Both the total number of homicides, as well as the rate of increase year-on-year, reached a decades-long peak in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf current estimates prove accurate, 2020 witnessed the largest single-year increase in homicides in U.S. history, and 2021 is on pace to see a jump an even higher jump,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2021\/07\/progressives-dont-need-to-downplay-rising-homicides.html\">reported<\/a> New York Magazine on Thursday, the day before their Twitter exchange. The BBC analyzed statistics from the FBI and found the number of murders in 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/57581270\">exceeded<\/a> those of any year this century. \u201cThat amounts to more than 20,000 murders in a year for the first time since 1995, up from about 16,000 in 2019,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/22344713\/murder-violent-crime-spike-surge-2020-covid-19-coronavirus\">according<\/a> to left-of-center Vox.com. A criminal justice expert, John Roman, told Vox that last year represents \u201cthe largest increase in violence we\u2019ve seen since 1960, when we started collecting formal crime statistics\u201d at NORC at the University of Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Worse yet, 2021 is shaping up to break last year\u2019s record in many major cities. Last month, the New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/01\/us\/shootings-in-us.html\">reported<\/a>, \u201cWith Homicides Rising, Cities Brace for a Violent Summer.\u201d The Times analyzed analyzed first quarter data of crime in 2021 and saw that murders had increased 18%. Reporters noted that \u201c[t]he F.B.I. does not release full statistics until September, but homicide rates in large cities were up more than 30 percent on average last year, and up another 24 percent for the beginning of this year, according to criminologists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rising crime rate threatens residents of New York City, whether or not Reid\u2019s friends inform her of the danger. Murders year-to-date have soared by 50% over two years, according to statistic from the NYPD \u2014 12% since last year. Rapes in the Big Apple have risen 11% in two years, and 5% since 2020. It\u2019s true that overall total crime numbers have fallen by just under 1% since last year, due to the large reduction in burglaries last year.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s true of New York City holds true nationally in this case. \u201cAs of May 2021, homicides in Philadelphia were up 28% over 2020,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/opinion\/op-ed\/bs-ed-op-0628-baltimore-homicide-steady-20210628-tk6tbuzwyfepjlkfxvd5rcmoyi-story.html\">reported<\/a> The Baltimore Sun. \u201cBaltimore will either match last year\u2019s numbers or have an increase that is much lower than the national average,\u201d it seemed to boast.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, former crime analyst Jeff Asher of the New Orleans Police Department told the Times, \u201cWe are still looking at a horrific increase in violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there were 57 unprovoked shark bites globally in 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu\/shark-attacks\/yearly-worldwide-summary\/\">according<\/a> to the Florida Museum of Natural History\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu\/shark-attacks\/\">International Shark Attack File<\/a>. Given the scope and magnitude of the U.S. murder epidemic, it seems a startlingly inexact comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Reid\u2019s friend may not have informed her of these statistics, which are publicly available to the point of becoming ubiquitous. But if she as a journalist cannot find them, as Joe Biden recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-biden-screams-at-cnn-reporter-who-questioned-him-youre-in-the-wrong-business\">told<\/a> CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins, Reid may be \u201cin the wrong business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
