[quote=Anonymous]First, every murder is tragic and I don't mew to downplay how horrible that is. But the percentage jump is unnecessarily misleading because the numbers are so low. And if you dig into them more, many are domestic violence. Men killing their mothers, their wives, etc. That doesn't make it less disturbing. But it's not stranger violence or gang violence or drug dealer violence. I'm not saying there isn't more to be done, but it's not really worth sounding an alarm. I think a helpful measure would be looking at non fatal shootings too. And aggravated assaults. I believe both were down significantly for 2025. [/quote]
