How are those deaths spanned across the nation?

480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago

344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore

333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit

119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years)

So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause.

These people try, try, try, and simply won’t admit that it’s the culture, stupids!

Aroura has a super abundance of the culture that leads to juvenile death by shooting.

Total Bull Shit.

Just like CV-19 deaths.

if there was a gun in the vicinity, then it would be gun death. If there was a picture of a gun somewhere nearby then it was a gun death.

It would not surprise me that once you take out the black on black firearms homicides, this number goes down to about the level of Switzerland’s.

Exactly so. All of which is conveniently left out of this so-called "report".

All these POC piling themselves up like cordwood -- so let's blame whitey.

This is just more BS from the CDC handwringing hangers on. The ones who don’t have the infectious disease expertise (which, oddly, the CDC doesn’t use anyway when politics are involved) to make it in their twisted hierarchy.

So. They create reports about wife-beating (spousal abuse) is a disease - hell, wife-beater T-shirts are a disease.

GUNS! [ooga booga] are a disease, and now instead of Covid, teen deaths are predominantly caused by guns.

CDC is nestled in the midst of Druid Hills just outside of Decatur, GA.....a stone’s throw from pukingly leftist Emory University. An entire environ of rabid leftists securely entrenched in the [former] prestige of what is the CDC. They suck our (OUR) country’s life’s blood with their political dogma and it has to stop. If I had my way, all those ‘scientists’ would be cleaning out the poop from the Yerkes Primate Center (if that still exists.) Stinking leftists.

[BTW, I graduated from Druid Hills High School in 1968. I know all about those leftists]

MANY, MANY young people dying fentanyl is being hidden in many drugs the kids think are safe a minuscule amount of fentanyl can kill you!! Fentanyl is being hidden in many pharmaceuticals students are using to stay awake for study purposes or when partying the pills look exactly the same as the real thing but they are deadly ALL coming over our southern border!!

“From 2019 to 2020, firearm-related deaths went up 29.5% in people ages 1-19.” They consider 17, 18 & 19 year-old gangbangers “children”

How to lie with statistics.

When they include adults to jack the numbers, they are just flat our lying.

I guess the CDC solved the fentanyl problem.

And Covid deaths.

The CDC is a woke political operation, anything it does that would be considered traditional public health is accidental or vestigial.

calling bs

The stats themselves are probably true but highly misleading.

Strip out crime related gang violence and you get a new and much much lower number.

In 1983, the average starting salary for graduates of the University of Virginia school of Communication was something like $85,000. Now take out Ralph Sampson and his Houston Rocket's contract and run the numbers again...

It wasn’t COVID. The kids are virtually immune. It was the CDC’s forced isolation.

FU, CDC.

Americans 18 & 19 can legally vote. They are no longer kiddies.
