The CDC WONDER database releases provisional cause of death data with a six month lag, so we still don’t have good data for all of 2021 because December is missing much. So I’ve graphed homicide deaths up through November 2021:
Last year appears to have been a continuation of the post-George Floyd plateau: the new normal, as it were.

Can you do a graph for NYC?
Did the homicide rate go up there as much as the rest of the country?
How bout one for Hotlanta...
...cuz this is the ISteviest thing ever.

For racial crime stats, how does CDC WONDER compare to MAGIC NIBRS ?
These are absolute numbers, right? What would this look like when adjusted for percentage of total population?
When you say a six month lag – what do you mean by that – is that reflected in that graph or not? The graph shows an uptick in homicides in February 2020, about four months before the beginning of the Summer of George.
Thanks for this. A useful if somewhat obscure* antidote to the endless mass media quotations of crime rates comparing this year to last year.
We need to compare with 2019, which is the last year before our society’s insanity kicked into top gear.
* Obscure only in the sense that the MSM, Social Media and Big Tech won’t be showing it. To anyone.
It looks like Hispanic is a bit elevated, too.
I get the impression sometimes that PTB have decided to let negroes run amok until the majority of whites conclude that negroes cannot be here. Factor in a food, fuel and currency crisis and the problem may sort itself out. One can hope.
I mean they won’t have reasonable numbers for December 2021 until July 2022, so I’m ending the trendlines with November 2021.
These are just matters of life and death, not baseball statistics, so you can’t expect to be kept up to date.
So what is the cause of the massive uptick in Black homicides beginning in early February 2020? It can’t be the death of George Floyd, as he didn’t die for another four months. Ahmaud Arbery was killed in early February 2020. The graph you showed would seem to indicate that the Summer of George – in terms of the murder rate – wasn’t so much the Summer of George as it was the Year of Ahmaud.

As I’ve been saying, I think black homicides started going up around the middle of 2019.

This graph and the two companion graphs in Steve's Takimag J'Accuse! piece from May '22 are fine-grained enough to count months. As Mr. Anon noted, 202o trendline begins shooting up in March. However, February is every year's low point -- low-energy guys huddling around the coal grate rather than emptying the magazine at a funeral or flipping the car.
April 2020 to May 2020 is the Big Jump, which continues up to its high in June 2020.

So, for example, Larry Krasner was elected in November 0f 2017 and took office in January of 2018. Murders were already trending up in Philadelphia when he was elected in line with the trend of the second Obama term, but they accelerated after he was sworn in. So, in my view, Krasner was both a symptom of an existing pro-crime movement adding to a year over year increase in violent crimes, as well as a cause of increased crime year over year after his assumption of office.
Is it possible to divide each number of homicides for each group by the US population number for each group, thereby making them on an equivalent percentage scale and so easier to interpret? Even if the population number for each group is only updated annually (or even fixed for the entire time span) that would not matter much.
Don’t worry, we’re going to get more gun control laws; which won’t be enforced against Black and Hispanic people, because racist.
It could be worthwhile for someone to data mine Black social media to see if the mood changed over that time. Building and updating a list of all their terms for “kill” could be a Sisyphean task though.
Ironically – and with great importance for gun control debates – the USA still has one of the lowest murder rates in the Americas, even with these spikes in numbers
Back in 2019, the USA had the 4th lowest murder rate in the Americas, only Canada (also with lots of guns), Chile and Cuba were better … Even places in Latin America people think of as ‘safer’, like Costa Rica, had 2.5x or higher multiples of the USA murder rate. Mexico 3x, etc.
The moral seems to be this: Once societies are significantly ‘multi-cultural’ and race-mixed – uniquely the Americas – they are generally significantly violent, and you NEED THE GUNS in hands of honest people to keep the murder numbers down.
A huge amount of Latin American murders are via knives and clubs as well as illegal guns. You have no defence against a small group of thugs with just wood and metal, if your family has no guns. So gun-control shills talk about ‘gun murders’ instead of just ‘murders’ generally, which tell a different story.
Brasil had been something like 4x-5x the US murder rate, but murder rates there went DOWN as Bolsonaro made gun ownership a little easier.
Latin American murder rates are higher than most of Africa, aside from ‘multi-cultural’ South Africa, the only place outside of the Americas with several of the world’s most murderous cities. Tho rapes and thefts are high, superstitious Africans apparently fear being haunted by the ghosts of anyone they kill. USA blacks, ‘Christianised’ or ‘Islamicised’, have had this salutary fear pressed out of them.
This is what needs to be trumpeted in all those ‘gun control’ debates.

