Homicides in Denver hit 9-year high

[wctriumph]

The obvious solution is to not allow any guns in Denver. Not even the police should have them because we know that they would just be stolen anyway and used against them. I mean are we not told that if we carry a gun it will just be stolen from and used to shoot us. They said so at the hearings in 2013, right? And if no one has a clipy bullet holder anymore then that stolen gun could not be reloaded. Heck, problem solved with minimum common sense. That was easy.

Make me kin .. dicta ... Boss and I will solve all your problems.

I would like to see a list of the firearms used in these crimes.

I think that if the victims had remembered to piss, shit, and puke on themselves those numbers would be much lower.

Oh they all did those things, just post mortem.

So with a population of 649,495 according to Google that makes it .00008% murder rate for Denver........ And this is bad? Apparently, we need to do more to cut down on guns, which are only a percentage of the total weapons of choice. Yup, sounds about right.

I agree the overall number/rate is low and they are somewhat honest in comparing that to other cities for contrast. But it is a near doubling of the low we had in 2010. What changed in five years?

Whitewashing where violence (in general) occurs. Ignoring/ Denying the attacks in LoDo were gang and or racially motivated.

Lax sentencing and or plea bargains. Failing to slam a habitual offender with the federal charge of firearm possession.

An overall head in the sand attitude of the political hacks. Who would rather push an agenda of GUNS are Bad. Instead of addressing the real issue, criminals are going to be criminals. No matter how unicorn & puppies you try to paint it.
