I wanna know what kind of crime rate you think warrants federal takeovers of a city, and then I wanna ask you when in history any big city has had a crime rate that low. Like, people on the right are always talking like shit is newly bad in the bad part of town. I’m always seeing “New York is not New York anymore because of <murder in the news>!” when the murder rate was damn near double what it is now in the 1970s.
