HALLOWEEN WEEKEND TOOK A GRIM TURN THIS YEAR…
WITH NINE MASS SHOOTINGS OCURRING COAST TO COAST.
IN ALL…10 PEOPLE DIED…46 WERE INJURED.
ONE OF THE MASS SHOOTINGS…A DRIVE BY IN CHICAGO…WHERE 14 PEOPLE INCLUDING THREE CHILDREN WERE INJURED.
THE HALLOWEEN CRIME WAVE COMES ONE WEEK OUT FROM THE MIDTERM ELECTION…WHERE ONGOING VIOLENCE HAS BOLSTERED CRIME AS A TOP CONCERN FOR VOTERS.
NOT JUST A TOP 5 ISSUE OR TOP THREE ISSUE.
THE LATEST GALLUP POLL HAS CRIME AS THE **SECOND MOST IMPORTANT DRIVING FACTOR BEHIND A PERSON’S VOTE.
THE FIRST BEING ECONOMY…AND ABORTION ROUNDS OUT THE TOP THREE.
IT’S SOMETHING REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO CAPITALIZE ON…GOING AFTER DEMOCRATIC REFORM POLICIES AND DEFUND THE POLICE RHETORIC.
“rafael warnock called police thugs, then cut their funding, now he wants to end cash bail.”
“woke leaders blame the police. I blame the criminals.”
WHETHER OR NOT IT PLAYS A ROLE AT THE POLLS IS YET TO BE KNOWN.
BUT IT IS PLAYING A ROLE IN EVERYDAY SOCIETY.
WITH MORE THAN HALF OF AMERICANS SAYING CRIME HAS INCREASED IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS COMPARED TO ONE YEAR AGO.
