The Wall Street Journal has recently reported that murder rates surged by 24% this summer in dozens of major American cities since the George Floyd riots began.
WSJ writes, “A pronounced rise in homicides this year hit large cities across the country, indicating a new public-safety risk set off during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the midst of a recession and a nation wide reaction against police tactics.”
Chicago tops out the murder rate for the year so far with nearly 450 murders. Philadelphia trails the lead position with 245 murders. New York takes the third highest spot with 215 deaths. Houston ranks 4th with 180 murders, and Los Angeles rounds out the top five at 160 violent murders.
The article went on to rank 31 other major cities with disturbing spikes in violence, murder, and generalized chaos.
University of Chicago professor Jens Ludwig told WSJ, “Everything society does to shape public safety was turned upside-down during the pandemic.”
Police officials have named a number of factors as contributing to the deadly decline in order, citing fallout from the pandemic, a decrease in general civility marked by desperation for simple household goods like toilet paper, and the sharp decline of trust in public institutions. They called it, “[…] growing signs of a fraying of the social order.”
In Democrat-run Chicago, homicides have always been most prevalent in the poorest neighborhoods. Recently, the mayor blamed the outlying communities for the ingress of guns into these communities. The state of Illinois contains many rural neighborhoods, farming communities, and agricultural assets. In locations like these guns are a commonality. That is true in nations all around the world. Even in countries where it is next to impossible for such locations to acquire guns, other weapons are more common.
There are good reasons for this. Agricultural installations are a natural attraction for wild predatory animals. It is also markedly easier for trespassers to walk through such places, making guns even more necessary. And, of course, there are fewer reasons to infringe on the gun rights of people who live out in wide open spaces, where firearms can be discharged with a greater deal of safety.
But handguns are far from the most popular and practical types of guns in these areas where rifles are much more useful. However, that doesn’t stop Democrats in Chicago from accusing rural areas of supplying city-dwelling criminals with handguns.
Democrat officials like these are unqualified to comment on gun issues. They frequently show their ignorance about gun death stats and about how firearms work in general. Worse still, they have failed for decade after decade to keep violent crime under control in the cities they portend to run.
They are so bad at their jobs that one could reasonably question whether or not they even want to reduce the murder rates among their constituents. After decades of consistently pursuing policies that have been proven to produce poverty and violence, reasonable people can only conclude that Democrats must enjoy chaos.
There is NOT one DEMOCRAT mayor in any city who care about stopping criminal. Let it show you they only care about the MONEY that come with the job!
I had trouble getting toilet paper – Guess I better pick up my gun and shoot my neighbor. Articles like this, and the study cited, are absurd. No mention of the leftists telling people to destroy their neighbor because blacks are being hurt by police. Think the violence encouraged by the left toward society has had no EFFECT on people’s actions??? Think the left calling the police bad and demanding they be “defunded” has no effect on criminal’s actions?? Think police are going to risk their lives, along with their careers, to stop blacks from killing each other?? The left leadership thinks if they tell conservatives often enough that they are racist and must make amends for their evil life, conservatives will believe it. Unfortunatly there are plenty of leftist, white, snowflakes who either believe they are evil and their parents are evil OR they like the idea of acting mean and strong. How misguided are these little snowflakes????
Democrats embrace the violence because it gives them a platform to rail against guns. If All guns were removed from society, it would simply open the door to a dictatorship or communist takeover. This was one of the most important reasons for our 2nd amendment. History has proven time and time again when guns are removed from society the governments left in control are not very favorable to the people. The gullible and naive never seem to grasp this concept.
SOUNDS LIKE THE DEMORAT LEADERS HAVE DECLARED OPEN SEASON ON THEIR CITIZENS. THERE IS A MASS MOVEMENT FROM THESE AREAS. SOON, THEY WILL HAVE NO TAX BASE AND WILL BLAME IT ON TRUMP! IMAGINE THAT!
And yet they still keep voting for these lawless corrupt democrats to run their cities into the ground OR voter fraud is really out of control…
I guess misery does love company!
