Did COVID-19 cause the spike in murder or the George Floyd Riots? (Contra Sam Seder)

Sam Seder is fake news, says crime is down & crime went up because of COVID. Neither are true, it's a lie https://rumble.com/v5l97oe-fbi-revises-crime-stats-says-crime-is-rising-sam-seder-says-crime-is-down.html Recently, the bi-polar divorcee Sam Seder #samseder #majorityreport suggested that “crime is down”, {X} a talking point that was repeated by a lot of functionally-retarded mouth breathers. That’s true if you cherry pick one year & it’s bad logic, as I exposed here https://rumble.com/v5hs2eb-lyin-brian-tyler-cohen-joe-biden-and-that-lowest-crime-ever-b.s..html A guy who misses 50% of his free throws could go 10-for-10 in a game & his average would be going up, but it’s cherry-picking. Looking at long time frames (I looked at murder & then aggravated assault & robbery together), crime being down is not really true. A lie by omission. [NOTE: Most counties have very little or no murder at all, so if “crime is up” or “crime is down”, it’s likely because of crime in areas where crime has been a problem for decades https://rumble.com/playlists/abPz0GAS47A] Reminds me of Brian Tyler Cohen saying America has a red state murder problem, when it actually has a black on black murder problem & a blue county murder problem. A fib by omission. So, I’ve debunked Sam Seder’s fake claim that crime is down, {X} but what about his recycled claim that crime (primarily murder) was up because of COVID-19? For this exercise, I’m going to look at (assuming the data is available & accurate, stay tuned) data from the FBI & some states. We’ll look at the yearly murder rates & since COVID-19 officially started ravaging the country w/ lockdowns in March, we’ll put March & April together versus the rest of the year, since the George Floyd riots started in May. I will refer back to https://rumble.com/v5hs2eb-lyin-brian-tyler-cohen-joe-biden-and-that-lowest-crime-ever-b.s..html regularly. According to the FBI https://archive.is/8xvMV the murder rate was 4.689 from 2009-2019 (178,595 murders & population = 3,808,010,357). If I go to https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/crime-trend & look at monthly murder counts from January 2009-2019 (download the CSV & if the numbers slightly differ from what I reported in the previous video link, that is NOT my fault) I see 170,967 murders collectively, which is different from https://archive.is/8xvMV so they’ve adjusted the statistics AGAIN! I WAS going to IGNORE January & February, pitting March & April versus the rest of the year but when I downloaded the CSV I saw a massive spike every single DECEMBER & that mucks up my entire endeavor. I checked each YEARLY COUNT w/ the data discovery tool https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/query & they jive with the CSV, but there’s an issue w/ December. I know the monthly counts are not accurate, even if the entire year jives w/ it. The FBI needs to fix this!! [NOTE: My educated guess is the FBI is doing the best it can to get the yearly tally right, at the expense of the monthly tally. They’re just lumping a slew of murders where they cannot determine the correct month in December & calling it good] So, I will adjust what I’m doing & calculate a murder rate for March & April of each year versus the murder rate in May-September for 2000-19 & see how much they typically differ (October is typically the month where murders begin to decline, due to colder weather setting in). Then we’ll compare it to 2020 & later years, giving us an answer as to whether it was COVID or the George Floyd riots that caused murder to spike. Murder typically is much lower in the winter than summer as you probably already know. U.S. Population data 2000 = 282,172,000 * 2001 = 285,082,000 * 2002 = 287,804,000 * 2003 = 290,326,000 * 2004 = 293,046,000 * 2005 = 295,753,000 * 2006 = 298,593,000 * 2007 = 301,580,000 * 2008 = 304,375,000 * 2009 = 307,007,000 * 2010 = 308,745,538 * 2011 = 311,556,874 * 2012 = 313,830,990 * 2013 = 315,993,715 * 2014 = 318,301,008 * 2015 = 320,635,163 * 2016 = 322,941,311 * 2017 = 324,985,539 * 2018 = 326,687,501 * 2019 = 328,239,523 * 2020 = 331,464,948 * 2021 = 332,048,977 * 2022 = 333,271,411 * 2023 = 334,914,895 * Grand Total = 7,473,134,960 https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-counties-total.html https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/popest/2010s-counties-total.html https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2011/compendia/statab/131ed/2012-statab.pdf (use this for pre-2000) * I’ve used enough different documents on the Census Bureau that you will see population data differ, I am sorry for that.

