Are you suppose to have your EDC on your person at all times? Even when you are taking out the trash?

Top of the front page on the most visited news site in America.

Houston is becoming famous nationwide for violent crime.

Houston has turned into Chicago, and we are slowly on our way to becoming South Africa.

South Africa is famous for attacks on innocent law abiding people while they on their drive ways, taking out the garbage, and playing with their children.

Houston is now more dangerous than any city in Iraq or Pakistan: https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings.jsp

Keep your head on a swivel and always carry.

If you live in a place run by criminal enabling democrats you sadly do need to carry everywhere. I'm sure the concerned moderates will be along shortly to show their displeasure about you continuing to bring attention to the democrat crime wave in places like Houston and Austin.

Stay out of urban areas everywhere in the United States.

…to quote Scott Adams: "cross the street."

When there's no real penalty & the cops are blamed for scumbag thug behavior, what else would you expect?

Thanks Lina

Houston has been Chicago & Detroit for some time now !

The only difference it's in a red state for now ………

Yes.

I do when taking out trash. Loose dogs and feral humans.

This is what happens wherever you have a high concentration of Mondays.

She deserves the blame for defunding the police, but the Soros funded judges and Soros funded DA are equally to blame for the increase in violent crime.

the people voted her in. Now they are reaping what they have sown.

Sucks for people that don't vote democrat, but I don't live in these areas by choice.

West U is full of progressives, liberals, etc.

Lil Homies will be back next week to try again.

Because it is applicable:

The Wuhan virus came from CHI-NA.

The current heightened violent criminal state of Harris Co. comes from LI-NA.

Yes,crime rates and population density are correlated. That correlation has replicated for centuries and everywhere on the planet with few exceptions. Densly populated areas experience higher crime rates as a result of an enormous number of factors. The suggestion that cities are just filled with "libs" or whatever that dig their own holes and kind of having what's coming to them is a lazy oversimplification of crime.

This narrative that U.S. cities are turning into lawless war zones is taking a few drops of truth and dumping gallons of fear-mongering nonsense on top of it.

Yes, crime data saw an alarming increase starting in 2020, particularly in big cities. The anomaly could be attributed to some pretty significant social and economic challenges that came into play in 2020. That's why the entire world saw similar crime rate spikes. It wasn't isolated to the United States by any means.

Even taking into account the rise in crime rates from 2020-2022, the crime rate, particularly the violent crime rate in the U.S. is nowhere near what it was 30 years ago. Contrary to the anecdotal evidence and alarmist fear peddling nonsense, violent crime has decreased steadily over the last several decades. To get back to 1990 levels, it would require an enormous spike ten times the increase experienced in the last couple of years to get there.

And despite every single suburban home invasion being posted on F16 as a clear indication of anarchy and Armagedn, the numbers have normalized in Texas cities over the past 18 months.

These incidents posted here are alarming and I feel for victims of crime. I've been one. I'm not suggesting otherwise. But the data doesn't support this crumbling civilization nonsense.

Haha all the Beto voters in West U getting robbed by fellow Beto voters.

What a pathetic dig at the EDC community, which you know nothing about, who would defend you in a second if your life were in jeopardy. Between this and your condescending anti-gun thread, you should consider how you treat other Aggies in your community. Nobody is laughing if you think you are being funny. Reported.

We're talking Houston. Does your data suggest Houston has not gotten worse?

Must not have seen his rainbow virtual signal sign. They are all over that area.

Riiiiiggggghhhhhhhtt. Book smart v street smart.

Things will change.
When problems from the other side of town, come to your side of town, it will only take a year or two of it before thoughts and opinions change. There won't be any flight from the WU. The real estate is too valuable.

This needs to become more frequent in The Heights, Rice Village, West U and Monstrose where white liberals continue to vote heavily in favor of this.

Bruh…the stats are pretty crazy. I think it's absurd to pretend liberal soft on crime and defund the police type BS isn't contributing. It's goaltending at its finest. Violent crime has spiked almost across the board since 2019…shocking increases in some of these places. These aren't just desperate dudes who lost their honest jobs during Covid lol.

