Notes from the Resistance
Chicago shootings: At least 43 shot, 7 fatally, in Labor Day weekend gun violence, police say [More]
Note the url says “32 shot,” and we still have today to get through.
Forget it, Jake, it’s Chi-Town.
Pritzker and Johnson, of course, say they got this.
If Trump does deploy the National Guard, I hope “law and order ” Republicans don’t sacrifice liberty for the illusion of safety.
@MayorBMScott has gotten no where near the credit he deserves for helping lead Baltimore to a record low in gun violence. He’s leading the way and there’s lots to learn from how Baltimore achieved this. [More]
What did he actually do and what’s the methodology used to determine effects? Otherwise, this is just more correlation ≠ causation BS to plant a meme in what passes for minds of the gullible.
That and the year ain’t over yet.

Aside from career crimes and gang related activities, 0.004% of households with guns are involved in gun homicides. [More]
Gosh… it’s almost like all those “commonsense gun safety” advocates are nothing but agenda-driven LIARS…
Murders by Weapon Type: September 2024 Statistics [More]
I’d change the preposition to “with,” and then ask how many using firearms were committed by people breaking laws by having them…
I also note this appears to address “homicides,” which aren’t always unjustified, and presumably include suicides.
A release from Mayor Jones is touting a 15% reduction in overall crime in the city of St. Louis last year compared to 2023. Jones says the 150 homicides in the city last year were the lowest number of murders in the city of St. Louis since 2013, and represents a 43% decrease during her administration. [More]
Now prove a direct correlation between that and anything she did, as opposed to that’s just the way it worked out and a rise can come at any time.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has been trumpeting his police department’s homicide clearance rate of nearly 54%, the highest level in recent years. But a deeper dive into the data shows only a fraction of those “solved” murder cases have resulted in an actual arrest or charges… [More]
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

The FBI’s Biden-Era Murder Estimates Are Far Below the Number of Homicides Recorded on Death Certificates [More]
I see government is applying the same meticulous standards it has to keeping track of illegal alien kids, and all those firearms and devices on the NFRTR…

For example, by examining homicide rates by state from 2012 to 2022, it can be seen that rates have increased almost across the board. That said, they are still lower than rates seen in the 1980s and 1990s. [More]
Don’t examine by states. The problem lies within known areas.
