This is what happens when Leftist policies are not only weak on crime, but condone and defend the criminals
Murder Rates Rising Sharply in Many U.S. Cities
Cities across the nation are seeing a startling rise in murders after years of declines, and few places have witnessed a shift as precipitous as this city. With the summer not yet over, 104 people have been killed this year — after 86 homicides in all of 2014.
More than 30 other cities have also reported increases in violence from a year ago. In New Orleans, 120 people had been killed by late August, compared with 98 during the same period a year earlier. In Baltimore, homicides had hit 215, up from 138 at the same point in 2014. In Washington, the toll was 105, compared with 73 people a year ago. And in St. Louis, 136 people had been killed this year, a 60 percent rise from the 85 murders the city had by the same time last year.
Law enforcement experts say disparate factors are at play in different cities, though no one is claiming to know for sure why murder rates are climbing. Some officials say intense national scrutiny of the use of force by the police has made officers less aggressive and emboldened criminals, though many experts dispute that theory.
There are all sorts of excuses, but, one thing that’s not mentioned is that the majority of these homicides, shootings, and attempted murders involve Blacks. Yes, yes, I know liberals will immediate screech “raaaaacism!!!!!’ But, facts do not lie. One has to ask why Liberals are not only not concerned by the high violent crime rates within the Black community, but why they seemingly defend Blacks killing each other off? Why they deflect attention away from this. Do they just not care? One can even stretch and think that Liberals want Blacks to kill each other off. They’ve obtained a situation where Blacks live in high concentrations in liberal cities, and vote Democratic Party at a rate that would make 3rd world dictators happy. All while Democratic Party policies create highly negative living conditions and high rates of violent crime.
“Everybody’s struggling out here, trying to stay afloat, with no jobs, no opportunities,†said Bethann Maclin, whose 13-year-old daughter stays mostly inside these days. “The violence won’t end. Where do you start?â€
Stop voting Democrat. Stop tolerating the blamestorming of everyone else, including the police. Back law and order.
Surprise?? Our national murder rate is about 1/2 of what it was under Bushthe murder per capita rate peaked under Reagan
1
As the rate of households with guns gas dropped so has the murder rate
The murder rate in states with death penalty is about 2x as high as those states that have no death penalty
9 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are red states
Why can’t red states lower their homovide rates?
John rather proves my point that liberals couldn’t give a sh*t about Blacks killing each other at a very high rate. Instead, he deflects away. It’s almost like he wants Blacks to kill each other, much like liberal goddess Margaret Sanger wanted abortion providers in order to systematically kill as many unborn black babies as possible, what she referred to as a mongrel race.
Another case of John simply making up numbers. The average under Bush was around 5.6 per 100K. It’s about 4.9 for Obama, having started to drop in 2007 after a brief and minor uptick. Yet, now it is spiking, but, more importantly, it is spiking in Black communities.
Why so little concern over Blacks killing each other, John? Is it that you don’t want to expose the terrible policies of Liberals, or that you hate Blacks and want them to all die?
“The murder rate of states with the death penalty is 2x as high as states without the death penalty.” That the murder rate is higher in those states has nothing to do with the death penalty, John- it’s because those states have a higher number of blacks in the population. And we all know blacks commit murder at much higher rates than any other group. Anyway, the death penalty was never meant to be a deterrent, hence it’s name. That’s why it’s called a “death penalty”, not a “death deterrent”. See how easy that was, John?
Surprise: Murder rates highest under President Reagan. A telling correlation.
Surprise: Murder rates highest in conservative states. That’s a disturbing correlation.
Surprise: Murder rates dropped rapidly under President Clinton. Did he do something to cause it or is it just another correlation?
Surprise: Conservative Bobby Jindal’s Louisiana has the highest murder rate of any state. Both Senators are Republicans. 5 of 6 Representatives are Republicans. Both the state House and Senate are controlled by Republicans. Quite a correlation.
The national murder rate now is less than half what it was from 1970-1990. Starting in the early 90s America saw a precipitous drop in the murder rate nationwide. Perhaps First Lady Hillary Clinton was responsible. The timing is right.
Your contention that Democratic mayors have caused a one year rise in murder is as silly as blaming the rise on global warming or Donald Trump’s poll numbers.
Your white supremacist preaching is nothing new. So you think Black men and women aren’t smart enough to vote? Which conservative policy helps them the most? More handguns for teenagers? Cops shooting kids? Fewer jobs? Lower pay? Bad schools?
Surprise, Jeffrey remains clueless.
Why did murder rates drop under Clinton?
I’ll let Michelle Alexander talking to PBS explain it to you.
“It was the Clinton administration that supported many of the laws and practices that now serve millions into a permanent underclass, for example. It was the Clinton administration that supported federal legislation denying financial aid to college students who had once been caught with drugs. It was the Clinton administration that passed laws discriminating against people with criminal records, making it nearly impossible for them to have access to public housing. And it was the Clinton administration that championed a federal law denying even food stamps, food support to people convicted of drug felonies.”
Rather ironic for the first Black president.
As for murder rates and democrat controlled cities, lets let the NY Times address that, showing the difference in murder rates from 2014 to the present.
Milwaukee…………..up 76%
St.Louis……………up 60%
Baltimore…………..up 56%
Washington………….up 44%
New Orleans…………up 22%
Chicago…………….up 20%
Get a clue.
