A friend asked how many incremental deaths have there been due to the Floyd Effect? 3,000?
Nah, it’s more like 36,000 according to a simplistic methodology that takes CDC death counts for homicides and motor vehicle accidents for the years 2020-2022 and compares them them to how many there would have been if the average of 2018-19 had been maintained for the first three years of the 2020s. I come up with 2020 to 2022 having seen 36,042 additional Deaths of Exuberance (killings and car crashes) than if the death toll had stayed at the same annual rate as in 2018-2019.
That’s a pretty big number.
These 36,000 incremental deaths are divided pretty equally into extra homicides and extra traffic fatalities. And they are are about equally split into incremental black deaths and incremental all other deaths.

Second, I didn’t bother adjusting for the modest population change during these years.
Third, the Floyd Effect didn’t begin on January 1, 2020, like I assume, but on May 25, 2020. Motor vehicle accident deaths weren’t up much in 2020 compared to previous years before Floyd Day. But black homicide deaths, after falling quite a bit in 2018 with the end of the Ferguson Effect under the Sessions Justice Department, began to creep upward again partway through 2019 and were rising in early 2020 before covid and also during early covid, before exploding in the last week of May during the first of the Mostly Peaceful Protests.
But graphing weekly data of black deaths, there’s no doubt that the Floyd Effect is closely linked to the demise of George Floyd and the subsequent cultural revolution. As you may recall, the “racial reckoning” was in all the papers at the time.
So, the fairest estimate of incremental deaths due to the Floyd Effect in 2020-2022 might be “approaching 35,000.” The Floyd Effect is no doubt continuing to pile up more incremental deaths in 2023, although homicides appear to be dropping (but are still well above the 2018-2019 rate).
Approaching 35,000 is quite a few deaths, especially among fairly young people with a lot of life expectancy left. It’s very similar to American deaths in the Korean War of 36,516, and more than five times the total deaths in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars combined.
[Note: In CDC data, “homicides” refer to homicide victimizations not homicide perpetrations.]

Don’t expect the left to abandon the “summer of Floyd ” strategy because there are most deaths.
Meanwhile, US opioid deaths approaching 100,000 per year, disproportionately younger people.
More than 70,000 incremental deaths per year since 2000, mostly younger people.

Took one of the pills he gave me . It was hydocodone , not sure of the milligrams . Anyway about 30 minutes later I had no pain and was feeling a ok , know what I mean?
Dentist only gave me ten of them . I can’t imagine a Doctor handing out Oxy for minor things as they do . I won’t lie , I felt perfect that night . Complete bliss .

Not a guy "in the know" on anything drug related. (Nothing more than the occasional adult beverage in decades.) My impression is some dealers love putting fentanyl in everything because it boosts the effect, is so addictive and has the customer running back for more.
I wouldn't trust weed to be just weed. Or really anything off the street. I'm guessing there have been more than few OD's on "weed" now.Replies: @Muggles
Blondie, same paragraph—“I took that shit, it worked as advertised, and I didn’t get addicted”
Interesting. Will they next be splitting out Fancy Asians from Jungle Asians?
The change basically seems to be for the purpose of creating yet another group, Pacific Islanders, that is eligible for AA handouts, since Pacific Islanders don’t do all that well on most social metrics. My state has a lot of Pacific Islanders – more by % than every state except Hawaii, thanks to Mormon missionaries – and their educational attainment is relatively low and their crime rate is quite high (though not nearly as high as blacks).
So the Census separates Pac Islanders from other Asians, but doesn’t separate Jews from other whites. So there ya go.
So almost 4,400 more blacks were murdered in 2021 than in 2019. For anyone keeping score, that’s more than most estimates of the number of blacks lynched in the USA from 1880-present. George Floyd and BLM got far more blacks killed in a single year than have been lynched by whites in the last 140 years. Well done.
Now there are certainly good reasons to argue that a lynching is worse than other kinds of murder, for reasons. I would probably agree with a lot of those reasons. But if your goal is just to actually save black lives, the politicizing of George Floyd’s overdose death was quite a bust.
Considering how large the effect is and that it is practically a step function response to the Day of Floyd, it is amazing that the MSM has succeeded in keeping this stark reality hidden from the average lemming. Truly a testament to the power of monolithic media control in shaping public perceptions and, therefore, opinion. This illustrates the true nature of “democracy.” It is nothing more than rule by a few hundred malevolent media controllers who mostly come from the same ethnic and cultural background. Along with their deracinated willing accomplices among the idiot-Woke.