That is >One Standard Deviation above the 2000-2019 average. We’ll see later how it stacks up against later years & how the May-September 2000-19 average looks when compared to post-COVID. Remember, the talking points about “crime being down” were a load of B.S. due to cherry-picking & omission. https://rumble.com/v5hs2eb-lyin-brian-tyler-cohen-joe-biden-and-that-lowest-crime-ever-b.s..html March/April 2021 (2,491 murders) = 0.7501 * March/April 2022 (3,376) = 1.012 (was COVID still causing that or not?) Mar/Apr 2023 (3,105 murders) = 0.9271 (was COVID causing that too?) The bipolar divorcee Sam Seder might have a point if I didn’t look at 2021-23, but the surge in the murder rate (2022 & 2023 being >2 Standard Deviations above the 2000-19 average) continued, yet is the moron going to argue that COVID caused that too? Did COVID cause the 2021 average to be near the 2000-2019 average? I think it was just dumb luck that the March/April murder rate spiked a bit in correlation w/ COVID. Let’s look at the May-September 2000-19 average as well & see if we can find a signal there, shall we? 2000 May-September (6,168 murders) = 2.1859 per 100,000 * 2001 May-September (6,369 murders) = 2.2340 per 100,000 * 2002 May-September (6,625) = 2.3019 * 2003 May-September (6,670) = 2.2974 * 2004 May-September (6,644) = * 2005 May-September (6,984) = 2.3614 * 2006 May-September (7,223) = 2.4190 * 2007 May-September (7,278) = 2.4132 * 2008 May-September (6,827) = 2.2429 * 2009 May-September (6,456) = 2.1028 * 2010 May-September (6,213) = 2.0123 * 2011 May-September (6,434) = 2.0651 * 2012 May-September (6,204) = 1.9768 * 2013 May-September (6,049) = 1.9142 * 2014 May-September (5,905) = 1.8551 * 2015 May-September (6,782) = 2.1151 * 2016 May-September (7,360) = 2.2790 * 2017 May-September (6,976) = 2.1465 * 2018 May-September (6,644) = 2.0337 * 2019 May-September (6,633) = 2.0207 (2.1859, 2.2340, 2.3019, 2.2974, 2.2672, 2.3614, 2.4190, 2.4132, 2.2429, 2.1028, 2.0123, 2.0651, 1.9768, 1.9142, 1.8551, 2.1151, 2.2790, 2.1465, 2.0337, 2.0207) AVERAGE Murder Rate May-September 2000-2019 = 2.16221 per 100,000 & the Population Standard Deviation = 0.1594 (3 years were on SD Below & 3 were one SD Above the average) [NOTE: The George Floyd Riots started in May of 2020. This is where BLM & the Democrat Party fomented violence in an effort to intimidate America into doing their bidding. “Do what we want, or we burn the town down.”] May-September 2020 (9,082 murders!!) = 2.7399 murders per 100,000 (That’s almost 4 Standard Deviations above the May-Sept 2000-2019 average. That’s a much bigger signal than the Mar/Apr comparison above) May-September 2021 (7,771) = 2.3403 (>1 SD above the 2000-19 average, did COVID cause it?) May-September 2022 (9,439) = 2.8322 (>4 Standard Deviations above the 2000-19 average, did COVID cause it?) May-September 2023 (8,321) = 2.4845 (>2 Standard Deviations above the 200-2019 average). Did COVID cause all those massive spikes in murder, which were much more pronounced if we begin in May (George Floyd Riots) instead of March (COVID plandemic insanity)? No, COVID-19 did not, it was the BLM spring/summer of riots, Ferguson Effect, Defund the Police, let’s get some for George Floyd. In conclusion, Sam Seder’s regurgitated talking point that COVID caused the spike in murder (which, from 2021-23, is still much higher than the 2009-19 average or 2017-2020 average) is fallacious, it’s B.S. If you listen to Sam Seder long enough, this becomes a common theme. Now for some data from years ago, covering the Defund The Police, Ferguson Effect. https://web.archive.org/web/20230801020040/https://professor_enigma.webs.com/covid-increase-homicides [BEGIN QUOTE] https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/when-police-pull-back-violent-crime-rises-data-shows-4332011 The drastic decline in proactive policing likely contributed to the nationwide spike in violent crime over the past two years, data show. The Epoch Times reviewed data for police stops—a classic proactive policing tactic—and violent crime for five cities, showing that, in many instances, when police stops dropped, violent crime rose and vice versa. In Minneapolis, data show that the number of officer-initiated stops dropped by 80 percent in June 2020, right after the George Floyd protests started. During that time, violent crime rose to a historic high. The same pattern was observed in four other cities that were examined: Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. Although violent crime typically rises in the summer, the drastic surge in 2020 was out of the ordinary for many locations. In Minneapolis between 2017 and 2019, the high points during the summer barely reached 400. Yet, in the summer of 2020, the high point jumped to almost 600. The Epoch Times follows the FBI definition of violent crime, which includes four major categories: murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Several reasons were said to be behind the historic surge in violent crime, such as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, firearm purchases, rising unemployment, and de-policing. University of Utah professor Paul Cassell examined those reasons and found de-policing to be the most plausible explanation, particularly for the homicide surge. Timewise, March 2020 was the month when pandemic restrictions started, firearm purchases peaked, and unemployment surged, Cassell said. Yet violent crime only started to jump significantly in June 2020, the very month that proactive policing dropped across cities, according to the data. Proactive policing can effectively reduce crime in the short term, especially in high-crime areas, according to a consensus study report by the National Academy of Sciences. The academy convened a panel of leading scholars to review decades of research on proactive policing and issued the report in 2017. For example, during police stops, officers might search a suspicious person (or the car) and find an illegal gun, thus preventing a gun-related crime. Or the stop might lead to the discovery of a warrant, and the suspect is arrested on the spot. Cassell called the phenomenon the “Minneapolis Effect,” where the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis triggered nationwide protests against police, which led to a great decline of proactive policing and a historic surge in homicide