Yeah, like all big bills, there were things attached to it that not all parties were in agreement about, but crack era violence had spiraled completely out of control. The elected leaders, clergymen, civic leaders from the communities supported it because the streets were killing fields and only going to get worse.
How are they classified?
Not true there was like a dozen cities that broke their records during the pandemic on top of more mass shootings nationwide.I have a hard time believing this because many cities had much higher gun violence and homicide rates in the 90’s. Many big cities that’s had super high gun violence are now gentrified and much safer. DC was the murder capital and had 500 murders a year and DC ain’t that big. NYC had over 2000 murders in 1990.
Even midsized to small cities with infamous gun violence reputations are no longer dangerous like Compton and East Palo Alto, CA. The only big cities to break their all time homicide records in recent years are Baltimore and Philly. Many smaller cities broke their all time homicide rates last year, but they were cities not known for gun violence like Portland. A handful of mass shootings does not compare to the thousands of more gun violence daths annually in the 90’s when the population was less.
There is some kind of agenda going on where the media is trying to paint gun violence in a certain light. But it’s also weird that the Supreme Court is actually pushing for concealed carry in blue states. These next few years could actually get worse than the 90’s. I’m talking like old white lady from Boondocks with the sawed off levels of lawlessness. America is the most armed country on the planet. If we ever had a civil war here in these times, it could be the bloodiest war in world history.

NYC is not the only city in America.
I forgot how much medical advances stifled gun deaths in the 90s. People name every theory but that one when explaining declining crime rates during that decade.
We in a good economy right now with these inflation rates and rent/home prices??Fentenyl and shootouts. Yep seems like the 80s again....all we missing is a bad economy....
@ExodusNirvana said we just need more computer labs
With the hyperinflation, violence and drugs crisis, it feels like the worst of the 70s, 80s and 90s combined.Fentenyl and shootouts. Yep seems like the 80s again....all we missing is a bad economy....
We're going to look back to this decade and cringeWith the hyperinflation, violence and drugs crisis, it feels like the worst of the 70s, 80s and 90s combined.
