Detroit. Chicago. New York ain't too far behind.


Quote:
An innocent 13-year-old tourist and her mom who were shot by stray bullets inside a Bronx bodega told The Post on Monday that “it’s scary we live in a country like this” amid the Big Apple’s rising crime.

Beatriz Jimenez, 46, and her daughter, Jehieli Duran, had only just arrived from San Antonio, Texas, when they were shot inside the bodega on the corner of Southern Boulevard and Jennings Street on Sunday night.

Quote:
“I was very excited to visit New York … And well, it was the first day we got here, and it’s just kind of like changed my perspective on New York.,” the injured teen told The Post.
Quote:
Just moments before the mother and daughter were struck, a 22-year-old woman walking her dog was shot in the leg with a stray bullet just blocks away from the bodega, police said.

That's horrible. That little girl will live with a lifetime of PTSD and the city still does nothing to clean it up.

Interesting, it sounds like your views on the increase in crime have evolved from "not happening" to "it's been worse", to "it's always been bad", to "cyclical"

Is that an accurate assessment?

He realized that the original arguments were laughable.
Probably reward a recent article calling the rise in crime "cyclical".
Which isn't wrong but he can't explain why it's cyclical.
