FBI: Violent Crime And Murder Rate Down Across US

FBI: Violent Crime And Murder Rate Down Across US

June 11, 2024 Crime, Government

CNN reports:

Violent crime dropped by more than 15% in the United States during the first three months of 2024, according to statistics released Monday by the FBI.

The new numbers show violent crime from January to March dropped 15.2% compared to the same period in 2023, while murders fell 26.4% and reported rapes decreased by 25.7%. Aggravated assaults decreased during that period when compared to last year by 12.5%, according to the data, while robberies fell 17.8%.

Meanwhile, property crime went down 15.1% in the first three months of this year. Burglaries dropped 16.7%, while motor vehicle theft decreased by 17.3%. The declines in violent and property crimes were seen in every region of the US.

Read the full article. Trump, of course, continues to lie every day that violent crime is at an all-time record high.

I’d say I’m surprised Fox News isn’t talking about the unprecedented drop in murders these past two years but then again they support electing a convicted Felon.

It’s hard to tell that violent crime is down when every time I step outside the door of my suburban house in these dystopian hellscapes, my ears are overcome by the screams of FoxNews watchers drowning in rivers of blood!! /S

Anyone have that clip of Gingrich being confronted with lower crime numbers, only to retort that people feel like crime is going up? Thanks, of course, to Fox and others constantly screeching about the higher crime rate (which doesn’t exist) to get people afraid and angry, to get them voting GOP. Which is all folks like Gingrich and the rest of the GOP care about, not reality. No matter what Ben Shapiro says about facts not caring about someone’s feelings, he and all his cohorts work in a fact-free zone as much as possible