and shootings in 2020. He compared it to the “Ferguson Effect,” which is a theory used by some experts to explain a similar crime surge and unrest following the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. And: https://www.theepochtimes.com/violent-crime-surged-in-these-cities-after-mass-black-lives-matter-anti-police-protests_3806717.html Violent crime surged in several U.S. cities that saw massive Black Live Matter and anti-police protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death last summer. The upswing of violent crime, including homicides, coincided with the protests, increased anti-police sentiment among Americans and declining morale in police departments, which have since struggled to recruit new officers. The number of murders alone increased by 36.7% in 2020 compared to 2019, according to public information compiled by data analytics reporter Jeff Asher… Violent crime increased 17% in low-income communities and 30% in high-income neighborhoods in Minneapolis, the site of some of the earliest and most violent protests last year, the Star Tribune reported in September. Some neighborhoods experienced as much as 36% more violent crime. Homicides, assaults, shootings and robberies all ticked up, according to the Star Tribune. Overall, murder in the city increased 72.3% in 2020 compared to 2019, according to Asher… New York City also saw a steep increase in violent crime last summer, according to The New York Times. Between May and August, the New York Police Department reported 791 shootings, or 140% more than the same period in 2019, and 180 murders, a 51% increase compared to 2019, the NYT reported. By August and with four months remaining in the year, the city had already surpassed the number of shootings that occurred every year since 2015. Murder increased by 39.2% in 2020 compared to 2019 overall, according to Asher’s database. But, New York City officials approved a $1 billion cut to the city’s police department on June 30 after dozens of protests and riots. Protesters were filmed setting fires, destroying police cruisers and looting businesses in New York City during one of the riots… Chicago reported more than 500 homicides between January 2020 and August 2020, according to WTTW-TV. The number represented a sharp increase compared to 2019, which saw 495 murders through the entire year. “This has been an unprecedented year in policing, as coronavirus, civil unrest and violence have all converged in Chicago and in cities throughout the country,” Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said, WTTW reported. In the first eight months of 2020, shootings increased 52%, the number of shooting victims increased 56% and total homicides increased 49% compared to the same period in 2019, WTTW reported. Chicago concluded 2020 with a 55% total murder increase compared to 2019, according to Asher’s database. Meanwhile, after a series of riots and demonstrations, the local Chicago branch of Black Lives Matter warned Mayor Lori Lightfoot in August that violent protests would continue unless substantive changes were made, the Chicago Tribune reported. The group downplayed the destruction of businesses “owned by the wealthy.” […] [NOTE: I guess it didn’t matter that a lot of poor, Black Chicagoans shopped at those businesses owned by the wealthy] Lightfoot asked the Chicago city council to cut nearly $60 million from the police budget in October, according to CBS Chicago… In December, Washington, D.C., reached 187 homicides, the highest number of murders in the city since 2005, according to the Washingtonian. Homicides, assault from a dangerous weapon and motor vehicle theft all increased. Murders increased 19.4% overall in 2020 compared to 2019, according to Asher’s database. Former Metropolitan Police Department Chief Peter Newsham blamed the increase in crime to “repeat violent gun offenders being released back into our community,” the Washingtonian reported. Washington D.C. saw dozens of protests throughout the summer last year. In one June protest, tens of thousands gathered to demand greater police accountability, according to the Associated Press. The protest, in which police reported multiple fires and mass looting, required thousands of national guardsmen to help enforce a strict curfew that was ordered by city officials. Last year was Atlanta’s deadliest year in more than two decades, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The city reported 150 murders in 2020, a whopping 58% increase compared to 2019. “It’s ridiculous that now, even during this pandemic, we got more gun violence going on than ever before,” local activist Columbus Ward told the AJC. Atlanta experienced multiple protests throughout the summer last year, many of which led to mass violence, according to U.S. News and World Report. In some cases, protests left burned police cars and looted businesses in their wake. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms characterized one May 2020 protest as “chaos.” During the demonstration, people were seen looting and setting fires as they called for police reform. “In 2021, we cannot have a repeat of what’s going on this year,” Atlanta City Council President Felicia Moore said, according to the AJC. “And that’s going to mean addressing police accountability, but that’s also going to mean we have to support the police.” In June, Lance Bottoms promised that the city would continue to reallocate funds from police to “social services and community enhancement initiatives,” which she said the city had been doing for years, according to Reporter Newspapers. In conclusion, #blacklivesmatter Black Lives Matter was responsible for the increase in violent crime & homicide in these United States (in certain Democrat-run enclaves). It was not the COVID-19 plandemic lockdowns.

