Looks like all the Democrat run cities are in the lead.
Some reasons the “red states” have the “highest murder rate” might be because 1) almost all states have GOP governors regardless, and 2) surgeons perhaps are better at saving gunshot wound victims in blue state hospitals?
If a gunshot victim doesn’t die, there is no murder. Just attempted murder.
All those red states high on the list have huge, minority-dwelling blue run cities, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge; St Louis, and Kansas City; Las Vegas; Baltimore and Prince Georges County; Little Rock and Fort Smith; Anchorage and Fairbanks (”First” Nations); Birmingham and Mobile; Jackson; Chicago; Columbia and Greenville...
Excluding those cities, I’ll be the murder rate is more like South Dakota...
