Let’s be honest, we all know what happened outside the ballpark for the Washington Nationals: a bunch of low lifes/gangbangers shooting each other up. The area itself is already known to be a high crime area, a 7 out of 10, 10 being the highest. Seriously, our nation’s capitol is a 3, meaning it is safer than just 3% of U.S. cities
Shooting near Nationals Park puts renewed focus on another weekend of gun violence in US
A series of shootings over the weekend in Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and other American cities underscored the ongoing rise in shootings and gun violence in the US this year.
The shooting near Nationals Park in DC was the most prominent of the incidents, as the audible gunshots sent fans and players scrambling for safety in the middle of a Washington Nationals baseball game.
Other shootings injured children, including a 1-year-old wounded on Saturday night in Philadelphia. They further a trend of heightened gun violence that emerged after Covid-19 lockdowns were lifted.
According to the FBI’s preliminary 2020 findings, the number of murders rose by 25% between 2019 and 2020 — the largest jump recorded in the US in a one-year period since the FBI began releasing annual figures in the 1960s. Findings from the National Commission on Covid-19 and Criminal Justice were similar, citing a 30% increase in the homicide rate between 2019 and 2020 in the 34 major cities it surveyed.
What do all these cities have to do with each other? They’re run by Democrats. The citizens overwhelmingly vote Democrat. This is where BLM/Antifa were running riot with little in the way of police response, often because command held the police back. These are places where the defund crowd was pushing hard. This is not gun violence, it’s Democrat violence. In Democrat run cities. Especially in areas where Democrats like to keep blacks down and in poverty, making them reliant on Government. And, let’s be deeply honest: most of these shootings are by either Hispanic gang members, most of which are illegal aliens, or by blacks. Call facts racist, but, 50% of the murders and shootings come from 13% of the population.
Which is why Democrats focus on the guns, rather than the people. Because the want a disarmed citizenry, at least the law abiding ones, and they’re just as racist towards blacks as pre-Civil Rights era.
At least 53 people were shot in 41 separate shootings in Chicago from Friday evening to Sunday evening, the police department’s incident reports show. Of the 53, six have died, the reports show.
Two people were injured, including a 1-year-old boy, in a shooting in West Philadelphia on Saturday night around 8 p.m., according to Philadelphia Police Department spokesperson Officer Miguel Torres.
So far this year, homicides in Philadelphia are outpacing last year’s numbers, according to police records. Philadelphia reached its 300th homicide of the year in July for the first time in over three decades, according to available online records dating back to 1989.
Additionally, the city has seen nearly 1,200 shootings this year, compared to 938 during the same time period last year, according to data through July 12.
One woman has died and six other people were wounded in a shooting in downtown Portland, Oregon, early Saturday, according to the Portland Police Bureau.
Two people were killed and four others injured in a shooting in Sacramento on Friday night, according to a news release from the Sacramento Police Department.
All Dem run cities. This has nothing to do with guns, and everything to do with the people.
