[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post and the article is useless.

Compare it over many years not just 3.

Nobody wants to hear this but murders are still historically low.[/quote]

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). [/quote]

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.[/quote]

In 2021, there were six children in D.C. who were shot and killed. So far this year, 14 children in DC have been shot and killed. That's a 133 percent increase (and counting).

In 2021, there were 47 children in DC in total who were shot (both fatal and nonfatal). So far this year, 90 children have been shot (both fatal and nonfatal). That's a 91 percent increase (and counting). [/quote]
