In my nice suburban neighborhood, one where my wife and I decided to move for various reasons--safety and security among them--we still have the occasional crime occur, most often related to property. The very best of areas throughout our nation surely have similar property crimes from time to time--just a fact. I know this from my many years of being a police officer in two states and as one who personally handled thousands of calls for service of all kinds. What I find interesting in my neighborhood social information sight, is the number of people who get very upset over the occasional property crime which of course is aggravating. I share their aggravation. Yet what comes to mind are thoughts and concerns I have about the future and far more serious matters they might face.
What if (and I pray this does not come to pass) ten short years from now property crimes increase with more and more burglaries? Home invasions become as common as carjackings now are in Washington DC? More people are attacked in my neighborhood or yours? What if sexual assaults and child molestations become commonplace near our homes? If open drug use on our streets and in our parks is prevalent? And the homeless population flourishes?
What I just described is not impossible in the near future in many, now nice suburban, town, city, even rural locations. If leftist Democrats continue to succeed attaining leadership positions in government--local, state, and federal, and in schools, colleges, corporations, and the judicial system, my neighborhood, yours, and countless others could and likely will be noticeably changed for the worst. Evidence of this trend is "now" all around us. Once again, look at any number of our cities under Democrat Party control. Look at the uptick in crime in the present that is showing no signs of letting up. Take note how these leaders think. This segment cites some statistics and trends now right before us, trends being denied, ignored, or both by the left which largely ignores crime, backs or makes excuses for those who riot, burn, loot, or assault police and others. The Left, soft on criminals and clearly less concerned about victims. Soulless? Ignorant?
