Since you think it's just NBC 30 reporting this:

The Governor's Press Release on Crime: https://portal.ct.gov/Office-of-the-...perty%20crimes.

"Staticially, Connecticut and the rest of New England are the among the safetst places from crime."
https://ctmirror.org/2022/09/26/ct-c...nowski-lamont/

WFSB: https://www.wfsb.com/2022/09/26/watc...t-be-released/

So, either everybody is fooled, or, crime is down. I guess if "conservatives" don't have the ability to run around and scream like their hair is on fire about crime, immigrants and fetuses, it's hard to get people to vote for them

To its credit, our local papers have covered these incidents well.

So, you think people who you know who don't go to the mall at night are evidence, but the statistics published and verified are "fake news"?

So, because another media outlet reported it, it must be true? And because the [Democratic] governor posted it on the website, means no crime reclassification occurred?

If you go back in this forum 5-6 years, you’ll find me sounding the alarm on what Malloy was doing, as he was doing it. That you’re continuing to post local news articles without digging a little deeper to see what’s occurred, while politicizing it by continuing to denigrate conservatives as you’ve done in every post, shows me you’re not interested in knowing the history of it all. The manipulated outcome is all that Democrats and their followers care to acknowledge, because they think it makes them look good.

Sorry, but you are 100% wrong on this.

The Milford paper has published most incidents.

As for easy access to guns, it could be. Guns are too plentiful on the streets, and now we have a rise in “ghost guns” that can be 3D printed without serial numbers. They’re illegal in Connecticut, but that doesn’t mean people won’t do it.

As we discussed in another thread, we need to throw money at establishing threat assessment teams to enforce red flag laws to remove guns from people who display certain behaviors. Unfortunately, the Democrats’ sole answer is gun control, with nothing else. It’s all optics.

Let's just put it out there, you won't say it but I will. The Democrats gun control outrage only comes up when a white guy who likes women does something bad with guns. Daily street gang gun violence gets a pass. I mean let's be real here.
Lamont and the sens and congressmen are first in line to open thier mouths when a straight white guy does something.
Lamont in a rout in November. Book it.

Lamont and every Demorat are in for a surprise on election day. Red Wave in coming. Biden and the failed policies that past year have hurt the Demorat brand bigtime. Trump is not running for office, that is all they can talk about. Nobody cares about trans rights, climate change, crt, equity. Voters are pissed off about the economy being destroyed and inflation affecting daily lives. People even hardcore liberals vote with their wallet. The media tried to downplay the Red Wave all summer and now the polls are showing bad news coming for the Dems. House and Senate go Red. Many states like NY and Ct might have Republican governors. Our main problem in Connecticut is the 40 + year hold the Democrats have on the State Legislature. This needs to change and we need some new faces and leadership state wide. Some of the same faces for decades running our state into the ground with poor policy. A Republican Governor with Republican legislature would be a welcomed change. The Independent voters are the deciders in this state.

Yeah, all the polls showing that this race isn't even close are wrong it's going to be a surprise win for Bob. State legislature will flip. Big national news. Unprecedented last minute upset. /s

Eh..I think it will be close. I don't think it's a red wave though there's some areas that just don't make sense. Diehl is going to lose hands down in mass. He played the far right card and he's down by at least 15%. I'm not saying stefanowski is to the far right infact his ads are getting better but it's too little too late. Whoever is giving advice to republicans running for office in CT should be fired. The ads, the message it just didn't work. You can't be mean and insult people as it can backfire. What to know how Mass had so many republican governors? Because John Silber was an ass to reporter back in the day. How did Coakley lose? She barely campaigned. You have to be out there talking to people and treat them with respect.

I have to say I admire your optimism, misguided but admirable.

Sure I mean if all your callers on 99.1 PLR talk this way I can see why you think this will happen. Get out of your bubble a little more.