Wait, say that one part again?
“I have a real hard time believing Pelosi keeps getting elected year after year without cheating.”
Really?
That figure is approximately one in a thousand black Americans. But how does it break down by age and sex?
Talk about “fairly young people with a lot of life expectancy left”! Fairly young men.
Jared Taylor once worked out that a teenage male urban American black was 777 times as likely to be murdered as an elderly woman in rural Austria. Just multiply the demographic gaps.
So you left out the growing multiracial category entirely?
Did exuberance explode before or after the police retreated? I’m thinking that if they had suppressed the worst riots in June 2020, that could have lowered the numbers nationally. Have you graphed donut sales?
I saw two city firemen yesterday that only a chubby-chaser would want on a calendar.
Excess deaths were due to the lockdowns. The Floyd riots were one result of the lockdowns, thus the increase in homicides is mostly due to the lockdowns which resulted in civil unrest when millions of Americans lost their jobs and the churches, schools and businesses were shuttered. While social gatherings were outlawed with the sole exception of BLM protests. The resulting riots were the result of the lockdowns. Without the lockdowns the Floyd protests never spread beyond Minnesota, would have been a Ferguson effect in Minneapolis instead of rioting across hundreds of cities.
So, the incremental effect of the Black Lives Matter movement just since 2020 has killed more black people every year than have whites in 115 years of lynching.
Over three years, the number of excess deaths has reached 17.7 kiloTills.
Astonishing.
50,000 suicides last year. and going up.
wonder what Angus Deaton is up to.
One junky dying under a white cop’s knee is a tragedy but 35,000 incremental homicides is a statistic — Josef Visarianovich Djugashvili.
Reason 85 in why “lockdowns” were a bad idea – they paved the way for this. The governor of New Mexico suspends 2nd amendment rights under a “public health emergency” order
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham stated: “Today I issued a 30-day ban on the open & concealed carrying of guns in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Gun violence is killing between 2 and 3 children* every month in NM – every single one of these deaths is unconscionable and they must stop.”
30 days to flatten the curve of “gun violence”. If governments can get away with infringing your rights under the guise of a “public health emergency”, then eventually they will declare everything to be a “public health emergency”. Coming soon to a jurisdiction near you: climate crisis public health emergencies and climate lockdowns.
*She of course says she is doing it for “the children”, the implication being that 2nd graders are getting shot right and left in the Land of Enchantment. But how much do you want to bet that the “children” she is referring to are actually 17 and 18 year old gang-bangers? Some one should ask her: Hey, Gov, how many of those “children” had neck tattoos”?
Her family is knee deep in politics and she was unhappy that she didn't score a Biden cabinet position.
Her COVID lock-down was one of the worst in the nation, forcing those who could to go to Texas to buy groceries.
Another beneficiary of the One Party Democrat controlled politics, like many of the other hellholes.
Of course her Imperial Decree won't stand up to legal scrutiny the first time it is challenged in court. But that doesn't matter to her. It is all about "optics" for her career as Czarina of NM.
Politics is not science. When 3,000 people were killed by Saudi Arabians, we declared war on Afghanistan and Iran. When 2,000,000 people are killed by Fentanyl (and 1,000,000 + by Covid) from PRC, we say relations between U.S. and PRC is the most important relationship. They are our Most Favored Nation for imports and investments.
Well, if magnitude of harm drove political interest Steve (and everyone else) would be spending their time figuring out why excess deaths are up 8% in the U.S. and by similar rates in all the "advanced" countries.
Coincidentally, the phenomenon is limited to countries that mass vaxxed with the experimental, non-safety tested mrna treatment. And coincidentally, the excess deaths are largely due to inflamatory organ damage that is a known side effect of the mrna. But who cares about a couple million people dying? A few thousand blacks criminals were murdered by other black criminals!
The guy who is entitled to be frustrated is Dr. John Campbell. He started out as a pro-covid alarmist. But unlike most people he stayed true to analyzing the data. And now he's practically begging people to notice the Data Elephant.

Tjhe overwhelming majority of blacks who were lynched in the deep south were guilty of rape and/or murder. The lynching of murderers and rapists was worse than murder and rape?

