Under Fetterman's watch, crime skyrocketed & the town of Braddock's population declined

Under Sloth Fetterman's watch, crime skyrocketed & the town of Braddock's population declined. In the 1st year in over a decade that Fetterman wasn't mayor, Braddock's crime rate dropped 61%. Fetterman would make Pennsylvania MORE dangerous and LESS safe.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), running against Dr. Mehmet Oz for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat, says he was “very successful” in reducing crime as he oversaw a crime surge while mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania.

During a town hall in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, Fetterman claimed he was “very successful in reducing, in driving crime down substantially” in Braddock and touted that the small town of fewer than 1,800 residents “went five and a half years in town without a homicide.”

Fetterman, who served as Braddock mayor from 2006 through 2018, oversaw crime surges as well as a declining population despite repeatedly promising to attract new residents and revitalize the area.

Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shows violent crime, specifically, began spiking between 2013 and 2018. In 2017, violent crime peaked as the number of reports to local police quadrupled compared to 2006.

Similarly, robberies in the area surged in 2017 along with property crimes, burglaries, larceny-theft, and motorcycle vehicle theft. All property crimes saw a surge from 2017 through 2019.

In most cases, crime in Braddock actually dropped back down to its historical levels after Fetterman left the mayor’s office to become the state’s lieutenant governor.

Braddock’s crime rate, according to City-Data.com, is higher than nearly 60 percent of American cities. In 2019, the first year in over a decade that Fetterman was not mayor, the town’s crime rate dropped by 61 percent.

While Fetterman has long vowed to be a voice for forgotten American towns and cities, gutted by globalization and free trade, the town of Braddock saw a declining population while he was mayor.

In the year 2000, Braddock was home to almost 3,000 residents. By 2010, that population had declined by nearly 26 percent. In 2020, Braddock’s population hit fewer than 1,800 residents.

Percentages are great if you want to make something worse or better than they actually are, 1 to 2, or 2 to 1 is a 100% change. Would you please post the actual numbers so we can see how bad it really was.

Braddock will never come back. I used to to business at Braddock hospital years ago. I saw a guy get shot in the parking lot at 6am. UPMC bought it then shut it down. I think they tore it down and built something else. It’s a shithole. And will be.

Yep Bam - and Fetterman made Braddock even worse

Braddock is still the shithole that it was 20 yrs. ago. I used to do work there, so I saw it first hand.

One pistol on your person, if it was nice place, with low crime.

Two pistols if it was known to be a bit dangerous.

Three pistols if it was known to be really bad, Braddock, Clairton, McKees Rocks, Duquesne, virtually any locale that had Allegheny County Housing authorities, were on the list, even the one in Natrona Heights, but it was a two pistol.

Later on we also factored Kevlar and or armor plated vests into the equation.

No armor in good places, soft armor in level/pistol two areas, and then level 4, soft with a hard plate on top, for pistol 3 areas, this was where known rifle crimes were perpetrated.

Why even work there?

Davis-Bacon baby, or, Section 8 projects that had the requirement to pay union scale, that meant 40 bucks per hours instead of 7 bucks an hour back in the eighties, a months pay in a week.

Advertising and promoting yourself as the Mayor of Braddock, is about one level up from of being Mayor of Chernobyl, all were wastelands, with no police, but, they weren't Nuclear wastelands, yet.

Fetterman is a racist SCHMUCK, how many of you are cheering him on for holding a black man at gun point, for the crime of......

Being black in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Answer me this, if Fetterman was an R, what would be your take on his racism?

... They'd be protesting at his door and crying
that Fetterman be taken OFF the ballot.

... IF he were a Republican.

in his ad what he actually says he will do if elected is actually the opposite of what he will do if elected , not only that he will continue to make sure that what the voter wants wont happen.

heres some real weasel lies by uncle festerman in his current ad


he blames washington for the current economic issues , spiked inflation, supply chain issues, gas prices , out of control spending etc. he tries to project the premise and distance himself from the issues and that he will go there and clean it up because thats what voters want to hear.

the truth is these issues are all owned by the democrats.the last two years of their control are mind boggling what they have done to economy of our nation

cutting off pipelines, stopping drilling, out of control spending ,pushing woke ideology, vaccines and liberal issues that affect companies economically ,also raising taxes on companies ,wasting billions of tax dollars on liberal , green voodoo . masking a green voodoo bill that will increase utilities across the country as a deficit and inflation reduction bill.