As the murder rate spiked (and in some cases, the violent crime rate was flat) the number of arrests plummeted. If there aren’t enough police or detectives to do the job & they’re not around the high-crime areas when those evil acts are committed, it’s less likely to be cleared. This was done on purpose. The FBI has yet AGAIN adjusted their murder figures (we’ll get to Aggravated Assault & Robbery later), I had two previous sets of data here https://rumble.com/v5hs2eb-lyin-brian-tyler-cohen-joe-biden-and-that-lowest-crime-ever-b.s..html (2000-23 only for that exercise) https://archive.is/4xPze https://archive.is/8xvMV & here’s the newest revision, https://archive.is/26Mqm https://archive.is/26Mqm/79160d64cbc1de1e1604336c91ccaad2e53d5a49.jpg https://archive.is/8Z8V7/ded6aec14a178717c5845bc424d96a2e36afceae.jpg featuring 1986-2023 (I understand the FBI has a lot of data to evaluate, but where are these changes from decades ago coming from? Another reason not to trust the “crime is down” troglodytes). We’ll use that to calculate a murder rate prior to & after the Bill Clinton crime bill, which was the main force (along w/ the proliferation of states allowing “constitutional carry” & “permit-less carry” among law-abiding citizens) for crime plummeting, not cellular devices. 1986-1989 murder rate (78,929 murders & 973,740,000 population) = 8.105 per 100,000 * 1990-1994 murder rate (115,327 murders & 1,282,163,000 population) = 8.994 per 100,000 * (Clinton Crime Bill) 1995-1998 murder rate (71,036 murders & 1,084,173,000 population) = 6.552 (For 5 consecutive years after that bill, the nominal number of murders declined) * 1999-2002 murder rate (60,021 murders & 1,134,098,000 population) = 5.292 * 2003-06 murder rate (64,531 murders & 1,177,718,000 population) = 5.479 * 2007-10 murder rate (62,791 murders & 1,221,707,538 population) = 5.139 * 2011-14 murder rate (57,460 murders & 1,259,682,587 population) = 4.561 * (Pre-George Floyd & COVID) 2015-2019 murder rate (83,765 murders & 1,623,489,037 population) = 5.159 * 2020-23 murder rate (80,696 murders & 1,331,700,231 population) = 6.059 per 100,000 Some other key time frames I’ll use for future reference: 2000-2023 murder rate (7,473,134,960 population & 394,904 murders) = 5.284 per 100,000 * 2009-2019 murder rate (3,498,924,162 population & 170,967 murders) = 4.886 * 2021-23 murder rate (1,000,235,283 population & 59,132 murders) = 5.911 [NOTE: I have murder data going back much further here >>> https://rumble.com/v2jcakg-sam-seder-is-brick-dumb-larry-elder-played-my-blm-call.html I also learned that the Census is not consistent in publishing population numbers, so they may differ a bit, I will stick to the sources I currently have. You dig through enough Census data & you will find out they’re not consistent, revisions are made] Now, let us tally the combined Aggravated Assault & Robbery rates (Rape definition has been revised, so I am not going there) for the same years I tallied Murder & see how the Clinton Crime Bill effected those metrics. You can see my previous data (prior to another FBI revision) here https://rumble.com/v5hs2eb-lyin-brian-tyler-cohen-joe-biden-and-that-lowest-crime-ever-b.s..html & here’s the new FBI data on that front. https://archive.is/lNHlB https://archive.is/YZCTY/76b7d56b825978032ecd9036aca9e95a2cc734df.jpg The 2021 data remains an outlier & bogus, I am throwing it out. 1986-89 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (973,740,000 population & 5,463,450 Aggravated Assault & Robbery) = 561 per 100,000 * 1990-94 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (8,487,648 Aggravated Assault/ Robbery & 1,282,163,000 population) = 661 per 100,000 * 1995-1998 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (1,084,173,000 population & 5,750,394 Aggravated Assault/Robbery) = 530 * 1999-2002 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (5,016,235 Aggravated Assault/Robbery & 1,134,098,000 population) = 442 * 2003-06 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (1,177,718,000 population & 4,947,122 Aggravated Assault/Robbery) = 420 * 2007-10 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (1,221,707,538 population & 4,881,886 Aggravated Assault/Robbery) = 400 * 2011-14 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (1,259,682,587 population & 4,291,827 Robbery/Aggravated Assault) = 341 * 2015-19 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (1,623,489,037 population & 5,427,863 Robbery/Aggravated Assault) = 334 * 2020, 2022-23 Aggravated Assault Rate (3,311,617 Robbery/Aggravated Assault & 999,651,254 population) = 331 Some other key time frames I’ll use for future reference: 2000-2020, 2022-23 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (7,141,085,983 population & 26,641,654 Aggravated Assault/Robbery) = 373 per 100,000 * 2009-2019 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate (3,498,924,162 population & 12,052,228 Aggravated Assault/Robbery) = 344 * 2022-23 Aggravated Assault/Robbery rate = (668,186,306 population & 2,191,386 Aggravated Assault/Robbery) = 328 I believe the Clinton Crime Bill, as well as the proliferation of concealed carry laws were the factors driving crime down, not cellular devices (although they probably had a small, net positive effect). I would do a monthly tally of Aggravated Assault/Robbery as I did w/ murder, but considering those crimes have been steadily declining (fewer peaks & valleys than we see w/ murder) for decades & the entire 2021 dataset is garbage, I’m NOT going to tally that. If the FBI corrects this error, I may do it in the future. If there was a signal in there, a spike in Aggravated Assault/Robbery (and don’t forget, many cities saw violent crime stay flat post-George Floyd, but murder was spiking) – that spike would not be because of COVID-19, but the George Floyd riots instead. In conclusion, Sam Seder is a moron who was repeating talking points that were regurgitated from the Media Industrial Complex echo chamber a million times & he did it too. He’s not a trailblazer & he’s not that bright, he just has a lot of free time to enjoy daddy’s trust fund, while sitting on his fat ass regurgitating ridiculous talking points & “reading the news.” Sam Seder lies so much (or he’s a victim of his own ignorance), I wouldn’t believe him if his tongue were notarized. *** Tim Pool says that cellular phones/cell phones contributed to the decline in crime & I tend to agree w/ that in theory, but the proliferation of cellular phones/cellular devices {X} coincides w/ the Bill Clinton era crime bill (Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994), which was one of the main reasons the murder rate started plummeting. https://www.congress.gov/103/statute/STATUTE-108/STATUTE-108-Pg1796.pdf https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/3355/text https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/3355/all-actions {X} Cell phone