Crime is sky-rocketing in New York City. As assessment written recently put it like this:
The city logged 125 shootings in the first three weeks of the month, more than double the number recorded over the same period last year, police data show. Gunmen opened fire during house parties, barbecues and dice games, and carried out coldly calculated street executions.
More than a dozen people have been fatally shot, including a teenager at her college graduation party and a clothing designer who was washing his car. “You have to go back to 1996 to have a worse start of June,” Michael LiPetri, the chief of crime control strategies, said in an interview on Monday.
The city is not alone. Shootings are on the rise in other big cities across the country, including Chicago and Minneapolis, a trend that some conservatives have seized on to argue against the recent demands of protesters to cut police budgets and rein in officers.
The crime rates in the country are also increasing, especially near cities.
Nationally, homicide rates were already rising in 64 large American cities for the first three months of 2020 over the previous three years, but on average the pandemic caused them to stall briefly, before ticking up again in May, said Richard Rosenfeld, a criminologist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Rosenfeld is also a co-author of a study about homicide rates during the pandemic to be released Thursday by Arnold Ventures, a philanthropy focused on criminal justice and other issues.
“I have been studying this for a long time. I have never seen that much of an increase ever,” said Christopher Herrmann, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice who once analyzed crime statistics for the New York City Police Department.
One of the nonprofits in Brownsville was scrambling on Monday to figure out why a 46-year-old man was killed and who might want to retaliate. Anthony Newerls, the program director at Brownsville In, Violence Out, said it was the second fatal shooting in the neighborhood in 10 days. “We are completely overwhelmed,” he said.
What do you think is coming in these cities?

When law enforcement is hand cuffed, there is no law. What can we expect ,,, vigilantes law?
It’s going to get closer to the liberal neighborhoods soon and then they and their families and friends will see that without POLICE the criminal wolves will attack the unprotected sheeple and feast on their blood!!! I don’t know why they think they can’t be touched, they are smiling at the Chaos now but when it gets to their families areas then the smiles will fade and the terror will be real!!! I have heard liberals are buying guns and are pissed because they have to wait 10 days or more to get their guns, guess what idiots you voted… Read more »

The Democrats call it ‘Utopia’. The definition of ‘Utopia’? It means a place that does not exist. Where does the term come from? Drugs.
If the police force and their authority diminishes then NY city will devolve into tribal warlord control. Who in the hell wants to visit a 3rd world like that of the soon to be renamed 3rd world “Rotten Apple”.
I think if you defund police departments we will evolve into a lawless society of serious problems with crime, murders and anarchy!!!!
These people are flat out FOOLS!!! It’s time to vote these idiots out and put an end to these so called “protests” or the real truth is RIOTS going on nightly. This crap needs to end ASAP. I’ve heard many foolish things in my 53 years of life, but this is the most idiotic things I’ve ever seen or heard ever. You fools running these BLM riots every night need to pump the brakes ASAP. You all are becoming animals and seem to have no interest in doing anything but be violent. Many are fed up and will start fighting… Read more »
I have been saying all along that the NYPD should just walk off of the job – Blue Flu – whatever. In a very short amount of time the citizens of NYC will be begging them to come back at probably twice the pay – we may even see the citizens show up at the NYPD with Cuomo and deBlasio’s heads on a pike.
most of these cities are controlled by democrats,vote them out in November,they support all this crime
So what did the elected “Leadership” (snark) expect when you reduce police funding and personnel without a plan? Everyone to sit around and sing Kumbya or Imagine? The community “policing” idea has some merit but it is an idea that requires a serious and well thought out plan with input and responsibility shared by city government and the communities. It is a little like what happen in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the THUGS took over because the people had little to no idea as to how FREEDOM actually works. In short, we will be watching as… Read more »
The Fox is guarding the hen house. Can the people be that stupid? I guess they are because they elected their governor, the NYC mayor and AOC to Congress.
