=== Rising Murder Rates (05:05) ===

[00:00:04]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:07]  The internet is making my videos almost impossible to find.
[00:00:11]  So, if you like what you see, I hope you'll send the link to all of your Democrat friends.
[00:00:17]  The year 2020 was famous for the biggest increase in murders ever recorded in the United States.
[00:00:24]  A 30% jump in a single year for a total of 21,570 murders.
[00:00:33]  Here are the numbers going back to 1990.
[00:00:36]  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.
[00:00:47]  In 2020, there were 611 mass shootings.
[00:00:50]  That's when four or more people stopped bullets in a single incident.
[00:00:55]  In the year before, there had been 417.
[00:00:59]  In 2020, For murders in which the race of the victim was reported, 55.8% were black.
[00:01:07]  Blacks are 13% of the population, but accounted for fully two-thirds of the increase in murder victims compared to 2019.
[00:01:17]  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.
[00:01:31]  2020, of course, was the year of Black Lives Matter.
[00:01:35]  And how many unarmed blacks were shot by the police in 2020?
[00:01:40]  You know, that terrible racist problem we have.
[00:01:43]  The Washington Post database reports that there were 18.
[00:01:48]  Was there another big increase in murders in 2021?
[00:01:52]  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.
[00:02:06]  At least 16 major cities set new all-time records in 2021.
[00:02:11]  That includes Indianapolis, Austin, Louisville, Baton Rouge, Columbus, and Philadelphia.
[00:02:18]  Here are the cities that had the highest murder rates in 2020.
[00:02:22]  That's St. Louis at the top, with 87.21 homicides per 100,000 population.
[00:02:30]  The national rate was 6.8 per 100,000.
[00:02:35]  Cities with lots of blacks tend to have a lot of murders, but the black death rate varies considerably.
[00:02:42]  In Portland, Blacks were killed at a rate of 100 per 100,000.
[00:02:47]  In Chicago, 77 per 100,000.
[00:02:50]  And 64 per 100,000 in Philadelphia.
[00:02:55]  The number of murders goes up and goes down, but the likelihood of your getting away with it keeps improving.
[00:03:02]  This is a graph of the clearance rate, or the percentage of murders that are solved, usually with an arrest.
[00:03:09]  In 1965, 90% of murder cases were solved.
[00:03:14]  Today, only 54%.
[00:03:17]  Murder is the crime the police try the hardest to solve.
[00:03:21]  Here is the trend in clearance rates for car theft.
[00:03:24]  If your car is stolen, there's only about a 1 in 10 chance there'll be an arrest.
[00:03:29]  When a black or Hispanic is killed, the crime is less likely to be solved.
[00:03:34]  Here are clearance rates by victim race.
[00:03:38]  These numbers are for the 10 years ending in 2018.
[00:03:43]  All rates are lower now, and the black-white gap is greater.
[00:03:49]  Someone who kills a black in the United States has a better than 50-50 chance of getting away with it.
[00:03:55]  In Baltimore in 2020, two out of three murderers got away with it.
[00:04:00]  Of course, this is our fault.
[00:04:03]  Vox explains how police racism in Baltimore made it harder for cops to catch murderers.
[00:04:10]  Except that it's hard to solve crimes when snitches get stitches.
[00:04:15]  Even with their dying breaths, gang members often won't tell police who shot them.
[00:04:21]  Gangs want revenge, not justice.
[00:04:25]  And it's a lot harder to solve a murder if the killer and victim don't know each other.
[00:04:30]  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.
[00:04:41]  The figure for whites, which follows the usual FBI stupidity of including Hispanics with whites, was 20 points lower at 54%.
[00:04:51]  Killings with a firearm are harder to solve than other methods of murder.