San Anto, puttin' in that work.

You just posted data that supports my point.

The title of that chart is literally "Murder Rates Fell in Most Big Cities in 2022".

The right column shows a nationwide rise in homicide rates for a two year period beginning in 2019 and then the anomaly levels out and the rates drop back to previous levels in most cases over the last year which aligns perfectly with what I posted.

That media headline is tricking you. As intended. Throw out 2021 and compare 2019 to 2022. Look at Colorado Springs for instance. Portland has obviously been ruined by leftists, but I was surprised by a few other on there.

If a city experiences a shocking crime increase from 2019 to 2022, but a very slight decrease from 2021 to 2022, is that really something to brag about???

Just look at Mesa, AZ and Austin, TX…that is not good. That graphic completely shatters any point you were trying to make. No one cares about a 3% decrease in homicides from 2021 to 2022, when homicides are up 100-200+% over a multi-year span in that city. Only a brainwashed lib would toot their horn like that.

From the YouTube video description. Some pretty stupid robbers.

On Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at around 2:45 pm, the complainant had just arrived home and parked in his garage at the 3500 block of Bradford, in Houston, Texas. The complainant stated that he was suddenly approached by two unknown males (one armed with a handgun) who were demanding his car keys. The complainant informed the suspects that his keys were in his vehicle inside a backpack. As the complainant reached into his vehicle to get his backpack, the second suspect opened the passenger door and took the backpack from him. That suspect then fled the scene with the backpack (and car keys) while the first suspect entered the complainant's vehicle in an attempt to steal it, but was unable to start it because the second suspect had the keys when he fled.

The complainant started to run after the suspect that had his backpack and heard gunshots coming from the first suspect, who was running behind him. The suspect that had the backpack also heard the gunshots, causing him to drop the backpack. The complainant was then able to recover his backpack (with all his property) as both suspects caught up with each other at the 3500 block of W. Holcombe. The suspects then got into a blue Chevrolet Camaro with a third suspect and sped away from the scene.

I'm being tricked? Firstly, you're the one that posted the ****ing chart, and despite taking a very aggressive Conservative stance, you pulled the data from a Bloomberg site, which is kind of funny. And that's the second point. The headline over your chart is a factually correct summary of the raw law enforcement data, and not an editorial opinion. .

That being said, I will concede that the chart YOU posted, despite having no editorial statements and just data could be very misleading and "trick" people if they fail to contextualize what is being represented there.

Applying the single data point of homicide rate across a data set that includes every city over 100k (meaning your largest sample contains 8,000x more subjects than your smallest one) and if you illustrate percentage changes as opposed to incident totals, you are absolutely going to have some eye-popping visuals on that bar chart.

To use your examples of "not good" in Mesa and Austin, those increases represent roughly 11 incidents and 30 respectively. While any increase in loss of life is tragic, these are not numbers that indicate that these cities are suddenly war zones.

Lastly, the data you posted clearly shows that this trend is slowing, and certainly not increasing at some horrifying, national emergency rate. Across the board, crime rates are still way down from what they were 20 and 30 years ago.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not pro-crime are into defunding the police in any way. But I'm also not a big fan of unnecessarily scaring the hell out of everyone and creating further divide and distrust.

Check the facts.

You're the one that posted them.

There is no one with any sense living in houston that thinks it's more dangerous than chicago or Pakistan. Get a grip.

Yes, declined slightly, in average, from a very large increase in 2020-2021. I'd wait to see the decline trend continue before trumpeting any victory. We're still way above 2019 or 2013, for that matter, after a couple of decades of solid downward trend.

The ugly truth is the BLM virtue signaling grift has gotten a lot more black Americans killed over the last two years over a litany of demonstrable political lies, because of a handful of terrible outlier instances that were contrary to the general trend. That politically triggered crime wave has affected everyone negatively to some degree or other, and none of it needed to happen the way it did.

Not surprised at the complexion of the perps. Just more of the same. Broken culture people doing broken culture things.

What really puts it into perspective is that Houston is more dangerous than Washington DC

Public executions are only answer

I'm curious, do you carry?
