The city of Baltimore is back in the news again due to the tweet storm between President Trump and Representative Elijah Cummings. Let's focus on this specific debate and discuss the conditions of our large urban centers and what has happened to them.
The Black Lives Matter movement became prominent in 2014 over the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York City. It became a very powerful movement during the last few years of the Obama administration. Let's assess the results in a few cities.
1) Baltimore: The murder rate exploded in 2015, the year of Freddie Gray and the riots.
Year | Murders | Rate
2013 233 37.4
2014 211 33.8
2015 344 55.4
2016 318 51.4
2017 343 57.8
2018 309 50.5
The Baltimore riots occurred on April 27, 2015 and there is a sharp increase in homicides right after this point.
2) St Louis: The murder rate exploded in 2014, the year of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
Year | Murders
2013 120
2014 159
2015 188
2016 188
2017 205
3) Chicago: The murder rate exploded in 2016, the year after Laquan McDonald and the ACLU victories over the CPD.
Year | Murders
2013 421
2014 416
2015 485
2016 764
2017 650
2018 555
Note: The murder rate in Chicago jumped 57 percent in one year, 2016!
In 2015, the U.S. experienced the largest single year increase in its homicide rate since 1990, according to the most recently available data from the FBI.3 In that year, cities like Baltimore, Milwaukee, and Washington, D.C. saw their homicide rates grow at least as fast as Chicago’s did in 2016.

The total number of homicides nationally in 2016 was 20% higher than in 2014. This increase was primarily concentrated in a few urban areas. So there was an additional 4,450 murders over the base year of 2014. This is more than the number of Americans killed on 9/11 and roughly the same as the number of Americans killed in Iraq.
This sudden and sharp increase in the murder rate has been dubbed the Ferguson effect, the Black Lives Matter effect or simply Late Obama Age collapse. It is a striking indication of what happens when the Left takes over and subverts law enforcement.
But who was held accountable for this disaster? No one as far as I can tell. The Left will call you a "racist" for simply pointing this out. Trump deserves credit for not bowing to the outrage mob.
The wages of Liberalism is death.
