Despite coronavirus lockdown measures, murders in New York City have doubled over last years's numbers for the second consecutive week.
This week last year, the city saw five murders to this year's 10 murders, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) reported.
The NYPD regularly publishes statistics through its CompStat portal, comparing current stats with the equivalent period in the previous year. While some crimes -- including felony assault and rape -- have declined, murder has increased, as did burglary and grand larceny auto, according to the department.

What a mess the government has made of everything. As usual, we the citizens will pay a high price in more ways than we can imagine.

Does two weeks actually define a trend? I would think it would take a longer period to put a percentage on a problem. (Problem?) Does a one day spike in violence, ala Chicago, rate including it so as to report a percentage rise? Give me at least a quarter year to allow for distortions brought on by a short spike in action.

Yawn. We had 12 last week, 52 so far in April and 155 so far this year. During a lockdown. With a 1/3 of NYC's population. Come back when you guys hit the big leagues. NY has always bee major league drama queens.

If you've been watching Cuomo and DeBlasio bloviating their misinformation you'd go berserk too.

If the China Flu doesn't kill you the criminals stalking in the streets of New York will. Such a wonderful state and city to live in.
With Rubber Face Cuomo the governor and Pussywillow DeBlasio the mayor these will be counted a corona virus related deaths see it's simple and the death numbers stay inflated.

Are the new murder numbers out-pacing the CV-19 numbers yet? If the answer is yes, it's time to release New Yorkers.

Just about what I was going to say #1. These murders will be tagged as Corona related deaths.

I understand the same is happening in Chicago. Mainly in the projects on the south side.

I would attribute the extra deaths to bullets ricocheting from TV screens. That's where the madness is.

When the drug dealers don’t get paid for their product and the users can’t pay for their habits, someone is going to pay with their life. It’s how crime works. “I don’t care if you can’t leave your house and I don’t care if you can’t rob someone or some business to pay me. If you don’t pay me, I will murder you, period.” I’m pretty sure that’s why crime is rising in the cities.
It’s also how the IRS works too. Surprised yet?

These are not COVID-19 related deaths,they are lockdown related deaths. NYC is starting to see evidence that the so-called cure is worse than the virus.

Elect incompetent fools, expect foolish policies. And 'unexpected' consequences.

It seems to me that perhaps these extra deaths ARE 'CV-19' related.
Am I correct that NYCity is letting a LOT of criminals out of jail 'so they will not catch the CV-19 virus'?
Are these released convicts involved in any of the murders?
If a Convict was released because of the Virus, and then the Convict murders an innocent citizen, then it seems to me that the Citizen's murder IS due to the CV-19 .
My suggestion.... Put ALL those Convicts BACK IN JAIL......
and to use the phrase of the day.... "If it saves only ONE LIFE, it will have been Worth It!"

Clearly the only solution is to release more criminals from prison.
/s off
Mass insanity in the Dem leadership - and you better be armed to protect yourself from these freshly released thugs.
