Frankly I don't know the last time anybody I know has been affected by violent crime. But scarcely a week goes by when somebody in the executive doesn't do something criminal or criminal-adjacent (e.g. insider trading).
Like are we living in the same world? IMO the Epstein-class is 100 time bigger a threat than getting mugged, and if we are going to have be scrutinizing people it needs to be measuring that our public servants aren't taking bribes, selling classified documents, meeting with Russians, etc.