proliferation data https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250022279_Cellular_Tower_Proliferation_in_the_United_States Thomas A. Wikle’s data indicates that when the Clinton Crime Bill was signed into law, there weren’t even 20,000 cell towers in these United States, but by 2001 it had increased 6-fold, so you can see how the Clinton Crime Bill & cell phone penetration coincide. Today, https://www.statista.com/statistics/521985/telecom-towers-in-the-united-states/ https://wia.org/wireless-infrastructure-by-the-numbers-2022-key-statistics/ https://www.lightreading.com/digital-transformation/us-cell-towers-and-small-cells-by-the-numbers there are 134,000 (or more) cell towers in operation. From Wikle’s essay: “Forecasts in the late 1990s suggested that 100,000 cellular telephone towers would be in place by 2010; by the end of 2001 that count had already been exceeded.” In 1992, there were <10 million Cell Phone Subscribers in these United States (according to Wikle) & by 2000 it had grown to 100 million. This dataset https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/number-of-subscriber-mobile largely concurs w/ that. The number of cell phone subscribers effectively doubled from 2000 to 2006 & the murder rate had begun falling like a rock in 1995! See https://api.ctia.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2024_CTIA-Survey-Summary-and-Background.pdf for more data on that front. From 2003 to 2011, it effectively doubled again! https://api.ctia.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/CL_Dec-2023.pdf “Overall U.S. mobile wireless traffic grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 55 percent between 2010 and 2022 and overall U.S. mobile subscribers grew at a compound annual rate of approximately five percent between 2010 and 2022… Since 1996, the number of subscribers has increased by more than 800 percent, substantially exceeding overall population growth. Wireless minutes of use (MOU) increased by more than 4,600 percent. The number of cell sites has increased by more than 700 percent. All while the average revenue per user (ARPU) has declined by 58 percent over this time period (in real terms)… As Table 1 below makes clear, on a variety of objective measures, the mobile wireless industry has evolved significantly compared to when Congress enacted the ’96 Act. For example, by any reasonable measure, output has increased substantially. The number of subscribers has increased by more than 800 percent, substantially exceeding overall population growth (the penetration rate has increased by more than 650 percent). Moreover, the intensity of usage has also increased, with wireless minutes of use (MOU) increasing by more than 4,600 percent. Because mobile data was largely non-existent in 1996, growth rates in data usage are even higher. Increases in output were driven in part by increasing quality and decreasing prices, both of which came about because of substantial investment in networks. This investment led to networks that were both denser and offered greater coverage. For example, the number of active cell sites has increased by more than 700 percent.” More data if you want it https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/fact-sheet/mobile/ The wireless industry was still in its infancy in 1997, the murder rate began declining in 1995 – so while I believe Tim Pool is right, cellular devices did contribute to the decline in crime, it was just a footnote (e.g. Dennis Rader/BTK often cut the phone lines in a home before doing his evil deeds, today he would need a device that knocks out cell signals). The lion’s share of the credit goes to the Bill Clinton Crime Bill (which was not perfect, I don’t think we should throw non-violent cannabis smokers in prison) & states allowing their law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons. Now we turn to the https://www.census.gov/library/publications/time-series/statistical_abstracts.html Census Bureau & its Statistical Abstracts Series. https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/1997/compendia/statab/117ed/tables/communic.pdf https://www.census.gov/library/publications/1997/compendia/statab/117ed.html The number of “cell sites” increased from 4,169 in 1989 to 30,045 in 1996. That is a massive increase, but keep in mind that cell penetration still had a very long way to go. In 1989 there 3,509,000 “subscribers” & by 1996 it had grown to 44,043,000 (~16% of the population). While those metrics were increasing massively, the murder rate continued to skyrocket, until 1995. https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2002/compendia/statab/122ed/tables/infocom.pdf https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2002/compendia/statab/122ed.html By 2001, the number of subscribers was 128,375,000 (~45% of the population, effectively) & cell sites expanded to 127,540. https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2006/compendia/statab/126ed.html https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2006/compendia/statab/126ed/tables/infocomm.pdf By 2005, the number of subscribers has spiked to 207,896,000 (>70% of the population, assuming no person had multiple subscriptions) & cell sites were now 183,689. You can see the mammoth growth in this industry that was barely a blip in the early 1990s, it is truly amazing. Don’t forget that some pukes in the government saw this as a new way to surveille the population sans their consent. https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2011/compendia/statab/131ed.html https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2011/compendia/statab/131ed/tables/infocomm.pdf In 2010, subscribers were now 302,859,000 (~98% of the population) & cell sites increased to 253,086. I gave you numerous sources & I like to do that because it cements your evidence a lot better than just cherry-picking one source of information. Even the reduction of lead didn’t have much to do with the decline in crime, it was the Bill Clinton Crime Bill, passed by Congress https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/gasoline/gasoline-and-the-environment-leaded-gasoline.php https://www.epa.gov/archive/epa/aboutepa/epa-takes-final-step-phaseout-leaded-gasoline.html By the time the Clinton Crime Bill was passed, all the people who were adults were already exposed to “high” levels of lead, people who were children in 1973 were not adults yet, so the reduction in lead had little to do w/ it, despite what the ferret-faced clown says

