There is good news, not just here in the US but globally. The world is, overall, becoming less violent. Obviously the violence that still occurs; both domestically and abroad- is unacceptable. But pointing out the facts around the decline in crime rates should not be considered somehow "apologia" for the crime itself. For the life of me, I can't figure out how that works- facts are facts.
