The number of murders in the United States jumped by nearly 30 percent in 2020 compared to the previous year in the largest single-year increase ever recorded in the country, according to official FBI statistics released Monday.

The data show 21,570 homicides in the U.S. in 2020, which is a staggering 4,901 more than in 2019. The tally makes clear — in concrete terms — just how violent last year was.

The overall violent crime rate, which includes murder, assault, robbery and rape, inched up around 5 percent, while property crimes continued their long-running decline and dropped 8 percent from 2019.

But the spike in murders jumps out in the FBI report because of the sheer scale of the change.

Jeff Asher, a data consultant who studies crime rates, said the increase is the largest since national records began being kept in 1960s.

The murder rate is still below its historic peaks reached in the 1990s, but the figures from 2020 show that the problem has become much more widespread.

"In the 90s, New York and Los Angeles accounted for 13.5 percent of all murders nationally. Last year, it was under 4 percent," he said. "So it's a lot more diffuse than it was in the 90s."


In the latest FBI data, murder was up more percentage-wise in cities with a population between 10,000 and 25,000 than in cities of 250,000 to 1 million.

"It was up over 30 percent in both, so neither was good, but it was worse slightly, percentage-wise in smaller cities," Asher said. "It was bad everywhere. There's not a good murder takeaway there."

Much of the violence was driven by firearms, with nearly 77 percent of murders being committed with some sort of gun.

That figure has been slowly inching up over the past several years, Asher said, but he said 2020 is the first time that figure has eclipsed 75 percent.

The FBI report does not delve into reasons behind the increase or decrease in various crimes. But researchers say a range of factors contribute to annual variations, and the turmoil of 2020 — including the coronavirus pandemic and the fallout from George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis by police — likely played a role.

30% increase from 2019. The largest increase ever since they began keeping track in the 1960s. Also, the murders disproportionately affected small cities and suburbs. Large cities went from 13% of the nations murders to only 4%.
 
Murder, heart disease, cancer and suicide are all up.

The resident liberals told me this doesn’t matter. So fuck off
 
Everything worked as planned. The globalists fabricated a virus in lab to shut down society. Destroyed jobs which gave people in cities less time working and more time to get in trouble. Couple that with the globalist Marxists stirring up racial tensions with Black Lives Matter the organization and this is what you got. Everything worked as planned to help destroy society

The Marxist globalists are good at creating problems and then claiming they have the solution to the problems they helped create. This is how you get to communism and authoritarian governments.

Anyone have the link to the original video on YouTube from which this girl became the SJW meme?
I know there is one and it’s even been discussed on here, but I can’t seem to find it.
Would be appreciated.

Finally, his evil master plan is coming together.
 
But sherdog told me Liberal cities were anarchistic murder traps
That’s exactly what’s going on here, the article refers to big cities as mammoths like NYC and LA which contributed historically to the murder rate overall

Instead NYC, LA, and Chicago feeding into it, places like Minneapolis, Seattle, and Baltimore are contributing to it. I haven’t seen stats, but I bet St. Louis and Detroit are making huge contributions too.

It in the title he says big cities have gone down, either way we are contributing this to liberal policies or BLM? Is that the point? Not the guns which is mentioned in the article, or that everyone seems to be turnt up to 11 because of social media.
