“Make no mistake, this is just the beginning. Today was liberation day, but we are now in the process of bringing to the attention of law-abiding citizens, not just in D.C., but throughout the country, we’re not going to tolerate crime that is out of control in the nation’s capital,” Pirro told Hannity. “This is the shining city on the hill that our forefathers talked about.

    Here’s what that study from the D.C.-based Council on Criminal Justice found:
    Homicides are increasing at a greater rate than aggravated assaults and robberies and the number of people carrying guns has increased as well. The data comes from 2012 to 2024, from 17 large U.S. cities, and of those, D.C. had the highest “lethality” level among those cities.

    By lethality, they mean the number of homicides per 1,000 aggravated assaults and robberies.

    Ernesto Lopez is one of the authors of this new study.

    The NYT (wouldn’t you know) said that Trump was inaccurate when he said crime was getting worse.
