Your post on the 2nd said 321, so looks like 1 homicide in 4 days? I'm speechless.... that's a good looking trend, hopefully it continues throughout the weekend when it's the craziest.

22 little over 3 weeks the city hit 300 homicides on July 16th.
People give Chicago, NYC, LA, and New Orleans a bad rap but then you see places like
Columbus, OH
Indy
Toledo, OH
Jackson, MS
Birmingham, AL
Those places are going off the walls bad.
My guess is that it is a combination of:
- Increased anger/anxiety coming out of the pandemic
- Untreated mental health issues
- Increased drug flow both opioids and meth
- Increased gang activity in response to the drugs
- Some police departments fearful of facing backlash after the events of 2020
It isn't just in the cities. Many smaller cities/large towns have seen a spike as well. In Western KY, Bowling Green, Hopkinsville, and Paducah have had multiple murders this summer and shootings about at a rate of once a week. The latter two cities are trying to have community events to try and stop the violence.
Pretty sure NOLA is still doing worse than atleast Birmingham on the crime front
Providence is in a crime wave, the opposite of Boston.
"The shooting is the latest in a streak of violent crimes reported in the city.
Last weekend, a 24-year-old woman was killed in a drive-by shooting as she stood with a friend on Olney Street in the early hours of Sunday morning. Around the same time, a shooting on Reservoir Avenue sent five people to the hospital with gunshot wounds. On Tuesday night, a 35-year-old woman was pulled out of her car and assaulted by a group of ATV and dirt bike riders.
In May, nine people were shot on Carolina Avenue in what police say was a gang-related incident."
However, Albuquerque had a higher rate of homicides proportional to the population in the 1990s.
The murder rate in 1996 — when there were 100,000 fewer people — was the highest ever recorded at 16.64 per 100,000 people. So far in 2021, the murder rate is 14.41 per 100,000 people.

“Police officers don’t like to talk about what they’re going through,” Chief Foley said. “In addition to suicide, divorce rates among law enforcement are up, too. We’ve got to get it out of the closed doors and into the public that there are serious issues for law enforcement.”

Albuquerque’s record is 81 or 82 homicides set in 2019 which ABQ will break that record this month and possibly hit over 100 homicides for the first time ever this year.
