  1. Thanks for posting the Bill Barr article; he is “right on.”

    His numbers are a little off. In 2020 there were 12,000 arrests for murder, 210,000 for robbery, and 380,000 for aggravated assault. (Rape arrests were not available in this report.)

    That is quite a bit less than 1% of the population. (which is fine — we do not have enough jails to hold 1% of 330 million.)
