‘Oops, we meant to say UP,’ says FBI after months of saying crime is down

WASHINGTON, D.C. — FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress Wednesday, confirming what many have known for months: the crime rate is not down, it’s up.

In his opening remarks, Director Wray said, “Oops, we meant to say up. Crime is up. It is not, as previously stated, down. It’s possible we have been holding the chart upside down for the past several months. Our bad.”

The director’s remarks lasted almost five minutes. Congressional Democrats appeared flustered, even ill, as Wray spoke while many Republicans rolled their eyes in annoyance.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