Here are graphs through 2020 to homicides and traffic fatalities through 2020 per capita:
https://www.takimag.com/article/it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time/
They didn’t change much in 2021.
Perhaps it’s due to presentation of the graph data in linear form. In a Guardian piece of last year, this part stands out:
“Homicide rates were higher during every month of 2020 – even before pandemic-related shutdowns started in March, the analysis found. But there was also a “structural break” in the data in June, indicating “a large, statistically significant increase” in the homicide rate, around the same time as the mass protests that followed the murder of George Floyd.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/30/us-crime-rate-homcides-explained
In other words, it may be that a modest rise, or series of small increments was underway already, but if presented in monthly columnar format the spike would be more obviously relatable to the Floyd death. The linear format suggests a surge when it may have been a spike.

Lots of stuff for Steve on ZeroHedge today. You might start by looking at this:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2022-06-24/defense-west-white-supremacy-and-anti-asian-attacks-debunked
I noticed the same thing, but I think that the increase that began in February 2020 was seasonal; there were similar increases in 2018 and 2019. The number of homicides did not, however, level off in the summer months of 2020 as they did in the two preceding years. Thus the “George Floyd effect” hypothesis remains plausible.
OT — I was completely wrong about abortion enabling Democrat energy in the midterms. I have now seen several online reports plus actual elbow-knocking away from keyboard.* Nobody cares.

I’ve never bought into the published stats that murder rates are higher in Latin America than Africa. I think that most of Africa has dubious record-keeping ability, which tends to understate the true number of homicides. South Africa being relatively more advanced than most other African nations means they keep more accurate records – hence their very high murder rate.
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. At the same time, traditional social structures may not have collapsed in much of black Africa, so perhaps their homicide rates really aren't all that high.
The problems come when you take such people out of their environment and place them in the looser white man's world. Indeed, the same is probably true of Central America and Brazil.

Maybe I’m misreading it, but black homicides were in a typical trough in January of 2020 according to the graph – yes, they were ticking up (it seems like the first of the year is the trough of every yearly cycle even in the heavier years of 2021 and it looks like 2022 – maybe it’s too cold in Northern cities for loose gunplay), but the uptick was within the seasonal norm for the graph. Floyd dies on May 25 of 2020, which would be roughly halfway between 1/20 and 7/20 on the graph, and black homicides at that point are more of less where you’d expect them to be (trending upwards but within the historical norm for the graph at that point). It’s just that May of 2020 the trend doesn’t abate and continues to build and build to a nearly 50% increase over previous years by July of 2020.
I have no idea what the cause might be. Did the cops just get really hands-off when it came to policing on account of the 'rona?

