The lax attitude toward crime in blue states hasn’t faded even as the country has shifted away from the crime-tolerant attitude of 2020 progressives. This means blue states are still putting residents at risk from dangerous people.

Connecticut just released a man who killed someone with a hatchet and ate part of the victim’s brain and an eyeball. That man, Tyree Smith, was found not guilty by reason of insanity due to schizophrenia and alcohol and drug disorders. In 2013, he was ordered to be confined for 60 years to the state’s only maximum-security psychiatric hospital, which seems reasonable enough.
