One out of every 179 Americans will eventually be murdered if crime rate continues: study

A study examining murders in 2021 based on death certificate data projects that one out of 179 Americans will eventually be murdered over the course of their lifetimes if the country’s murder rate remains at 2021 levels.

“That means if you’re in the United States, you live here, you’re born and you spend your life here, your odds of your life ending by murder are one in 179 over your life. Not over a year or any other timeframe.”

“It’s just somebody’s gonna murder you before you die of natural causes, an accident, suicide, whatever it may be,” Jim Agresti, president and co-founder of Just Facts, a nonprofit research institute, told Fox News Digital. Agresti also authored the study.

Just Facts undertook a massive project to examine how many people were murdered in 2021 after weeks of news outlets and experts reporting there is no definitive figure for 2021 murders due to newly released FBI data for that year being incomplete and based on estimates.

America was choked by violent crimes in 2020, when murders spiked by nearly 30% compared to the prior year. It marked the largest single-year increase in killings since the agency began tracking crimes. Experts who have previously spoken to Fox News Digital pointed to calls to defund the police, the riots of 2020, the Ferguson effect — when police pull back amid a spike in violent crime and unrest — and the COVID pandemic for contributing to the bloodshed of 2020.

The FBI switched to a new recording program at the start of 2021 called the National Incident-Based Reporting System that aims to provide a more thorough snapshot of offenses, such as what weapons were used in an incident, types of property stolen and more detailed demographic information on victims and perpetrators of crimes.

Meaningless number. Various living locations will wildly change that stat.

“One out of every 179 Americans will eventually be murdered if crime rate continues: study”

That number will go higher when people who die from the mRNA shot start getting counted as murder victims.

Since people tend to be murdered by a perp or perps of the same skin color, guess who’s hardest hit.

Not that Deep State gives a damn.

But if people defend themselves and take the criminal out of circulation, that may save 1, 2, maybe 10 lives in the future.

The story is a good example of how to talk about the black murder rate without mentioning blacks.

1 out of 179. Is that all?
Heck, the ‘vaccines’ are going to kill ten times that, at least

Criminality will visit every single American, eventually, if not sooner.

That’s crimes on the street or in people’s homes or in subways and buses and trains and planes and on the roads, and even while on vacations, and in stores.

A criminal may commit a crime one at a time, but, before he commits his crime, he will have scoped out the potential victims, of which there may have been hundreds before the crime takes place. Many people will have passed in front of the criminal before he decides who is the best prospect for the crime he has planned. Thousands of potential victims, but only one (or a few) being picked out. That criminal will have seen YOU, while you may not have seen him checking you out.

That’s just the violent criminals, but, as we all know there are many other types of crimes,including thefts and fraud and even crimes committed by politicians and government workers.

Thus, every single American will be a victim of a crime or crimes, no matter where they live or what they do for a living.

It must be 20 times higher for black men than the general population, that’s 1 in 9 at least.

Could be higher than during the Crack Wars.

Our betters want depopulation. This will work quite well with all the coming vax deaths to get to that goal.

I wonder if they included vaccine and booster homicides?
