Crime is a concern across Indiana, not just in Indianapolis. Speaking at an impromptu press conference on Thursday, Gov. Eric Holcomb reiterated that different cities in the state have different approaches to handling crime.
“I’m concerned about crime all over, he said. “First and foremost, I won’t get into the nitty gritty of individual campaigns whether they be in Fort Wayne, Indy, Gary, Jeffersonville, Evansville, or any city or town in-between.”
Some people have criticized Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett for his handling of crime. Recently, Hogsett revealed that the city was joining a national lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai for allegedly not providing adequate anti-theft measures in their vehicles.
“We will continue to partner where we can and where as needed as a state and we have a very good record of doing just that,” Holcomb said. “In terms of crime, we have always said, and I will also approach it this way, that if you want to detour violent crime, then you ought to prosecute as such.”
In the last 72 hours in Indiana, eight people have been shot, three fatally. Indianapolis city leaders have called for an end to the violent crime that has gripped the area.

The spike in crime comes entirely from the leftist prosecutors, mayors, police chiefs, and the entire gamut of leftist politicians and talking heads. Joe Hogsett is a low grade moron, but he’s a great example of how his entire party operates.
They need to check on background to see if anyone was changer with weapons and gun and like person who never done anything else in there live gets there guns rights tooking a way and some state attorney put fear to people and theating people for 20 years and when you look at books of frist time infants they look you as a person who done it before and real life they didn’t so I believe they need to look at like the second chance for the person who been waiting for 5 years and the state attorney said I have to wait 5 years and Court said no we go back when you first got on probation and changed not. Year after that
