The next highest murder rate jump was 1968, at the culmination of the civil rights movement.

Hmmm. Giving freedom to africans is bad for crime rates. Weird.

“ About 77% of reported murders in 2020 were committed with a firearm, the highest share ever reported, up from 67% a decade ago.

The change in murder was widespread — a national phenomenon and not a regional one. Murder rose more than 35% in cities with populations over 250,000 that reported full data.

It also rose more than 40% in cities 100,000 to 250,000, and around 25% in cities under 25,000.

No geographic area was spared. The FBI reported in March that murder was up at least 20% in every region of the country, including around a 30% increase in the Midwest. Overall, murder was up at least 20% in counties carried by President Joe Biden as well as by Donald Trump in 2020.

One regional factor stayed consistent: Louisiana had the highest murder rate for the 32nd straight year.

Murders were already elevated in the first few months of 2020, then increased significantly in June and stayed high through the remainder of the year.”

Louisiana is such a sad story, a state that SHOULD not be so poor.

Basically having a deranged angry man stoking hate on TV every single day and encouraging people to disregard the lives, health, and wellbeing of others, led to a further breakdown of societal norms.

Trump made society worse. A normal president republican or democrat would’ve passed some police reform bills afterwards. Trump just wanted the issue to stoke his idiot supporters in a frenzy.

Can’t wait until the idiot dies on the toilet after shitting all the big macs and kfc he eats every day.