=== Fact Behind the Rise in Crime (05:45) ===

[00:04:56]  In 2020, using the same database, 86.2% of blacks were killed by firearm.
[00:05:03]  The figure for whites, again including Hispanics, was 65% or 21 points lower.
[00:05:10]  Vox tells us the problem is racism.
[00:05:13]  But back to the increase in murder.
[00:05:15]  What's causing it?
[00:05:17]  Let's start with what the complete idiots say.
[00:05:21]  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.
[00:05:34]  A congresswoman from Brooklyn explained the reason.
[00:05:38]  The fact that people are at a level of economic desperation that we have not seen since the Great Recession.
[00:05:45]  Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent.
[00:05:50]  And so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don't have money.
[00:05:57]  Maybe they're put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry that night.
[00:06:04]  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.
[00:06:13]  But the official smart money explanation for the rise in murder is COVID.
[00:06:18]  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.
[00:06:28]  His research focuses on evaluations of innovative crime control policies and justice programs.
[00:06:36]  Got that?
[00:06:37]  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
[00:06:53]  the camel's back.
[00:06:55]  George Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, says the problem is tension, political division, anger, and hate.
[00:07:04]  We're literally seeing it in front of our eyes, he says.
[00:07:08]  At school board meetings and public events.
[00:07:11]  You know, people pulling out their sick shooters at school board meetings.
[00:07:15]  These days, you have to go to foreign media to get common sense.
[00:07:19]  The Daily Mail explains that crime soars in Minneapolis as cops fear being unfairly targeted in woke viral videos.
[00:07:30]  Traffic stops down by 74% and problem area patrols by 76% in wake of George Floyd death and defund police movement.
[00:07:41]  More insight in a single British headline than from the goofs I just quoted.
[00:07:47]  Officers don't want to be the next guy to have his life ruined for doing his job.
[00:07:52]  Maybe after all the rioters and looters they caught in 2020 were turned loose, they said to themselves, why bother?
[00:08:00]  Maybe they got tired of being told that good cops are dead cops and all cops are bastards.
[00:08:07]  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.
[00:08:21]  Nobody's getting arrested anymore, retired New York City Police Department Detective Robert Boyce.
[00:08:28]  Complained. He went on to say people are getting picked up for gun possession and they're just let out over and over again.
[00:08:37]  Retired detectives can say these things.
[00:08:40]  The Police Executive Research Forum has a report that covers 2019 to 2020.
[00:08:46]  There was an 18% increase in outright resignations and a 45% increase in retirements from police departments.
[00:08:55]  The report says it was much harder to find new recruits.
[00:08:59]  Who wants to be an officer in a country like this?
[00:09:02]  In 2020, the number of arrests dropped 25% compared to the previous year, to the lowest number in 25 years.
[00:09:12]  And that was the year of the BLM riots.
[00:09:16]  I'll end with the latest horror story.
[00:09:18]  As usual, the Daily Mail covers a story that's too unimportant.
[00:09:23]  For the American prestige press.
[00:09:26]  Brianna Kupfer was working alone in a furniture store in Los Angeles.
[00:09:30]  Sean Smith ambled into the store, stabbed her to death, and calmly walked out.
[00:09:36]  He had dozens of arrests, including assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a stolen vehicle, and assaulting a police officer.
[00:09:45]  Here are some of his booking photos.
[00:09:47]  In 2019, he was arrested for firing into a car with a child in it.
[00:09:52]  But that crime got lost in the shuffle.
[00:09:54]  More recently, he was out on minimal bond for a possession of stolen goods charge that is 15 months old.
[00:10:03]  You see, Soros-backed Los Angeles DA, George Gascon, doesn't like to prosecute mere misdemeanors.
[00:10:11]  Press reports say the killing was random.
[00:10:15]  No way.
[00:10:16]  Sean Smith was desperate because of COVID.
[00:10:20]  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.

=== Podcasts Discussions (00:29) ===

[00:10:31]  So yes, 2021 will have seen a nice jump in murders, and 2022 is off to a good start as well.
[00:10:49]  You'll find videos, podcasts, discussions, many things that I suspect will interest you.
