The Rise in Violence – Who to Blame?

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

While the Texas school shooting is a politician’s dream, for they suddenly can pretend to care and look authoritative, the real culprit here, I fear, has been the COVID-19 lockdowns. What government will not talk about is the statistics. Homicides increased by nearly 30 percent in 2020. Overall, violence and aggravated assaults have increased.

The homicide rates normally increase in the summer months. The real culprit may be the additional social interaction that happens when people spend more time outdoors during the summer months, NewsNation reports. There’s simply a greater number of interactions happening, which means there are also more opportunities for them to go awry.

BLACK EXCELLENCE MONTH

My employer isn’t celebrating Black History Month. They have ratcheted it up to Black Excellence Month. How could you not celebrate the excellence we get to witness on a daily basis in every shithole Democrat run urban ghetto killzone like Philly, Baltimore, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, SF, etc. The excellence is borne out in record murders, car jackings, and robberies. Only 6 days left for us to celebrate the vibrancy of black excellence.

The Killing Season

Guest Post by The Zman

Baltimore has the nickname of “Bodymore, Murderville” because of a high rate of homicide and the habit of the locals spray painting the slogan on abandoned buildings. The other “slogan” you see around the city is a re-write of a marketing campaign run by the city a few years back. The pols had the idea of putting the word “Believe” on everything, so the more clever changed it to “Behave” which gets to the heart of the issue. The city has a huge population of people who cannot behave themselves like civilized people.

City Of Chicago Working Around Clock To Clear 18 Inches Of Bullet Casings From Streets

Via The Onion

With cartridge accumulations reaching two feet or more in some areas, experts say Chicago is on track for the highest annual ammunition-depth total on record.

CHICAGO—Promising that every effort would be made to limit the impact on residents’ day-to-day lives, Chicago officials announced Wednesday that a fleet of plows was working around the clock to clear more than 18 inches of fresh bullet casings that had blanketed the metropolitan area overnight.

Sources at the city’s Department of Streets and Sanitation confirmed that over 250 ammunition-removal vehicles had been deployed to deal with the knee-deep layer of spent cartridges, which have been steadily accumulating on Chicago’s streets, alleys, and pedestrian walkways since the previous evening.

Milwaukee Homicides Soar – What Is Going On In the Murderous Midwest?

Tyler Durden's picture

While the recent wave of violence in Milwaukee can be written off as an ephemeral reaction to another fatal police shooting (see “One Person Shot, Officer Injured In Second Night Of Milwaukee Violence Despite State Of Emergency“) it is quite clear that long-term trends suggest that violent crimes are on the rise in metropolitan areas of the Midwest.  As can be seen by data compiled by the Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee homicides went vertical in 2015, up 69% YoY and over 100% since the recent low recorded in 2007.  In fact, in 2015 Milwaukee endured the highest number of homicides since 1993, a 22-year record high.  Similarly disturbing increases in violence are playing out in Chicago neighborhoods as we’ve noted on numerous occasions (see “Chicago Records Deadliest Day In 13 Years As City Spirals Out Of Control” and “Chicago Suffers Deadliest May In 21 Years“).

Milwaukee Homicides

 

The key question is why the spike in violence now?  Ask any “expert” to explain the cause of violent crime and you’ll get a range of responses from systemic problems of poverty, unemployment, lack of education of inner city youth, breakdown of the family unit, etc.  The problem is that none of those things explain the sudden changes in violence we’re currently witnessing in the Midwest.

Chicago: ‘Deadliest July in 10 Years’ for Gun Control Haven

Facts are so inconvenient to libs. I wonder what percentage of victims and perps were black? This is what you get when brain dead liberals like Rahm and Obama are in control. Why doesn’t Obama walk the talk and settle on the Southside of Chicago when he saunters out of the WH? I’m sure all his Trayvon “sons” would welcome him with open arms. Meanwhile, CNN is focused on Trump eating KFC with a fork and knife.

A man in a second floor unit was shot in the leg by an officer after refusing to put down what appeared to be a handgun, according to Chief of Detectives Eugene Roy. (John J.

July 2016 was the “deadliest July in 10 years” for heavily gun-controlled Chicago: Sixty-five individuals were shot and killed.

Moreover, according to the Chicago Tribune, such death figures do not set a new record — they simply tie a record set in 2006, when 65 individuals were killed in the month of July. This brings Chicago’s homicide total to “nearly 400” for the first seven months of 2016 alone. The number of homicides for the whole year of 2015 was 490.

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson tried to abate the feeding frenzy on the July death numbers by pointing out that they are at least better than the numbers for June, “when 72 homicides were reported.”

Breitbart News previously reported that May 2016 was also a recording-setting month. Almost 400 people were shot and 66 people were killed in that one month. The Chicago Tribune reported May 2016 as the deadliest May since 1995, when 75 people were gunned down.

On August 2, the Chicago Tribune reported a total of 2,395 shooting victims in Chicago for the seven months of 2016. There were 2,988 shooting victims for all of 2015. These shootings come in spite of the city’s “assault weapons” ban, “violence tax,” strict rules on acquiring handguns, and micro-management of the number of gun stores in the city, as well as of the locations of those stores.


BACK TO NORMAL IN BALTIMORE

So, the black mayor, black police chief, black city council, black prosecutor, and black leaders throughout Baltimore instruct the police to back off and allow the black populace to police their own neighborhoods. Shockingly, the homicide rate skyrockets to all-time highs. I’m sure businesses will be moving into Bodymore, Murdaland now. You reap what you sow.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say a man was fatally shot in the western part of the city, continuing the month’s spike in homicides.

Sgt. Jarron Jackson said in an email Friday that officers on patrol found a 19-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his chest about 4:30 p.m.

Jackson says the officers called paramedics and the man was taken to a hospital, where he died.

The killing is the city’s 39th homicide this month, the deadliest in 15 years.

Arrests have dropped sharply in Baltimore since Freddie Gray died on April 19 of injuries he suffered in police custody. Gray’s death unleashed protests, riots, and the criminal indictment of six officers. A civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department also has officers working under close scrutiny.


THEY REALLY NEED TO WORK ON THEIR AIM IN CHICAGO

Those tough gun laws in Chicago sure are working wonders. They only had a 20% increase in shootings in 2014. The criminal element in the Windy city really could use some training with their aim. The city averaged 7.2 shootings per day and only 1.2 successful shootings per day. Imagine the savings to the taxpayers of Illinois in healthcare and criminal system costs if they can improve their aim by 50% in 2015.

Rahm is doing a bang up job. At least the Chicago school system is bankrupt and graduates outright illiterate morons who think Dunkin Donuts is a basketball team. The Democratic Party reign in urban ghetto kill zones across the country is truly a success story.
