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 7:23). 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.)
