stevepb / Pixabay When the pandemic first hit, it seemed that violent crime crashed. After all, if no one can go anywhere, how can they commit acts of violence?
Yet that didn’t hold. Worse, it seemed that people decided to make up for lost time by sending crime rates soaring.
It’s so bad that an FBI deputy director is shocked . FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate on Wednesday expressed concern with “violence, homicides and aggravated assaults,” which he says are “occurring at an appalling rate” across the U.S . Abbate gave the remarks, much of which focused on the growing number of female law enforcement officers — which he said now make up 45% of the law enforcement workforce — and their accomplishments, at an event for the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives in Miami. He also noted, however, that the FBI is “concerned” about the threat of rising violent crime. “We’re seeing a disturbing violent crime surge across the country. I know you’re seeing, it too. There’s gun violence, homicides and aggravated assaults, and are all occurring at an appalling rate, not to mention hate crimes and the persistent threat posed by violent extremists,” Abbate said, citing the agency’s 2020 incident-based crime data released last year, which showed a 30% jump in homicides in 2020. Since the FBI is the agency tasked with compiling these statistics, you’ve kind of got to assume Abbate has access to the correct numbers. Of course, that doesn’t mean the deputy director of the FBI is above making some stuff up, either.
However, that does somewhat track with what we’ve seen from the outside looking in.
So what gives? I mean, while gun control advocates want to blame firearms, it’s not like there was some liberalization of gun laws on a mass scale that could […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
