Study: If Murder Rate Continues, One Out of Every 179 Americans Will Be Slain
One out of every 179 Americans will eventually be murdered if the crime wave remains at last year’s level, according to Just Facts.
The organization explained in a study published on November 4:
Based on a misunderstanding of new FBI data, NewsNation is reporting that 14,677 murders occurred in the U.S. during 2021, a supposedly large decline from 2020. In reality, that figure is far from complete, and comprehensive records from death certificates show that about 24,493 people were murdered in 2021.
…
Murders have become so common over the past two years that if the murder rate remains at the 2021 level, one out of every 179 people in the U.S. will eventually be murdered. Yet, certain politicians and media outlets are downplaying this bloodshed, while others are blaming it on Covid—a claim at odds with the facts.
Meanwhile, several Democrat-controlled cities across President Joe Biden’s (D) America saw violent crime rise this year compared to last year, a June report found.
Fox News reviewed data that showed rates of violent crimes such as homicide, rape, robbery, and assault in New York City, Los Angeles, D.C., Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Baltimore are on their way to breaking last year’s levels.
Per the Just Facts study, a source of confusion regarding the problem was the fault of the FBI for allegedly releasing “fragmentary” and “inaccessible” data regarding murders and additional crimes.
The organization also said the FBI uses an updated crime measurement system, which is “leading journalists to report that there is no way to know if murders increased from 2020 to 2021. This new system is reliant upon electronic submissions from local and state law enforcement agencies, and many of them are not using it yet.”
Meanwhile, an October poll found the majority of American voters laid blame at the feet of “woke politicians” for the crime wave plaguing the nation, Breitbart News reported.
But the White House in September attempted to downplay Biden’s responsibilities when it came to the crime issue, saying it is “complicated.”

Biden Crime Wave: Target Reports $400 Million in Looting Losses
One of America’s largest retailers said Wednesday that the surge in crime is inflicting deep losses.
Target said its stores are getting looted at a massive scale. The damage to the bottom line has amounted to $400 million so far this year, the company said on a call with reporters on Wednesday.
The company is not the only retailer to point to a rise in theft recently. A spokesman for CVS said earlier this year that it has experienced a 300 percent increase in theft. Rite Aid said in October it suffered $5 million in losses due to theft in NYC in the most recent quarter alone. Home Depot said it has been locking up more products during the past 12 months in an attempt to stem theft.
“There’s a handful of things that can drive shrink in our business and theft is certainly a key driver,” said Target CFO Michael Fiddelk. “We know we’re not alone across retail in seeing a trend that I think has gotten increasingly worse over the last 12 to 18 months. So we’re taking the right actions in our stores to help curb that trend where we can, but that becomes an increasing headwind on our business and we know the business of others.”
The looting losses are especially harmful now because the major retailers are seeing sales soften as consumers grapple with inflation and the looming recession most economists expect to begin within the next 12 months.
There is mounting evidence that the U.S. has become increasingly criminogenic since the summer of 2020 and that this trend toward more crime has accelerated since the start of 2021.
“Americans are more likely now than at any time over the past five decades to say there is more crime in their local area than there was a year ago. The 56 percent of U.S. adults who report an increase in crime where they live marks a five-percentage-point uptick since last year and is the highest by two points in Gallup’s trend dating back to 1972,” Gallup reported last month.
