I'm pretty sure this has been happening for a very long time. Its just that the media is now reporting it more than it had before.

They report the home invasions in order to take our attention away from other LI QOL issues-- such as illegal immigration, high taxes....

News 12 calls them immigrants, not illegals. Have you noticed that?

As for the home invasions, honestly, they can happen anywhere. Just need to be careful these days.

They've been perpetrating that immigrant spin since day 1. I wonder what union is paying them extra to play up the home invasions? hmmm...if people feel less safe, they'll want more ______ protection?

I suppose that technically they are immigrants. News 12 just conveniently leaves out the "illegal" part.

What's happening is a recession

when the economy goes down, and people are out of work, crime trends up

The news generally only reports depressing stuff...unless someone did something majorly heroic, then you will hear about that...but usually it's accidents, fires, robberies etc. etc. Not just News12, most news is like that.
