The perpetrator was armed with a knife. This woman would have been dead if not for her 2nd Amendment
right. Of course, the left have been waging a disgusting war on women for decades so they wouldn't have cared. In fact, I suspect that's why they want to disarm everyone. More female victims for them. Demand men have access to women's locker rooms, showers, and rest rooms and then disarm them.
Woman leaves would-be attacker bloody and wounded
Then again how many people have been killed because of guns?
Yeah, the US has a higher murder rate than any other first world country. Yes, guns in the US kill more people than guns in any other first world country.
Maybe if there were a God to be thanked, it would be because he'd kept crime rates low. But oh, Republican states, and religious states, have higher crime than non-Republican states and less Religious states.
Oh, so Republican states it is? Gee, I guess in Republican states, there are no liberal cities or people.
Why don't you talk about Republican cities compared to liberal cities........ I know you don't want to go there.
I can talk about the whole thing if you like. In fact I started a whole thread on the matter.
If a US state has Governor, House and Senate (or equivalent) that are all Republican, the average crime rate is 3107
If a US state has Republican in 2 of those positions the average crime rate is 2788
If a US state has Republican in 1 of those positions the average crime rate is 2521
If a US state has a Republican in 0 of those positions the average crime rate is 2777
If a US state voted Republican in the last 4 Presidential elections the average crime rate is 3109
If a US state voted Republican 3 out of the last 4 times the average crime rate is 2792
If a US state voted Republican 2 out of the last 4 times the average crime rate is 3053
If a US state voted Republican 1 out of the last 4 time the average crime rate is 3253
If a US state voted Republican 0 out of the last 4 times the average crime rate 2582
(for one out of 4 there's only 2 states, one has low crime, the other much higher crime, and that's a state with 2 out of three state positions Republican)
But let's look at cities.
I've looked at the top 55 cities for size.
The average size of cities with Democrat mayors is 1.1 million
The average size for cities with Republican mayors is 576,000
The average size for independent mayors is 692,000
Republicans have only one city above 1 million.
Democrats have 9
Republicans have 13 mayors in the top 55, Republicans have 33.
So, the reality is, large cities are far more likely to be Democrat.
Yes, on average Democrat cities are likely to have higher violent crime rates.
However, when you compare the city violent crime rate with the state violent crime rate, you find something a little different.
Seven cities have lower violent crime than the state they're in.
Four in California, two in Texas and one in Virginia.
Three are Republican, two of these are in California and on in Virginia. So, you have Republican cities in Democrat states or in Virginia which is border line, slightly more Republican than Democrat.
There are four Democrat, two in Texas, two in California, so Democrat cities in both Republican and Democrat states.
What seems clear is that these are larger states, with larger cities around them to raise crime rates overall in the city, and therefore make their crime rates relatively (compared to the state) lower.
Basically big cities have higher crime rates as a rule, there is no set pattern of population size to violent crime rate.
There are 17 worse cities for violent crime than Philadelphia which has the worst crime of any city of over 1 million.
In those 17 there are 4 under 300,000, 4 between 400,000 and 499,999, 6 between 600,000 and 699,000. There's one over 700,000
Nothing in the data really points to anything right now, other than Republicans are less likely to run bigger cities.
I can add a lot more data to this, this is just with the basis. What a city constitutes Democrat/Republican wise isn't so clear from just the party of the mayor.
