"It's worse than a war zone around here lately," police official said.
At least 12 major U.S. cities have broken annual homicide records in 2021 -- and there's still three weeks to go in the year.
Of the dozen cities that have already surpassed the grim milestones for killings, five topped records that were set or tied just last year.
"It's terrible to every morning get up and have to go look at the numbers and then look at the news and see the stories. It's just crazy. It's just crazy and this needs to stop," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said after his city surpassed its annual homicide record of 500, which stood since 1990.
Philadelphia, a city of roughly 1.5 million people, has had more homicides this year (521 as of Dec. 6) than the nation's two largest cities, New York (443 as of Dec. 5) and Los Angeles (352 as of Nov. 27). That's an increase of 13% from 2020, a year that nearly broke the 1990 record.

The violence is organized. No one is drilling down because they are afraid it will appear to be anti civil rights
RAT run cities.
Don’t expect the statistics to improve until the mayors and a few members of the city councils are included in those statistics. But don’t expect to see that anytime soon. They are probably more than adequately protected by “special” police details.
Cities run by a Demonicrat kakistocracy.
Let me guess...they’re all run by DemocRATS.
Not at all. Completely expected when crime is ignored, crime expands.
The Democrat Part teemed up with its anarchist allies to rain chaos on America in 2020.
It suceeded.
Escape from New York and Escape from LA were two dystopian films, where Snake Plissken defies all odds and makes a bold one-man strike at the heart of darkness, and STILL comes off as an anti-hero.
Now that we need you, Snake, where are you?

Blue cities , blue states, blue voters real and fake, that is what they want and what they vote for…defund the police…turn in your firearms and everything will be a perfect utopia…

Now that we need you, Snake, where are you?
Snake Plissken? I thought he was dead.
The indy mayor and city council are doing everything they can to not address the problems
They just appropriate more money and spend it on programs that have a history of failure

What those movies nowadays and ask yourself this. Would you rather go into those fictional cities (like Plisken did) or into the darkest parts of some of the cities on this list?
While those cities appeared rather chaotic with lots of infrustructure damage and fires, the all the bad guys seemed like cream puffs in an 80s camppy sort of way.
If I had to pick, I would definitely go into John Carpenter’s LA than I would have to walk through real life Chicago’s south side or the worst parts of Baltimore.
Dem voters will just look for different Dems to elect. They will not, under any circumstance, vote for a Republican.
Embrace the suck.
and what is common about these cities?
The Democrat Flu.
