EPTYou seem to simultaneously be eulogising a period where criminals were put off by mandatory 7 year sentences for any gun crime, while also conceding that crime was worse then? Make it make sense

According to Trump a frail old man would get mugged by 30 illegal south american immigrants. get it now? the hysteria over crime in NYC is unfounded. Also, I'd like to add that "crime stats" do not provide a full picture. Going back to Seinfeld in the early 90s all his electronics are stolen during a show. During the entire episode he is 100% aware that filing a police report includes a 0% chance his stuff will be recovered. Thus, lots of crimes get committed without being reported. Reporting crimes is often pointless. Google searches provide a limited perspective of what was going on in the 80s. We are also getting only a limited view of what is happening unless today unless we go there and experience it for ourselves. | ||
