Making DC great again.

[mspart]

You don't feel safe if you are not safe.   They keep saying they want people to feel safe.   Well, that doesn't happen until they are safe.   If crime is high, people are not safe and they will not feel safe.   If real crime is low, people are safe and they will feel safe.   There is no way people will feel safe when the crime is high, not because they are unwilling to delude themselves, but that they are not, in fact, safe.

Red states don’t have runaway crime issues.   Blue cities with blue mayors do

That may be.   Where do you live?   Madison?   Right.   Not DC, right?   Perhaps you were ignorant of the dangers in DC and were lucky not to have a problem.   My son lives there and we were going to do the rail and he said not to.   Bad stuff happening in the stations.   You know what?   We listened.   I didn't feel unsafe there but I don't live there was probably was insulated from the dangerous areas.   

But your buddy Bowser is thanking the feds ( and Trump) for making DC safer than it has been in a long time.   Carjackings down 80% over a year ago.    Murders down.  Violent crime down.   Of course that is good news.   I wonder why you are not happy about it.

Not that I need to justify to you but have been around a long time, read quite often, don't post much. I enjoy many of the topics and forums. Was on the original board as well. You are sure more than welcome to read my 22 posts, shouldn't take you long. I have a dry sense of humor and sarcasm is the weapon of a fool, which I wholeheartedly fall under.

So is the "boss" term you "big brothering" me? for future reference? Thanks in advance.

Stats have been repeatedly posted here.  The red states  with crime problems all have big blue city mayors where the vast majorly of the crime comes from.  
 

post something that refutes new burner account troll guy.

Burner account?  The onus is on you to prove your suppositions and you have done no such thing.

The stats have been posted.  Even in the red states the cities with problems are mostly led by blue mayors.  Go back and read the thread.

@1032004 should comment on these stats too.   Blue cities stopped effective policing.  And the DAs stopped prosecuting effectively.  
 

I have a Hispanic vp in my org.  He’s from South America.  Not the nicest city.  He pulled me aside and asked me why everything is locked down in convenience  stores in Chicago.  He couldn’t comprehend that they don’t arrest shop lifters and the felony amount is crazy high these days.    He’s from one of those cities Trump quite possibly may call a third world country / city.  

I think he votes blue 

this is Nordstrom’s down town I think last weekend

Hence the reason why crime is down. Reporting is down.
