Cities with the highest murder rate in 2021

[Mensch Fontana]

How do they come up with these stats? Austin has nearly 80 murders this year which is more then Atlanta but Atlanta made the list.

it's fear mongering.

A lot of y'all surprised about Vegas are telling on yourself. Vegas been active, the strip is only like 5 blocks

As posted above, it’s only here due to the country festival massacre. This is 2017 data falsely attributed to 2021

To be fair Vegas never had a murder rate that was top 25 from what I can recall. But I also know Vegas is one of the places where it can get 100+ bodies a year.


Also Vegas is a bit different than other cities. I think the Vegas police report their entire metropolitan murder count into 1 which most cities do not do

This is why I only stick to data that has a .gov or .org because lots of these .com websites can be super misleading and I’m sure the IG poster who posted this is not really intelligent in research and just shares an article that he saw for like 1 second

No programs at all. Parents have to do a better job raising their kids. Do that and I guarantee you there will be a 50% drop is black homicides.


Also im not going to lie every time I see the need for something in the black community it makes me think we as a group are literally special Ed.

That's ideal, but realistically a lot of people just suck and unfortunately they procreate as well. Just because your parent is a fukk up doesn't mean you can't be something if given the right opportunities.

We aren't "special needs", but do have a special set of needs that has to be addressed separately. We are the only group forbidden to read and write and it has impacted us for generations to come. Not to mention the purposeful sabotage of economic advancement with things like race riots, eminent domain, restrictive deed covenants, not giving VA loans to black soldiers, etc.

There is a group of us that will do things the "right" or functional way and the other of us will be dysfunctional. I feel people try solutions at the functional level, like parents doing a better job with their kids, but the right solutions at the dysfunctional level will breed more functionality in the long term.

I remember a few years back Uber had this program for people who were a children out of wedlock or living in poor conditions where they can take coding classes for free.


I’ll support stuff like that over an after school or maybe an after school that provides kids with new skill sets to give them a view of the world.

DC went way down from what it used to be which is good. Even the current "crime wave" pales to what it was like in the 80s-90s.

chicago only has the most people due to the large population. but the rate isn't close to the top.

When we take into account the race most affected by gun violence, then the picture is MUCH different.

724 homicides in Chicago, with black people making up 82% of the victims.

Black population in the Chi is about 630,000.

That's a homicide rate of over 94. Black people and white people are living in entirely DIFFERENT worlds in Chicago.

When the fukk did Vegas get that violent?


I left 2019 and although it was kinda wild then I didn’t hear about people getting murked regularly

Vegas is baby L.A now

true cuz I’m sure North Las Vegas got most of those murders .

It’s nowhere near as terrible as it was in the late 80s through the 90s and early 2000s pre-Katrina but still very dangerous.

You had guys walking around that were machines with legitimate serial killer type numbers of bodies under their belt.

NO in the 90s was something else . Was just watching a show about the lady cop that was fukking with the thug nikka, and killed her partner
