1% of Democrat Counties Make Up 42% of America\u2019s Murders<\/a><\/p>\n

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, \u201cRed States Have Higher Murder Rates\u201d and \u201cRepublicans Like to Talk Tough on Crime \u2014 But They\u2019re the Ones with a Real Crime Problem\u201d.<\/p>\n

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, \u201cOklahoma\u2019s murder rate was almost 50 percent higher than California\u2019s, almost double New York\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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 \u2018blue\u2019 parts<\/a>\u00a0of Oklahoma are also red with blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact is the rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma County and Tulsa are two of the 62 counties that were responsible for 56% of America\u2019s murders in 2020. A\u00a0groundbreaking study<\/a>\u00a0by John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center, revealed that \u201c1% of counties have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders\u201d and \u201c2% of counties contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Cook County, Houston\u2019s Harris County, Detroit\u2019s Wayne County, Memphis\u2019 Shelby County, Phoenix\u2019s Maricopa County, Cleveland\u2019s Cuyahoga County, and many others.<\/p>\n

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%.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shelby was not only one of the three counties in Tennessee to vote Democrat, it was also responsible for 311 of the state\u2019s 682 murders. Similarly, Wayne County was responsible for 379 of Michigan\u2019s 693 murders. Houston accounted for 405 of the 537 murders in Harris County and along with Dallas\u2019 251 murders, Austin\u2019s 47, San Antonio\u2019s 128, Fort Worth\u2019s 99, accounted for around half of murders in Texas. Maricopa County made up 299 of the 423 murders in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Marion County, where Indianapolis is located, accounted for nearly half of the murders in the state, even though it has less than 10% of the population. Milwaukee was responsible for 201 of Wisconsin\u2019s 308 murders even though it also has less than 10% of the population.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a red state murder problem, red states have a Democrat crime problem.<\/p>\n

The CPRC study showed that while 2% of counties populated by Democrats were responsible for 56% of the country\u2019s murders, 52% of counties had no murders and 68% of counties had at most one murder.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Democrat crime cities and counties have created a massive social problem that otherwise would hardly exist. As the study notes, \u201cIf 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.\u201d We could have the murder rate of New Zealand.<\/p>\n

If it wasn\u2019t for the Democrat crime counties.<\/p>\n

America is not a dangerous or crime-ridden country. Unfortunately Democrat cities are overrun with criminals and the politicians who cater to them. The Democrats became an urban party and, after jettisoning the white working class and the small business middle class became the party of criminals. From police defunding to the Black Lives Matter riots to mass jailbreaks and the legalization of drugs and shoplifting in major cities, they embraced pro-crime policies that unleashed a massive crime wave. And now they pretend not to know what\u2019s causing the crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cNationwide, violent crime rose substantially in 2020,\u201d Krugman admitted. \u201cNobody knows for sure what caused the surge \u2014 just as nobody knows for sure what caused the epic decline in crime from 1990 to the mid-2010.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tough-on-crime policies cut crime in the 90s and the oughts: pro-crime policies boosted crime.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no mystery here. Crime is caused by repeat offenders. In the 90s we began locking them up and then about 5 years ago, we began letting them go at the federal and state level.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0\u2018I Can\u2019t Breathe: How a Racial Hoax Is Killing America\u2019,<\/a>\u00a0David Horowitz exposed the lies behind the Black Lives Matter pro-crime movement and warned of the pandemic of crime that was being unleashed. That hoax has unleashed unprecedented violence, but that crime wave largely remains confined to Democrat areas where criminals prey on members of the party.<\/p>\n

More than an additional\u00a05,000 people were killed<\/a>\u00a0in 2020. There is little doubt that the disproportionate majority of both the victims and the killers were Democrats. Democrat pro-crime policies are killing Americans, but mostly they\u2019re killing fellow Democrats.<\/p>\n

An added 5,000 murders alone means $85 billion in costs. That\u2019s a fraction of the money, estimated at half a trillion dollars, that we spend every year coping with the criminal justice and social problems caused by Democrat crime.<\/p>\n

America could be a safe and pleasant place to live. And the majority of its counties, which are mostly Republican, are. Unfortunately many of its Democrat counties are broken places, packed with broken families, criminal cultures and leftist politicians who pander to the criminals.<\/p>\n

And the party and its media cover it up with lies about systemic racism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
