Roses are Red, Crime is Blue

Roses are red, violets are blue, is an old nursery rhyme, poem, and eventual song title, ending in “the honey’s sweet and so are you.” A modern-day version might be rewritten:

Peace is red, crime is blue Vote for Democrats, and you’ll find this true

Rising crime in American cities is often ignored by the media, instead focusing on the Omicron variant and fully vaccinated universities and sport teams shutting down over new COVID cases, flying in the face of common sense and everything we have been told about vaccinations.

ABC News dipped it’s toe into crime reporting recently with this headline, “It's just crazy: 12 major cities hit all-time homicide records.” While COVID cases might be spiking, so is crime, some cities breaking decades old homicide records.

"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.

Is this what resident Joe Biden means by “build back better”? Is this somehow former President Donald Trump’s fault, despite him being out of office for almost a year now? ABC News offers a few potential explanations but misses a big one.

FTA——What is the common denominator WRT the homicide spike in 12 major American cities?

Typically, ABC-Disney News is befuddled as to what these 12 cities have in common.

Yet Fox News, asking basic journo questions of who, what, where, and why, easily found the common denominator.

All 12 cities are led by Democrat mayors.

Roses are red.

Crime is BLACK.

The American Thinker is too cowardly to state the FACTS.
