>Well luckily nobody ever said this
The anon did say this. He said that this news story is about the effects of the Washington pursue laws - the effects being robberies. He explicitly said it. A little reading comprehension goes a long ways.

>but since you bring it up im sure it's just coincidence that the big cities that started practicing this whole "criminal justice reform" business, also all had huge spikes in crime over the last 3 years... NYC, SF, Seattle
There's this thing they teach you somewhere around the 8th grade called substantiation. As it turns out, coincidence is not evidence of anything. You could very well be right - specific progressive policies on crime could absolutely contribute to an increase in crime. In order for that to be established you'd need a thing called proof - especially for something as insanely complex as the sorts of things that influence crime rates. Believe it or not, crime doesn't just simply go up and down for one or two reasons. HUNDREDS of reasons contribute to crime rates - that's why we require PROOF to make causative claims. You see, without proof, anybody can just point at two things that happened at the same time and say they're connected. That kind of world would be chaos. You don't wanna live in chaos, do you anon?
