After 2 years of anti-cop agenda, child gun deaths spike nearly 50% Homicides have skyrocketed

Homicides have skyrocketed over the past year. In 2021, several cities hit new records for murders, The Wall Street Journal reported. But children are increasingly becoming the victims of these violent crimes.

In 2021, 311 children died from gun violence in the United States, the Gun Violence Archive reported.

That is a 48 percent increase from the 210 children who were shot to death in 2019.

E.W. Jackson is a voice for change in American communities and has founded and overseen a number of organizations that are fighting for change in a deteriorating culture. Most recently, he started several projects to address rising violence in inner cities and to support families of children who were victims of violence.

Jackson served in the Marine Corps, graduated from Harvard Law School, studied at Harvard Divinity School and has served as a minister for decades.

He also founded Staying True to America’s National Destiny, a nonprofit whose goal is "to bring Americans together across racial and cultural lines to preserve our Judeo-Christian values and heritage."

NOT breaking news. Guess, the "knife violence", "shoe violence", "fist violence", "club violence" numbers may also be up but them dang evil guns............ We know where this will go. Thankfully, there seemed to be a lot of folks at the gun show yesterday acting on their "not absolute" right to keep and bear arms.

Perhaps one way to stop gun violence is to stop those who promote the deteriorating culture.

Just saying...

Seems there was less violence among youths when clubs like these were common in public schools.

Democrats are the Death Eaters. Everywhere they go there is death, especially of children.

How are they defining “children”. Does this number include gangsters as long as they are under 18?

I thought the affordable care act (affordable to who) included kids to the age of 25 as children or something. :-}

I believe that, that Derek Chauvin belongs in jail for what happened to George Floyd.

I don't. The coroner ruled that Floyd died from heart failure caused by a massive overdose of street drugs. Chauvin didn't kill him. He's in jail because he got an OJ jury.

Blacks always get the best of top-down Progressive policies and woke ideology - safer communities, stronger families, safer roads, better schools, less addiction, higher incomes, less abortions, less violence....

(yes, that’s sarcasm)

Uh, I certainly hope that comment is not being attributed to me about Derek Chauvin. I’m a firm believer in “Comply, don’t die!” theory. Seldom does one win on the street fighting with LEOs.

~~~~

What is the meaning of the term “homicide”? A homicide happens when one person kills another person. Self defense deaths and defense of others deaths are included in “homicides”. An increase in these deaths is a good thing, and supports the need for more firearms.

Later the article reverses terms, saying that “210 children who were shot to death in 2019.” “Shot to death” includes suicides. By a large margin suicides are the leading cause of gun deaths, and can’t, by any stretch, be blamed on guns.

Releasing criminals and defunding the police didn’t work?

I seem to remember there have been several children shot to death peripherally to gang shootings in Chicago recently.
