Skipalongcassidy Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 To all those that swore up and down that red state crime was worse than blue state... there is an update available that debunks your statistics... A report from the Heritage Foundation shows that homicide rates have been higher in Democrat-run "blue counties" than they have been in "red counties" since 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bamnutsak Posted October 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2023 Weird "report". Seem to want to drive the murder rate down to the local level, yet imply Biden is weak on crime. Stats are from 2014-2020, Biden wasn't President. County murders happen in a state. I realize someone had to rebut the red stat crime issue, but drilling down to the county? Really? That might have voted Biden? Does Biden hold some County office? Stop consuming so much Kool-Aid, it's bad for your your health. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamnutsak Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 All of the charts in the "report" reference Biden. Now who's defensive, much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 This is very confusing as all other news reports state homicides in states, not counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Cities always have higher crime rates than rural areas. And cities are more likely to be "blye". if examining at level of county and not first disaggregating by urban/rural the analysis is very flawed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is precisely the point... red states which appear to be high crime would not be if it were not for the blue counties... the blue counties skew the state statistics.
