Tampa and St Pete are both at 12. This is high for Tampa, but alarmingly high for St Pete which saw 22 in all of 2020, and 19 in all of 2019. Tampa usually sees 30-40 a year, so while 12 at this point is high, it’s not off the charts.
3 killed Monday, 2 killed Tuesday, and 1 killed so far today in Englewood.
To put that into perspective, Chicago's 2.6 million has had more murders more than all of Canada's 38 million.
When you get to these kind of outrageous numbers, this is not just about crime but also a complete abdication of responsibility by the political, policing, and legal institutions.

Chicago & Philly had more murders in 2020 than all of Japan's 127 million
Chicago is a prime example of a city with massive generationally deep routed poverty in it's inner city AA communities that Canadian cities simply don't have the demographic equivalent of, hence the astronomical disparity in murder rates.
If you break the homicide rate down demographically the statistical chance of a Caucasian/Asian/Latin person being killed in Chicago, Philly, Baltimore or St. Louis etc.. is arguably as low as cities like Toronto or Vancouver.
Black on black crime is sadly what drives these numbers, but yes I do also agree on the points you made about politics, policing and legal institutions. They are criminally half assed in the US.

If you take Chicagos 800k Black Population, and last year 550 were murdered of AA descent, the black homicide rate was in the ballpark of 65 per 100k

Chicago 2020 had many more murders than Puerto Rico, a US territory of 3.2 million that is poorer than Mississippi and straddle the fence of having third world poverty. Now that's alarming, although its big city, San Juan is technically the US city with the second or third highest murder rate among populations at 250k+.
