"I think what you're seeing in Asheville right now is a culmination of the last several years of pulling police back and not letting them do their jobs like they're able to do," former Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.
Asheville, a city of approximately 90,000 people nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Buncombe County, North Carolina, has seen a 31% surge in violent crime per 100,000 people from 2016 to 2020, according to statistics released in the spring. Asheville's growth in violent crime is nearly double that of the national average and ranks among the highest in North Carolina, where violent crime has increased 13% statewide.












Comment: There isn't much more information available online yet as to why so many cattle are being forced to the slaughter, however, over in the UK, up to 200,000 pigs were culled because they were 'too big to be sold in supermarket packaging'; similar mandates for mass culls are being threatened over in Ireland, Canada, and the Netherlands; and there have been moves by some in the Italian government to push through legislation allowing the use of GMOs, and so the likelihood of this occurring isn't without precedent.
