| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| The internet is making my videos almost impossible to find. | |
| So, if you like what you see, I hope you'll send the link to all of your Democrat friends. | |
| The year 2020 was famous for the biggest increase in murders ever recorded in the United States. | |
| A 30% jump in a single year for a total of 21,570 murders. | |
| Here are the numbers going back to 1990. | |
| You can see the increase in 2020, but the figure is still well below the all-time records from the early 1990s set during the crack epidemic. | |
| In 2020, there were 611 mass shootings. | |
| That's when four or more people stopped bullets in a single incident. | |
| In the year before, there had been 417. | |
| In 2020, For murders in which the race of the victim was reported, 55.8% were black. | |
| Blacks are 13% of the population, but accounted for fully two-thirds of the increase in murder victims compared to 2019. | |
| If you make a best guess for the victims whose race was not known or reported, there were probably about 3,400 more murdered black people in 2020 than in the year before. | |
| 2020, of course, was the year of Black Lives Matter. | |
| And how many unarmed blacks were shot by the police in 2020? | |
| You know, that terrible racist problem we have. | |
| The Washington Post database reports that there were 18. | |
| Was there another big increase in murders in 2021? | |
| We don't have final figures, but the Gun Violence Archive says we had another 1,289 killings compared to 2020 for what would be a 6.6% jump. | |
| At least 16 major cities set new all-time records in 2021. | |
| That includes Indianapolis, Austin, Louisville, Baton Rouge, Columbus, and Philadelphia. | |
| Here are the cities that had the highest murder rates in 2020. | |
| That's St. Louis at the top, with 87.21 homicides per 100,000 population. | |
| The national rate was 6.8 per 100,000. | |
| Cities with lots of blacks tend to have a lot of murders, but the black death rate varies considerably. | |
| In Portland, Blacks were killed at a rate of 100 per 100,000. | |
| In Chicago, 77 per 100,000. | |
| And 64 per 100,000 in Philadelphia. | |
| The number of murders goes up and goes down, but the likelihood of your getting away with it keeps improving. | |
| This is a graph of the clearance rate, or the percentage of murders that are solved, usually with an arrest. | |
| In 1965, 90% of murder cases were solved. | |
| Today, only 54%. | |
| Murder is the crime the police try the hardest to solve. | |
| Here is the trend in clearance rates for car theft. | |
| If your car is stolen, there's only about a 1 in 10 chance there'll be an arrest. | |
| When a black or Hispanic is killed, the crime is less likely to be solved. | |
| Here are clearance rates by victim race. | |
| These numbers are for the 10 years ending in 2018. | |
| All rates are lower now, and the black-white gap is greater. | |
| Someone who kills a black in the United States has a better than 50-50 chance of getting away with it. | |
| In Baltimore in 2020, two out of three murderers got away with it. | |
| Of course, this is our fault. | |
| Vox explains how police racism in Baltimore made it harder for cops to catch murderers. | |
| Except that it's hard to solve crimes when snitches get stitches. | |
| Even with their dying breaths, gang members often won't tell police who shot them. | |
| Gangs want revenge, not justice. | |
| And it's a lot harder to solve a murder if the killer and victim don't know each other. | |
| According to this tabulation of FBI data, E-Z-A-S-H-R, 74% of blacks were killed by a stranger or someone whose relationship was unknown. | |
| The figure for whites, which follows the usual FBI stupidity of including Hispanics with whites, was 20 points lower at 54%. | |
| Killings with a firearm are harder to solve than other methods of murder. | |
| In 2020, using the same database, 86.2% of blacks were killed by firearm. | |
| The figure for whites, again including Hispanics, was 65% or 21 points lower. | |
| Vox tells us the problem is racism. | |
| But back to the increase in murder. | |
| What's causing it? | |
| Let's start with what the complete idiots say. | |
| In 2020, at a time when New York City had seen a 63% increase in shooting victims, 27% more murders and 61% more car thefts over the previous year. | |
| A congresswoman from Brooklyn explained the reason. | |
| The fact that people are at a level of economic desperation that we have not seen since the Great Recession. | |
| Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent. | |
| And so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don't have money. | |
| Maybe they're put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry that night. | |
| This is the same lady who says, if we want to reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them. | |
| But the official smart money explanation for the rise in murder is COVID. | |
| This guy at the University of Chicago, John Roman, says, The overarching explanation for the increase in violence over the last two years is the pandemic. | |
| His research focuses on evaluations of innovative crime control policies and justice programs. | |
| Got that? | |
| innovative. Eddie Bocanegra of the Public Welfare Foundation runs an evidence-based and trauma-informed program to reduce gun violence and promote safety and opportunity, and he says, I think COVID was a straw that broke | |
| the camel's back. | |
| George Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, says the problem is tension, political division, anger, and hate. | |
| We're literally seeing it in front of our eyes, he says. | |
| At school board meetings and public events. | |
| You know, people pulling out their sick shooters at school board meetings. | |
| These days, you have to go to foreign media to get common sense. | |
| The Daily Mail explains that crime soars in Minneapolis as cops fear being unfairly targeted in woke viral videos. | |
| Traffic stops down by 74% and problem area patrols by 76% in wake of George Floyd death and defund police movement. | |
| More insight in a single British headline than from the goofs I just quoted. | |
| Officers don't want to be the next guy to have his life ruined for doing his job. | |
| Maybe after all the rioters and looters they caught in 2020 were turned loose, they said to themselves, why bother? | |
| Maybe they got tired of being told that good cops are dead cops and all cops are bastards. | |
| Maybe the rise in crime has something to do with Soros-backed prosecutors who got rid of bail, ordered an end to arrests for crimes of poverty, and preach restorative justice, whatever that is. | |
| Nobody's getting arrested anymore, retired New York City Police Department Detective Robert Boyce. | |
| Complained. He went on to say people are getting picked up for gun possession and they're just let out over and over again. | |
| Retired detectives can say these things. | |
| The Police Executive Research Forum has a report that covers 2019 to 2020. | |
| There was an 18% increase in outright resignations and a 45% increase in retirements from police departments. | |
| The report says it was much harder to find new recruits. | |
| Who wants to be an officer in a country like this? | |
| In 2020, the number of arrests dropped 25% compared to the previous year, to the lowest number in 25 years. | |
| And that was the year of the BLM riots. | |
| I'll end with the latest horror story. | |
| As usual, the Daily Mail covers a story that's too unimportant. | |
| For the American prestige press. | |
| Brianna Kupfer was working alone in a furniture store in Los Angeles. | |
| Sean Smith ambled into the store, stabbed her to death, and calmly walked out. | |
| He had dozens of arrests, including assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a stolen vehicle, and assaulting a police officer. | |
| Here are some of his booking photos. | |
| In 2019, he was arrested for firing into a car with a child in it. | |
| But that crime got lost in the shuffle. | |
| More recently, he was out on minimal bond for a possession of stolen goods charge that is 15 months old. | |
| You see, Soros-backed Los Angeles DA, George Gascon, doesn't like to prosecute mere misdemeanors. | |
| Press reports say the killing was random. | |
| No way. | |
| Sean Smith was desperate because of COVID. | |
| He was hoping to shoplift some bread so he could feed his wife and children, and became understandably angry when Breonna Cooper told him it was a furniture store. | |
| So yes, 2021 will have seen a nice jump in murders, and 2022 is off to a good start as well. | |
| You'll find videos, podcasts, discussions, many things that I suspect will interest you. |
