Compare it over many years not just 3.

Nobody wants to hear this but murders are still historically low.

So we shouldn't care about children being murdered? Gotcha.

Also, if the number of murders (226 last year) is too small for you to care about, you must really not care about the number of people killed last year in traffic accidents because those are way, way more rare (40).

I didn't say they were small, I said the tag line is misinformation. Why didn't you care about crime in 2019? Was it low enough for you. The problem is not that it is up.

Is 1 okay with you? No, i don't think so ... so 226 is terrible but again it's not up 133 %, not really. It's misinformation, just use real information so people can actually talk about the real issues.

Trying to discredit rising murders of children as misinformation is pretty gross behavior.

A spike and a rise are 2 different things.

Thanks troll.

We need to hold parents and police who aren't supervising or guiding youth. They are putting their safety at risk and safety of their neighbors as well.

Parents, politicians and police are responsible for this.

Obviously not, which is why it doesn’t get the attention. I honestly don’t think those people would even care if they were shot while riding a bike by someone driving a car. Honestly, if they’re not white, probably don’t even care if they were hit by a car riding a bike even.
