As Anti-Cop Protests Continue, Americans Are Murdering Each Other In Record Numbers
Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog, We have seen spikes in certain major cities before, but there has never been a year quite like this. In 2020, murder rates have been soaring dramatically from coast to coast, and many are deeply concerned about what our big metropolitan areas will look like if this trend continues into 2021 and beyond.
After the jump we share a few more local, national and global crime links for further edification . . .

A record breaking murder number is still nothing to be proud of. We can do better, we should try to do better.
ReplyDelete^^^^
DeleteOf course, but it's a national problem, not just something that's happening here locally. People are blaming police for the crime rather than the suspects. That needs to stop or at least face some resistance.
Police are now the enemy of our White House. That shouldn't be the case but that's what happens when the future president takes the side of BLM. It's only going to get worse when Vice-President Kamala takes power.
DeleteThink about it.
YAY WHAT AN AMAZING CITY THIS IS!
ReplyDeleteOur murder rate and our hood rats are dog shit. Baltimore has 335 murders and Chicago has 788. Philadelphia has 494. We aren’t even the murder capital of our own state. St Louis is smoking us with 262.
DeleteThe families of the dead people and anyone who isn't a criminal differ in opinion.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! They are proud that we suck ass!
ReplyDeleteDon't use the N word. They are ethically challenged ethnic minorities.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly a bragging point.
ReplyDeleteI bet mayor mckneely is crying tears as big as horse turds! Haha!
ReplyDeleteAs Anti-Cop Protests Continue, Americans Are Murdering Each Other In Record Numbers
ReplyDeleteRegarding your headline (above):
I think you need to distinguish between "Americans" and displaced "Congolese".
We all talk around it, but we also KNOW WHO IS DOING THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE KILLING, PARTICULARLY WHEN COMPUTED AGAINST BLACK POPULATION STATS.
Somehow it seems unlikely that the families of the victims should be encouraged by the usual manipulation of statistics.
ReplyDeleteKCMO has fully half the number of homicides every year as New York City, which has a population 17 times the size.
Secondly, the police don't prevent murders, but they need to identify the perpetrators and get the local prosecutor to bring charges resulting in convictions to get these maniacs off the streets.
In KCMO the clearance rate for homicides hovers around only 50%, the residents of the neighborhoods most affected by all the murders continue to not cooperate in their own safety, and the prosecutor is more interested in bad mouthing cops than she is in convicting thugs.
This "report" is just the latest snapshot of what's been going on in KCMO for decades.
Nothing has changed.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it hasn't changed. You're just being myopic.
Delete^^ Yes, nothing has changed. Travel the U S of A, where Hoodie Rats tell us about our great city. " You from KILLA CITY ?". And that is a fact of how well we are known amongst them.
ReplyDeleteHood rats killing other hood rats. What’s wrong with that?
ReplyDeletePer capita the blacks here outpace spearchuckers in other cities.
ReplyDeleteSo, Chief Smith is kicking ass after all! Those city council members who hate him need to crawl back under their rocks.
ReplyDeleteSo next year the goal is to have only a 12.5% increase in homicides?
ReplyDeleteI'd be much happier if the blacks went the abortion route instead of them making us wait around for them to shoot each other. Be efficient please!
ReplyDeleteAnd only geriatric fucktards care. Weird.
ReplyDeleteTrue dat. Lots of poop diapers in a twist over this.
DeleteWhat does 9:29 and Power & Light have in common?
ReplyDeleteNeither one's ball will drop on New Year's.
^^and yet both will live to see New Year’s Eve 2021 unlike you though. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOur murder total would be higher if our hood rats had any skill at all. But they don’t and our hood rats are pussies.
ReplyDeleteCome on team BLM kill like it's 2020 before it's too late !
ReplyDeleteI have a dream!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat the reason the murder rate is lower than other cities, is that we are running out of black people to kill.
Come on man! We all got to dream!
some of these comments want to talk about stats and crimes but there's just a lot of old racist fools on here who are probably living in some trailer park who are just angry because their Swanson turkey pot pie was overcooked.
ReplyDeleteUse that delete button more liberally TKC and mods. No point in enduring the dimwits who don't even live in Kansas City.
Ook ook, me not get dem stats doe
DeleteThe endless discussions, by our elites and pols, concerning “gun violence” will never result in a solution unless three little letters are handled differently.
ReplyDeleteI own multiple firearms. I know a number of people who also own multiple firearms. Unless, perhaps, during deployment, none of those folks, nor myself, have ever shot, nor shot at, someone.
The three letters are: a, t, o.
Asking whAT can be done is politically safe (and useless).
Asking whO is productive, but immediately declared to be 'racisssst'.
We all intuitively know the problem, supported by FBI stats, is the WHO.
Pretending anything else is simply an effort to gain political points and/or eliminate the 2nd amendment.
Until the WHO is fixed, the rest of us deplorables require protective firearms, in the era of calls for police 'defunding and abolishment' insanity.
Darwin could explain what happens to those woke folks who choose to appeal to, or depend on, love and kindness.
So, Our Felons are better this year at Football than Killing ? I doubt that.
ReplyDeleteOnly diaper poopers care ? Only Millennial and Monkeys are too dumb to realize your problems of Society. Instead jump to support groups like BLM that don't. Get off your mom's tit long enough to be aware.