Yeah, Washington DC is like it was in 1992, the peak of the Warren Court crime explosion: blacks are slaughtering each other in Southeast, and in leafy third-alphabet Northwest, whites are worried about stuff that might be stolen from their cars.
Normalise it by share of the population and see how dramatic the disparity really is.
Some of this is chicken-or-egg stuff, but I think it was roughly the middle of the first Trump term when the existing pro-crime “decarceral” movement was supercharged as a left wing/Democratic Party base reaction to Trump and started bearing fruit in terms of the appointment or election of so-called “Soros DAs.” I think the decades-long trend of reduced violent crime started its reversal in the second Obama term post Trayvon Martin/Ferguson. That’s when white liberals started to abandon any semblance of good sense because they felt that the “Emerging Democratic Majority” meant that Democrats would not need working class white voters to win the Presidency.
So, for example, Larry Krasner was elected in November 0f 2017 and took office in January of 2018. Murders were already trending up in Philadelphia when he was elected in line with the trend of the second Obama term, but they accelerated after he was sworn in. So, in my view, Krasner was both a symptom of an existing pro-crime movement adding to a year over year increase in violent crimes, as well as a cause of increased crime year over year after his assumption of office.
You just gave me the idea that we could have baseball-style trading cards for black would-be murderers and murderers with categories like shots on target percentage.
One can find numerous progs in the media/social media who will insist that rising crime concerns are all BS because we are not at the all time highs of the crack era. So in the interest of not pointing out or discussing embarrassing facts about their favorite demographic, they are content to look the other way as blacks alone double the annual body count of the entire EU.
Obviously there are a lot of traditional conservatives who like to point out that essentially all efforts to “help” blacks have been a disaster, but for the left these are acceptable losses in the pursuit of political power. The path forward is not to frame it in these terms, but the impact of black dysfunction on everyone else needs to be reined in.

In some respects it is true that it is fairer to compare the US to Brazil than to compare it to European nations.
It is all a question of image, because traditionally the US has been considered to be an honorary European nation, whereas contemporary US is no more a European nation than Venezuela is a province of Spain.
But the US has this image of being the land of Carousel, where homicides hardly happen except as crimes of passion, but the truth is that it is and always has been the wild west. Even the Supreme Court thinks we should go back to the eighteenths century and be prepared to fight a duel at the drop of a hat.
Not June 2022.
In 2021 DC had 226 homicides. In 1991 DC had 482 hoomicides. Current DC is not like old Marion Barry DC. Also, the population in DC is 15% larger in 2022 than in 1991 (690k versus 610k).
Now compare total shootings. Advances in emergency care have reduced the number of gunshot fatalities across the board in large cities since the early 90's.
Then compare demographic changes since 1991. Much of the population growth the last 30 years are college graduates seeking to ride the G funded gravy train in form or fashion.
Third - all of the different police forces in the metro DC area are given much wider latitude with regards to maintaining the peace, (similar to how campus police for The University of Chicago tend to keep things relatively quiet in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood; it's a literally an oasis of politically connected Chicago Machine members in the a desert of ghetto dysfunction) after all, there are very important people moving about the capitol on a daily basis.

I found this to be the height of bad faith – in the late Obama years, a twenty plus year trend of decreased violent crime (which led to the renewal of American cities) reversed itself. That was news of enormous significance. But the prog messaging hivemind took the position that violent crime was still lower than the all time peak in the early to mid 1990s crack era, so you were not dealing in FACTS and DATA and were being unnecessarily alarmist to point this historic reversal out. If you look back at the media obsessions when this reversal started to occur, it makes the whole U.S. political environment seem all the more hopeless and stupid.
In short, they don't think blacks can help themselves when it comes to controlling their behavior because of this magical and malign force, and thus it's not worth noticing much less discussing the possibility that there are a number of cultural practices within their control that produce such abysmal outcomes.Replies: @Hernan Pizzaro del Blanco
I don’t really see 2020 February or March–look pretty normal to me. But the black rate in April is up and touch, and May is up considerably. So the pandemic did boost black springtime “exuberance”, a bit even before Saint George OD’d because of white supremacy.
This summer will tell the tale. What is the “new normal”?
My theories:
Dysgenic breeding is leaving blacks even more repugnant to each other than usual, causing conflicts.
Letting a lot of blacks out of prison in liberal states during Covid has meant a lot of killing among blacks. This trend should be most noticeable in states where they emptied out their prisons.
Legalization of drugs has caused more blacks to go off their heads while under the influence, causing them to kill each other. This effect should be most noticeable in states that have legalized drugs.
Social media has created a new way for blacks to be rude to each other, sparking conflicts that would not have happened before phones.
An aside: Social media has made blacks more aware of how huge the gulf is between themselves and whites, in every way possible. Wealth, social status, manners, behavior, etc. So competition among blacks has intensified, leading them to kill each other more often in their attempts to climb the social ladder. In the last generation, there has been far more clamoring among blacks that they want to go to white colleges, live in white neighborhoods, and get jobs among the white middle- and upper-classes.
In fact, this greater exposure to white culture and material wealth is causing most of the 3rd world to want to move to America.
Or it could be all of the above.

