CNN Worries About Polling
Does anyone remember a year ago when violent crime in London caught up to New York City? Those days are long gone. New York City is seeing the highest crime rates so far this century. Overall violence is up more than 130 percent from last year. The violence is rampant, and it includes assault, theft, homicide and rape.
This may be hard to believe but in L.A., the story is substantially worse. The LAPD has reported that homicides alone are up 250 percent since before the riots started. And homicides in L.A. have become increasingly brutal.
