I personally haven't seen both sides of the coin, so please guys feel free to share your experiences of NYC as I find it interesting.
I'm sure some of you have stories to tell.
Many of our major cities are spiking in various crimes. Where one type of crime may taper off, another rises.
New York is an example of that.

Gun crimes on the rise in Columbus.
Compare to New York

The link itself states:
1. Gun arrests across the five boroughs remain at a record high, according to the latest NYPD crime statistics.
2. While there is an alarming gun violence trend in the city, overall, according to officials, crime is down


I agree with @NoSavingByTheBell position: He didn't make a thread about crime, he made a thread about what he deems to be scary (an opinion)
He validates it by showing how often crazy (expletive) occurs via these videos.

I agree that while guns for example aren't used for committing more crimes than the previous year- they are used for violence,be it domestic, revenge.
unprovoked ass whoopings occurring so often, one can ask: what is happening to my beloved city- that we can witness women cold-cocking men?
Ass butt naked people starting altercations.

Conclusion for me is stats don't provide jack nada nothing as it relates to most of the videos shown. A fight breaks out & is recorded by a phone, but doesn't make the spreadsheet.

Not every person stabbed will report it.
There is a sad reality to watching these videos and reading the justification as if to state- it could be worse. Why?

Something in Columbus Ohio has law makers feeling the need to pass carry conceal for knives & now get this: brass knuckles.

Not sure what statistics can prove the need for brass knuckles. That's the vibe of the people letting us know how scary things have become- when legislature is considered for all things: brass knuckles?
