A

new Gallup poll shows 53% of those surveyed said they “worry a great deal”

about crime and violence and another 26% worry about it a “fair amount.” 

The

intensity of concern is the highest at any time since 2001 and represents a

fourteen percent increase over the previous year’s data.  What could possibly be prompting such worry? 

Maybe

it’s the growing evidence that jihadists – perhaps including some President

Obama is determined to import from Guantanamo Bay – will kill more of us here

at home. Maybe it’s the sustained, disabling assault on America’s cops. Maybe

it’s the crazy bipartisan insistence on freeing tens of thousands of violent

drug felons, even though over 70% of them typically return to crime. 

Americans

are right to be worried – and to insist on a course-correction.
