Yeah the good thing about this is while homicide has been stagnant for the last 5 years or so, well technically till 2012-ish. Crime in absolute numbers is much smaller than in 2010 vs. 2020. So I'm no criminologist, but what this means is that society is mishandling it's most violent members (giving bond like it's Candy to clearly random acts of extreme violence). This likely means the real societal damage is minimal and once more municipalities get a hold of the murderers, homicides should lower to reflect the actual crime trend that has been strong since the 1970s/1980s. In the 1970s it was much more obviously a societal problem as crime in absolute numbers skyrocketed with homicides.

Very dangerous night in Greensboro, 3 dead. 5 over the weekend.

This brings the murder total for 2021 to at least 9.
