RECORD HOMICIDES IN CITY AFTER CITY<\/a><\/p>\n

With three weeks still to go in 2021, at least 12 major U.S. cities have\u00a0broken their annual homicide records<\/a>. Two other cities are on the verge of doing so.<\/p>\n

The cities that have already suffered a record number of homicides are:<\/p>\n

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
\nColumbus, Ohio
\nIndianapolis, Indiana
\nLouisville, Kentucky
\nSt. Paul, Minnesota
\nPortland, Oregon
\nTucson, Arizona
\nToledo, Ohio
\nAustin, Texas
\nRochester, New York
\nAlbuquerque, New Mexico
\nBaton Rouge, Louisiana<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Five of these cities \u2014 Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, Toledo, and Baton Rouge \u2014 broke records set in 2020. That was the year when homicides increased 30 percent nationally, the largest single-year jump since the FBI began recording crime statistics 60 years ago.<\/p>\n

The two cites that are likely to break their annual record before the end of the month are Minneapolis and Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Chicago will not break the record it set way back in 1970. However, it leads the nation with 739 homicides as of the end of November, a small increase from 2020.<\/p>\n

What do the 15 homicide-plagued cities mentioned above have in common?<\/p>\n

Every one of them has a Democrat<\/del> demoncrap as mayor.<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t speak to the specifics of law enforcement in all 15 cities. However, we have covered the abdication, in effect, by the police forces in Portland and Minneapolis. We also know about the pro-criminal, anti-police policies of Philadelphia\u2019s Soros-backed chief prosecutor, Larry Krasner.<\/p>\n

Krasner, by the way, claims that Philadelphia isn\u2019t experiencing a crime wave. This willfully ignorant statement has drawn\u00a0howls of derision<\/a>\u00a0from Philadelphia residents and officials:<\/p>\n

Former Philly mayor Michael Nutter did not mince words<\/p>\n

[Krasner\u2019s statements are] some of the worst, most ignorant, and most insulting comments I have ever heard spoken by an elected official. It takes a certain audacity of ignorance and\u00a0white privilege<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>to say that right now. . . .<\/p>\n

I have to wonder what kind of messed-up world of\u00a0white wokeness<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Krasner is living in to have so little regard for human lives lost, many of them Black and brown, while he advances his own national profile as a progressive district attorney.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Emphasis added)<\/p>\n

Darnetta Arce, executive director of the Brewerytown and Sharswood civic association in North Philadelphia, complained:<\/p>\n

People get carjacked at the gas station. We have people getting robbed as they walk down the street. We have people getting shot. So, no, it\u2019s not safe in our community right now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Current Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney acknowledged:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s terrible to every morning get up and have to go look at the numbers and then look at the news and see the stories. It\u2019s just crazy. It\u2019s just crazy and this needs to stop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But it won\u2019t stop, not with a radical leftist chief prosecutor who refuses to acknowledge the problem, even in the face of\u00a0statistics<\/a>\u00a0showing that his city of roughly 1.5 million people has had more homicides this year (521 as of December 6) than the nation\u2019s two largest cities, New York (443 as of December 5) and Los Angeles (352 as of Nov. 27). The 521 homicides represent an increase of 13 percent from 2020, a near-record year in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

I suspect that, for Krasner, this isn\u2019t a problem, not one he\u2019s concerned about anyway. He\u2019s concerned about the incarceration of Blacks \u2014 about \u201csocial justice,\u201d not public safety or, indeed, actual justice.<\/p>\n

Krasner may an extreme case, but his views have taken hold elsewhere. That\u2019s a major reason why more than a dozen cities will set homicides records this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
