We've never once argued about "Comey era crime statistics." Comey was fired in May 2017.

The debate about crime statistics started in late 2023, and the statistics you didn't like were/are the ones from recent years 2023-25. You were fine with the high crime numbers from the early 2020s, you just didn't like they started dropping at the time I pointed out they were dropping.

And of course it turns out I was 100% correct and you had no idea what you were talking about.

Btw, something like 95% of law enforcement reporting agencies now fully report to the FBI. No one is estimating anything.
When you were proclaiming the huge drop-in crime in whatever year , WHOLLY 40 % of ALL law enforcement were NOT reporting their numbers to the FBI.

The largest Police Force in the USA, the NYPD was not reporting, I still don't know if they send in the numbers still today.

Your self proclaiming 100 % is just patting ones-self on the back, which you excel at !

It’s almost like we should go back to the times when we locked violent people up. This woman had a few arrests for assault in the last few years.

I’m sure some progressive attorneys are lining up to say she is mentally incapable of knowing she was committing a crime.

Prosecutors across the Country in progressive States are adding to violent crime by not jailing offenders and failing to prosecute to not lose an open and shut case, because of incompetence or fear of losing a case.

Matt still has not received NYC prosecutor approvals to go to NJ AND RI to arrest different gangs of criminals, now over a year !

It's so distressing to actually KNOW facts and to have posters with mental issues, like TDS, that sacrifice their business time to have a long winded post about nothing factual, but love to argue.

That's entirely incorrect, but then again you attributed something like 60% of US murders to illegal immigrants when it's most likely 4% or so. You then refused to admit you were wrong despite being laughably uninformed.

You were wrong again on Comey. Hell, you weren't close to being right. He left more than 5 years before the discussion even began.

Since you are too stupid to remember basic facts, let's go over the debate.

I came on here in late 2023 saying murders and violent crime were starting to drop considerably. You and Dumbcoach argued vociferously. He stopped arguing by early 2025, you are still arguing. Let's go over the actual facts.

2023 - Large Drop in Violent Crime
2024 - Continued Large Drop in Violent Crime
2025 - Another Large Drop in Violent Crime
2026 - Violent Crime Still Dropping Bigly

You can use AI or whatever you want to verify this. It was very obvious to anyone who understands social statistics, violent and some other crime rose due to the chaos unleashed by Covid. As it receded, so did crime. What's most interesting is crime didn't stop dropping when it hit 2019 levels, it's now down to 60 year lows.

Phillips 66 announced in October 2024 that it would stop refining at its Los Angeles-area complex (Wilmington/Carson, about 139,000 barrels per day) in late 2025, and it did so. The company said the decision was not a direct reaction to the specific inventory/maintenance bill Governor Newsom signed days earlier, and that it reflected a portfolio review and market factors. Its CEO later described an expectation that refining in California would become “increasingly challenging.” On a later earnings call, an executive cited very high production costs and earnings that were very low or negative.

Valero was more direct. In April 2025 it said it intended to idle, restructure, or cease operations at its Benicia refinery (about 145,000 barrels per day) by the end of April 2026, and it stopped refining there on that timeline. CEO Lane Riggs told analysts that California’s long push away from fossil fuels had produced “the most stringent and difficult” regulatory and enforcement environment of anywhere the company operates in North America. Reuters summarized the reasons as the tough regulatory environment and high costs. Valero also took a large impairment on its California assets. Benicia had recently faced a record air-district penalty (about $82 million) for unreported emissions, though the company framed the exit around the broader environment and maintenance costs rather than that fine alone.
Dang, you have to have your head buried deep in the **** to think the refiners just stopped refining in California for no reason. Tens of billions in investment over the years and they just walked away for no reason.

I recall Chevron took a billion dollar hit to GTFO of California, their birthplace.

Never change Stoney. At least you have a new buddy in DerangedTrain and a new neighbor in Jeff

You are an abject moron. Another perfect Trumpist.

By the way, you are wrong all the time. People don't have the heart to tell you because it's not worth it. I don't care about your feelings, so I'm happy to let you know.

I'd call it dementia, but the same problem existed 20 years ago.

I'm sorry for dealing in reality. I know you had to sacrifice it on the Altar of Trump.

I suppose the good news is that, after Vance loses, reason could creep back into the GOP, and we won't have to play this dumb game any more where you have to attack people for pointing out the clothes-less emperor.
