While the Left will tell us crime rates are down, the reality is quite different. According to a recent analysis of data, crime is actually up in 66 cities across the country and violent crime us up 25%.
One of the places struggling with crime is California. The wounds are all self-inflicted: the Golden State has been soft on crime for many, many years. That's why they have roving, organized mobs of shoplifters ransacking retailers in LA; in San Francisco, the city's last Denny's closed thanks to a rash of dine-and-dashing and businesses are leaving in droves.
