The real racists in America remain Democrats.

While right wing delusionals remain convinced that there is not now and has never been any racial problems in the USA, still another innocent victim of racism is released from prison:


N.C. man who spent 22 years in prison on wrongful conviction pardoned, 5 years after he was freed


A French mayor was convicted of rape. He's running his town from…
Former Jets Star, Super Bowl Champ Killed In Fishing Accident

A North Carolina man was pardoned Friday after spending 22 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

Darryl Howard, now 58, was freed in 2016, but Friday’s pardon from Gov. Roy Cooper allows him to seek up to $750,000 in compensation for the time he spent locked up.

Howard was wrongfully convicted in 1995 of killing a 29-year-old woman and a 13-year-old girl in a Durham housing complex in 1991.

Attorneys for Howard later demonstrated misconduct by Durham County prosecutors and local police in the case, and obtained DNA evidence that another man, not Howard, had sexually assaulted the two victims.

A judge tossed Howard’s conviction in 2016 and freed him from prison. County prosecutors could have refiled charges, but instead dismissed the case.

The county prosecutor who tried Howard’s case, Mike Nifong, was later disbarred and briefly jailed for covering up evidence in the infamous 2006 Duke lacrosse case.

How many thousands remain in jail or died there and who never got any justice for the terrible things they endured?

Who wants to tell Brooklyn which party Nifong was a proud and loud member of?

Brook might also be dismayed to learn who wrote the 1993 Crime Bill which ruined millions of black families. Heck, even our current Madam VP tried to incarcerate anyone and everyone for one joint.

Brook must not know which party he belongs to. Sad.

Evidently, our pal Petey is not familiar with the term DINO which has been directed at his hero innumerable times over the years. Furthermore, Petey failed to see that I referenced right wing delusionals - a term that does not necessarily reference any particular party.

Is Biden a DINO? Dude wrote the ‘93 Crime Bill.

Kamala? She begged CA judges to keep prisoners in prison past their release date because ‘their labor is cheap’.

Yeah, like your hero Reagan disarmed the Black Panthers so that people could not defend themselves against the cops but is still viewed as a champion of individual rights. "Get government off your backs" - but give the government WMD and cripple people's ability to defend themselves. Brilliant, fer sure.

Whatcha talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?

My new hero is this black woman who lawfully owned a gun and shot three white intruders, in your neck of the woods

Reagan was not my hero. He changed the downward direction of America, but ultimately wasn’t a true believer in small government, and as a result negotiated with hacks like Tip O’Neill, a hostage to Marxist teacher unions.

I’m a Rand Paul fan. Please note that for future correspondence.

Hey Petey ~ the family that shoots together, stays together.

Libs wrecking another city.

America's murder rate increase in 2020 has 'no modern precedent,' crime analyst group finds


https://www.foxnews.com/us/murder-rate- ... roup-finds


Murder rates saw a "historic" increase in 2020 compared to 2019, with more than 1,200 additional killings year-over-year in a sample of 34 American cities, according to a study released Monday.

"The coronavirus pandemic, continuing incidents of police violence, and rising homicide and violent crime rates each pose massive policy challenges in their own right, but the interplay between them creates even more difficult decisions for policymakers," states a report from the National Commission of COVID-19 and Criminal Justice (NCCCJ). "Despite this difficulty, leaders at all levels of government should take bold action in responding to all three crises."

Homicide rates jumped by 30% from 2019 to 2020, while gun assault and aggravated assault rates climbed 8% and 6%, respectively, experts found.

POLICE, LAW ENFORCEMENT HAVE BEEN HOT-BUTTON ISSUE IN 2020

"Homicide rates were higher during every month of 2020 relative to rates from the previous year," the report states, calling the 30% surge "a large and troubling increase that has no modern precedent."


Experts analyzed the data from as many as 34 U.S. cities, which varied in size and population, for year-over-year changes in 10 different areas of crime for the year-end update of an NCCCJ report called Pandemic, Unrest, Crime, and Violence in U.S. Cities. In addition to the three offenses listed above, the report examined the rates of domestic violence, robbery, residential burglary, nonresidential burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft and drug offenses.

The rates of homicides, motor vehicle thefts, gun assaults and aggravated assaults rose year-over-year. Meanwhile, those related to drug offenses, larcenies, nonresidential burglaries, residential burglaries and robberies all decreased during the pandemic and during the year as a whole compared to 2019, analysts found.

Not every city provides the same kinds of data, and sample sizes for certain types of offenses were smaller than others.

As for domestic violence, analysts were only able to examine data from 12 cities. They found that there was "a significant increase" in these types of offenses during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the rate then leveled out to be roughly the same as it was in 2019.