I have seen no such reports. I'm not even sure fentanyl can be smoked.
A lot of MJ is now legal or obtained from legal sources.
It would probably be noticeable to users if a powered substance was added.
Most fentanyl is now used by former heroin addicts or added to various other pill form illegal drugs.
It is highly dangerous to handle so I've read, so dosing low cost weed doesn't seem to make much economic sense. Also, opiates work differently than THC. Of course some users might mix them in use but probably not for long.Replies: @AnotherDad

Blondie, same paragraph—“I took that shit, it worked as advertised, and I didn’t get addicted”
Just to keep perspective, the real national disaster of the last few years is not the Floyd Effect–though having a decent person run over or take an errant bullet from some numskull is a tragedy–nor even the opioid crisis.
It’s the “Biden” Adminstration open border attack on America. Truth is we all die eventually. But people have this funny habit of reproducing, so people waved in are not just your new “neighbors” but the “fellow citizens” your posterity has to share the nation with … forever.
Saw on my news feed that NYC mayor Eric Adams is hollering about it. His ire was directed at Greg Abbott busing people up there. But he was whining about the policy in general as well. Turns out an open border isn’t real compatible with the Parasite Party’s “give everyone free stuff” program. More and more people show up for the “free” stuff and soon enough you don’t have enough taxpayer money to splash around for your the other parasites you’re feeding.
Maybe by election day the backlash will have blown up enough to make a difference. This keeps up, America will be dead before I even get around to dying.
This NM female Hispanic governor is one of the worst in the nation.
Her family is knee deep in politics and she was unhappy that she didn’t score a Biden cabinet position.
Her COVID lock-down was one of the worst in the nation, forcing those who could to go to Texas to buy groceries.
Another beneficiary of the One Party Democrat controlled politics, like many of the other hellholes.
Of course her Imperial Decree won’t stand up to legal scrutiny the first time it is challenged in court. But that doesn’t matter to her. It is all about “optics” for her career as Czarina of NM.
Not a guy "in the know" on anything drug related. (Nothing more than the occasional adult beverage in decades.) My impression is some dealers love putting fentanyl in everything because it boosts the effect, is so addictive and has the customer running back for more.
I wouldn't trust weed to be just weed. Or really anything off the street. I'm guessing there have been more than few OD's on "weed" now.Replies: @Muggles
Yes, you are guessing.
I have seen no such reports. I’m not even sure fentanyl can be smoked.
A lot of MJ is now legal or obtained from legal sources.
It would probably be noticeable to users if a powered substance was added.
Most fentanyl is now used by former heroin addicts or added to various other pill form illegal drugs.
It is highly dangerous to handle so I’ve read, so dosing low cost weed doesn’t seem to make much economic sense. Also, opiates work differently than THC. Of course some users might mix them in use but probably not for long.
Yeah, after your comment I went to the Internet--should have done that first--and searched around. There was one OD where it at least seemed to be the case and maybe a few others. But mostly fentanyl spiked weed seems to be a police department propaganda deal--with maybe some journalist "get eyeballs!" hyping as well.
(It would be nice if it did scare people off weed. It's everywhere now and really sick of smelling the stuff. Separate weed/no-weed communities--as with so much else--would be great.)Replies: @DCThrowback
This is the plain and simple truth. Whatever validity there is behind Sailer’s dubious “discovery” of the Floyd Effect (and there isn’t much), it is all a derivative of the Covid tyranny. But Steve has an HBD audience to please, so he’s going to keep plugging away at this crap. He’s teeing it up to be the capstone of his career, which I suppose is just as it should be. I couldn’t think of a more fitting nothingburger.

Murdering, you meant to say. A jury convicted them based on the evidence. Let’s try an experiment—have a cop put their knee on your neck for over nine minutes. You know, in the exact same manner as those police officers.

Look all the hubbub around George Floyd's OD. And he was just one guy!Replies: @Almost Missouri
Lol.
Okay, that was funny. But seriously, it’s funny (in a different sense of that word) that four men were prosecuted and imprisoned for “killing” the one man, George Floyd, even though they didn’t give him the fatal overdose, while those who really did arrange the fatal overdoses for hundreds of thousands—maybe a million—have done no jail time at all. And no one who matters even thinks they should.
Each of the convictions invalidates the other two ergo there's a 66% preponderance on non-guilt on each charge, let alone beyond reasonable doubt.
Indeed. Steve’s recent article about how Burning Man moved 350 miles away from where it was founded simply to make it harder for black people to reach (rural Marin County, five miles away from SF, would have sufficed for that), and the present logistical troubles at Burning Man 2023 didn’t descend into cannibalism solely because of no black people present, was about the most “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” thing ever. More specialized than that, in fact : “When all you have is an obsolete Antminer Bitcoin miner of no further use, everything looks like 2015 Bitcoin mining.”
But I feel bad for Steve, as he is catering to just about the least likely to donate subdemographic of a subdemographic ever. Ron Unz’s supervisors have unlimited budget (given the true purpose of this website), so Ron’s supervisors should pay Steve more.
I have long been the only one demanding that Ron’s supervisors pay Steve more.
I am reminded of a earlier incident where a lady was speeding in her unregistered cars with her kids and herself not wearing seat belts and passing vehicles by using the breakdown lane, She crashed and killed everyone on board and the newspapers' response is we should pass more laws to prevent this kind of thing.

