I see. Then we had better ban guns, right? LOL So you are arguing that you have been lying on this board for years about declining crime and murder rates. OK. LOLLOL A whole bunch of Republicans are realizing how bad of a choice they made with the orange clown.
By the way, 2aguy, are you the liar, or is the orange clown the liar. Is crime increasing or decreasing in this nation. The clown said increasing by a very large amount, you said decreasing by a large amount. Now who is lying? And don't give me the shit that the clown was refering to a specific area, I saw the clown making the statement and it was general. So, are you a liar, or is the clown a liar?
Here you go moron...doing your research for you...this is what Trump was talking about....off the cuff....
The time period...46 years......that is what Trump was talking about, the fastest rise in violence in 46 years...
America's murder rate is rising at its fastest pace since the early 1970s
MURDER, which grew rarer for 20 years, is on the rise again.
But by how much? In 2015, the number of murders increased by 11% nationwide. During 2016, an escalation of gang violence in Chicago left 764 people dead in a city where 485 had been killed a year before. A dispute ensued over whether the Windy City was simply an isolated example or a barometer of a wider problem.
National statistics for 2016 will not be released for eight months, but to get an early sense of the answer The Economist has gathered murder statistics for 2016 for the 50 cities with the most murders.
These places contain 15% of the country’s population and around 36% of murder victims.
Our numbers show that, in 2016, murders increased in 34 of the cities we tracked.
Three cities experienced a spike in deaths sharper than the 58% suffered by Chicago. Since cities tend to reflect the country as a whole, this suggests that the murder rate is rising at its fastest pace since the early 1970s.
And this is the Ferguson effect......
