Murders in the United States have soared by 34% over the past two years, growing from about 18,342 victims in 2019 to 24,493 in 2021. This is a rise of more than 6,000 murders. Yet, certain politicians and media outlets are downplaying this problem, and the FBI is burying the data. Others are blaming this bloodshed on Covid-19 and gun sales, but the facts are more consistent with the theory that the "Black Lives Matter" movement is responsible.
