Louisana rate; 22.2 California rate: 5.9 (murders per 100k) National Guard deployment? California. Your tax dollars at work!

Last year’s murder rate in Birmingham was caused by a single person known as the enforcer for a gang. He was finally caught and is being charged with 23 murders over an 18 month period! There are quite a few more he is suspected of!

Edit: fixed autocorrect changing murders to borders and nurses

I know my state is a shit hole… but fuck me I didn’t realize both our big cities had that high of a murder rate.

Because that was never the actual reason, and reducing crime is not, in fact, the point.

It's almost like... Trump's crime crackdowns are completely divorced from reality and are based solely on state political affiliations and not actual crime statistics? Wow, I'm bloody shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
