Now that the mail voting from California is starting to trickle in, they have confirmed that New York (and New York city specifically) was the Republicans' best state last night, lmao. https://twitter.com/NYTMetro/status/1590511252446801922

Great call running on crime panic in New York. Glad all those Cuomo holdovers are still in charge of the party there and still making disastrous mistakes.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Even my liberbal parents who proudly voted Democrat this election were telling me to be careful going into the city and to be extra safe. People are 100% convinced crime is out of control. Hell, even I was for a bit until I went to NYC and realized it hadn't changed at all and people were being silly.

HashtagGirlboss posted:The crime wave narrative has absolutely broken people’s brains There were a lot more shootings, assaults, and murders in NYC the past two years. But, crime overall was pretty flat or down because violent crime is a relatively small amount of total crime. So, it is pretty silly, but not entirely invented. You are more likely to get assaulted or shot in NYC today than you were at any other point in the last 30 years, but that chance is still incredibly small in the grand scheme of things and not even close to as high as it was in the 70's. That answer doesn't really make people feel any better if you tell them that, though.

The thing is, the "crime wave" narrative didn't work anywhere except New York, even in places where crime is provably, statistically worse. It failed catastrophically in my home state, which is full of easily frightened white folks two years after George Floyd. The fact that NYC has a shithouse mayor who is obsessed with freaking out over crime, and that NYS's party leadership is staggeringly incompetent, is the far more parsimonious explanation.

Vox Nihili posted:Pretty much none of this is true, the "more dangerous than any time in the last thirty years" thing in particular is an insane lie Murders, shootings, and violent crime were way up in NYC in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Murder was up 47% and shootings were up 72%. You are right that I was slightly off on the number of years. Violent crime is currently about as high as it was in 2002, so it is about 20 years and not 30 years. Those are pretty small parts of overall crime, though. The total murders increased by about 140. Not great that 140 more people were murdered, but it is also a city of about 8 million, so your chance of getting murdered is still incredibly small in 2022, even if it is higher than it was in 2019.

Arguing about whether or not there are more shootings now than 30 years ago is just accepting the enemy's frame of reference.

These charts show 2020 but it's 2022. 2020 isn't a year I'd use in any statistical analysis for obvious reasons. So discarding that year, between 2016 and 2019 shootings are down almost 20%...

The big lie wrt crime wave narrative especially wrt shootings/assaults is that these are crimes your average tourist or commuter or resident has anything to be particularly afraid of Raw numbers may be up but the violence is within specific communities that your average tourist or commuter or resident simply does not interact with The spike is real. The consequences are real. The fear is manufactured

I live in an area with occasional gang violence (in my region, not, like, my neighborhood) but its practically always gang on gang violence as established gangs squabble for territory and ranking. They don't involve random bystanders and they aren't really expansionary. Its terrible to read about a murder taking place in an area you could walk to on a nice day, but the odds of it ever involving anyone outside of a few scattered blocks of gang territory or affiliated with one of the gangs are slim to none. Violence happens, but its hardly random, I'm not at risk, and the cops aren't going to do poo poo about stopping it.

Sadly, a huge portion of the gun violence is drug related, gang related, or domestic incidents. The "good" news is that the already pretty small chance of getting murdered shrinks to an even smaller subsection of an already small likelihood because the violence is largely concentrated about certain groups or areas.

Just a few months ago my brother was directly opposite of some dudes who shot at someone they knew in a car from their stoop, so I guess I can empathize with people who worry they or people they know will be randomly gunned down. Hell I guess I'm the target audience for ads like that since someone also broke into my apt. and stabbed him; but even saying that if I hear the words "Tough on Crime" from a politician or them talking about how they love the police they lose all goodwill I could ever hold for them but I dont expect 70 year old rich white people to understand that. Cant wait for the Dems to instead implement gun control that doesnt just leave insane fascists armed and address the root cause of most violent crime which is structural poverty 😎👍

Its a story that appeals to the perpetually cowardly who imagine themselves constantly under attack, so the actual incidence of crime is almost irrelevant to the impact of the rhetoric except in the most vague 'number go up' kind of way.
