How many of those gun deaths in those "non-American" cities were caused by criminals released early or without bail? Don't know? Yeah..a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

[confused2]

Cities run by soft-on-crime democrats for decades, where they release criminals early and/or without bail, and they keep law abiding citizens from protecting themselves, have produced those higher murder rates. They are part of America, but the federal government has very limited control over states. They aren't part of being proud of America no matter who's in office.

But trying to diffuse the results of their policies to all Americans is lazy and dishonest.

Isn't New York a city every American can be proud of?

Trump is. New York City does not reciprocate that sentiment however.

As of late 2024 and early 2025, New York City's murder rate is approximately 4.5 to 4.8 per 100,000 residents.

Considering their tax base is fleeing....

Based on reports analyzing data through early 2026, New York City has experienced a significant exodus of residents and high-income earners, resulting in billions of dollars in tax base erosion, primarily to states with lower taxes.

... many New Yorkers are voting with their feet.

Nationally, about 20% to 28% of released criminals go on to be rearrested for a new violent crime within three to five years.

Research indicates that 14% to 18% of recidivist criminals are re-arrested specifically for new firearm-related charges. However, among individuals who were originally convicted of a federal gun crime, the recidivism rate is significantly higher, with over two-thirds (68%) rearrested for new offenses within eight years.

Wow...that's very low! That's like 72% DON'T commit violent crimes. And then of course violent crime could cover anything besides gun killings, like kicking someone in the shin. So your own stats suggest gun deaths have nothing to do with early release or no bail. Tks for confirming you're a lying piece of shit again.

Cherry-picking again. 9_9

And you don't seem to realize that I specifically included that to see if you would bite on the non-gun crime statistic.
