Im not a Boston hater but even the highest tally in the mid 70’s and a 13.3 rate in the last the last two decades is still pretty damn low. Even Portland Oregon cleared that recently and that city had always been the tamest
We have decades worth of stats and Boston does not have any numbers at all. Its a city full of wannabe minority gangsters that don’t get active. Chicago just had a tally in the Month of May what Boston hasnt even racked up in 18+ months. Hartford 6x smaller has a higher tally than Boston right now.
Even before the “raids” and arrests Boston was putting up years in the 30’s more than once.
The Sun Times has a tracker that I like to use. Apparently it's off by 3 (so just add 3 to the total number of murders for the year). You can track previous years and months, too. There are several Chicago homicide counters out there, and they often come up with different numbers. But this is just the one I prefer.
In terms of how this Memorial Day weekend compared with previous ones, the Sun Times still has a headline up right now calling it "the most violent Memorial weekend in 5 years." Take that for whatever it's worth.
Pretty sure that 18 murder day was the weekend after Memorial Day because George Floyd was killed on Memorial Day a lot of the chaos happened the next weekend
Portland's black homicide rate was 90/100k last year (35 murders to 37,845 people). To put it in perspective, LA's rate was 40/100k. With all the gangs and hoods in LA, I'm sure no one would've guessed that Portland's black community was twice as deadly. I mean, it's Portland. It has to be something more than just demographics to explain the propensity for violence if it's that bad in Portland all of a sudden.
I think people have long underestimated Portland's propensity for violence - it's always had a high rate of violence among its (small) Black community. And there are also a lot of violent White rednecks in the vicinity and they commit their share of violent crimes (aside from murder).

Its technically not memorial weekend but the heyjackass website threw it in there since they literally have every statistic archived.

The 18 murders happened May 31st on a Sunday.. It happened on the weekend of the initial protests and why May wind up with 80+ murders.
[quote=BostonBornMassMade;63540021]2010 Boston had 74 homicides
2012 DC had 88 homicides
In those years I think DC and Boston had equivalent aggravated assault and Boston had higher rape. DC leading in all other categories, especially robbery.
Going back to 2006: Moderator cut: link removed, competitor site
During the Obama years DC, ATL, STL, Memphis all had about under 100 murders which is baffling compared to today. Even Chicago was in the 400s and Philly in the 200's. Crazy
A 19 y/o was shot and killed at a Sunoco in the Salem section of VB last night. That brings their total to 12, compared to 5 at this time last year; also 65% higher than the YTD 3 year average of 6.

Weird thing about this is, if it were not for social media and statistics we probably wouldn't even tell the difference between yesteryears and today.. the only thing IMO different now days are maybe the way people are a bit more careless and opinions are more profound to the point it is imagined fact. Trump gets the credit for speeding up our societies incohesiveness. Now when we introduce statistics like the murder rate is when we see that society is actually twice as bad.
Los Angeles - 148
San Bernardino - 43
Oakland - 43 > 45 including manslaughter
Fresno - 23
Stockton - 20
Palmdale - 8
Compton - 5
