I lived in a small Sanctuary city with double the crime rate than New York city which, in itself has skyrocketed. 1 in 143 chance of being victim of a violent crime besides the terrible stuff that goes on in the schools. Drug and Prostitution cartels run everything and get no jail time. Burglary statistic is 1 in 43. Shoplifting is a career. Nobody stops them from walking in and just taking because the state will just bounce them back on the street and nobody wants to get shot. The end result is businesses close an society and culture break down to ghetto status. Everything is held in place by fear and intimidation and gang rivalries.
