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

Posted on 09/29/2018 8:14:45 PM PDT by george76

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.

My family agrees with me, and they live there every day too, but thanks for your evaluation. /snort

Hmmm, when I went to the pot shop, there wasn’t a single panhandler.

I was probably just in the wrong place.

Denver and Aurora are sanctuary cities and Alcohol is number one gateway drug.

Welp. First big sign your state cities are now ran by liberals.
Colorado welcome to being a blue state for the last decade..started to show.
All the kooks from NE and Cali have moved there and started passing laws to screw up their state like they did to their home states.
No drug laws, now higher crime.

Can’t be me, I moved to the western slope. And no, I didn’t start any fires either.

Hey, Californicators. Is that what you wanted in your new home? Did you not flee that sort of thing to go to Colorado? But you just had to "civilize" barbarian Colorado by getting more "services" and government programs. I am disgusted with Californians who think they are Conservative and leave their Socialist Utopia to inflict their concept of Conservatism on the states they run away to.

George76, these remarks are addressed to the article, not to you.

I had a close relative move out of the Denver area recently. She blamed the rise and crime AND population (both has exploded in the last couple years) on the illegal immigration rise. Said the traffic alone shows what a mess it has become. Said what used to take ten minutes to get someone now takes like 45.

Ah, the legalization of Marijuana does many things

How very simplistic. But you might want to look closer at the makeup, political and demographic, of the Denvers "leadership". That might lead you to what has really changed in recent years.

This is the result of Illegals and Sanctuary state and city policies.

Only someone who uses Demon tactics would try and blame this on marijuana smokers.

Someday we will be allowed to speak openly about how marijuana legalization is absurd and bad for humanity.

What's stopping you?

ILLEGALISM is the problem here not smokers. How many ILLEGALS have arrived in the last ten yrs? How many THOUSANDS?
