Opinion: The 21st Century Crime Wave: Accidental or Intentional? - Illinois Review

Over the past few years, certain types of crime have skyrocketed, especially crimes committed by certain specific classes of criminal. -  John F. Di Leo

• Intentional murders, of course. 
• But also – drug overdoses that result in lethal fentanyl poisoning – and violent rapes that result in a murder – and irresponsible drunk-or-high-driving crashes that result in fatalities – and robberies that result in the homeowner or cashier being killed – and carjackings that result in killings or road fatalities...

Sometimes the powers-that-be find ways to meddle with such statistics, so we must be on our guard. Presidential debate “fact checkers” were recently exposed as having playing fast and loose with the numbers, attempting to make increased crime look like a decrease, when FBI stats were properly compared with Bureau of Justice Statistics reports.
How do they manage this sleight-of-hand? 

• Well, here’s one way: At present, most of America’s big cities have Soros-funded chief prosecutors who refuse to prosecute thefts of under $1000 each in stolen goods. 
• This causes an explosion of crimes that don’t appear in government statistics, since this very increase in actual property crimes results in a reduction in the crimes that show up in reports – but only because of their new reporting methods.

The crimes go up nevertheless; refusing to report and prosecute doesn’t mean the business or individual wasn’t robbed...
