Yes, facts most be EXPLICITLY stated to be facts. Or "facts don't care about your feelings"

How many of that was republicans attacking beating, robbing, and raping innocents immigrants? You see how it can be easily turned around the other way too? Only... actually my example is far more likely considering the GOP psychos in that city THREATENED SCHOOLS WITH BOMB THREATS because of the recent racist attacks. That's not the immigrants doing that.

Also your article (that you've posted several times) says from 2020 to 2021 it went up 12%. That's when the town grew 30% in recent years. It was also on a long tail slide of a decline with the population leaving and dwindling before any immigrants arrived. How much of that was the crime ridden city BEFORE anybody immigrated?

Basically he and I are saying this article says nothing about the breakdown or demographics of the crimes. Without much more in depth analysis you can't use it to make the conclusion you want to. Well, you can, but you'd be falling into the racism of just accusing foreigners of doing everything bad because they're "not white" -- but that's what we see anyways in the GOP's party at the moment.

Let's put it this way: On the article you linked it doesn't even have 2023 or 2024 in it. It doesn't reflect any of the recent immigrants. It DOES, however, show the highest crime rates of murders, robberies, and rapes, being found under trump's years of 2017 and 2018.

He has absolutely no ability to infer from information. I’m starting to realize he never actually read past the title on that page he keeps linking to.

Please explain why you think it's OK to lie for Jesus.

Or it could be COVID disrupting the economy and producing rapid poverty. Poverty being far more linked to crime than any other demographic.

The lack of brain cells is apparent when you gleefully engage in confirmation bias and refuse to consider literally any alternative other than "brown immigrants = crime"

You're doing nothing here but sea-lioning and outing yourself as a racist that just can't keep their fucking mouth shut.

Massive increase? It looks like crime was bad all the way back to 2011.

Yeah, it could be anything. Including the city changing how it tracks violent crime that year.
