(CNN)After decades of a downward trend in crime, residents in some large U.S. cities wonder if a reversal is coming. If you live in Baltimore, you know that May, with 43 homicides, was the deadliest month since 1972. Or if you are a Houstonian, you've probably heard that murders were up 45% through April compared to the same period in 2014. The latest statistics in Milwaukee show a 103% spike in murders year-to-date compared with a year ago. The spike in killings in these major cities would be troubling in itself at any time, but it is especially troubling now, when policing practices, race and social policies are regularly in the news.

The police are staging a go-slow tactic. Enforcement is down substantially in many communities just as the states are setting records at paroling long-term felons, many of them serving hard time for serious crimes and very unlikely to have been rehabilitated in prison so they'll return to major crimes on release from prison. It's a perfect storm for a rapid rise in crime across the nation, particularly in the most populous states. The area from NYC to Miami will see the biggest rises but California won't be far behind. I think the stats next year will show that 2015 was a field day for sex offenders of all stripes.
I couldn't even find any crime statistics for my town.
No surprise. LF's readers trend strongly rural, very few metro types here.
Good. I'd have absolutely NO idea on how to dress.
For you usually pants, a shirt and some kind of footwear should suffice - underwear optional.

Thanks! You'd be surprised at how much help I sometimes need. As in: I'm really having much worse vision. (I stinks.) Okay, here is a 24" Seiki - but what the heck is a 'Seiki'?

But then I'd bet that they didn't count the deer
eating the shrubbery. Exiting place we have here.

And probably would not want to associate with anyone who did.

So I'm thinking: 'A new 24" flat screen monitor'.
To help me with my vision problems, you see.
You think I can find help in picking one? Not yet...
I mean, really?
