'Media Push Misleading Crime Stats To Protect Democrat Narrative'

'Crime is a major issue in this year’s election, yet major media ignored
the release of a significant new government report showing a surge in
violent crime. The increase in violent crime during the Biden
administration is a record increase.

The latest data released last Thursday from the Department of Justice’s
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) reveal a sharp increase in
violent crime under the Biden-Harris administration compared to when
Trump left office.

During the debate, Mr. Muir noted: “President Trump, as you know, the
FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.” But Mr.
Muir would have been much more accurate if he said that the number of
crimes reported to police fell, which isn’t the same as total crime. He
might also have conceded, as Trump pointed out in his response, that
fewer than half of police departments reported complete data to the FBI
in 2022.

Since victims don’t report most crimes, the NCVS was set up over fifty
years ago to get a measure of total crime. The survey interviews 240,000
people each year.

Since 2020, total serious violent crime (rape, robbery, and aggravated
assault), the categories that correspond to the FBI’s measure of violent
crime, has soared. Total violent crime was 55.4% higher in 2023 than
when the Biden-Harris administration took office. Rapes were up by 42%,
robbery by 63%, and aggravated assault by 55%.

The increases during the Biden-Harris administration are by far the
largest percentage increases over any three-year period on record, more
than doubling the previous record.

Even after several days, the media has failed to mention these huge
increases.

The Associated Press ran a “fact check” on Friday after President Trump
held a press conference in California. Relying on a statement from the
Bureau of Justice Statistics’ acting director that while the rate of
violent victimizations in 2023 was higher than it was in 2020 and 2021,
it was not statistically different from the pre-COVID rate in 2019, when
Trump was president.

Note they don’t mention whether the rate is statistically different than
in 2020 or 2021. Nor do they mention how large the increases are.
Trump’s point was that violent crime had increased during the
Biden-Harris administration. The rate in 2022 was statistically
significantly higher than in either of those previous years. The violent
crime rate in 2022 and 2023 was also significantly higher.

Total felonious violent crime increased by 19% from 2019 to 2023, and
there is only one other time when the increase over four years was
larger.

Americans in many parts of the country see that products at CVS and
Walgreens stores are behind plexiglass. A customer must call for a clerk
to unlock the glass and then wait while the customer reads and examines
the different packages. Americans know that things were not like this a
few years ago.

Much is made of the drop in murder rates over the past few years, but
Americans sense that violent crime is on the rise.

Murders are almost always reported, so the data are relatively reliable.
The FBI reports that the murder rate dropped by 13% in 2023, although it
remains 5% higher than in 2019.

Although the NCVS doesn’t track murder rates, the data from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contradict the FBI’s figures.
While the FBI reports that the murder rate peaked in 2020 and then
declined in 2021 and 2022, the CDC data indicate that the murder rate
was actually higher in 2022 than in 2020 (2022 is the most recent year
for which CDC data are available).

The news media is trying to protect the Democrats from bad news
regarding crime. This is important to many Democrat narratives.
Democrats have argued that the flood of illegal aliens can’t be causing
crime because crime is down. “The false message of the [Republican
National Convention] was that [illegal immigration] was leading to an
increase in crime,” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed
on Fox News Sunday.

The news media won’t report the shocking numbers. They know that
Democratic narratives would blow up if word gets out that rape, robbery,
and aggravated assault rates are 55% higher than in 2020 and far surpass
the pre-COVID level.

The media are trying to spin numbers for everything but regarding crime, any person in a city that
has been invaded will tell you all about the increase in crime.
It's as bad as Kamala claiming Bidenomics is working.
People aren't convinced of that.

It's another big conspiracy to make Trump look like a liar.

Everybody is out to get him.

The Fed lowered intrest rates today, another big conspiracy to make Trump
look like a fool.

With all the conspiracies to get Trump it's no wonder he's falling like a
stone in the polls and incoherently babbling like a moron when he isn't
crying that everybody but him is cheating.

Ann Coulter is right.

In her latest book, "In Trump We Trust." Coulter suggested that the former
president could "die" in order to help the country.

One of the men charged following a fatal shooting at Mall of America in late 2022 will spend multiple decades in prison.

Thursday morning, Hennepin County Judge Paul Scoggin sentenced 19-year-old TaeShawn Adams-Wright to more than 30 years (367 months) in prison for his role in the killing of 19-year-old Johntae Raymon Hudson on Dec. 23, 2022.

Police say it all started as a fight at Nordstrom before escalating to gunshots. Court documents note that surveillance video showed Adams-Wright and Lavon Semaj Longstreet brandishing handguns before Hudson was chased and shot 11 times. The video then showed the two standing over Hudson at different points, with the video capturing muzzle flashes.

In addition to Hudson, a woman at the store was also grazed by a bullet but survived.

Adams-Wright apologized to the family in court, saying he was influenced by movies, music and video games and knows he can’t take back what he did.

“I acknowledge you are young, but the criminal justice system also exists to punish people when they do bad things, and we forget that as a system at our peril,” Scoggin told Adams-Wright before handing down the sentence.

Adams-Wright pleaded guilty to murder and assault for his role in the incident back in March. Longstreet, who was 17 at the time, is scheduled to go to trial in adult court next week.

After the hearing, Hudson’s mother said, “I feel like I can breathe again.”

“I just want the world to know that Johntae got justice today,” Johntae’s mother, Lynn, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. “We are joyful, we are happy, we are thankful, we are blessed.”

She now wears a cross that her son used to wear, saying “it’s like I’m giving him a hug” when she touches it.

“My thoughts today are with the victims’ loved ones as they try to heal from such a devastating loss,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “Mr. Adams-Wright engaged in gun violence that endangered the lives of countless people as they enjoyed their day at the Mall of America. A long prison sentence is appropriate to sufficiently protect public safety.”
