Denver from 2013 to 2014: murders down, forceable sexual assaults down, kidnappings down, aggravated assaults down, armed robberies down, burglaries down, stolen cars down, thefts from cars down ...

And that's raw numbers - Denver's population is rapidly growing, so the crime rate drop for those crimes is more pronounced than just the raw number drop.


But Denver's totally gone to hell because last year cops arrested more people for drug possession, public drunkenness, and disturbing the peace than they did in 2013.

The founders were as liberal as you could get. They fought the most powerful nation in the world for quite possibly the most radical political change the world has ever seen. Something the south was more opposed to at the time.
