he nation’s two-decades-long crime decline may be over. Gun violence in particular is spiraling upward in cities across America. In Baltimore, the most pressing question every morning is how many people were shot the previous night. Gun violence is up more than 60% compared with this time last year, according to Baltimore police, with 32 shootings over Memorial Day weekend. May has been the most violent month the city has seen in 15 years.
In Milwaukee, homicides were up 180% by May 17 over the same period the previous year. Through April, shootings in St. Louis were up 39%, robberies 43%, and homicides 25%. “Crime is the worst I’ve ever seen it,” said St. Louis Alderman Joe Vacarro at a May 7 City Hall hearing.
Murders in Atlanta were up 32% as of mid-May. Shootings in Chicago had increased 24% and homicides 17%. Shootings and other violent felonies in Los Angeles had spiked by 25%; in New York, murder was up nearly 13%, and gun violence 7%.

whats keeping the stats so low in Detroit?...
an utter lack of even noting violent crime?
Now, this is something Obama and Holder can legitimately take major credit for. Take a bow, Barack.
It just struck me.
I wonder how many dollars George Soros....has PAID..Barack Obama Race Czar....Revrunt Sharpton ....either directly or indirectly?

The high necessity of reflective men and women, then, is to labor for the restoration of religious teachings as a credible body of doctrine.
Amen!
these are indeed the days of perplexity!
“there is no crime wave. There is a news wave”
Sorry Bert, there is in fact a crime wave due to misguided or outright nefarious liberal actions. The worst of the bunch is the pushing of the ‘fact’ that every police action involving a black is racially motivated. Baltimore is currently the worst example of the effects.
If you’re fortunate enough to live in a state where CCW is available, it’s time to get one so you can protect yourself and your family.
Gun violence....gun violence....gun violence.
Not gang violence. Not violence by black or Mexican thugs.
No sir-e-e, I’m sure Heather MacDonald thinks guns are the problem, whoever the hell she is.
I walked into a gun shop recently....none of those guns were “violent.” They were all well-behaved and didn’t move.
comatose GUNS? so depressed by recent turns of events that theyve slipped off into unconciousness??
The Millenials are a large cohort. More people, more crime. The black underclass component of that group is reaching it’s peak physically active years. In addition to being functionally illiterate, they’re just in time to be made economically obsolete and displaced by coming waves of immigration and automation. We’re about to live through some interesting times. Enjoy the ride!

he used but TWO WORDS...to signal his approval of this sort of lawlessness,...in one brief “directive” to the Ferguson Rioters..
CARRY THROUGH!!
So now blacks are killing more blacks. Wasn’t the original complaint that white cops were killing blacks?
And the solution will be, in the minds of leftist idiots, what? take guns away from non-violent whites?
Can we just go ahead and have the revolution already? All this nit-picky violence is getting boring and accomplishes nothing.
It’s like previews before a movie. Lets get to the feature film ASAP.
perhaps my point was not understood........ the crime has always been there but the presstitutes didn’t report it.
Trying to rectify the imbalance in the population between homosexuals and normal people by raising up a generation ofchildren to be homosexual.
In Kali, the educrats think that non-black parents helping their kids learn stuff is unfair because it most black kids can't (or won't) do as well in class.
