I’m shocked that they’re even allowed to compile this data. Some interesting questions do arise from it.
Where’s the rest of the chart? Would be really eye opening if they did one for cities such as Baltimore, Detroit, Milwaukee, East St Louis, Chicago, etc.
Grew up in a city named Pine Bluff Arkansas. Population was 57,000 back then. 81% black. We were number one in the nation for many many years for violent crimes and homicides, but for cities of 100,000-400,000!
That population is now 83% and down to a little over 40,000.
During the 20 years I spent globetrotting courtesy of the Marine Corps, when we would go back and visit we always heard that the problems in the city were “White Flight”. Never blacks, or guns, or black guns.
The night my mom and I were attacked and robbed in a laundromat it was with a lead pipe. So you can’t always blame it on the gun.
