Violent crime climbing in Denver and Colorado
KDVR ^ | SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 | MATT MAURO

Violent crime, including murders, are increasing in Denver and Colorado, according to new statistics from police and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Murders in Colorado have jumped 27 percent in the last three years. In 2015 there were 173 murders, while there were 220 in 2017.

...

murders in Denver have increased six percent in the last year. So far in 2018, there have been 51 murders, compared to 48 at this time last year, according to Denver Police.

Police say the increase is because there are more incidents where multiple people have been killed.

...

And for some perspective – Detroit is about the same size city as Denver, with a murder rate that’s about five times as high.

“I live in a small town. No worries about the liberal decay in Denver making its way to my neck of the woods.”
That’s probably what that young girl in IA thought before that illegal killed her. You are not safe anywhere, anymore thanks to the democRATS.

Observations: Let Denver become another Baltimore. Might teach them a lesson about having Democrats crap up their city.

The Amish apparently got AK-47’s.

Does Colorado have a death penalty? If so, why not?

The poor security officer who was just killed needs real justice to avenge him, and I said “avenge”. Screw feeling sorry for the killers and sickos. The people of Denver should be tired of having to bury good people who were killed by evil people and who will not really pay the ultimate penalty, death.

Then again, the state is run by a nutcase governor, the legislature is a joke, and the liberals blame all society’s trouble on bad cops.

Well, Rocky Mountain Highers, you reap what you sow, and then have to bury them.

Violent crime rates always increase after gun control laws are passed.
Always.

John Lott was right again.

Pot is lovely, isn’t it? Those frontal lobes where judgment resides just love being numb.

I grew up in one of the smallest states. At the time conservative to it’s core. That all changed in twenty years through the influx of Bernie Sanders style New York hippies and marxist Cambridge elites. Watch your 6.

Denver is infested with leftists now who vote for morons. Now they are living with the results. Being soft on crime has it’s consequences.

Colorado in general and Denver in particular has seen a heavy influx of illegals in the last few years.

I lived in Denver back in 1953-54. Even then you locked your car doors when driving.

“Ah, the legalization of Marijuana does many things”

Bull. This has to do with the fact that half the people in California, New York and New Jersey have moved in. Illegals walk the streets with impunity and take most of the construction jobs. We’re bursting at the seams with welfare bums that don’t even speak English.

I do that here in Florida, and I did it in New Orleans too.

There’s bad people no matter where you are.

They were not in the parking lot either, man, nor on the sidewalk or anywhere else that I was.

I saw not one in a week.

Ya. Or was. Traffic is impossible. Two ballot issues will increase taxes considerably. The state is overrun by leftists. We are considering fleeing the insanity after our son graduates from CU. My ancestors came to Colorado in the 1800s. Time to move to a saner state.

We made several stops in CO as we passed through. I was panhandled at Walmart in Denver (both in front of the store and the parking lot), at just about every restaurant and fast food place, and both hotels we stayed in. Small towns also. The common denominator was there was always a pot shop within sight. The most hilarious incident was in the parking lot of a fast food place where there was a large extremely overweight caucasian woman sitting at the entrance/exit panhandling with a sign that explained how she sold everything and moved to the mountains to live with her cats in the forest.

Denver has more and more transients and illegal aliens.

I agree 100%. Good point. The Dems are our worst problem.