Divorcee Sam Seder says COVID-19 caused crime (Debunked PART II) Population Data https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/popest/2010s-counties-total.html https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-counties-total.html This video is a follow-up to https://rumble.com/v6r43mu-sam-seder-is-fake-news-crime-is-down-crime-up-because-of-covid.html & I’m going to go further in debunking the creepy, bipolar old man Sam Seder #samseder #majorityreport when he lied & said crime was up because of COVID-19. [NOTE: I also debunked the talking point that crime was down to 50-year lows under Joe Biden https://rumble.com/v5hs2eb-lyin-brian-tyler-cohen-joe-biden-and-that-lowest-crime-ever-b.s..html that was also a steaming pile of dung] Not true old man, not true. See the playlist https://rumble.com/playlists/a4bmS3taTSY as well, it dovetails w/ this. Let’s start w/ Texas & do the same exercise I did before, comparing March & April murder rates for various years versus May-September & see what we can see on the state level (and maybe county, depending on how far down this rabbit hole I want to go. In addition, a state has to have good data going back a bit & by month). [NOTE: George Floyd assumed room temperature on 5/25/20 & the very next day protests were already going full-force, morons who don’t give a dang (and don’t know about) all the black folks getting murdered in Democrat enclaves across the country were blocking streets & engaging in general unrest, hoping to intimidate America into doing what they want. On 5/28/20 the great unwashed set a police precinct in Minneapolis on fire, hoping to burn alive the LEOs inside. They want to take your guns away & get rid of the police so they can murder their political opponents or try to. We will not let that happen. This is why I am including the month of May in the post-George Floyd months. In addition, CHOP/CHAZ was going strong in Seattle (early June). If that happened in Iowa, the Sheriff & State Patrol would clear it out in an hour, or the locals would] [NOTE: This data is interactive, so it may *CHANGE* in the future. Don’t come complaining to me if you run this data 2 years from now & there are a few more or less murders in a given time frame. However, since I am ending the analysis in 2023, it’s doubtful that it will change a lot] https://txucr.nibrs.com/SRSReport/CrimeTrends I would recommend downloading the Excel. Murder & Non-Negligent Homicide only! From 2010-19, Texas had cumulative population of 271,624,556 & 2,057 murders in the * MONTHS of MARCH & APRIL. * That is a cumulative murder rate of 0.757 per 100,000. (Here are the murder rates by year (March/April) from 2010-19: 0.755, 0.760, 0.701, 0.653, 0.649, 0.742, 0.849, 0.819, 0.880, 0.744 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.0731) For March/April 2020, TX had 310 murders & with a 29,149,458 population, that’s a murder rate of 1.063 per 100,000. That’s >4 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. The mentally ill divorcee will probably say again, “A-ha, that proves it, COVID-19 caused the spike in crime.” Not so fast groomer, not so fast. For March/April 2021, TX had a population of 29,570,351 & 315 murders. That’s a murder rate of 1.065 per 100,000. Almost exactly the same as the previous year. Despite the vaccine rollout, COVID-19 was still causing murder to spike (yes, I am being facetious)! >4SD above the 2010-19 average. I thought, “Crime was down?” I guess not! For March/April 2022, TX had a population of 30,113,488 & 328 murders. That’s a murder rate of 1.089 per 100,000. Even higher than either of the previous two years! Despite the vaunted Coof “vaccine” rollout, murder was still surging in TX, March/April. I think the vaccine caused it (again, being facetious)! And again, “crime is down,” right? >4SD above the 2010-19 average. For March/April 2023, TX had a population of 30,727,890 & 304 murders – a rate of 0.989 per 100,000. That’s still >3 Standard Deviations above our 2010-19 baseline. Now, let’s tally May-September 2010-19 murders in TX & compare w/ the following years & see what we find. I’m using May as that’s when the George “Fentanyl” Floyd riots began. From 2010-19, Texas had a cumulative population of 271,624,556 & 5,533 murders in the * MONTHS of MAY through SEPTEMBER. That is a cumulative average murder rate of 2.037 per 100,000. (Here are the murder rates by year (May-September) from 2010-19: 2.199, 1.820, 1.913, 2.031, 1.828, 2.049, 2.432, 1.950, 1.991, 2.134 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.1754) For May-September 2020 TX had a population of 29,149,458 & 801 murders – a rate of 2.747 per 100,000. That’s >4 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. How about them apples? For May-September 2021 TX had a population of 29,570,351 & 907 murders – a rate of 3.067 murders per 100,000. That’s just a tad short of 6 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. Must be COVID-19 causing it, right? And again, the “crime is down” B.S. is just that, B.S. For May-September 2022 TX had a population of 30,113,488 & 953 murders – a rate of 3.164 per 100,000. That is >6 standard deviations above the 2010-19 average, must be COVID-19 right? For May-September 2023 TX had a population of 30,727,890 & 827 murders – a rate of 2.691 per 100,000. That’s >3 standard deviations above the 2010-19 average. As you can see, the spikes in murder are much more pronounced in the May-September time frames than March/April. In addition, if COVID-19 caused it (and it’s the same scenario when I examined national data) then we would likely see a drop in 2021 & later, that did not happen nationally or in Texas. Sam Seder could also admit the COVID-19 “vaccines” were a fail, but a sociopath rarely admits an error. The spike in murder back in 2020 coincides much better w/ the riots connected to career criminal George Floyd, who would still be alive had he been straight that day & not strung out on chemicals. Let’s examine a few Texas counties that lean Groomercrat, starting w/ TRAVIS COUNTY: For 2010-19, TRAVIS COUNTY had a population of 11,591,395 & 66 murders * in the MONTHS of March & April. * That’s a murder rate of 0.569 per 100,000. (Here