Five people are dead after a man opened fire Monday night at a Sacramento church and killed his three children, then fatally shot himself, authorities said.
A fifth person was also killed in the shooting, said Sgt. Rod Grassmann, a spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
You post this falsehood on thread after thread. It isn't true and you do not respond to facts that prove otherwise. What do you hope to achieve by doing so? After a dip, the rates have been rising again.
QUOTE: The U.S. murder rate rose 30% between 2019 and 2020 – the largest single-year increase in more than a century, according to data published this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The findings align with a separate tabulation of the nation’s murder rate published in September by the FBI.
People aren't refuting that fact, but rather the use of it as a comparative to current murder rates as opposed to 3 years ago in order to downplay the recent increase.
Imagine a surge in lynchings and having someone point out that it's not that bad, they had wayyyy more lynchings back in the 1930's. Factually correct, not exactly a great response though eh?
Reporting of Forcible Rape has substantially increased over time, attributed to change in state laws, including marital rape and how the crime ( victim) is prosecuted.
Violent,Property,Murder,Robbery, Aggravated Assault,, Burglary and Larceny Theft have substantially declined since peaks in the 80’s- 90’s.
When weighted by population, ( scroll down ^ link) the Homicide Rate is half of what it was at peak.
Unless one lived in the Sacramento metro area 30 years ago, we would likely not be aware of this mass shooting. It happened about 2:00 AM in an area with many bars and clubs. Thus far, LE has not determined if one or more victims were targeted or the number of shooters.
All media seem to play with raw numbers, rates and timeframes to create a perception we live in the worst of times.
There is perhaps no city in the US more maligned by media in terms of crime, than NYC.

Well, it’s a good thing that we have laws that forbid criminals, especially felons, to possess firearms, magazines and ammunition. Also, I’m sure that these criminals followed California’s State law that forbid them from having any magazines with a capacity of greater than 10 rounds.
Also, being California, I’m sure that all the firearms used was from their firearm’s approval list.
Seriously, I wonder how many of these criminals had previous felonies dropped by the State?
How many were released from prisons way too early or actually never were sent to prison?
How many of these criminals never made it to prison, but only given “supervised” probation?

I think it does matter to maintain a perspective instead of getting caught up in “going to hell in a handbag” thinking.
