| Democrat-run tourist town in North Carolina sees violent crime spike as police dwindle: 'Perfect storm' |
| 2022-09-14 |
| [FoxNews] Asheville, North Carolina, the hub of Antifa in the area, has seen a 31% surge in violent crime within five years. Multiple local law enforcement sources who spoke to Fox News Digital laid partial blame for the deteriorating condition of a North Carolina tourist town on the city's liberal political leadership and on left-wing activists who undermine police. "I think what you're seeing in Asheville right now is a culmination of the last several years of pulling police back and not letting them do their jobs like they're able to do," former Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. |

| #13 Asheville is the home of The Highland Brewing Company. They make great beer. There is a large Islamic center there. |

| #11 Let me know when they turn the Biltmore into the Homeless Camp and illegal immigrant housing. A lot of California politicians would like to do just that. |

| #10 The Biltmore was stunning, the town in 2012 was nice, felt like a college town, but the bifurcation wasn't town and gown, but rather bike lanes and Stella Artois vs F-150's and Bud. |

| #6 Now see, we have issues like this in Houston, but what the lamestream press doesn't like to say is even in deep blue houston, criminals get shot by citizens on a weekly basis and they don't prosecute the citizens because they KNOW what will happen. During the stupidity riots in '20, the city of Houston police stomped on the protests hard because if they had left the center of town, it'd of been a blood bath. They were desperately afraid of them going out into places with normal citizens who in Texas WILL defend their homes, businesses etc with immediate and overwhelming violence. |

| #5 the business community there has been fighting the homeless/activist problem Isn't NC the hub of illegal immigration on the east coast? Why so many arrest reports of immigrants child rape originate from NC. The business community is the attractor and source of sustenance for illegal immigration. |

| #4 ...Asheville is an unusually good example of political schizophrenia - the business community there has been fighting the homeless/activist problem there for years....BUT THEY KEEP VOTING THESE LUNATICS BACK IN. It's a shame - Asheville was a pretty nice place, but it's based on tourism. That goes away, so do all the goodies. And I've said this before and I'll say it again - most people think that NC is RDU, Charlotte, and Asheville...and it ain't. Outside of those city limits, it's as red a state as you can find. Mike |

| #3 Asheholes deserve to get what they voted for. This is literally what Antifa wants. Their whole thing is the destruction of capitalist society. You're letting them win. Without even fighting. Good job there. |
