What is this country coming to?
The overall violent crime rate, including murder, is actually way down from the 1970s-1990s. It’s just with 24/7 media coverage and online news available to anyone with an internet connection, we hear about these things more often. But these things were always happening in this country. There are actually about 40 murders a day in this country. This just happened to make it to the SA feed because it was a multiple killing and happened in a relatively safe neighborhood.
Trump will claim another phony “terrorism” attack to try to rev up voters. Trump likes people scared and ignorant.
I wouldn’t put it past him. What worries me most is not that Trump is the way he is, it’s that so many people seem to be buying into his rhetoric and fear mongering.
