Seems the top states don’t have Trump’s Gestapos going there.

    Louisana rate; 22.2 California rate: 5.9 (murders per 100k) National Guard deployment? California. Your tax dollars at work!

    The justification is by city, so let’s use cities. And that list is here.

    If we look at just murder rate from 2024 per 100,000 people:

    1. Birmingham, AL - 58.85
    2. St. Louis, MO - 54.09
    3. Memphis, TN - 40.61
    4. Baltimore, MD - 34.77
    5. Detroit, MI - 31.17
    6. Cleveland, OH - 30.05
    7. Dayton, OH - 29.66
    8. Kansas City, MO - 27.56
    9. Shreveport, LA - 26.84
    10. Washington, DC - 25.49 … \ 22. Chicago, IL - 17.47 (just under Little Rock, AR) \ 127. New York, NY - 3.92 (just under Omaha, NE)

    Now, you could make the argument that DC and Baltimore are part of one metropolitan area, but no matter how you slice it, the next city on the illegal military occupation list would be Birmingham.

      Last year’s murder rate in Birmingham was caused by a single person known as the enforcer for a gang. He was finally caught and is being charged with 23 murders over an 18 month period! There are quite a few more he is suspected of!

      Edit: fixed autocorrect changing murders to borders and nurses

    Seems the top states don’t have Trump’s Gestapos going there.

    Because that was never the actual reason, and reducing crime is not, in fact, the point.

    It’s almost like… Trump’s crime crackdowns are completely divorced from reality and are based solely on state political affiliations and not actual crime statistics? Wow, I’m bloody shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
