This statistical chicanery was debunked immediately in the fall when it came out.

Try to keep up. Everyone knows the real murder problem is among young black adult males in Dem plantation cities, whose deaths are a-ok (as are black abortion deaths) for white liberals, as they are a useful political tool first and worthless to them, second.

If serious, ask if decarceration really is solving/helping the murder rates in any states it is being implemented in:

While [Philadelphia District Attorney Larry] Krasner, Newsom and other Democrats try to deflect, what we really should be asking is: Is it wise to pursue decarceration for its own sake when so many crimes are committed by those with lengthy criminal histories and active criminal justice statuses like probation or parole?

If Democrats are worried about losing touch with the American public on these questions, they should either change course, or better defend their decision to stay on the path they're on. Telling the American public not to believe what they see on the news, however, is a losing strategy.

Democrats rarely take the blame for the results of their policiesjust look at President Joe Biden blaming Putin and everyone else on the planet for high gas pricesand this shameless attempt to deflect from their failures by admonishing red states is pitiful. The American people can see through it.

The answer is simply no, and black communities are hardest hit. The soft bigotry of sophist thinking of trying to play that off on red states/white conservatives is pathetic at very best, and statistically/factually wholly false.

Meanwhile, in rural Ellijay, GA, no less than 3 armed customers stopped the robbery of a convenience store by holding the robber at gunpoint for police.

This is a big reality shift away from a common assumption and a popular political narrative that was heavily used in the last election cycle. Unsuccessfully, I might add. Maybe this is why.

Takeaways

• The murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Donald Trump has exceeded the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden in every year from 2000 to 2020.
• Over this 21-year span, this Red State murder gap has steadily widened from a low of 9% more per capita red state murders in 2003 and 2004 to 44% more per capita red state murders in 2019, before settling back to 43% in 2020.
• Altogether, the per capita Red State murder rate was 23% higher than the Blue State murder rate when all 21 years were combined.
• If Blue State murder rates were as high as Red State murder rates, Biden-voting states would have suffered over 45,000 more murders between 2000 and 2020.
• Even when murders in the largest cities in red states are removed, overall murder rates in Trump-voting states were 12% higher than Biden-voting states across this 21-year period and were higher in 18 of the 21 years observed.

In this study, we collected homicide data from 2000 through 2020 for all 50 states from the Center of Disease Control Wonder's National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Data. Data is based on death certificates collected by state registries and provided to the National Vital Statistics System. We chose CDC data over FBI data because it's more up to date and does not rely on voluntary reporting from counties and states. All states are required to report mortality data to the CDC; they're only encouraged to report crime data to the FBI. The United States Department of Justice has acknowledged that CDC data is more accurate. (There were four states with several years of missing dataNew Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming. In these instances, we relied on FBI numbers from the Uniform Crime Statistics.)1 To allow for comparison, we calculated the state's per capita murder rate, the number of murders per 100,000 residents, and categorized states by their presidential vote in the 2020 election, resulting in an even 25-25 state split.

27 of the 30 highest murder rates are in Democrat cities in Democrat controlled counties with a Soros prosecutor and Soros judges.

It is the reason that Harris County and Travis County have turned into crime ridden ****holes.

It is the reason Austin has a record murder rate two years in a row after defunding the police by a record amount.
