Democrats desperately trying to spin high crime rates caused by their pro-crime policies began falsely claiming that crime was a Republican problem. The media began running articles with headlines like, "Red States Have Higher Murder Rates" and "Republicans Like to Talk Tough on Crime But They're the Ones with a Real Crime Problem".

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who once claimed that the internet would have no more of an impact than the fax machine, argued that high crime was really a Republican problem and decided to prove it by claiming that, "Oklahoma's murder rate was almost 50 percent higher than California's, almost double New York's."

Krugman, who somehow has a Nobel Prize, failed to note that most of the murders were coming out of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. In last year's gubernatorial election, Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt won most of the state while Oklahoma, Tulsa and Cleveland counties however went to leftist Democrat Joy Hofmeister. The 'blue' parts of Oklahoma are also red with blood.

"The fact is the rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch," Hoffmeister had claimed in a viral gubernatorial debate attack. Oklahoma had 287 murders in 2020: 166 came out of Oklahoma County and Tulsa County, the two counties that supported Hoffmeister.

Oklahoma County and Tulsa are two of the 62 counties that were responsible for 56% of America's murders in 2020. A groundbreaking study by John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center, revealed that "1% of counties have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders" and "2% of counties contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders."

The 1% of bloody red counties include such Democrat strongholds as Philadelphia, New York City, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Dallas, D.C., Miami-Dade, Milwaukee, San Diego, St. Louis, Chicago's Cook County, L Houston's Harris County, Detroit's Wayne County, Memphis' Shelby County, Pheonix's Maricopa County, Cleveland's Cuyahoga County, and many others.

Biden won Cook County, the bloodiest county in the country, by 66%. He won Los Angeles County, the second bloodiest, by 71%, Harris County by 56%, Philadelphia by 81%, New York City by 76%, Wayne County by 68%, and Shelby County by 64%....

There isn't a red state murder problem, red states have a Democrat crime problem.

The CPRC study showed that while 2% of counties populated by Democrats were responsible for 56% of the country's murders, 52% of counties had no murders and 68% of counties had at most one murder.

These numbers clearly show that America is not a violent country, that we do not have a crime problem and that gun culture is not the issue: crime culture in Democrat cities is the issue.

Democrat crime cities and counties have created a massive social problem that otherwise would hardly exist. As the study notes, "If the 1% of the counties with the worst number of murders somehow were to become a separate country, the murder rate in the rest of the US would have been only 4.31 in 2020. Removing the worst 2% or 5% would have reduced the US rate to just 3.71 or 2.99 per 100,000, respectively." We could have the murder rate of New Zealand.

If it wasn't for the Democrat crime counties.

this is my surprise face

We know

Duh

Democrat Soros funded DAs and Democrat Soros funded judges are responsible for this.

Baghdad and Karachi are safer than Houston thanks to Hidalgo, Ogg, Turner, and the Soros judges.

https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings.jsp

The whole red state high murder rate narrative was a flat out lie perpetrated by the lying Democrats. The know full well the real problem is with the deep blue cities within the red states.

You encourage Soros back DAs and elect left wing, soft on crime judges that refuse to put criminals on jail and this is what you get.

Democrats are anti-law enforcement, anti-law abiding freaks that have used race to justify letting criminals rule the streets in America's big cities. The should never be trusted to run anything, but especially law enforcement and national security.

This is obviously a red state problem!

SJR44 is literally going through in Texas right now because letting out violent offenders is a state issue. Current Texas law says you have to be offered bail unless it is a capital case.

Wait. I had it on good authority that cops were the main issue when it came to killing!

If there was only a way to separate large democrat cities from the rest of the country!

Democrats have played the long game and control all now. They also control the country because of it.

'These folks are starting a much needed conversation.' - Concerned Moderate

As a nation we can't even talk about it.

I may not be up to date here, but my understanding isn't that bail is offered but the bail amount is incredibly small or just a PR bond, no?

Bail is required. $1 bail is not.

If only we had strict gun laws in the 1%…. Oh wait…

Amazing watching you flounder around posting gibberish nonstop.

Yeah but I always liked stats. They tell the real truth not just the obvious

If they would just pass a little more gun control....

Obama's claims are that racist White Flight drew much needed affluence and investment out to the Suburbs and has devastated the Inner City.

His answer is to move more Inner City types out to the Burbs via Fed "investment" aka distribution for low-income housing.

So, if you move those criminals into the Suburbs, you will less concentration in Democrat cities.

---

These kinds of policies ruined Cedar Hill, Grand Prairie, and Arlington. Plus, all 3 local governments took federal money in exchange for more multi-family housing, which ultimately became low-income housing. Then section 8 housing became commonplace.

Having grown up in all three places - I would NOT raise a family in ANY of the 3 except for maybe far West Arlington.

Yep!

HUD is enforcing this as quickly as possible, along with their climate change agenda that our military also needs. In fact, our navy is completely woke. I"m more concerned about the Chinese using the wrong pronouns on our military than I am about the Chinese shooting and killing our soldiers.

It just dawned on me the lack of a smartass emoji attached to my comment.

So will that clean up the inner cities, and cause 'white flight' back into downtown?

Ability to pay shouldn't be a reason to keep someone (according to the US constitution). They are either a threat or not.

More population, more murders, go figure....tough for Loving county to have 100 murders in a year.

Perhaps that's why the judge uses his judgement when determining bail. If you get arrested for violent and illegal actions and can't afford bail, well, tough ***** Don't commit violent and illegal actions.

So people think that murderers care about politics, LOL. They don't.. But some right wing source decided they do and try to paint it into Dem vs Rep. Now who's trying to divide the country again??

We're not trying to divide it. We're trying to educate Democratic voters on why voting for Democrats is not in anyone's best interests.

It's pathetic that facts and statistics are now right wing. And I'm not even being sarcastic since Democrat CRT actually thinks this and are proponents of doing away with both. Lol.

Take these numbers a step further and look at it by race and then be further offended when you see that 13% of the population is responsible for 50% of the crime and that most of those people are doing it in big blue cities.

The problem here is obvious for all to see. An indisputable fact is that Democrat policies and left wing authorities enable crime and when you couple that with an inner city bankrupt culture you have a big problem.

The color of one's skin shouldn't be a reason to let somebody out of custody (according to the US constitution). They are either a threat or not.

And, at least in Harris County, historical data shows that they are, in fact a threat. Especially when they already have multiple other bonds they are out on for violent crime.

Facts. They don't care about your social justice or feelings.

This is a response to leftists saying that red state gun problems are the reason for high murder rate. The political jab was first thrown by the left. It's right there in the article. Try to pay attention.

But the judge can determine what that bail amount is. Guy is in for his fourth violent crime ought to get an unreasonably high amount, don't you think? He is acting unreasonable towards society after all. Instead he gets something ridiculously low only to go out and hurt someone else.

This isn't hard. It's been reported on before.
