E.J Montini in the Arizona Republic has some startling revelations for the purveyors of fear in Arizona. Beheadings are way down in Arizona. (In fact, they never rose above zero.) Even worse for Arizona’s most prominent elected officials, the FBI just released statistics showing that violent crime in Arizona fell nearly 14 percent in 2009, the largest drop of any state except South Dakota. A breakdown of some of the crime numbers paints an even uglier picture for Brewer, McCain and other fearmongering pols.
