Again, you want to have a semantic argument over that term, I'm not really interested. I've made my point and backed it up with statistics. You disagree on the scope of the problem. We can leave it at that.
Nah, I’ll leave it at your portfolio analogy. If one part of my portfolio sky rocketed while the rest remained relatively the same, or dropped, but it as a whole declined I’d tell people...my investments are down. I get you regret your word choice but it’s okay to admit you misspoke and you meant murders.
While murders being up is an issue, the fact crime as a whole is down makes the wide brush of lawlessness your trying to paint way more complex.
