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%.

I heard on the news yesterday that crime in our downtown is at its lowest in 5 years, and down by 50% in the last year.
Simultaneously, concealed carry permits continue their rapid increase, as has been the case for several years.
Coincidence? I think not!
Those white guilt votes sure turned out well, eh. Not.
Race relations set back at least 50 years. Violence now increasing after decades of decreasing. ISIS in our own country now. Wide open borders and a lawless out of control President.
Oh yeah. It’s for the children right?
Indeed. Factor out the inner cities precincts and show us those numbers. But then, that wouldn't fit the agenda.
There is more to it than that; here in NJ many police departments scaled back due to budget cuts (and the last hired - the youngest - were laid off). Now we have ineffective, middle-aged cops trying to deal with a horrendous economy. Basically the areas circling every welfare hatchery are seeing the crime radiate outwards; as in the hatcheries, anything not nailed down is quickly stolen. Those radiating circles of crime will continue as the economy continues to stagnate; the savages raiding along the frontiers will have to strike further and further from the hatchery cores to find victims (as the nearer neighborhoods button up).
That’s right; kids in functional families are starting life “on third base”, and need to be punished to drag them back to first...
If they're on the dole, they are already economically obsolete. They're not producing anything, except votes for Dems.
This is the planned ‘change’, to persuade Americans that nanny government is the only force which can protect them. Now, if you will just surrender your tools of self defense so the government can operate without fear of interruption, your safety will be secured ...
| whats keeping the stats so low in Detroit?... |
Analyze the stats and you`ll find that minus the progressive ‘utopias’ of leftist controlled big cities, the crime rates in America are really not bad. Add in these liberal sh!tholes and we make the big times as far as developed world crime stats go.
“perhaps my point was not understood........ the crime has always been there but the presstitutes didn’t report it.”
Your point is simply incorrect. Crime statistics are measurably up, after declining for many years. It has nothing to do with the press, and everything to do with induced social unrest.
You should read the article.
We gotta have HEADLINES that make people AFRAID ya know....
That could likely help. and another man...perhaps the police chief...who’s suggested that citizens arm themselves...
“nanny government is the only force which can protect them.”
thats never worked out very well from what I understand..
Until Christ is the government, it never will work out. There is no such animal as an actual benevolent despot ... oxymoron.
Some have tried. The cost is always something draconian.
Somone once said that our form of government would only work with a Believing Nation or something to that affect
geez...
“This is what happens when you celebrate thugs and demonize cops.”
Not really. This crap happens when conservatives sit on their fat butts and not elect a pro-2nd Amendment, Constitutional sheriff in their county. For example, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke arrested 75 of Holder’s thugs who tried to start a riot by blocking I-94. The result? No Fergusen-style riots.
In South Carolina, Holder thugs tried to start a riot. The sheriff arrested a dozen of Obuma’s thugs. They faced 10 to 30 years under the state’s anti-Klan law.
