity initiation ritual.
Unintended consequences of an action by a dirty cop (Derek Chauvin). Now we're all paying the price. So for every 100 cops, we have one bad apple. But now nobody is doing their job.
FBI data shows US crime plummeted in 2023 but experts warn report is incomplete The Guardian - Tue 19 Mar 2024However, the statistics are based on figures collected from only 79% of law enforcement agencies in the US. Experts have previously warned that data can be “patchy” given inconsistency in reporting by the local agencies who supply the numbers. And the new stats are unaudited as the FBI is not scheduled to release its official figures and analysis concerning crime in 2023 until this upcoming October.
Exactly.
When prosecutors refuse to prosecute crimes, the crime rate lowers. Funny how that works.
you are right...they let people go, don't pursue criminals and suddenly they have fewer arrests and fewer convictions..
They probably blame the Catholic Church for the hate crime of the Hamas pro Palestinians for physically disrupting the church service on Easter Sunday.
I wonder if there are any DAs that are not corrupt communists?
Remember when Rolling Stone was taken to the cleaners by the fake rape girl? They’re dullards and will believe anything.
Speaking about letting the criminals go, have they released the cop killer they had over 20 arrests? Haven’t heard if they even booked him for killing the NYPD officer.
Since the Soros DAs don’t book folks for crimes any longer, does it even count as a committed crime? Is it “real” if it’s ignored?
Fudging the numbers...... I’m sure there are plenty of parents and family members who would dispute this so called “reduction”.
I’m sure some of it is underreported, and some of it reclassified by the police to less aggravated charges. Some charges dismissed by DAs, not sure if those are even tabulated But Biden came in Jan 20, 2021. Did it go up during 2021-2022? Even if it went down legitimately in 2023, it does not necessarily negate the claim if crime went up in Biden’s first 2 years. And is the 13% reported decrease in 2023 lower overall than it was in 2019 or 2020? Lots of ways to slice and dice data for political PR.
DAs who don’t charge or who undercharge, laws which allow $900 of shoplifting, all this stuff can reduce the crime numbers.
Now, imagine the Dems suddenly crack down on all of this if Trump wins the election, the stats will truly skyrocket, considering how things are going now. And they will blame him for the subsequent “rise in crime.”
We all know crime is up and the enforcement and reporting is way down. It’s a cheap ass trick by the democrat lie machine. Of course, the panty-wastes at the RS buy it hook line and sinker.
BTW, why do you post their vomit here?
Reality101: Saint George of Floyd died from a self-inflicted drug overdose of fentanyl & meth after being arrested for passing counterfeit $20 bills.
Derek Chauvin was NOT involved in that death
Bingo.
No charges = no crimes
