Trump is Right About Crime – It’s gone up 17% Under Obama

During Donald Trump’s historic acceptance speech at the GOP convention last week he cited several disconcerting statistics showing that crime in America is on the rise, facts which Obama later shrugged off, stating that America is safer today than we were thirty years ago.

This guy is living in an alternate universe made of gumdrops and candy canes. 

Not surprising, Trump was right.

Again.

During his speech, Donald Trump stated that homicides were up nearly 17 percent in the largest 50 cities.

Actually, it’s even worse than that.

The latest research shows nearly 17 percent increase in the 56 largest cities.

In Obama’s hometown of Chicago, there have been more than 2,000 shooting victims this year alone.

Sadly, the overwhelming majority of  victims are black.

P.S. their lives matter.

City Journal, reports:

45 people were killed in July 2015 alone; 43 of them were black. Baltimore’s per capita murder rate was the highest in its history in 2015. In Chicago, 2,460 blacks were shot in 2015—lethally or non-lethally—or nearly seven blacks a day. By contrast, 78 whites were shot in Chicago, or one every 4.6 days. Twelve cities with large black populations saw murders rise anywhere from 54 percent—in the case of Washington, D.C.—to 90 percent, in Cleveland.

Based on these stats, Donald Trump not only cares about crime victims, he cares primarily for black crime victims, who, like with the poverty, and the unemployment rate are leading the leading victims.
