Crime is trending up nation wide in deep red and blue areas , places with strict policing and places without... A lot of it is tied to Mental Health and certain politicians egging on the mentally unstable.

So insanity is now a defense for looting? Large numbers of “mentally ill” individual are surprisingly able to coordinate the ransacking of retails outlets, selecting the most valuable and street salable items to steal. You might want to rethink your support of the insanity defense. Who are the politicians egging on criminals ?

A lot of the looting incidents are due to gangs...often reselling things... I'm talking about the rise in Road Rage , Domestic violence , random violence like being pushed onto the tracks on the subway or punched walking down the street....and its not always people who look mentally ill...its increasingly normal people without any criminal history just snapping and killing people.
