Homicides in Denver hit 9-year high

[Hound]

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.
