It is widely reported that murders were down perhaps 20% last year, compared to 2024. If that few people met violent ends, it's wonderful news. I wish I was certain the statistic is believable.
Another possible explanation for the reduced number of reported murders is that Soros-funded liberal prosecutors are charging fewer perps with murder, instead choosing some lesser offense or none at all.
Many other forms of crime are also reported to have declined, which makes me suspect prosecutorial reluctance is the underlying factor in these otherwise cheerful statistics. Officials who don't wish to give violent criminals long sentences do not have this society's best interests at heart.
