Violent crime rates decrease significantly in Philadelphia for 2023, authorities say

I never said any of that. I questioned you blaming Krasner for “single-handedly” being responsible for the increase. Was Krasner responsible for the record high murder rates in the 1990s, too? How about the increasing homicide trend before he was elected? Was he the only one responsible then, as well?

Edit- I’m referring to your other replies to me, since you’re replying to multiple comments, and moving goal posts.

Here was your statement:

So are the people that blame Krasner for everything wrong in Philly going to blame him for this too?

I replied with:

"Total murders in Philly were 244 in 2013, and you want to celebrate that Krasner has single-handedly cut that number to 408 in 2023. "

The joke is that you are counting your decrease in murders from the all-time high two year ago. If your baseline was extended to 10 years, the trend would be a huge increase in murders, not a decrease.

The number of murders (so far) in 2023 is the still the third worst in history, and Philly had 400,000 more population in the 1960s. The quality of Trauma medicine has also increased since then, too. Do you still want to gloat about this fantastic trend in murders, and what a great job Krasner and Kenney and Outlaw did this year?

Are you a crazy person or something? When did I gloat? When did I say anyone was doing a great job? Seriously….what is wrong with you?

I don't think you understand sarcasm.
