'High-crime areas, which are completely ignored by liberal media elites, are also disproportionately black. Black lives matter, we are told, only they don't matter as much as covering for Democrats' incompetence on the crime issue,' ZacharyFaria writes.
That is the indication from a recent Washington Post/Schar School poll, which found that Washington, D.C., residents “feel safer from crime in their neighborhoods than they did this time last year.
“What crime?” would be a 32% increase in homicides compared to last year, along with a 32% increase in property crime and a 109% increase in car thefts. And, while the headline of the piece touts that “more than 3 in 4 D.C. residents feel safe,” the poll shows that crime is still the top issue for D.C. residents and that 66% of them are “very concerned” about gun violence, even if they feel safer than last year.
In most cities, homicides are mostly confined to a few deadly neighborhoods. That is true for Washington, D.C., where most homicides occur in the south and southeastern parts of the city. To illustrate how locally isolated homicides can be in a city, Washington, D.C., has a population of over 700,000, and yet 70% of the city’s gun violence in any given year can be attributed to 200-500 identifiable people.
