This past 4th Of July Weekend 400 (four hundred) Americans were shot across the country, 150 were killed. Over 90 people were shot in Chicago with approx 15 killed and approx 6 children killed.
In the midst of an explosion of violent crime and homicides - murders - across the US, especially in Big Blue cities - and recent poll numbers showing a majority of Americans disapprove of the Democrats / Bien administration's support of the 'Defund The Police' campaign and handling of violent crime across the US, Democrats are scrambling to conduct 'PR Damage Control' and find a way to stop the escalation of violent crime and murder.
Part of the problem has been the Democrats' support of lawlessness, of domestic terrorism, and their support for the FAILED 'Defund The police' Movement.
- Foreign/Democrat funded and supported domestic terrorists Antifa and Black Lives Matter, Marxist-based groups that openly seek to burn the government down and remake it (aka overthrow the govt), have waged a violent war against the government and law-abiding citizens, committing BILLIONS of dollars in damages in Democrat-run communities across the country. These terrorists were often bussed in from outside the communities then they looted, damaged, destroyed, and burned businesses and homes to the ground. During the violence well-known prominent Democrats paid the bails of these terrorists who were arrested for committing crimes, to include bailing out terrorists who had attempted to burn local police and federal agents alive with Molotov cocktails. The current VP was one of those Democrats who paid the bails of terrorists to get them back on the streets to commit more crimes against Americans she represented as VP.
During the terrorist protests /violence in Austin the murder rate shot up 67%. In New York shootings shot up 150% and murders rose 50%. Homicides in Portland skyrocketed to 800 (Eight HUNDRED) percent.
Democrats also fully embraced and supported the 'Defund The Police' movement and contributed to the demonization of police, which resulted in violent crime and homicide rates exploding and police officers being hunted, ambushed, shot, and murdered across the country.
Recently the Democrats, alarmed at the backlash from law-abiding citizens over the exploding violence, suddenly declared it wasn't THEM who supported and were defunding the police but was instead the GOP. The ploy fooled NO ONE. While Biden and some federal Democrats were denying any part of supporting 'Defund The Police' other Democrats like AOC and many local Democrats across the country were still calling to defund the police and to replace them with social workers.
In Chicago, D-Mayor Lori Lightfoot attempted to claim murder rates were actually DROPPING - a lie, and the very next weekend, the 4th of July weekend, over 90 people were shot, over a dozen killed, and approx 6 children were shot - a record. Lightfoot has tried denying gun violence / homicide rates were climbing, tried blaming 'Racism' for the out of control Black-on-black crime/murder, attempted to blame Trump (who was / is out of office) for the crimes / murders, tried to blame the Democrats' COVID-19 lockdowns, and is now attempting to blame it all on Chicago court systems being closed due to COVID-19. She is such a failure and Chicago's crime / homicide rate is to high that it jeopardizes all Democrats that Dementia Joe is planning to visit to tell Lightfoot to get her shit straight ASAP.
Among Liberal excuses for exploding homicide rates and shootings are:
1. COVID-19 is to blame
2. Depolicing led to it
3. Lack of trust in the police (which they contributed to)
4. More Guns Led To the exploding homicide rate
- All the domestic terrorist violence and exploding crime led law-abiding citizens to buy more guns for their protection. The DOJ just reported only 9% of guns used in crimes come from federally licensed gun dealers and only .8% come from gun shows, so the FBI debunked this false narrative
5. Overwhelmed Hospitals were to blame for increased Homicides. Although I am sure the individuals died from 'lead poisoning', this theory blames doctors for not being able to get to gunshot victims fast enough / not saving them.
6. 'Idle Hands Led To More Violence'. Boredom. No jobs, no basketball courts, no YMCA, etc...led people to decide to go out and commit crimes and kill people. Perhaps pipeline workers, and thousands of others Joe put out of jail got bored not having a job and killed people?!
7. A Bad economy. My ancestors, like others, went through the great depression and did not turn to violent un crimes and murder...next excuse....
