Democrats destroy everything they touch.....their policies that keep releasing violent gun offenders are getting tens of thousand of people murdered. Then they ise the carnage they cause to take guns away from good people....
Democrats are misanthropes
Let’s talk about homicide rates in red cities vs. blue cities of similar size.
The biggest cities in America are almost entirely Democrat-controlled. Of all cities with over 500,000 people — 36 in total — only four have Republican mayors. But once you get into cities with populations just under the half-million mark, you get a decent mix of party control. From there, you can make some useful comparisons.
For this exercise, the cities I’ve included are those with a population of 400,000 to 500,000. I used the Mayor’s party as a loose proxy to label the city as either “red” or “blue” (I acknowledge that’s imperfect, but this isn’t a peer-reviewed paper)
------
The homicide rates for each city in 2022 are as follows:
Raleigh: 49 homicides, or 10.5 per 100,000
Long Beach: 36 homicides, or 7.7 per 100,000
Oakland: 134 homicides, or 30.4 per 100,000 (NOTE: 2021 data, couldn’t find 2022)
Minneapolis: 81 homicides, or 18.8 per 100,000
BLUE CITY HOMICIDE AVERAGE: 20.3 per 100,000
Colorado Springs: 54 homicides, or 11.3 per 100,000
Virginia Beach: 23 homicides, or 5.0 per 100,000
Miami: 47 homicides, or 10.6 per 100,000
Tulsa: 68 homicides, or 16.5 per 100,000
Bakersfield: 38 homicides, or 9.4 per 100,000
RED CITY HOMICIDE AVERAGE: 9.8 per 100,000
Failure is a choice. You don’t have to like Republicans, but people in all of these violent blue cities should demand better from their elected leaders.
