NR: An Unprecedented Drop in Murder Rates (and a Historic Low?)

No mention of an obvious factor: rolling back progressive-left madness like "depolicing" and "decarceration,"expanding conservative tough-on-crime policies, getting rid of some of the Soros prosecutors...in effect, further eroding the Ferguson effet and the penumbra of crackpot policies that surroundit.

   (Don't forget: the left is still pretending that it was the pandemic that caused the spike in crime...an obvious falsehood.)

   Violent offenders can be roaming the streets or they can be in prison. Those are our only two real options. Some few can be rehabilitated. But most just have to be separated from sane society--at least until they hit 40 or so.

   This is one of the many topics about which the progressive left is just nuts, and its pet theories are simply false. Utopian. Panglossian. Stupid. Brandon Johnson spoke for the left when he said that imprisoning criminals is "racist" and has been "proven" not to work. Bullshit. One hundred percent bullshit. That's the progressive left in yet another nutshell: boilerplate whimpering about bigotry + an outright, undeniable, laughable falsehood.

   So long as the left is gripped by political correctness, they must be opposed at every turn. The willingness to say that 2+2=5 is the most pernicious force in contemporary politics--and it is rampant on the left. There's always a certain amount of it in every faction. But the left has elevated it to their most sacred principle. Trump's habitual bullshitting is awful--but it's nothing compared to the institutionalized commitment to patently counterfactual theories we find on the left.
