Factor out Chicago, DC, Detroit and East St. Louis. We wouldn’t be on the list at all.

Very well said. I'll also add that East St. Louis is a most interesting case. Take a look at the crime data for Granite City, IL, an index of 329 and zero murders, just a few miles north of neighboring East Saint Louis, IL with an astronomical index of 2089 and 25 murders in just a single year.

Both towns are around the same size (under 30,000) and neither is wealthy, with average incomes and household values below that of entire state of Illinois. So what's the difference between the two?

67% of firearm murders took place in the country’s 50 largest metro areas.

The 62 cities in those metro areas have a firearm murder rate of 9.7, more than twice the national average. Among teenagers the firearm murder rate is 14.6 or almost three times the national average. Those numbers are from six years ago. They have grown worse since.

Those are the crowded cities of Obamerica. The places with the most restrictive gun control laws and the highest crime rates. These are the places where the family is broken, money comes from the government and immigrants crowd in from some of the most violent parts of the world bringing with them their own organized crime. These are also the places that have run by Democrats and their political machines for almost as long as they have been broken.

Obama won every major city in the election, except for Jacksonville and Salt Lake City. And the higher the death rate, the bigger his victory. He won New Orleans by 80 to 17 where the murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. He won Detroit, where the murder rate of 53 per 100,000 people is the second highest in the country and twice as high as any country in the world, including the Congo and South Africa. He won it 73 to 26. And then he celebrated his victory in Chicago where the murder rate is three times the statewide average.

The Elephant in the room nobody will address:

Per Department of Justice statistics, between 1976-2005 blacks accounted for 12% of the US population yet 52.2% of all homicides committed. That number is not debatable.

Using back of the envelope numbers and anecdotal evidence, we can say that half of that 12% population can be taken out of the equation, as women virtually commit none of these murders (some, but not many). Now we are at 6%. More back of the envelope numbers show that toddlers do not commit murders and neither do those in their 90’s, 80’s, or 70’s. Take off about another 3%. So approximately 3% of the population (black males between the age of 15 and 35) is responsible for 52.2% of all homicides in this country.

Calling this a National Epidemic would be an understatement. But instead of dealing with it honestly, many of these people are paroled or get plea bargains for their violent behavior because a distant relative of theirs may have been oppressed hundreds of years ago. It is insanity, but it is the current “justice” system, one which ignores empirical data in favor of the god of Political Correctness.
