AJC tries to understand why ATL murders are up

quote:

* Nearly 80%, or 121, were Black men. Eleven were white men. Twenty-two women of both races were killed, though most were Black. One Asian man and two Hispanic men were among the dead.


Guns. Guns did this. Oh..and Covid.

Still waiting on any mention of defund the police as having any connection to increase as they dig deep for reasons.

quote:

DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond believes the pandemic played a role in areas that saw drastic increases in homicides. Anxiety and fear over the coronavirus or finances can contribute to violence, he said.

Yeah, Covid created a black culture that legitimizes single mother families with limited involvement from fathers which leads young black men to join street gangs for acceptance.

Maybe because it seems more likely that they can get away with it, than ever before?

We need block grants given to the gangs along with reparations. Then they will evolve into solid tax paying entrepreneurs.

Anyone who disagrees with this is racist and misogynistic.

That 400 plus deficit In officers at the PD may have something to do with it. Indict your officers on legit use of force incidents and see how proactive the remaining officers will be.

One of the murders.......

quote:

In one case, the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.


Huh???

Someone forced him to shot himself I guess?

I see they are doing the ole statistical mumba. So half are solved, I think I can walk up to a car, see 10 bullets in the guy and solve it as a murder.

Seriously, of those "solved". How many result in an arrest, and of those how many result in a conviction, and of those a sizeable conviction?

You can do the crime if you dont have to do the time.

It would be more interesting to see the breakdown of who committed the homicides.

A weak intellect that only knows fight or flight and is incapable of sensible debate might have something to do with it.
