Crime: Explained in a way even liberals can understand (I hope)

No it doesn’t. Number of crimes does. pEr CaPita is a distraction for tourism.

Safer is an emotion.

Two rooms

  1. 1,000 rapes
  2. 10,000 rapes

Which room are you living in?

A peaceful red one. Pretty much one of the safest places on planet earth.

Care to tell me how many of these are red cities? Thanks!

Safer can be described with data.

Which two rooms?

If room one has 5 million people and room two has 50,000 people… then I’m much much safer from rape in room one than room two.

You?

These rooms. I think they’re all blue.

Mostly red states

Neither one of the yapping yahoos defending that see how stupid it is.

Explain why per capita is “stupid” please?

So you blame the states?
:crazy_face:
I guess you think governors are setting blue city polices? The state police are patrolling the hood? Criminal charges are being dropped by the state?
Soooo. Quick question. Just how much responsibility do you give to blue city leaders for blue city crime? I’m guessing zero. Would I be right?

Why not? States make the laws of their states. States have oversight of enforcement.

The laws, yes.

Mayors have some responsibility as well. As do governors.

Incorrect. If Governors do not have the authority to dictate how cities handle their affairs.

What makes you think they don’t? What does the state AG do? Who does the State AG report to?

Protects the interests of the state. Local crimes are prosecuted by local DA’s. Elected by liberals. This is basic. I’m happy to educate you.

Who do the local DAs report to?

Why are blue cities more violent than red cities? Answer that first. Why are all the most violent areas blue?

I asked you a question first.

Who do local DAs report to?

You did not. My entire thread is about why blue cities are hell holes and red ones are not. Regardless of the state they are in.

I asked you who do local DAs report to?

“Safe” is an emotion.

One room has 1,000 rapes.
The other has 10,000 rapes.

Choose.