the truth is these are issues created and owned by the democrats that were voted on and supported by 100 % in the senate and approx 95% in the house . most of all mr festerman if elected will do the exact opposite of what he says he will do , he will be a rubber stamp for these issues to continue for the next 6YEARS . he will very happily become a part of the swamp if elected.

and of course my favorite of all , you can always count on it in every democrat ad in pa, every election, every democrat .

they will cut taxes for the working class

the truth is just the opposite, the irs just hired 87000 agents to pursue you and more of your taxes. as a matter of fact the only democrat tax cut was john f, kennedy in the 60s
oh there was a cut by the last administration all across the board for every tax payer but i wont mention who did it dont want see you haters get all blustered . also every pa governor in the last 20 years had a tax increase on working families in their budget that the pa republicans stopped. anyone remember big ed and the year pa went an entire year without a budget , it was all because he wanted more of your working class money .

festerman will be a rubber stamp against any REPUBLICAN PROPOSED TAX CUT and for any democrat proposed TAX INCREASE.

the repetitive lies ive seen for over 40 years in democrat ads are really sad pieces of misinformation twists of truth that actually hide what they do when they get elected . uncle festerman will do the exact opposite of what his ad says , he just wants you to believe it because you are too busy to find the truth. thats why he is hiding he doesnt want you to hear the answers he has to give in a debate , he wants you to believe he will be different than other democrats if he wins . totally and unequivocally historically false.

That ad is just plain laughable coming from him. I heard someone say - that sounds like a Trump ad criticizing Senile Biden and the libtards in Congress. Is sloth Fetterman's brain damage so bad that he doesn't understand what party has been in charge in DC the last 2 years?

Beside being brain damaged, he is a lying sack of shit

Name a current politician that isn't a lying sack of shit.

We'll wait...

they all do it, all libtards do anyway im sure of that

well this is a little different its lying and totally deceitful, and unscrupulous. its also totally misrepresenting what you will do if your elected . its taking an issue that voters care about that affects their life every single day and pretending that you dont belong to the party that created these policies or you are somehow seperate from them when the truth is you will do everything you can to support the policies the voter wants rid of. its arrogance of the highest order.

hey voters hes just smarter than you not his fault your so busy providing for your family and trying to make ends meet that you cant find the truth on your own . he will just fool you and you can be fooled for six more years.

lies and twists of truth, sure a lot of that in leftland but this is downright deceitful and unprincipled . but no surprise hes a clown , a pretender, an arrogant shell and hes about as honest as well most libtards .

and if you want to vote for him just consider this , if he has to lie and pretend and deceive to get elected then whats he really got to offer and why wont he truthfully say what he will do for six years that helps you and your family . why should he get a free pass ,he sure isnt going to change what the democrats have done for 2 years , crickets in that area .

Right-leaning moderate who supported McCormick.

Oz isn't any more honest about who he is than Fetterman is. I'm not going to vote for either, because they've done shit to deserve it. I don't vote straight ticket. I don't give a fuck about conservatives having a double majority because they haven't proven that they deserve it.

Don't believe me? Don't care.

But trying to use honesty and credibility for either party here is disingenuous. And if Oz wasn't a legit carpetbagger with zero in common with the common Pennsylvanian, he wouldn't be running behind Fetterman.

LOL, again

again so typically cynical and exactly what the libtards want voters to do, to take your eyes off the issues and the last two years and just look at the two candidates and not what they will do if elected

both bad hum..

choice is so easy ,

if your happy with the last two years you know who to vote for, for festerman can pretend but anyone who knows, knows where hes at and what hes going to do , and nothing will change


doesnt mind if the other is a rino, a cad , a tv star wannabe or even a fake. he will work to change the policies of the last two years . period.

Those are your politics and your choice. Be you. Vote your conscience.

I'm not going to support a guy who isn't worthy of my vote simply because you want change. This shouldn't be a close election and Fetterman shouldn't be in the lead. But he is. And that speaks to the utter failure of the primary to produce the best candidate for the job.

He has to earn mine. He hasn't. Doesn't look like he will.

And if that costs you the control and the change you want, it doesn't bother me one bit.
