At the debate on Monday night, Hillary Clinton announced that the crime rate is much lower than it used to be. That was in response to Donald Trump talking about a wave of crime sweeping the country.
As if on cue, the FBI released the crime statistics for 2015. Murders were up 11% in 2015 over the year before. That's terrible. It's almost unprecedented too. According to research reports, the murder rate has risen by 10% or more only twice in the last 55 years (the period for which the statistics are available.) That means that the rise in the murder rate was extremely high last year. Even worse, there have been more murders across the USA so far this year than last year for the same period.
There you have it. Trump was right. Crime is getting much, much worse. And what was Hillary's response? Just the usual phony argument. How predictable.
