The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again.

And what was it you said? Murder and violent crimes per memory - so your response doesn't match your point

AI Overview
Murder/Homicide: The murder rate in NYC has decreased. In 2024, there was a nearly 4% reduction in murders compared to 2023. This downward trend continued into the first half of 2025, with a 16% lower homicide rate compared to the first half of 2024.

Violent Crime (overall): Overall major crime in NYC was down by around 3% in 2024 compared to 2023. However, the general "violent crime" category (which includes murder, rape, robbery, and felony assault) has been trending upward since before the pandemic, primarily driven by increases in specific offenses.

I'm not the one calling you stupid Dope, but I do think you will always be a surrender monkey, and I do think you lie, dissemble, cheat, deceive and think you're the artful dodger by doing that.

You haven't even mentioned any laws that were passed by Social Democrats and established a causal connection between those laws and anything in those laws. That's your main point and it's easy to show that you're wrong:

"A new report by Brennan Center Justice Program Senior Counsel Ames Grawert and Economics Fellow Terry-Ann Craigie offers the most wide-ranging study of the issue so far, finding no evidence that bail reform affects crime rates. The authors discussed their approach to the research and unpacked the significance of their findings in an interview."