Crime is driven by men with balls (not being redundant here). What do men with balls care about? Women and money to get/keep women. Inequality among men in ability to secure a mate is very high and more and more men are becoming aware that they are losers in this culture with de facto polygamy/high levels of female choice.
Mostly, polygamous cultures are more violent, because more men end up hopeless/totally without a mate. More guys end up suicidally bored and just go out to fight/run amok, because evolution primed them to go haywire and take the goalie off the net as a last ditch resort. If you’re not gonna score behaving normally, then extreme acts might be your only shot. In the long run, the guys who went out and became psycho killers managed to increase their reproductive success over the passive eunuchs who sat peacefully twiddling their thumbs into extinction.
I expect these social trends to continue unabated.

That’s what I see all the time in interviews with big city police chiefs, but I never hear it as criticism of social media that something should be done about.
It's also created ways for kids to be bullied 24/7, whereas once the bullying mostly stopped when you got safely home. I'm sure this is a factor in increased youth suicides - my kids had 3 people at their secondary schools kill themselves, it was unknown 40 years back at my school.
A co-factor will be divorce/separation, also rarer back in the day. Two of the suicides (boys) were living without a father at home, and the third's (girl) parents had just split up.

Social media has created a new way for blacks to be rude to each other, sparking conflicts that would not have happened before phones.
An aside: Social media has made blacks more aware of how huge the gulf is between themselves and whites, in every way possible. Wealth, social status, manners, behavior, etc. So competition among blacks has intensified, leading them to kill each other more often in their attempts to climb the social ladder. In the last generation, there has been far more clamoring among blacks that they want to go to white colleges, live in white neighborhoods, and get jobs among the white middle- and upper-classes.
In fact, this greater exposure to white culture and material wealth is causing most of the 3rd world to want to move to America.

The end of May isn’t halfway between, it’s almost at one horizontal division before the peak at 7/20, and the number at that time is already at least 90% of the peak. Nothing about 2020’s numbers is amiss (compared to the two earlier years) until about early April, but then it really takes off. There may be a little bump due to the Summer-of-George effect or it may just be the continuation of the already prominent trend that started in April. What this graph pretty clearly indicates is that the abnormally large number of black homicides beginning in 2020 cannot be chalked up to the whole St. Floyd insanity of the summer of 2020.
I have no idea what the cause might be. Did the cops just get really hands-off when it came to policing on account of the ‘rona?

On the other hand, if your roots were in Norway or England or Northeast China, there’s no advantage in patrolling the territory and dominating it at all costs.

Has NYT or some accepted mainstream news posted something like this yet? I’d like to share this data/visualization without getting crucified for it.
More than half – I’ve seen 52% and 54% depending on the source – of inmates released from New York State prisons go directly to New York City’s homeless shelters. So much for their Wonderful Families providing for them.
I think that the single biggest reason the woke/white supremacy theory picked up massive steam in recent years is essentially a progressive mental crackup over the fact no one at any point on the political spectrum would say that decades of pro-black social and economic policies have yielded anything close to the desired result. The left resolutely believes that smart public policy can perfect people and society, and when confronted with a segment of the population that seems largely immune to a wide range of policy interventions they basically went primitive and decided something in the ether that infests every molecule in the US holds blacks back from their rightful place in society.
In short, they don’t think blacks can help themselves when it comes to controlling their behavior because of this magical and malign force, and thus it’s not worth noticing much less discussing the possibility that there are a number of cultural practices within their control that produce such abysmal outcomes.
Big media combined with the our schools, institutions and churches have been promoting woke ideology for decades. In the past, before social media, there was no echo chamber and no easy way for people to virtue signal about their woke status, and less fear of being blacklisted for their opinions.
Social media has enabled progressives to target and blacklist people who blaspheme against wokeness. This has created a climate of fear which results in increased virtue signaling in an attempt to protect oneself from being cancelled.
Another important factor is demographics...Today the vast majority of Americans under the age of 55 benefit from wokeness....just 24% are straight white men, and only 12% are married white females ....so 60% of Americans benefit from wokeness today
‘…I think that most of Africa has dubious record-keeping ability, which tends to understate the true number of homicides. South Africa being relatively more advanced than most other African nations means they keep more accurate records – hence their very high murder rate.’
I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right. At the same time, traditional social structures may not have collapsed in much of black Africa, so perhaps their homicide rates really aren’t all that high.

