That's about 39 a day. 39 * 3-day weekend = average of 117 deaths. So definitely up a good bit.

I remember reading an article about how white nationalists were going to stage attacks over the 4th of July the media was trying to make them into some big threat yet no attacks happened and 150 people were killed as major cities puzzle over how to deal with this crime wave. Maybe defunding the police and turning them into the enemy wasn't such a great idea.

The police created much of this crime with racist and stupid policies that lead to poverty and prison for stupid shit and don't give a fuck about rehabilitation so people go in for something trivial or forgiveable, join a gang for protection and end up in and out of prison.

Mental health care
Rehabilitation
Education
Stable Families/support networks
Safety nets and affordable housing

Are how you stop crime. Literally completely defunding police is dumb but most people don't want a full defunding. More of a partial diversion of funds.

1st world country: a country allied with the US
2nd world country: a country allied with the USSR
3rd world country: a country allied with neither

By definition, the US cannot be a third world country.

You know if Trump was still President this topic would be full of "Trumps America" comments. Yet somehow Biden gets a free pass. Funny how that works.

"a 26% drop from last year's holiday weekend, according to the latest data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive."

Hmm not even a full year in office and things are looking up.

I thought it was based on where the country was in terms of population growth.

For the holiday weekend. Now lets look at the year.

The U.S. has suffered 272 mass shootings this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. That figure is 40% higher than this time in 2020.

And that was from 3 weeks ago

Why are you intentionally using old ass definitions nobody else uses anymore? The new meaning of the term is developed country. America is demonstratively undeveloping
