Trump's lie du jour - murder rate "highest it's been in 47 years"

yes the hood is not hard to spot there, Baltimore either

Not surprising it's spilled into Baltimore. Depending the route taken, it's somewhere between 40 - 45 mile from one to the other. When the clientele in the hood portion of D.C. and Baltimore have a thug mentality, it spreads easily to areas where it's welcome. On the other side of things, despite the government portion of D.C. being much closer to the hood than Baltimore, it's easy to understand why the thug mentality hasn't spread there.

It's the same with the rioters. That mentality spreads but it spread to other areas with that rioting mentality. It doesn't spread to areas that don't tolerate it. We've had BLM protests in the incorporated/municipal areas of the County where I live. Interesting part is those protestors/rioters haven't found their way outside of those protected enclaves. I don't wonder why. Do you?
 
With the strict gun laws, shouldn't it be much lower than it is? That's what the lefties tell us strict gun laws will do.

Relevance?

Trump overstated the number because he wants an excuse to use the police aggressively not because he is looking to extend second amendment rights.

BTW, the group he was talking to(Major Cities Chiefs Association) is a regular supporter of gun control laws.

You're the one that stated Chicago's murder rate is not low. If strict gun laws are supposed to lower gun murders, why does a location with strict guns laws continue to have a gun murder rate that climbs significantly year after year?

I did not make that second assertion. Can you stay on topic?

Why was Trump lying about the murder rate to a bunch of gun grabbers?
 
He'd still be wrong. The murder rate has seen a significant rise in some cities but that increase is from a historically low rate and remains historically low.

Trump is just looking for excuses to create a police state.

we wouldn't want that......much better if the gangs suppress the ghettos and keep mortality rates high......after all, they're Democrats.......

Never said you did but that assertion has been made by many. That's why I asked a question using that assertion. Are you saying strict gun laws don't work?
 
In 2016 4,367 shootings. 672 deaths by shootings. It is appalling that many shots required for that many kills. Fucking neophytes. Chicago should invest in after school shooting range programs.
