Homicides are up because Democratic Mayors, City Councils, Governors and state legislators are turning a blind eye towards violence.
They are seeking to trivialize what were formerly major crimes.
They are seeking to do away with bail.
In short, they are seeking to turn the criminal into a martyr or a saint.
Go out and commit crimes! Kill people who have done you wrong! We owe it to you!
Don't kid yourselves...."causes are myriad" my ass.
It's funny how you blame Donald Trump for people doing bad things (like some so-called rise in right-wing terrorism/violence due to his "dog-whistling"), but you don't attribute this rise in homicide in mostly Democrat cities to the DOG WHISTLES they are blowing (ie. "it's ok...you'll likely get away with most anything currently...we are defunding cops and getting rid of bail and releasing people from jail early...").
It's like a ****ing clown car full of cucks around here...refusing to see what is staring them right in the face for months.
"Myriad of reasons..."
