My only takeaway is that on some level, a lot of people really want to live in fear.
Letting one dramatic headline make you so emotional that you ignore larger trends in data is such a choice. It's not required.
And as far as culture wars go, when it comes to something like gay marriage I get it, there's a policy winner and loser there.
But what's the point of pretending cities are more dangerous than they are? The people there know the true level of safety, and how it differs from the performative outrage discourse.