The Demonocrats are political self destructing evil. Last 20 years of democratic rule has corrupted the masses.And the exodus of conservatives has continued to rise.
There is no demoncrat politician out there that can convince me that they truly care about our nation, its citizens or our constitutional and our rights. They are all evil and untrustworthy and that goes for the media people also. None of them are worth a damn. Opinionists like Juan Williams, Chris Cuomo, Chris Hahn, Jim Acosta, Richard Fowler, Antwaun Seawright, Austin Goolsby, Richard Goodstein, Marie Harf, Leslie Marshall,Jemu Green and Jessica Tarlof are just a few of the most popular liars the DNC likes to foist upon us. When they start to spout their lies, you just have to switch channels and then go throw up. I urge all patriotic Americans to ignore these lying creepy unAmerican slobs. I urge Fox News to find new and more balanced news contributors…
Demoncrap Governors and big city mayors like deBlasio are destroying our urban areas and our wonderful brave police officers across this great country.
The latest video of the George Floyd incident shows that he was not murdered by the police. He was under the influence of alcohol and drugs, he had a heart condition and a breathing condition. The policeman did not kill him!!! BLM and Antifa are lying to all of us to give cover to their socialist revolution, just like in 1917 Russia. Don’t fall for their BS. Stand up and fight against them to protect our country, our families and our rights. GBA
Every city with a high homicide rate is run(?) by a democrat. And almost all of the killings are Black on Black. One thing not addressed in the article is the per capita rate. Based on total population cities like Baltimore far exceed Chicago, not that that justifies anything but it is a very sad commentary on the democrats.
Lie-beral DEMONocrats…the syndicate of fake, hate, ingrate, negate, denigrate, agitate, instigate, segregate, isolate, separate, depopulate (abortions), desecrate (Bible burning), and D O M I N A T E ! They are known for disrespect and derelict; delusion and genuine collusion.
SNAP OUT OF IT. LOOK AT YOURSELVES. BE HONEST FOR A CHANGE !
Walk away from the demons.
The dems need to be incarcerated…and stopped completely…all of the murdering and lying ones.
Give back America?? We will never lose our rights to be American and free.

The Leftist Policy of “Give Crime a Chance” is working.
Opening the prisons and releasing the inmates is upsetting to Americans.
Leftist Governors need to do it secretly like in Canada
where Canadians are happiest the they don’t know what their Government is doing to them.
All Americans understand that Politically motivated and funded, socialist organizations are in charge of these violent uprisisings across this country or for those who are actually still ignorant of the truth; it`s still not too late to read a couple books and research a couple of socialist and or communist authors for yourself or the time and countries they took place in to duplicate the exact disruptions while keeping in mind that like being distracted, these uprisings are still only a singular subject of the lefts objectives.
Hitler and mind kampf, is a general good example that can be listened too on you tube.
Normally all you have to do to find out is follow the money which is still true currently, but liberals are desperately trying to solve that idea as well with stuff like bitcoin and a couple of other new ones so you can’t follow.
Leftist logic of groupthink is always to try to cover their efforts up and always has been, so it sounds something like this…
Using human sciences to Justify their atrocities for decades like mental health issues, the labotamy and electrocution, legal issues collectively but especially with minorities that more than not ended up dead, torture, human experimentation on unwitting victims, radiation experimentation etc, etc…and the Clintons were involved in a lot of it.
After republicans followed the money and discovered an onslaught of organizations that were pedophiles, murdering children, sex traffickers and a lot of others including commie and socialist org`s, they tried to use the money to cover up the so called science which means lobbyists and payoffs etc.
Today, the left is trying to use NSA to Cover up both the money and the science and they`guilty as he’ll collectively.
I have no problem with this. That’s less Demoncrap votes come Nov. and less welfare payments. Some good comes out of everything that happens.
not much to add. Situation speaks for itself. For some reason the Democrats feel the urban voters prefer riot, pillage and destruction of their surroundings. I hope, in this election, they find they are wrong.