are the murder rates by year (March/April) from 2010-19: 0.976, 0.565, 0.547, 0.623, 0.173, 0.593, 0.414, 0.733, 0.721, 0.392 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.2077) For March/April 2020 Travis County had a population of 1,290,151 & 9 murders – a murder rate of 0.697 per 100,000. That’s within one Standard Deviation of the 2010-19 March/April average. Tough luck for the divorcee Sam Seder. For March/April 2021 Travis County had a population of 1,309,113 & 17 murders – a murder rate of 1.298 per 100,000. That’s >3 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average, must be COVID-19 causing that, right ferret face? For March/April 2022 Travis County had a population of 1,332,544 & 14 murders – a murder rate of 1.050 per 100,000. That is >2 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 Mar/Apr average. Did Covid cause that? Don’t forget, “crime is down”, allegedly. For March/April 2023 Travis County had a population of 1,348,043 & 9 murders – a rate of 0.667 per 100,000. That is within the Mar/Apr 2010-19 average, back to “normal.” This Mar/Apr exercise proves Sam Seder wrong, let’s examine May-September now. For 2010-19, Travis County had a population of 11,591,395 & 178 murders * in the MONTHS MAY-SEPTEMBER. * That’s a murder rate of 1.535 per 100,000. (Here are the murder rates by year (May-September) from 2010-19: 1.854, 1.412, 1.185, 1.247, 0.867, 0.678, 2.570, 1.547, 1.684, 1.491 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.5032) For May-September 2020 Travis County had a population of 1,290,151 & 20 murders – a rate of 1.550 per 100,000. That’s also within one standard deviation of the 2010-19 May-Sept average. Travis County is bucking the national trend a bit. For May-September 2021 Travis County had a population of 1,309,113 & 40 murders – a rate of 3.055 per 100,000. That’s >3 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 May-Sept average. Hey Sam Seder, crime is down? If he says, “it’s down in most places,” I’ll point out that is always the case. Crime has always been concentrated in this country. For May-September 2022 Travis County had a population of 1,332,544 & 33 murders – a rate of 2.476 per 100,000. That’s almost 2 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. From May-September 2023 Travis County had a population of 1,348,043 & 24 murders – a rate of 1.780 per 100,000 (within 1SD of the 2010-19 average). Travis County’s data Mar/Apr & May-Sept dovetail pretty good w/ each other but lend no help to the mentally ill Sam Seder in his quest to “prove” COVID-19 caused the spike in crime. Uh, no. Let’s look at DALLAS COUNTY now. For 2010-19, Dallas County had a population of 25,271,000 & 315 murders * in the MONTHS OF MARCH & APRIL * a rate of 1.246 per 100,000. (Here are the murder rates by year (March & April) from 2010-19: 1.562, 1.453, 0.895, 1.448, 1.071, 0.860, 1.196, 1.259, 1.483, 1.252 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.2335) For March/April 2020 Dallas County had a population of 2,611,995 & 38 murders – a rate of 1.454 per 100,000. Within one Standard Deviation of the 2010-19 average. For March/April 2021 Dallas County had a population of 2,589,162 & 45 murders – a rate of 1.738 per 100,000. >2 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. Did COVID cause that a year later Sam Seder? For March/April 2022 Dallas County had a population of 2,613,712 & 47 murders – a rate of 1.798 per 100,000. >2 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. Did COVID cause that 2 years later Sam Seder? For March/April 2023 Dallas County had a population of 2,636,254 & 62 murders – a rate of 2.351 per 100,000. I guess murder isn’t down in Dallas County, is it? >4 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. Must be the COVID-19 hangover, eh Sam Seder? For 2010-2019, Dallas County had a population of 25,271,000 & 880 murders * in the MONTHS MAY-SEPTEMBER * a rate of 3.482 per 100,000. (Here are the murder rates by year (May-September) from 2010-19: 3.631, 3.279, 3.257, 3.541, 2.183, 3.518, 4.283, 3.091, 3.346, 4.629 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.6272) For May-September 2020 Dallas County had a population of 2,611,995 & 135 murders – a rate of 5.168 per 100,000. That’s >2 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. I guess COVID-19 caused that? For May-September 2021 Dallas County had a population of 2,589,162 & 126 murders – a rate of 4.866 per 100,000. That’s >2 Standard Deviations above the 2010-19 average. I guess that retard Sam Seder thinks COVID-19 caused that too?

Let’s look at the great state of Iowa now, shall we? https://icrime.dps.state.ia.us/CrimeInIowa/Report/CrimeTrends Unfortunately, Iowa’s data only goes back to 2016, but I will have 4 years prior to 2020 to compare data with & that will be good enough. From 2016-19, Iowa had a cumulative population of 12,576,609 & 50 murders in the *MONTHS of MARCH & APRIL*. That’s a rate of 0.397 per 100,000 (Here are the yearly murder rates (March/April) 2016-19: 0.383, 0.541, 0.285, 0.380 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.0919) Iowa population 2020 (March/April) was 3,190,546 & 15 murders – a rate of 0.470 per 100,000 – that is within 1 SD of the 2016-19 average. Iowa population (March/April 2021) was 3,198,613 & 14 murders – a rate of 0.437 per 100,000. That’s within 1 SD of the 2016-19 average. Iowa population (March/April 2022) was 3,202,820 & 10 murders – a rate of 0.312 per 100,000. That’s within 1 SD of the 2016-19 average.

From 2016-19, Iowa had a cumulative population of 12,576,609 & 118 murders in the *MONTHS of MAY through SEPTEMBER.* That’s a rate of 0.938 per 100,000 (Here are the yearly murder rates (May-Sept) 2016-19: 0.734, 1.400, 0.762, 0.855 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.2706) Iowa (May-Sept) 2020 population was 3,190,546 & 54 murders – a rate of 1.692 per 100,000 – that’s >2 SD above the 2016-2019 average.

All that data from Iowa disproves Sam Seder’s parroted contention. Iowa is an important barometer because it is a low murder rate state & proves again that the spike in murder post-George Floyd was mostly in areas that are already problem jurisdictions. Not that some lower murder rate areas didn’t see an increase, but it wasn’t rural western Iowa driving the murder increase, it was places like Chicago & Baltimore.

