I’ve been harping on how the Left’s war on Hydroxychloroquine resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths. If you can’t or won’t buy into that malfeasance, how about this? Democrat-run cities are seeing crime and murder rates skyrocket as a direct result of their decisions and policies.

“An analysis by the Wall Street Journal, which was published on Sunday, showed that homicides, shootings, and gun violence in the 50 largest cities rose in 2020, with murders, in particular increasing by 24% so far this year, to 3,612. Thirty-six of the 50 cities have experienced at least a 10% rise in homicides,” reports the Washington Examiner.
If you wonder why that is, then you might be a Democrat.

Most of these cities are not only strict about private gun ownership; the act of self-defense is frowned upon. You are as likely to get arrested protecting yourself or your property as the criminal(s) who attacked you.
Don’t defend yourself that is what the police are for…but, but, they hate the police, you say. Democrats in big cities are defunding them, refusing to support them, backing those attacking them.
They are, and what happens when law enforcement recedes in big Democrat cities filled with armed criminals (many just let out of jail by Democrats) and unarmed law-abiding citizens? Crime spikes.
Chicago, the city with the most number of homicides, is averaging one about every eight nights. The total number of murders in the city in July climbed 139% compared to the same month in 2019. There were 105 homicides in July compared to 44 in the previous year, and the city is up 51% from the same point last year.
I know, I said it was a curve but it’s actually more like a hockey stick.
More dead Americans, living in the shadow of another Democrat urban experiment. Anti-social engineering. And as with all Democrat Party experiments, the majority of victims are minorities (more recently) spurred on by a group of political Marxists (BLM) who happen to use race as a wedge to advance socialism. A political system that ends with a well-to-do ruling class, and everyone else at the bottom fighting for table-scraps.
If it helps (it won’t), the police state that will rise to protect the tyranny of that system will brook no funny business, but it will also corner the market on murder.
Ironic, isn’t it? They’ve already done that.