at around 20,000 people killed per year, the number of murders the last few years is actually about the same as the all time peak numbers from decades earlier. the difference is ‘rate’, but that’s because democrats have flooded the country with an extra 100 million people since 1980.
in general the streets are NOT any less violent right now than they were in 1980 or 1990. factoring in improvement in emergency room medicine, and they’re at least as dangerous today as at any time in history. thousands of handgun shootings per year that would be murders back then are only attempted murders now.
this matches up with what’s happening in Mexico, where they have a sucky third world country without the infrastructure which criminals can count on in the US. in America they’re sent directly to a nearby hospital so their handgun wounds don’t cause them to bleed to death. in Mexico they just die. and so Mexico has the highest murder numbers it’s ever had, right now, today.
Mexico has twice the homicides in 2020 as compared to the U.S (44k to 25K) with one third the population. Having more violent drug gangs who keep their violence out of the border helps along with having more incompetent police.

MSM never mentions improved ER/trauma treatment as helping keep murder rates down. Also, never mentioned is demographic changes in cities (except to say gentrification is bad) and how that affects crime. DC being a case in point with massive demographic changes over the last 30 years. Criemstop prevents such changes from being explored.
Nonetheless, most all crime did go down over the past 30 years--until recently. Still, one gets the suspicion that big city Police Depts (not wanting to rock things with local pols) will revert to their old habit of discounting or mislabelling crimes to help their stats.
That is the problem with using a graph of total numbers instead of per capita homicides. The graphy would also be on a log scale to see real differences.
Log scale visually understates big changes.
Log scale is good for depicting major long term differences, but if you want to show that homicides went up a lot in 2020, log scale is bad compared to regular scale.

A Peace Corps volunteer once described why Africa wasn’t more chaotic: two kids were cutting up, and an elder saw them, whacked their heads, yelled at them for a bit, and they stopped. The elder was not a blood relative or a family member by marriage. In that system, elders are most literally your elders — everyone who is older than you. And they’re all responsible for keeping you in line. The American variant is to have the same kids but with no one around. The same writer pointed to the same system to explain the economic stagnation: an African got some help and training from the Peace Corps to start a bakery. His elder (this time a blood relative) observed that our hero had bread, and that the family “needed” bread (it’s not clear how urgent was this need), and so demanded the young baker’s entire stock for free, and of course got it. The family smothers, but the family also smothers.

