Sensenbrenner was right

The headlines in yesterday's Milwaukee paper were, "Violent crimes leap in city."

This is the same paper that criticized Rep. Sensenbrenner a few weeks ago when he warned that violent crime was on the rise in the city. The paper's editorial board complained that Sensenbrenner should get his facts straight.

No mention in this newest article that Sensenbrenner was right, and the editorial board was clueless as usual.

Note that the murder rate is down, not because fewer people are getting shot, but because fewer victims die due to heroic measures taken by emergency medical teams.

Even idiots must be right sometimes by accident, like stopped clocks.
