The eleven counties in the US with the highest number of homicides are (in order from most to least):
- Chicago (Cook County)
- Los Angeles
- Harris County (Houston)
- Philadelphia
- New York City (all 5 boroughs)
- Wayne County (Detroit)
- Shelby County (Memphis)
- Maricopa (Phoenix)
- Baltimore
- Dallas
- Marion County (Indianapolis)
Those eleven counties had a total of 4,758 of the 21,570 homicides in the US during the year 2020. Those eleven cities saw 22% of all US homicides that year, despite the fact that they contain only 41.7 million people, or about 12% of the US population. Those eleven cities have a homicide rate of 11.4 per 100,000. The only thing that shocked me about this was that St. Louis and New Orleans weren’t in this list.
In fact, diving in deeper, there are 31 counties where 42% of US homicides take place. The most violent 62 counties (2% of the counties in the nation) contain 25% of the US population, but represent 52% of all US homicides.
Contrast that with the 1634 counties who had zero homicides in 2020, plus the 502 counties that only had a single homicide, and you have 502 homicides out of a population of 32 million people, a homicide rate of 1.52 per 100,000. That’s right- 18% of the nation (60 million people or so) lives in a county with no more than a single homicide.
The part that doesn’t surprise me was, when I tried to analyze these homicide stats in comparison to the racial makeup of those counties, there was no information publicly available. Since we already know that more than half of all homicides are committed by blacks, it is not surprising that those stats would be hidden, and I am sure that it isn’t Asian software engineers or Amish farmers who are committing the murders in this country.

When I meet and talk with normies and NPC’s, I always find it fascinating how staggeringly ignorant they are. If you happen across one with half a brain that can generate a cogent argument, they completely fall apart when challenged with facts. Invariably their premise is based on a fake or falsified talking point (aka crime statistics). When you challenge them with ‘how many FBI and police statistics are proven to be falsified?’ and present them with screenshots showing obviously black and hispanic arrestee’s characterized as ‘white’ in their arrest records, they simply fall apart. They will accuse YOU of misrepresenting facts.
Why did I take the time to explain this long-winded diatribe? We The People are arguing over topics that have been adulterated and skewed (by the powes that be). If the person who’s railing against ICE enforcement saw the ACTUAL statistics, would they feel the same way? Or have they been brainwashed by a government propaganda program?
How do you fight back against that? The person being manipulated isn’t your enemy, they are the victim of your shared enemy. The fight should be convincing the rube of who the real enemy is.
We don’t need to fight against (all the) leftists, we need to show them they’ve been cheated and lied to. If the tranny hadn’t been told that men could have babies, would they still be a tranny? Probably, but you see my point? We should be investing in exposing the shared enemy, than against our fellow Americans.

Best wishes with that “We don’t need to fight against (all the) leftists, we need to show them they’ve been cheated and lied to. ” concept JB.
History dictates otherwise.
In Mark Twain’s 1906 autobiographical – “How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!”.
In Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf – that large-scale lies are more believable because people cannot imagine others fabricating such colossal falsehoods.
In a 1943 OSS report – described Hitler’s belief that people are more likely to believe big lies than small ones.
What must be overcome to accomplish someone changing their mind?? Cognitive Dissonance and Ego Defense, Confirmation Bias and Social Reinforcement, Illusory Truth Effect and Repetition, Effort and Belief Formation, among others.
We are a fallen world. It doesn’t mean I don’t try to impact my little part of it (the swept sidewalk concept). I know eating a dozen donuts is inherently bad for me, yet I still get tempted. I see many patients who still eat trash, then complain because they’re morbidly obese and want me to write a prescription (I get a solid NO everytime I suggest the simple things, like stop eating trash, and no, I don’t write the prescription).
I do the best I can where I’m at. For me, that means teaching my grandkids how to critically think (NOT WHAT to think but HOW); to look 20 years into the future; to set goals, and to work towards them; to ignore all the chatter; to be themselves, that their ancestors struggled, fought and died to give them the opportunity of today; that they will fail, get back up and go again, with lessons learned; to reflect on their actions and what might have made a better choice; to respect everyone they meet but still have a plan on how to k them; to never turn their back on someone not trusted; to forego today’s pleasure is required for “being smart”; and many others.
Best wishes…….

I maintain this blog for two reasons:
1 Talking is more preferable than shooting. Charlie Kirk was correct when he said that people who aren’t debating will soon turn to violence.
2 I am not here to convince the hard core leftist that they are wrong- those people are lost souls. This blog is here to perhaps convince those who are truly looking into which side has the best ideas. If I can turn a few of them to my side, then my side is made stronger. Even if they DON’T turn to my side, maybe they don’t slide over to the other side, and my enemies are made weaker.
Once the time for talking is over, the time for fighting is here. I want to enjoy my older years and enjoy all that I have earned and worked for. I don’t want to see all of that lost to a cause that is doomed to fail in the end. So we talk, we persuade, we hold a dialog to the greatest extent possible.
Violence is a last resort, not because violence is wrong, but because when we reduce this disagreement to violence, we destroy the very things we seek to defend.

I’m starting to wonder if the hard core left and the NPCs that get angry when their world view is challenged actually have souls. They seem to be empty vessels that are filled by whatever narrative of the moment they are told and just parrot it back. There is no sign that they have the capacity for critical thinking and questioning what happens around them. I have a feeling that we may reach critical mass on the violence part in the next year.

Does not get said enough,but Thank you for keeping dialogue going

Live in one of the counties surrounding Indianapolis, Indiana.
It’s bad in the downtown area of Marion County. Per capita our murder rate is; Chicago level.
Moved here almost 30 years ago. Wife, from a small town in western Kentucky, was enthralled by all of the opportunities, culture, dining, sporting events (Indianapolis hosted the 2006 Super Bowl) the city offered. We enjoyed them until it all changed with the election of democratic mayor Joe Hogsett. Three terms, the city is not safe, the roads are trash. So we do.not go downtown anymore. A damn shame. One more reason to despise liberals, and Democrats.

For Chicago stats, http://www.heyjackass.com can not be beat.

I applaud anyone who continues to try, but I have stopped debating these morons when they signaled that they don’t want debate, by killing the nice guy who was trying to debate.
I see it personally in the cities I have to travel too. What they want is violence and war. Sooner or later someone is going to give it to them, they will then demand that it stop, but it will fall on deaf ears. Hope to hell I don’t have to be carrying a rifle on a daily basis in my ‘golden years’.

Don’t forget that back in 2005 Harris County (Houston) had to adsorb a large number of the 13% who fled New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina came to town. Those refugees then settled in Houston permanently and we’re still dealing with the fall-out. So, New Orleans crime rate decreases and the Houston area crime rate increases. At this point we’re into the second generation of those refugees. We’ve also had a large influx of illegals thanks to the Biden era. Double whammy.

Albuquerque has a smaller population (~700k) but a comparable homicide rate to some of the larger cities. Here the large “minority” is brown rather than black, with a large number of immi-vaders.

Huh.
Any way the criminals from the top 5 or 6 could be relocated to the Virginia and Maryland suburbs around DC?
