The ages of the victims ranged from 17 to 27, according to Detroit police,\u201d the Free Press reported.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet added: \u201cOf the victims, 15 were women.

Yet, we are expected not to notice the one matter of correlation that binds all of these events: the fact that they take place in cities and jurisdictions that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gop-lawmaker-introduces-bill-us-govt-take-democrat-run-city-rising-crime-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historically Democrat-run<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even in Detroit, which has seen significant drops in violent crime, the blame remains on block parties: \u201cThese are pre-planned events attracting people miles away,\u201d White said. He announced a new initiative that would require hosts to apply for permits, advise police they were throwing the event and get the permission of 75 percent of their neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to make it clear that right now the goal is not to chase the partygoers but to go after the party organizers,\u201d White added.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the one thing that Detroit could do to stop this from happening again \u2014 getting the men responsible off the street \u2014 hasn\u2019t happened yet, as no arrests have been made.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we are to hope that block party control will succeed where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/utterly-shameless-biden-pushes-gun-control-mere-hours-hunter-convicted-firearms-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gun control<\/a> hasn\u2019t.
