Crime. It's what they're like now. We're told that this stuff is a figment of the right wing echo chamber...but there are always inconvenient receipts:

CNN Airs Wild Clip from Inside Most Robbed Walgreens in the Country: 'We Saw 3 Thefts' In 30 Minutes

Robbed 3 times in half an hour. While cnn was there and filming!

'So typical that in the 30 minutes we were at this Walgreens, we watched three people, including this man, steal,' Lah reports as a man robs the store in front of them.

'Did that guy pay? Did that guy pay?' Lah shouts to the cashier as she walks the man leave with products from the store.

'He didn't pay,' she notes, repeating the cashier's answer.

'Walgreens says this Richmond neighborhood store with aisles of products like mustard locked behind plexiglass has the highest theft rate of all their nearly 9000 U.S. stores,' Lah adds


Which would be why businesses are bailing out of San Fran left and right.

Oh no, not Walgreens!

Let's look at some Data...

"Red States Have Higher Gun Death Rates Than Blue States."

"The Data found that between 2000 and 2020, Trump-voting states had 12% higher murder rates than did Biden-voting cities."

"The South is the geographical region with the highest gun-related crime rates, and these states largely have been Republican-run for years.
Fifteen of the 20 states with the highest firearm mortality rates are led by Republicans."

"New York saw significant drops in homicides between 2021 and 2022, while Florida saw significant increases."

"Data shows that in 2020, eight of the ten states with the highest murder rates voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election in this century."

"Mississippi had a firearm mortality rate of 33.9, making it the state with the highest rate. The state also used its electoral votes to vote for then President Trump in the 2020 election."

"Louisiana had a firearm mortality rate of 29.1 and voted for Trump."

And folks in Blue states live longer...

"A growing mortality gap between Republican and Democratic areas may largely stem from policy choices."

"People in Republican Counties Have Higher Death Rates Than Those in Democratic Counties."

"It joins an already existing, pretty robust literature showing that politics do have life-and-death consequences."

"The U.S. mortality rate has decreased since 2001. But the improvement for those living in Republican counties was half that of those in Democratic counties 11 percent lower versus 22 percent lower."

QUESTION is.......how to bring that element of Blue Cities......face to face with affluent Liberals in those same cities, just well segregated from....uh....."them".

Instead of these little 1/6 adventures, Trump and company should use the voice to educate disenfranchised people in the city....where to go for the real money, and the better looking yoga chicks.

I've toyed with it for years. Haven't gone beyond trying to hint on certain online forums. I don't have the wherewithal to deal with it, if such a thing hit critical mass and I got. blamed for it.

I'm a chickenhawk lol.
