"There's been an amazing number of crime scares started by conservatives the past few years. Not just the knockout game, but the claim that the Chicago murder rate skyrocketed under Rahm and in New York under de Blasio (it didn't, it stayed at historic lows). But it's part of the right-wing narrative, numbers be damned." -- DougJ, "Don't you know the crime rate's going up up up up up?", Balloon Juice [thanks to realinterrobang for quoting this earlier]

To my friends who will be celebrating Yom Kippur tonight and tomorrow, may you have an easy fast.
