Austin: Down on Crime, Up on Bodies

Leftists try to spin the stats saying crime is down overall, but the truth is we're still seeing way too many murders and car thefts. The real solution? More good guys with guns and less coddling criminals! Let's stop the senseless violence and get tough on crime!

Liberal Tears Water Austin's Crime "Decline"

Crime stats in lefty-loon Austin are down, and locals are cheering. But a closer look reveals the drop is mostly due to less reporting, not leftist policies finally working. The figures, released by the Austin Police Department, show overall crime numbers for January to June are the lowest in 5 years. But when you scratch the surface, it's mostly because crimes like personal property theft and rapes aren't being reported as much. Typical liberal trickery.

I tend to say that you should think of the trends that we're looking at as accurate, but not precise.
~ Jeff Asher, Crime Analyst

Asher, a crime data analyst, points out the obvious: just because reports are down doesn't mean crime is. It's a statistical game, and liberals are happy to play it to make themselves feel safe. While violent crimes and property crimes are down, the data also shows an increase in crimes against society, aka drug arrests. More liberals seeking an escape from reality, no doubt.

I don't want people to lose faith and not report it, even if it feels like it's not going anywhere.
~ Auzzie Krobatsch, Acting Data Initiatives and Analytics Strategy Officer, APD

Krobatsch, always the optimist, wants victims to keep reporting crimes. But with Austin's track record, it's no wonder people are keeping quiet. Homicides might be down from last year's record high, but they're still almost double what they were pre-pandemic. Car thefts are through the roof, too, with liberals probably too stoned to remember where they parked. Asher notes that this uptick is a rare trend, but we know the truth: liberals can't handle freedom.

So, Austin, keep those crime numbers down by reporting less! It's the only way you'll feel safe in your liberal utopia. Just remember, when you need help, the cops liberals hate so much are the ones who'll be there.