How to address the rise in violent crime happening across the US Video
The average population of the cities whose homicide rates were examined was 978,000, but the cities range in size. The largest city in the sample, New York, boasts a population of approximately 8.42 million people, while the smallest, Norfolk, Va., has 245,000 residents, the report states.

Analysts examined cities’ aggravated assault rates to find that they were, on average, just over 6% higher than in 2019, with 6,741 more instances in 2020 than the year prior. Meanwhile, experts reviewed the gun assault data for 15 cities and found that the rate climbed nearly 8%, with 3,557 more offenses.

In terms of homicides, the report examined only those that were criminal in nature and defined homicides as being "deliberate and unlawful killings of one human being by another."

Analysts found that homicide rates, like most of the other crimes examined, follow a "clear cyclical pattern" over time – rising during the summer months and falling in the autumn and winter. But in 2020, murder rates "exceeded previous rates throughout the entire year."

Chicago officials are ‘ridiculous’ to cut police funding amid crime rises: FOP presidentVideo
"[T]here was a structural break in the city average in June, indicating a large, statistically significant increase in rates after adjusting for seasonality and the longer-term trend," the report states. "After this break, homicide rates increased sharply through July then declined through the end of the year, though not to levels observed in the prior year."

January and February 2020 saw a combined homicide rate increase of 32.5% compared to the same time in 2019. March through May saw a 19.4% surge, while June through August experienced a 37.2% rate increase and September through December reported a 28.2% spike year-over-year.

Analysts found that the pandemic likely "temporarily suppressed" some murders because it limited "opportunities for offenders and victims to interact." But as COVID-19-related restrictions were slowly lifted, or public concern waned in the spring and summer months, homicide rates rose.

Despite the decrease during the height of the COVID-19 shutdowns, analysts believe the pandemic "may have increased the commission of homicides in multiple ways."

Violence surges in cities amid defund the police movementVideo
The pandemic "disproportionately affected vulnerable populations" by creating more stress, whether physical, mental or financial, experts found. It also further strained those groups and institutions tasked with responding to or treating violent crimes, such as police, hospitals, emergency medical services, community groups and courts.

"COVID-related restrictions may have had an initial suppressive effect on homicides, but the waning of those restrictions, coupled with the strain on at-risk individuals and key institutions – aggravated further by the lack of outreach to such individuals – have all likely contributed to elevated homicide rates in 2020," the report notes.

Analysts also noted a "precipitous rise" in murders during the emergence of civil unrest and protests following George Floyd’s death but added: "the connection between police violence, protests and social unrest, and heightened community violence remains uncertain." They also said they have found so far that "no simple connection exists" between the trio.

PROTESTS, RIOTS THAT GRIPPED AMERICA IN 2020

In all, homicide rates in 2020 were 30% higher than in the year before, with 1,268 more murders in the 34-city sample alone, the NCCCJ found. Murders rose in 29 of the 34 cities examined, or 85%.


"Homicides increased in nearly all of the 34 cities in the sample," the experts wrote. "In the authors’ view, urgent action is necessary to address these rapidly rising rates. Subduing the pandemic, increasing confidence in the police and the justice system, and implementing proven anti-violence strategies will be necessary to achieve a durable peace in the nation’s cities."

The report notes that the federal government will provide a "final determination" when it releases its official year-end crime statistics in the coming months.

It also notes that while the one-year increase "is cause for concern," the absolute homicide rate remains "well below historical highs."

"In 2020, in sample cities the homicide rate was 11.4 deaths per 100,000 residents; twenty-five years earlier, in 1995, the rate for the same sample was 19.4 deaths per 100,000 residents.

Homicides skyrocket in major cities plagued by anti-police protests

"And several of the starkest increases were reported in "smaller cities with very small homicide counts, where even a few additional homicides can produce a large percentage change," the report states.

"But large increases in homicides were not limited to smaller cities," the experts wrote.



In Chicago, there were 278 more murders in 2020, which equated to a 55% surge year-over-year, while New York City’s 131 added homicides accounted for a 43% jump, the report found.

"The three largest cities (New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago) accounted for fully 40% of the 1,268 additional people killed in 2020," the experts wrote. "While there is variation among the cities, what is most notable is that homicide (sic) rose substantially in the vast majority of them."

Brooklyn can't seem to use the ignore function or learn how to not let you occupy such space in his head. It's sad, because literally everything he posts lately is intended to be divisive and he doesn't realize it!

Joemauer89!

Let's see, what Republican President expanded government spending the most in his 4 years? What Republican President increased the deficit the most in his 4 years?

And that's who these jerks want to lead their party...

I’m in about seven lib heads on this board. They’re lazy and reactive like most libs. No original thoughts. Weak, needing the mob’s encouragement.
