#1 Abortions are down, shootings are up. Not to worry, it's a carefully choreographed balancing act. Order a pizza and flip on a Yankees game.

#2 In Dallas, sometime in the 1990's, they were on track for 1,000 murders near the end of the year. Not bad, for a city of around a million people.

Up 45% is scary, but up from 11 to 16 - that's just enough to keep the crime shows in business..

#3 "Sixteen people were killed around the borough between the first of the year and Sunday."

Didn't Baltimore have 20 over the weekends? Or is that just shootings and not deaths?

Depends on how any facts can be bent to fit the meme.

We're talking Manhattan, not NYC at large.

#8 If Progressives are happy to embrace numbers well within the statistical error margin as 'proof' of gerbil warming, then this is certainly 'proof' that murder and mayhem are on the lose in Manhattan.

Build a mountain out of a mole hill for thee, but not one for me?

Agreed, but just in the late afternoon and evening, Dr. Steve.

One long summer weekend would top Manhattan's YTD.

Other NY borough stats would need to be added to even be close.
