In his book, The Least of Us (2021), Sam Quinones details how two drugs, meth and fentanyl, have supercharged crime and homelessness, making America a much more dangerous place.
Failure to control our border, human trafficking (AMU Edge, J Sadulski 12/21/20)and zero bond is spreading crime to our scenic countryside now.
Bloomberg reported last year that NYC was safer than rural America (6/7/22).
Always late to the discussion, Joe Biden now says “not to defund the police.” Something has to change if the FBI estimate is accurate, there were more murders in the US in 2021 than any year since 1994 (VOX, Jeff Asher 10/6/22). And police officers are leaving in droves (USA Today, J Brown 12/21/22).
Over the last two weeks, at lest 19 were killed and others wounded in six mass shootings in progressive California – a state with more than 100 gun laws (NYTimes, S Hubler 1/29/23). Unfortunately progressives will blame guns, want more laws and to defund the police.
So what Americans need now are signs or an app warning us of these dangerous areas so as not to get murdered in a progressive ruled society.
