But immigrants…
What is the general assault rate or associated crimes? What category is that ?Homicide and related? I’m not sure.
This can’t be right because I have a number of whimsical anecdotes and old wives tales to the contrary
I’m more concerned with petty vandalism down 80%, while heavy sack beatings are up a shocking 900%.

So the cops are getting lazier then.

Oh no, wait…
Open the gyms!
CSO just making shit up to serve the government again

I wonder if there’s a metric for gauging how many crimes go unreported due to lack of confidence in the gardai/justice system
