1995 was basically considered the end of the crack epidemic. Would be even more scarier if the levels reached 1990 levels

I really thought society had progressed. My inner circle of knucleheads and even block huggers from
My hood all straighten out. Got into coding, gaming, nursing, fitness, etc.

Thought the same was happening elsewhere.

But something happened during trump yrs that really put this progress down. Stifled it.
These killings in the hood has to
Stop man. Too many bystanders getting got for someone else problem.

This too. The majority of death resulting from guns is suicide. And does the artucle ever even contextualize why a gun was used. IE self-defense? It changes the narrative.

From the (then) relative safety of the 20teens, people were spouting a lot of nonsense about the Crime Bill of the 1990s. We are on an inevitable road back to that kind of response to the rising crime rates.

This is a fact. People act like That bill wasn’t popular with damn near every demographic thanks to lawlessness in the street.

Just imagine if we had the same medical technology today like we had in the 90s. Probably would double in numbers.

republicans and the bush administration let the assault rifles ban expire and gun deaths skyrocketed.