The COVID-19 “vaccines” were so ineffective, it was still causing a massive murder spike 2 years later! Arizona (May-Sept) had a 2023 population of 7,473,027 &187 murders – a rate of 2.502 per 100,000 – which is >4SD above the 2017-19 average. MARICOPA COUNTY had a cumulative 2017-19 population of 13,215,001 & 109 murders * in the MONTHS MARCH & APRIL * – a rate of 0.824 per 100,000 (Here are the yearly murder rates (March/April) 2017-19: 0.970, 0.772, 0.735 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.1032) Maricopa County had a (March/April) 2020 population of 4,425,315 & 43 murders – a rate of 0.971 per 100,000 – which is >1SD above the 2017-19 average. Maricopa County had a (March/April) 2021 population of 4,500,147 & 49 murders – a rate of 1.088 per 100,000 – which is >2SD above the 2017-19 average. Maricopa County had a (March/April) 2022 population of 4,564,457 & 60 murders – a rate of 1.314 per 100,000 – which is >4SD above the 2017-19 average. COVID-19 still ravaging AZ? Maricopa County had a (March/April) 2023 population of 4,615,625 & 58 murders – a rate of 1.256 per 100,000 – which is >4SD above the 2017-19 average. The murder spike across AZ statewide was much more pronounced than the spike in Maricopa. MARICOPA COUNTY had a cumulative 2017-19 population of 13,215,001 & 287 murders * in the MONTHS MAY through SEPTEMBER * – a rate of 2.171 per 100,000 (Here are the yearly murder rates (May-Sept) 2017-19: 2.334, 2.203, 1.984 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.1444) Maricopa County had a (May-Sept) 2020 population of 4,425,315 & 128 murders – a rate of 2.892 per 100,000 – which is >4SD above (almost 5) the 2017-19 average. Maricopa County had a (May-Sept) 2021 population of 4,500,147 & 133 murders – a rate of 2.955 per 100,000 – which is >5SD above the 2017-19 average. Maricopa County had a (May-Sept) 2022 population of 4,564,457 & 135 murders – a rate of 2.957 per 100,000 – which is >5SD above the 2017-19 average. Maricopa County had a (May-Sept) 2023 population of 4,615,625 & 119 murders – a rate of 2.578 per 100,000 – which is >2SD above the 2017-19 average. AZ statewide had a massive murder spike after George Floyd & it was much more pronounced outside Maricopa. IF COVID had caused this, one would expect it to taper off, but it got worse in 2021 & 2022. I will conclude that Sam Seder is functionally retarded mouth-breather. Let’s try another state! MAINE https://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/media-center/homicide-lists [NOTE: I did some cross-checking to see how multiple sources compare. If you look at https://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/sites/maine.gov.dps.msp/files/inline-files/2023%20Crime%20In%20Maine%20Final_2.pdf it says 60 VICTIMS of murder/non-negligent manslaughter but this https://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/media-center/homicide-lists/2023-homicides says 53 VICTIMS. I’m going w/ the latter as some charges have likely been reduced to “negligent manslaughter” later or something else unforeseen. If you compare the 2022 report https://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/sites/maine.gov.dps.msp/files/inline-files/Crime%20in%20Maine%202022.pdf (28 murders) w/ the homicide list (29 murders) https://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/media-center/homicide-lists/2022-homicides there is also a discrepancy. The latter also comes out first and perusing those lists indicates that they do in fact, go back & edit these for accuracy. If you hit up the PDFS & look up the previous number of VICTIMS for murder/non-negligent manslaughter they will publish some the tally for the previous year for various offenses, including murder. This will change the previous years’ data, but you don’t get where the MONTHLY totals changed. I just wanted to let you know that before delving into this. I would go for a longer time frame, but this old school data takes a lot longer] MAINE had a cumulative 2014-19 population of 8,007,973 & 18 murders * in the MONTHS MARCH & APRIL * – a rate of 0.224 per 100,000 (Here are the (March/April) murder rates 2014-19: 0.075, 0.075, 0.225, 0.149, 0.373, 0.446 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.1423) Maine (March/April) had a 2020 population of 1,363,196 & 1 murder – a rate of 0.073 per 100,000 – which is >1SD BELOW the 2014-19 average. Maine (March/April) had a 2021 population of 1,378,931 & 1 murder – a rate of 0.072 per 100,000 – which is >1SD BELOW the 2014-19 average. Maine (March/April) had a 2022 population of 1,390,922 & 4 murders – a rate of 0.287 per 100,000 – which is within the 2014-19 average. Maine (March/April) had a 2023 population of 1,399,646 & 6 murders – a rate of 0.428 per 100,000 – which is >1SD above the 2014-19 average. I guess Maine didn’t get the memo, COVID should’ve caused Democrat voters to go out & start killing indiscriminately. MAINE had a cumulative 2014-19 population of 8,007,973 & 48 murders * in the MONTHS MAY through SEPTEMBER * – a rate of 0.599 per 100,000 (Here are the yearly (May-Sept) murder rates 2014-19: 0.751, 0.978, 0.450, 0.524, 0.373, 0.520 * Population Standard Deviation = 0.2049) Maine (May-Sept) had a 2020 population of 1,363,196 & 7 murders – a rate of 0.513 per 100,000 – which is within 1SD of the 2014-19 average. [NOTE: The Maine Homicide report for 2021 https://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/media-center/homicide-lists/2021-homicides included a murder that occurred in 2020 & the indictment in 2021. I moved it to the 2020 column!] Maine (May-Sept) had a 2021 population of 1,378,931 & 10 murders – a rate of 0.725 per 100,000 – which is within 1SD of the 2014-19 average. Maine (May-Sept) had a 2022 population of 1,390,922 & 12 murders – a rate of 0.862 per 100,000 – which is >1SD above the 2014-19 average. Maine (May-Sept) had a 2023 population of 1,399,646 & 10 murders – a rate of 0.714 per 100,000 – which is within 1SD of the 2014-19 average. To reiterate: I would do more states, but either their data is unreliable as more entities move to NIBRS from UCR, they don’t have reliable monthly murder data, or they don’t have a wide swath of data. I did include two entities (RI, AZ) that only went back to 2017, just for the heck of it. I would prefer at least 4 years prior to 2020. In conclusion, murder has always been concentrated in this country, never really spread out, so if the murder rate spikes or craters, it’s mostly because the usual suspects (typically urban counties run by Democrats, although you will find a lot of rural counties down South that are veritable war zones) have seen a decline or increase. This is why I went to statewide data & county data, to demonstrate in most cases, the spike was much more pronounced after the Fentanyl Floyd riots & continued years later, it had little to do w/ COVID. Sam Seder calls himself a “news junkie” (which is a nice way of saying he sits on his ass in his small apartment reading “the news” all day because he’s a loser w/ a trust fund to fall back on), but I think he should put down “the news” for a few years & do some meat-and-potatoes reading & research. He was just parroting another talking point that was fed to him, which is typical. He’s not a trailblazer, he’s just another echo chamber that makes an occasional appearance on MSLSD shows that are seeing their ratings tank & then he goes to his little studio to do a 3-hour show w/ Irma Vegetable, I mean Emma Vigeland that nobody watches on Rumble.
