January 1, Beware: Violent Crimes Up 44% in THESE U.S. Cities
A new study found that murders in 22 U.S. cities increased 44% from 2019 to 2021.
“The number of 2021 homicides in the cities studied was 5% greater than in 2020 – representing 218 additional murders in those cities – and 44% greater than in 2019, representing 1,298 additional lives lost,” wrote the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ), a nonpartisan criminal justice policy organization.
The CCJ’s study indicates a continued upward trend in violent crime, starting at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
The CCJ selected the 22 cities because their police departments provided “weekly updates for the period between January 2018 and December 2021.” The cities studied are:
- Chandler, Arizona
- Phoenix, Arizona
- Los Angeles, California
- Denver, Colorado
- St. Petersburg, Florida
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Chicago, Illinois
- Louisville, Kentucky
- Baltimore, Maryland
- Detroit, Michigan
- Omaha, Nebraska
- Buffalo, New York
- Raleigh, North Carolina
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Memphis, Tennessee
- Nashville, Tennessee
- Austin, Texas
- Norfolk, Virginia
- Seattle, Washington
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- Washington, D.C.
“While it is encouraging to see a slowdown in the recent homicide increase, the bloodshed continues, and at least 10 U.S. cities lost historic numbers of residents to murder last year,” CCJ senior fellow Thomas Abt said in a statement.
“This is not acceptable. We know there are multiple strategies with a track record of success in reducing violence. We need to break through our divisive politics and put these evidence-backed solutions in place now.”
Of the cities the CCJ studied, 16 reported an increase in homicides last year. St. Petersburg experienced a 108% spike.
“The elevated rates of homicide and serious assaults require an urgent response from elected leaders,” said Richard Rosenfeld, University of Missouri-St. Louis professor emeritus Richard Rosenfeld, the study’s co-author.
“A year ago, we concluded our 2020 crime report by noting that with so many lives at stake, the time to act is now. That message is as vital today as it was then.”

Murder is a cancer quickly spreading, literally killing America……………. This must change. These murders must be stopped. If they continue they will increase more and more and America will be brought down because of them.

I believe the only way to deter these criminals is to bring back the electric chair, gas chamber or hanging. It is a national disgrace as to what is going on in our country. These low life scum have it to good here in America. I just can’t understand why these criminals want to kill someone or rob a store or car jack someone, ETC. Why can’t we all live in peace? I can bet my bottom dollar these thugs never went to church or were raised in a God fearing family..what a terrible shame on their parents!!!

As soon as the “cruel and unusual” crap can be discarded and some pain added to sentencing, fear will make the thugs reform in a big way. Indonesia slaps them with bamboo poles for a lasting impression making it near impossible to sit. A few weeks at a time with this form of attitude adjustment works very well. The death sentence of choice would be impalement for the truly proven evil such as crimes against children.

They have taken our right to defend yourself without having to go through a trial To prove some SCUM BAG with an arrest record long as your arm, that you are not the CRIMINAL. And some COMMUNIST States just because you own a gun you are a Criminal. Because where I live it is open Carry and you bet I do. People better get use to it. I will be Damned if I am not going to have a way to defend myself. Because the Police have their hands Tied. And the Criminals know it. They have all the rights and, as long as you are voting Democrat, are BLM, ANTIFA or just one of the oppressed they will drop any and all charges. So what do you expect?

The woke, the liberals, and die hard indoctrinated democrates that have blinders on and have no vision for leadership or self thinking skills think that guns cause death. They blame police for excessive force when making arrests with warrants. Its pure stupidity.
It’s the criminals that bare the responsibility for causing bad outcomes for committing crimes and then risisting arrests when confronted.
No criminal obeys gun laws or is going to buy insurance because he possesses a stolen firearm.
Any politician that believes they would does not have the thinking capability to hold a a position in a public office and should be immediatly removed. They promote civil unrest because of warped conclusions because of inadequate thinking ability.
And the voters who keep putting such inadiqate people in office are in the same position of not having vision as to what inadiqate people in government will implement that actually has a negative impact on this country and the citizens within.
Just a little research will reveal who is qualified with knowledge in genuine actual productive thinking.
Wording to incite emotions is a play of the SOCIALISTS.
Like, if they followed through with those killed with knives , it would be called
“KNIFE VIOLENCE” or with hammers,
“HAMMER VIOLENCE”
Trying to pass laws by emotions is socialistic,
not democratically, with logical thinking in what is best for the country.
Power should not be the goal of a politician,
only the good of the people should be the priority.
And most Democrats are now power hungry SOCIALISTS

That pretty well sums it up.
Democrat run major cites have decades of enabling and coddling criminals. Democrat mayors and city officials are scoff laws, proudly announcing they will not enforce laws they do not like. For decades, they have refused to deal with gang and thug culture and ignore the impact of “don’t be a snitch” killings of witnesses and victims.
They have proudly marched arm in arm with BLM rioters, declaring allegiance to their actions and goals. Now, New York and other cities are in the throes of low bail / no bail.
After decades of being soft on crime and not dealing with it, Liberals and Dems are watching the violence and destruction destroy their cities,
Now, they act like helpless victims, as though it is all some terrible random hailstorm. Gee, how did it ever come to this?

If we just went back to a LAW & ORDER Country it would come to a halt !! Right now we have Cops being hunted down & the Perps being set free as soon as they are arrested!! It used to be if you killed a cop you either got the Death Penalty or LIFE in Prison !! Put that Bail HIGH enough to keep them in jail for trial! Get rid of the whiney Judges & replace them with LAW & ORDER JUDGES !! Put all of Soros’ DAs IN PRISON for being commies !! BLM & ANTIFA should all be in Prison or GITMO !! I Prefer GITMO ~ while they build the scaffoling to be hung on!!

You think it might have something to do with the weak DA’s and the crooks being released, almost as soon as they are arrested. It may also have to do with the illegals coming into our country, and Biden sending them wherever he thinks they should be. If you notice and follow any of this, I believe they are being flown into Red States. If you put everything that is going on, you could possibly be looking at a cope.

And what do most of these cities have in common? They are run by democrats. Time to wake up people. And don’t even think about moving to some red state and messing up the good things that are going on there.

I think we should deport anyone who has voted for a Democrat in the last 15 years to be deported and crime would drop probably 99.8%

A statistical analysis of the demographics of criminal violence in America reveals perpetrators are disproportionately urban, ethnic, gang and drug-related. And illegally armed.
