Murder rates in the United States during 2021 soared to the highest level in 25 years, according to a recent report.
The 2021 murder rate is estimated to be as high as it was in the mid-1990s, when close to 20,000 people were killed annually across the country, Just the News reports.
In 2021, the FBI estimates that the murder rate was 6.9 murders per 100,000 people, just a bit lower than the 1996 rate of 7.4 murders per 100,000 people.
Former NYPD Commissioner Howard Safir – who served during the 1990s crime spike – told Fox News that last year’s spike is partially due to the “woke mentality that assumes that police are racist and brutal.”
“If crimes continue to be committed in large numbers, and police continue not to have the backing of politicians and the public, then they’re not going to do their job the way they did when I was commissioner,” he said.

When a country cannot effectively maintain an orderly society—cannot keep lawlessness at a bare minimum—that is a strong indicator of larger, more serious problems. Murder has become a source of entertainment for the criminal population given the admonishment of police officers, the encouragement of riots and “protests”, and the lighter sentences being handed out if convicted.
Who can now doubt that the concept of the murder of American adults was not birthed in the Democrat cradle of abortion? Roe v Wade was the greatest secular socialist indoctrinator of our youth to ignore the value of American human life when young children saw their potential siblings scraped away like so many human scabs, or inconvenient ingrown toenails.
Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Ephesians 6:4 – And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Train up your children to not value the sanctity of human life, and they will indiscriminately take it from others when they are older. Provoke your children to racial hate, wrath, and envy, and you will nurture them in the ways of the Great CONSUMER whose image they will reflect all the days of their lives, many of which will end violently, taking many of the innocent with them, aborted in adulthood as they were aborted in the womb. Just look about you America and hold those accountable who beguiled you that there would be no consequences to their immediate gratification offers whose long-term consequences birthed a generation of lethal vipers.
WHen he left, Challenged “STOP AND FRISK” which Guillianni, put in TO LOWER CRIME (and it did), WE SAID, their insanity will lead to HIGHER crime…
