    Yeah, indeed. All kinds of crime have been trending down for decades.

    I remember telling a guy this back in the mid 00s. He was in disbelief. I told him that he really needs to turn off his TV, most especially Faux and local “news”. It’s ruining his brain.

      I’ve heard from more than one person that they mistrust the FBI stats that say crime is low. None offered a data source saying otherwise.

      Another source with different methodology does exist: the National Crime Victimization Survey. It also says crime is low.