Driving two or more cars simultaneously is fraught with danger even without passing other cars, I imagine.
Yeah, not only were most lynch law “victims” guilty of serious crimes, many of the putative lynchings didn’t go through the formality of actually happening. And of those that did happen, many were lynchings of whites. And some lynchings were done by blacks. Or suicides.
Even before the George Floyd riots, blacks were killing more non-blacks every year than innocent blacks died in the entire 1865-1968 history of “lynching”.
The purpose of of all the modern lynching propaganda is not to inform, rather it is to

Another 140000 will die from booze .
Guns are the problem ? Sure they are , it’s the only thing we have to protect ourselves from the tyranny we call our Government. Would our guns be useful against our Military , you know the Gubmint? Well I don’t know the answer to that but leftist sure think they’re a problem , and it’s not because blacks shoot the hell out of each other .
Ever so slowly the left is losing the argument, gun sales prove it . Ammo shortages prove it . Now if we can just stop them from stealing elections . I have a real hard time believing Pelosi keeps getting elected year after year without cheating .
I will vote for no one who wants any form of gun control. The only candidate so far that is saying the right things about 2A is the Indian Vivek. Pretty pathetic imo that we can’t get a white candidate to say it . Trump buckled with the bump stock ban. Not that I ever owned one but it just gave them more excuses to arrest American Citizens .

I guess everybody else they elect is a sage paragon.
They were convicted of three homicides: Murder, voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.

“Second, I didn’t bother adjusting for the modest population change during these years.”
You mean the modest population increase during those years.
Imagine, if you will, a pandemic so deadly that a nation’s population modestly increases instead of decreasing.

Ain’t that the truth. Steve acts frustrated that no one is excited about his pet observation that a few extra blacks are killing each other. “OMG, about 12K per year extra deaths in a country of 330 million, where is the outrage!”
Well, if magnitude of harm drove political interest Steve (and everyone else) would be spending their time figuring out why excess deaths are up 8% in the U.S. and by similar rates in all the “advanced” countries.
Coincidentally, the phenomenon is limited to countries that mass vaxxed with the experimental, non-safety tested mrna treatment. And coincidentally, the excess deaths are largely due to inflamatory organ damage that is a known side effect of the mrna. But who cares about a couple million people dying? A few thousand blacks criminals were murdered by other black criminals!
The guy who is entitled to be frustrated is Dr. John Campbell. He started out as a pro-covid alarmist. But unlike most people he stayed true to analyzing the data. And now he’s practically begging people to notice the Data Elephant.

The “Do Something!” impulse is deeply ingrained in our political psychology somehow, and it does an incredible amount of harm.
Indeed, it’s almost impossible for any public person to simply say “well, that was an unfortunate event, but humans can be kind of shitty and shit happens.”
Even alleged conservatives can’t resist the Do Something! imperative. They have to join the party by saying that we need to “do something” about mental health or strengthening family values or some claptrap.
I am surprised that Mr. Twinkacetti is not here to gloat about how Asians were able to avoid this entire effect (since the Asian population in America rose the fastest due to immigration, so the 9% rise is less of a gain per capita than the same 9% for whites), while no other group was so astute and forward-thinking as to manage that.
This is what he lives for, so his absence is surprising.

Alex Berenson’s book on weed lays out how weed is much stronger than the skunk that was smoked in the 70s and has led to higher psychosis and violent incidents among youths, especially black youths (hey, great!).

Before the test can we take psychosis-inducing illicit substances? It’s no fair to us that we have to it under sobreity and sanity.
The left needs shockingly large amounts of death so they can blame guns and racism and what not, to fund more ineffective programs.

Lol no. Only the US has the spike in homicides and car accidents coincidentally the week of Floyd, that nearly entirely are concentrated among African Americans. Other countries simply do not see this spike in homicides and traffic accidents, even ones with various crime prone African minorities.