there’s no speculation. all medical professionals would state the same. thousands of handgun shooting victims per year now as saved whereas in the past they would have died. handguns mainly work by poking holes in you, and most people hit by handgun fire don’t drop dead on the spot, they actually turn and run. lots of them bleed to death. it’s much harder to save people from shotgun and rifle wounds.
when some random guy shoots another random guy but the guy who gets shot doesn’t die, and the police have no suspect, which is often the case now with clearance rates around 50% in some cities, there’s no charge and no official number goes into any record keeping system. so that’s how the official number of attempted murders and assaults goes down and doesn’t match the shooting numbers. this is aside from the fact that in democrat controlled cities, the officials just plain lie about the numbers now sometimes, and participation with FBI nation data collection is declining.
we use murders because it’s hard to hide dead bodies, so there’s always something to physically touch, see, and count when cadavers start showing up. like guessing about how life was in different historical periods, we first reference tax records of the era, since that was the most important thing to keep track of and is typically the most accurate thing you can find.
i’ve been doing this stuff for 30 years. i didn’t make up anything out of thin air and have been checking internet sources on these topics for decades.
i would guess that now that mass shooting are way up in the hood, probably due to exuberance as Steve says, in addition to semi auto handguns with big magazines, the amount of people hit is a lot higher than the total attempted murder charges handed out by democrat AGs.
when some guy sprays a crowd and hits 17 people, killing 2, he usually doesn’t get 15 attempted murder charges. but EMTs and hospitals do get 15 new patients immediately. again, that’s if they get some suspect, which sometimes they don’t.
another dumb statistical concept is that being a police officer is actually not that dangerous of a job, compared to roofers or lumberjacks or other jobs where you can fall off of something high. oh yeah? do you put on kevlar and holster your glock before going into the office every morning? why not? i thought police didn’t have a dangerous job? let’s take away all their armor and weapons and then see how not dangerous their job is.

Russia is a massively difficult country to run, and the governmental structures often reflect the weakness of rulers in getting things done rather than the other way around. Directly invade? You are cooked. Apply pressure on the periphery, and let things internally go their own way, you aren’t.
Mind, my take is very simple: Russia (and Iran) are second-tier annoyances with whom we need to cut whatever deals need to be cut so we can extract ourselves from Europe and the Middle East and focus exclusively on China, which should be considered an equal superpower now-and even there, power projection ain’t going to be what it used to be after 30 years of mismanagement. At worst, it’ll be a matter of saving the country from the times ahead. My opinion of giving 6.1 billion to the Azov Batallion while more Americans are thrown into poverty and trying to kiss Saudi ass instead of opening our own pipelines need not be stated.
(We do not need a garrison in South Korea, for example.

In general, the Pivot to Asia neglected… actually treating Asian allies with the same level of solicitude that we’ve given to NATO freeloaders out of Boomer nostalgia, and also went for breadth instead of the selective depth I’d favor. But that’s my unprofessional take, nothing more.)
Why not provide a cite for one’s speculation. If the number of shooting never changes there should be a multitude of studies and surveys that show this. Please provide a link from a .edu or .gov website that proves your point. This is the second request. The number of attempted murders has not gone up to balance the shootings.

Also, if one is going to claim that the most violent prone have left a city due to changing demographics, then one is going to have to find where they went. One should be able to find a county or city where the homicide rate went up near NYC, DC, Los Angeles when the homicide rates were doing down in those cities.

In short, they don't think blacks can help themselves when it comes to controlling their behavior because of this magical and malign force, and thus it's not worth noticing much less discussing the possibility that there are a number of cultural practices within their control that produce such abysmal outcomes.Replies: @Hernan Pizzaro del Blanco
Social media is the main cause of the embrace of wokeness. The many failures of government programs and policies to help Blacks were well known by the 1990s.
Big media combined with the our schools, institutions and churches have been promoting woke ideology for decades. In the past, before social media, there was no echo chamber and no easy way for people to virtue signal about their woke status, and less fear of being blacklisted for their opinions.
Social media has enabled progressives to target and blacklist people who blaspheme against wokeness. This has created a climate of fear which results in increased virtue signaling in an attempt to protect oneself from being cancelled.
Another important factor is demographics…Today the vast majority of Americans under the age of 55 benefit from wokeness….just 24% are straight white men, and only 12% are married white females ….so 60% of Americans benefit from wokeness today
Mexico has twice the homicides in 2020 as compared to the U.S (44k to 25K) with one third the population. Having more violent drug gangs who keep their violence out of the border helps along with having more incompetent police.
Please try to learn to use Google instead of pointless speculation.Replies: @prime noticer, @Lowry
Prime Noticer has good points though. Studies in US (sorry, I don’t have the cites) indicate that taking into account improved ER/trauma techniques, equipment, processes, etc. from the early 90s through recent years, the murder rate should be 3x-4x higher. Even cutting such estimates in half yields current per capita murder rates in many cities on par with or even exceeding early 90s highs. Last year, Philadelphia with a similar sized pop. as it had in the early 90s exceeded its prior highest murder years from the 90s–and this is without taking into account improvements in ER/trauma treatment.
MSM never mentions improved ER/trauma treatment as helping keep murder rates down. Also, never mentioned is demographic changes in cities (except to say gentrification is bad) and how that affects crime. DC being a case in point with massive demographic changes over the last 30 years. Criemstop prevents such changes from being explored.
Nonetheless, most all crime did go down over the past 30 years–until recently. Still, one gets the suspicion that big city Police Depts (not wanting to rock things with local pols) will revert to their old habit of discounting or mislabelling crimes to help their stats.
DC is whiter than it was.
You are correct. There used to be armed security in front 24/7 (usually with MP5). Lots of antennae and dishes on that roof.

