The Murder Rate is Suddenly Falling: The first five months of 2023 have produced an encouraging overall trend for the first time in years - The Atlantic
Here's some good news for a Sunday morning!
Murder is down about 12 percent year-to-date in more than 90 cities that have released data for 2023, compared with data as of the same date in 2022.
Murder is down 13 percent in New York City, and shootings are down 25 percent, relative to last year as of late May. Murder is down more than 20 percent in Los Angeles, Houston, and Philadelphia. And, most significantly, murder is down 30 percent—30 percent!—or more in Jackson, Mississippi; Atlanta, Georgia; Little Rock, Arkansas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and others.

Huge congrats to those that avoided being murdered this year.

Wow, election season must be coming up huh? Amazing how all the numbers start to look good across the board right as election season gets close.

Fun fact:
Out of 190+ countries, the U.S. is 3rd in “gun violence”. Now, if you take away the 5 cities with the STRICTEST gun laws (Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, & Philadelphia or Atlanta)…..
The U.S. would rank 189th

They are running out of black males 14-30 to kill.

Nobody can afford the ammo or the gas to go get some.

Our gun laws aren’t particularly strict in Georgia…

I mean it had to drop. COVID was a great time to be a criminal combined with all the anti cop BS. People are sick of that shite now.

It's pretty clear that we had a spike in 2020 due to Covid, the riots, and police response due to both. Now that things are normalizing, it's not shocking the murder rate is also normalizing.

The numbers were declining for about 30 years prior to the jump in 2020

This is what's to be expected and isn't shocking at all.

Can we compare how the current statistics are collected and compiled versus prior years? This seems like the unemployment data- it always gets revised somewhere down the line. Usually on a Friday afternoon when no one is really paying attention. Might want to review how they classify crimes now too since many of these cities are Dem controlled.

They made the claim, therefore it's on them to back. But, for every 1.0 killed per 100,000 that's ~3300 murders in America. To move from 3 to 189 is gonna require more a 1.0 change, and those 5 cities can't even account for a 1.0
