@tworedjags@ForwardCarolina Wow, I checked the stats and Asheville has actually increased police salaries from $37,000 to $51,000 since 2020. A 38% salary increase. Your whole narrative is bullshit.
Crime rate is a measure of how likely you are to experience crime in two different locations. I can live in Mecklenburg which has more total homicides (bad) but it's 5x less likely for me to get murdered (very good!!) than in Montgomery.
The very obvious policy positions are:
1. A well-trained and staffed police
2. Better mental health intervention and treatment
3. Treatment for drug users
4. Remove guns from dangerous people
All of these policies have to be passed by the General Assembly who have failed NC for years. They failed to pass a real budget for three years (leading to understaffed police) and they failed to address the core issues of violent crime in Iryna's Law including the very reason Iryna Zarutska was killed (he was schizophrenic and certifiably insane, hence why he can't stand trial).
@tworedjags@ForwardCarolina Insightful as always Jackson. There's also 1000x more natural deaths in cities as well, because we only know how look at the raw numbers.
@tworedjags@ForwardCarolina Mecklenburg doesn't even make the top 10. Both counties Brenden Jones represents are some of the deadliest in the state.
Maybe instead of crying on twitter they should do something about the problems in their district.
@tworedjags@ForwardCarolina Actually I think all homicides are wrong and I think its gross you only care about crime when its in a blue city.
Also, who writes the state policy Jackson? Governor or NCGA?
My brother in Christ.
This is a quote from you in 2025 after you refused to endorse Harris:
"Anyone who told you Kamala Harris would do anything differently is a delusional moron... do not listen to them."
No one is buying your "we need to rally around the party" schtick.
@RealLiamR1 It's so ridiculous. You can't even hold someone accountable for lying without the accusations of harassment, stalking, obsession, etc.
I don't know if he specifically broke any campaign laws, but it sure seems like he pushed close to the edge.
