I was thinking the same thing, since I was both alive in the 90s, and have read several books that talk talk about all the various theories on why crime declined so much in the 90s. Then I went to look and it seems since 2016 we’ve been on a meteoric rise and have surpassed the 90s numbers, at least when it comes to gun violence. It’s going up faster than it dropped.
Do you want to get shot? The 90s were a simpler time.
I hear guns existed back in the Before Times too.
Yeah, but people are a lot more shooty now.
If you think that’s true, I feel like you didn’t live through the same 90s I did lol

Carjacking generally doesn’t involve someone in one car stealing a second car.

That article only goes back to 2018 tho
Rose tinted glasses, my dude. It also depends on the location. Most places I’ve lived have gotten A LOT safer in the past 3 decades.
Shootings still happen, though.

Well, shit.
Thanks for that info.
Someone doesn’t remember how ridiculously violent the 90s were.
Violent crime is lower today than the 90’s.