He did not explain and used no data. He speculated based upon a decrease in homicides since 1990 without looking at whether there was an increase in attempted homicides. If one could not be saved by emergency medicine in 1990 but can be in 2020, then one still needs medical care and those shooting cannot be ignored.
Without data or cites it is just baseless speculation.
Part of that building is not Axios, the politics reporting services. I went to a meeting there for Axios to be part of a focus group. It is all open office and long tables. It would be a horrible place to work for anyone who is over 25.

That’s not white culture. Your map shows individual European countries that each have distinct cultural traits (in this case, language). Assuredly, there are commonalities within the European continent. So there is a level of cohesiveness.
But as far as is their such a thing as white” culture? Well, no.

Many moons ago, I worked at a SCIF near Norfolk VA and instead of boulders, the perimeter was surround by heavy steel cable strung somewhat loosely through very stout posts. I guess the idea was that the cable would absorb the energy of any inbound vehicle.

See Lowry’s comment. “Do you have a cite for the media not reporting that?” You’re a fed but your folders are bland.
However, the data shows that as the murder rate goes down, the rate for attempted murder/aggravated assault has not gone up.

There are also requirements on the glass in the windows or in the strength of the door and window frames. Many of the brutalist buildings from the 1970’s are the most at risk for car bombs due to the first or second floor being smaller than the higher floors. That creates a place for the shock wave to catch and “bounce” around.
Lowry, without cites, claimed that emergency medicine is somehow saving those severely injured from shootings, etc without any increase in the attempt homicide rate. Cannot happen. If there has been so many people seeing this, then provide the cites. And if demographics change drove the data, then the surrounding inner suburbs should have seen increased murder/attempted murder rates.
However, the data shows that as the murder rate goes down, the rate for attempted murder/aggravated assault has not gone up.
The US Constitution does not forbid dueling, and now that the Supreme Court has more or less endorsed carrying concealed weapons, it seems likely that we may see a revival of this historic practice, perhaps in the Senate, where small margins make all the difference.
In 1838 Jonathan Cilley of Maine, who was a newbie in Congress and probably unfamiliar with southerners, was killed in a duel by Rep. William Graves of Kentucky. Graves narrowly escaped censure in the House, but a federal law was passed banning dueling in Washington, DC, which law, I believe, still stands.
Apparently after this there was an attempted constitutional amendment to ban dueling in 1839, but it went nowhere. (Shouldn’t they try again now? I bet the Republicans would refuse to support the measure.)
So it was handed down to the state legislatures. Some of them have recently enacted “stand your ground” laws that sound somewhat similar to re-legalization of dueling. Could we see these laws coming into play when incumbents see the results of hotely disputed elections in certain states?
But why should rights that the Constitution gives to the People be taken over by state governments? Does the word People as used in the Constitution mean “state governments”?
I think our experts in the Supreme Court on how many angels could dance on the head of a pin in 1776 ought to rule on this, because it seems to me that State governments have maybe made a whole lot of laws that are unconstitutional, or at least ought to be subject to periodic referenda by We the People.

The Constitution does not protect a right to duel and there are plenty of Constititional laws making duelling impossible. You probably think that warning shots are a thing.
