2023 review: Smash-and-grab epidemic crippled Democratic cities
 

Also known as "flash mob" robberies, smash-and-grabs are defined as criminal actions conducted after "breaking a window of a car, store, etc., and stealing whatever can be taken quickly."
 

This type of criminal activity has been utilized by robbers in the past few years, but 2023 saw their popularity appear to rise as videos, police reports, and stories of businesses closing flooded social media.

In January, a gang of masked thieves stole up to $2 million worth of high-end jewelry from Facets Fine Jewelry in the Park Slope area of New York City.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
