On February 20, 2023, the Hartford Courant published a story by Edmund H. Mahony titled: CT mayors wrestle with what data show is at root of gun violence: Chronic repeat offenders.
MSN.com picked up the article and published it online. The article portrayed data compiled by the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney. The data came from arrest records for the Harford and Waterbury police departments from January 2019 through part of 2021. The article portrayed the findings as “startling statistical analysis”. From msn.com:
Last week at the state Capitol, Woods joined Connecticut’s big city mayors, who departed from the new decriminalization orthodoxy to push a package of proposed laws that would enhance bail and sentencing laws as they apply to repeat gun criminals. They backed up the legislative pitch with a startling statistical analysis of gun crimes that shows most gun criminals are chronic reoffenders who are committing second and third offenses while released on bail or probation.
The mayors, all Democrats, arrived with the statistics and an array of inner city supporters, including mothers with emotional stories about murdered children.
To those who have been following Second Amendment issues, this is nothing new. It has been known for decades. In Don Kates seminal book Restricting Handguns, the Liberal Skeptics Speak Out, the categorization of the murderer as tiny, highly unusual segment of society was explained in 1976 (p. 106). David Kennedy has been explaining this statistical reality since the 1990s. The concept was used successfully in operation Ceasefire in 1996, and has been duplicated many times.

“Mayors Discover Data Surprise: Most “Gun Violence” Involves Repeat Offenders”
I think this story rates being filed under,
No $hit Sherlock
When you were a kid in grammar school, every class had a trouble maker. Maybe there were two. That kid caused multiple disruptions. Without that one kid…the classrooms would be significantly more productive.
That model never changes. The degree of disruption is the only variable.
“a startling statistical analysis of gun crimes that shows most gun criminals are chronic reoffenders “
What’s startling is how effective the fake news propaganda has been.
Wasn’t taking those repeat offenders off the street the whole point of Three Strikes sentencing?
But because it affected black offenders disproportionately (as they were disproportionately committing the violent crimes), our Left decreed Three Strikes sentencing politically incorrect, and put these violent offenders back on the streets, with predictable results.
And you can’t talk about this explicitly without the nuclear option being deployed, and you are called a racist, deplatformed, depersoned, fired from your job, etc.
More of Satan’s fr’kn animals running loose in the country….Thanks DemocRATS!!
Is there anyone here on FR that's legitimately shocked by this fact?
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller??

I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya, said no one with a brain.
More proof that math is racist.
Most people will take that as sarcasm.
But the radical left is serious about it. Math conflicts with their worldview, their basic assumptions about reality.
Therefore, math is racist and must be ignored.
Data is racist.
So the same guns keep repeatedly committing crimes?
That is a possible takeaway from the headline, and how “progressives” think.
Parole Board chairman:
They’ve got a name for people like you H.I. That name is called “recidivism.”
Parole Board member:
Repeat offender!
Parole Board chairman:
Not a pretty name, is it H.I.?
H.I.:
No, sir. That’s one bonehead name, but that ain’t me any more.
Parole Board chairman:
You’re not just telling us what we want to hear?
H.I.:
No, sir, no way.
Parole Board member:
‘Cause we just want to hear the truth.
H.I.:
Well, then I guess I am telling you what you want to hear.
Parole Board chairman:
Boy, didn’t we just tell you not to do that?
H.I.:
Yes, sir.
Parole Board chairman:
Okay, then.
-”Raising Arizon” (1987)
There, fixed the headline
In other new, CT mayors are stupid.
Probably not stupid. They are ignorant.
Stupid is forever.
Ignorance has a small chance of being cured.
Well, this is certainly something new. /s
