crime is apparently starting to go up again there...predictably
murder is up slightly but overall crimes are lowest since 2002.
Chris Christie was on msnbc tuesday whining about the spike in crime. They brought out a statistician and showed it's actually down a lot. technology = police can respond faster, everything/everyone is on camera, etc.
Christie said "well if you ask anyone it doesnt FEEL like its down..." Bag of shit right there. Crime is a hot news story, so it's getting more coverage, so maybe it FEELS higher, but according to data, it's not.
Christie is desperate, at 3-4% in polls and trying to use deblasio as the bad guy so he can get some media traction. He's fat, he has no true political belief system, and this is his last ditch effort to stay relevant.
