That is a reason, but one of many. But I don't want to steer this thread into a debate. (unless you were being sarcastic about the blame the government part, I can never tell tones online).
Either way, it is sad to see homicides at or near record highs in so many cities.
Nah I wasn’t being sarcastic. It’s totally unacceptable for the greatest country in the world to have so many shootings & homicides across America in 2021. With the pandemic,race riots & school shootings, it seems like there’s an agenda out there for population control. The government is most definitely to blame for the crime boost. So many have loss their jobs because of pandemic, others don’t wanna go back to work because of the pandemic & vaccine mandates and than they cut off the unemployment benefits at a time where everyone is still trying to figure things out. The street’s are on edge in every city across America and it’s only so much that law enforcement can do.
Than once the 2 biggest cities of New York & Los Angeles got bad again’ that’s when you know it’s getting out of hand.
Like Philadelphia is putting up numbers from 1990 !!! That’s unacceptable.

I wont get into here but most cities being up in murder rate, None of this stuff is really by coincidence
Indianapolis reports 245 as of Nov 26th. Has to be over 250 by now. Whats going on there
Thanks for correction only crimes that is increasing nationwide is shootings, homicides, thefts but overall crime is actually down lower than 2020, 2019 and other years.
Willington, Delaware 35----144 person hit by gunfire At the same time last year, Wilmington had seen 163 people shot, 27 of them fatally. The previous high for people shot in Wilmington in a single year was in 2017 when 32 people were killed by gunfire
Dover, Delaware 5
Allentown, PA 9
Erie, PA 7
Reading, PA 10

Wikess Barre, PA 2
Chester, PA 11
Williamsport, PA 1
New Castle, PA 2
McKeesport, PA 5
Wilkinsburg, PA 8

Those Pittsburgh area numbers are proof that city of Pittsburgh's low numbers are a little deceiving. Between McKeesport, Wilkinsburg, McKees Rocks, Braddock, North Braddock and Penn Hills that is 34 in inner areas that are outside city limits with a combined population of less than 83,000 (rate of 41 per 100k).
Add those to the city number (58 is what was put here) and it's 92 in a population of 386,000, or a rate of nearly 24 per 100K.
A couple times in this thread a Pittsburgh poster was asking what was happening in Cincinnati, which is now up to 85 in 309,000. That's a rate of a little over 27 per 100k. Really, not too much different outside that Cincinnati's homicides are mainly confined to within city limits where some of Pittsburgh's worse areas happen to lie just outside city limits.

It is out of hand in some cities. Philadelphia city limits has more homicides than Italy, Netherlands, and Switzerland combined (85 million people)

What are the gun laws like in those places. What about drugs and gangs. We could resolve most of these issues if we where to start being really honest and hold our elected officials accountable. Moving crime from one jurisdiction to another doesn't help anyone.

I don't think it is as easy as you make it sound to solve this. Why wouldn't it have been done by now? How exactly do we hold officials accountable?
There are more guns per capita in Italy than there are in Brazil. Brazil homicide rate is 48x higher than Italy. Drugs are already illegal and doesn't seem to have helped at all !
