World News and Trends: U.S. crime peril ahead?
According to a recent report from Washington, D.C., "America is bracing itself for a storm of criminal violence that, if some experts are to be believed, will sweep the country on a scale unprecedented in the nation's history."
Right now crime rates are decreasing in most American cities. Washington, D.C., is a major exception. "But gloomy demographers warn the fall in crime will soon end. Over the next decade, they say, some 52 million sub-teens will expand the base of 15- to 19-year-olds—the prime source of armed thuggery—by 15 per cent.""Make a chain," wrote the prophet Ezekiel, "for the land is filled with crimes of blood, and the city is full of violence" (Ezekiel:7:23Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.). One crime would follow another just like links on a chain. No prophecy of your Bible is any more up to date than this one. (Source: The Sunday Times .)
