Murder dropped by more than 11% in largest single-year decline in decades while rape and other crimes also fell
Murder dropped by more than 11% from 2022 to 2023, the largest single-year decline in two decades, according to FBI data released on Monday.
Meanwhile, the broader category of violent crime nationwide decreased about 3%, said the data, which is audited and confirms earlier reporting from unaudited statistics.
Monday’s release of audited data contradicts a talking point that Donald Trump has made on the campaign trail as the Republican presidential nominee seeks a return to the White House during the 5 November election: that crime has been rampant and out of control without him in power.

Yeah, but feels before reals
Yeah, but it’s not like the GOP would knowingly and repeatedly lie to advance their own causes. Wait, I’m being handed a note, hold on.
Mmhmm, I see.
So, it seems that is, in fact, pretty much their entire playbook. Sorry for the mistake.
All the GOP does is lie. That is what they have to offer.
Yeah but what about migrant murder? It’s a whole new type of murder no one’s ever heard of before!
At levels no one has seen!
Of course it did… Murders started creeping up in 2019, you know, when Trump was President:

Up again in 2020, despite the pandemic, again, when Trump was President.
“The U.S. murder rate rose 30% between 2019 and 2020 – the largest single-year increase in more than a century”
And 2021, + another 5% on top of the +30%.

And down slightly in 2022.

Of course it went down in 2023, we’re still recovering from the pre and post covid spike.
Fake crimes like pet abduction/consumption are way way up, though.
And voter fraud, don’t forget that one! I heard over 40 billion illegal immigrants voted in California elections this year!
Meanwhile deaths by the police have increased, again.
Yet killings by police went up.
