My mistake......it didn't start increasing until 2004 and then It took a big jump in 2005:

It increased moderately in 2005. And the 2005 level was still lower than any year under Clinton.

In 2005, violent crimes were up 2.5%. Murder was up 4.8%. Those percentages when applied to large bases become sizeable numbers. In other words, they are not considered "moderate" increases.

I point to statistics to back up my case, you point to spin. You start with a headline that asserts the jump was big when it wasn't.

Because the article gave percentages instead of actual numbers, you're calling that spin? Apparently spin means something different to you than to me.
