Reply to comment by somedudevt in Burlington had 5 murders in 2022, the most since 1960 by BoringAccountName78

Care to show where I said we should take no action?

You said it’s an anomaly till we have more data. That is saying that we should wait for data before we think it’s worth addressing. It’s implied in the statement. Gathering more data is inaction. I can’t be alone in recognizing that the entire world is broken… nobody trusts instinct and observation any longer. Everything is crippled by waiting for data, which is then argued over. Look at the world warming and species dying while people argue over data. This is another case of that. It’s an anomaly we don’t need to act. Nobody wants to make a decision and take an action.

That’s you making assumptions about my intent. I’m not responsible for your assumptions.

So let’s be clear:

Do you believe that there is an issue in need of addressing?

Do I think that there’s an issue that will lead to a trend in rising murder rates? Probably not. Do I think issues that exist that by solving would probably lower the crime rate in general? One hundred percent.
