Got me curious. Got to googling and stopped here. file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/2021%20Crime%20Statistics%20Summary.pdf

Page 16 suggests that 5:1 is in the ballpark, at least as far as the ratio of reported crimes to arrests for same, though it ranges a fair bit according to the "category" of felony.

Now, conviction rates vs. arrest rates differ - who knows by how much. . . But, 13 felony *convictions* would suggest at *least* 65 felonies committed.

Why is something like that out in our midst? Why did this woman - and the rest of us - need to face such an easily preventable risk from such a subhuman? That's uncivilized.
