From the story: A Wall Street Journal analysis of crime statistics among the nation’s 50 largest cities found that reported homicides were up 24% so far this year, to 3,612. Shootings and gun violence also rose, even though many other violent crimes such as robbery fell (WSJ). New York City has already surpassed the shootings from all of 2019 (Fox News).

REPORT: Crime Up Double-Digits in 36 of the Country’s 50 Biggest Cities, Murders up 24%
A shocking new report from the Washington Examiner is shedding more light on the civil unrest sweeping the United States; revealing crime is up double-digits in 36 of the country’s 50 biggest cities and towns.
“An analysis by the Wall Street Journal, which was published on Sunday, showed that homicides, shootings, and gun violence in the 50 largest cities rose in 2020, with murders, in particular increasing by 24% so far this year, to 3,612. Thirty-six of the 50 cities have experienced at least a 10% rise in homicides,” reports the Washington Examiner.

“Chicago, the city with the most number of homicides, is averaging one about every eight nights. The total number of murders in the city in July climbed 139% compared to the same month in 2019. There were 105 homicides in July compared to 44 in the previous year, and the city is up 51% from the same point last year,” adds the Examiner.

Bet they are all libturd controlled cities and areas or libturds committing the crimes in all areas.
The stories on crime neglect to confess that the majority of the crime spikes are in Blue States and Blue Cities with Leftist Mayors, Councils and Governors all intent on demoralizing and under-funding their law enforcement – add to that the Psychological damage from Unnecessary Covid Lock-downs and forced unemployment – all in an elections year. This is the reality adding up aghainst the leftist Democrats that is saying the Democrats are going into the most crushing defeat in Political history this November
You have far too much confidence in the US voter who elect and re-elect the Commiecrat vermin year after year. Legions of lazy, indolent, useless human garbage will go to the polls to get the free stuff promised by the Commiecrats like $600 a week for not working, free health care, free housing,free “education,” and free entertainment all financed by a “wealth tax.”
I would not be so sure of that. Most people do not know that this is happening because they either do not pay attention to the news and/or they watch CNN or MSNBC and do not hear about it. And the brief sound bites before the election will blame it on Trump and those same idiots will believe it.
One problem that has been brewing for 100 years or more is that too many people have the right to vote – the demented, the uneducated, people who know absolutely nothing about the issues that are being voted upon. And this election will be the icing on the cake with more illegal votes, ballot harvesting, mail in ballots and whatever else they can come up with including the New Black Panther Party patrolling the voting places and beating up White folks, who will do nothing about it but cower down.
Hell even our local news refuse to carry what’s really going on in the Demonrat cities.
My heart and mind are crying out in prayer that the “crushing defeat” you refer to will really happen.
The Minneapolis police have warned citizens they will be powerless to respond to robberies and that citizens should just give up their wallets and phones if accosted.
The only posession of mine they will get is some hot lead strategically placed, two body shots and a head shot in case they are wearing body armor.
Be safe, be trained, be alert.
Drew, I sure hope you are not put in the position of having to pump hot lead into anyone. But if you are, then so be it. Years ago I was walking home from church, and two guys came out of the darkness (it was a night service), and one pointed a gun at my head. They robbed me of my wallet. This was in the pre-Guiliani New York City. Crime was considered “normal.” There was no one to call, no way to find these guys. I couldn’t have described them because I didn’t get a good look. They were black. From previous experience, I knew I wouldn’t get satisfaction from the police. As the saying goes “they got the drop on me.” Thus, even if I had concealed carry, which I did not have, I don’t know how much help that would have been. Therefore, unless a person is very well prepared mentally and in terms of weaponry, probably the advice being given to the citizens is good advice — however, the police should be saying, “We will catch them, and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.” The leadership of Minneapolis has TOTALLY ABANDONED its civic duty to the public!! Even if they are not there to protect someone at the moment the crime is committed, their commitment 24/7 must be to capture and/or blast the balls of anyone who commits a felony in that city!
Shoot to kill. Dead people don’t sue.
God bless you and yours …
I hate to say this, but so far it’s liberals (useful idiots) killing liberals. Is this just part of “natural selection?”
I don’t walk outside after dark now even though I live in a more residential (fewer apartment buildings), middle class neighborhood in a large city that has experienced riots, murders, etc. So now I can’t go enjoy brunch or dinner out with my wife because of COVID (we’re both elderly and in the “age vulnerable” category). I can’t take a brisk healthy walk in the cooler night air. I had to take a leave of absence from my p/t teaching at a local college. Vacation weeks in the Poconos and Newport, RI had to be canceled. Church has been closed and the joy of fellowship to worship a holy God has been restricted to our living room and dining room. Endless unreasonable attacks on the President of the USA assail the airwaves (nobody has to like the President, but what we have witnessed and are witnessing from grown men and women in leadership positions — yes, Mobocrats siding with violent punks bent on wanton destruction — is beyond outrageous and dumb). I know I’m borderline retarded and a deplorable dreg who can barely count from 1 to 10 even using my fingers, but (to quote another old dead dumb white man) “methinks something is rotten in Denmark.” (Wm Shakespeare, from Hamlet)
The need to enter the city, is only due out of necessity, and then only the objective to complete the tasks at hand. There is no dilly dally, get in, get what needs to get dine, get the hell out.
correction—-needs to get done
And it’s all trumps fault.
RIGHT DEMOCRATS ????
The homicide rate is also high in cities run by Republicans, according to the article.
“but the report notes that homicides are jumping at a double-digit rate mostly in cities run by Republicans.”
Yes, that’s what the journal says … but their report is behind a paywall, and I’m not going to waste my money and time on something I know is another lie.
I live in Texas – and even in Texas the Demokkkrats run *all* of the *big* cities …. and a lot of the *small* “Republican” suburbs around them are chock full of Demokkkrats running the governments. And we know the crime rates in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso – and across the valley have been rising this year. Is that Gov. Abbott’s fault? All of our *big* cities are run by Demokkkrats. … and for that matter my own little *Republican* town is represented by RINO weasels who hardly stand for much besides lower crime rates.
So I can see how easy it is to claim a “GOP” run state has a higher crime rate, but I don’t see how anyone can believe Demokkkrat jurisdictions can have lower crime rates overall than GOP jurisdictions … unless someone is cherry-picking to create that outcome.
Anyone familiar with any crime data for any size community in any given state knows the Demokkkrat run areas are statistically doing far worse than the Republican.
And though we cannot trust the crime data … we can be reasonably sure it’s not Republicans faking higher data in Demokkkrat areas or hiding an explosive crime rate by hiding data in their own communities.
So exactly how does such a sentence get *justified* … answer: By the same tortured logic that Lefties always use to justify their violent and dangerous policies – that are then blamed on the rest of us.
*** You and yours have an excellent week, Rafa!
Yeah. First hand experience of many decades shows that.
*** You and yours have a cool weekend, AA!
Demokkkrats don’t care … they believe they can blame the violence on Trump and *Whitey* etc.
… so what’s a few bodies?
It’s just collateral damage to them in their War on Normal
… and they enjoy demoralizing their victims – the people trapped in their Demokkkrat plantation No Go Zones.
*** Everyone at Geller have a wonderful week!
