Bloomberg Cities Make Top 50 List for World's 'Most Violent'
"As for the U.S. cities that made the list, they also share undeniable commonalities. For instance, they're all dominated by Democrats. They all champion "progressive" policies. And every single one of them has been an enthusiastic member of Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns (Note that Detroit no longer appears on the MAIG site, but former Mayor Dave Bing was a "leader" in Bloomberg's Michigan coalition.)"
"The list doesn't just include Latin America, with U.S. cities St Louis, Baltimore, Detroit and New Orleans also featuring," the report explains. As far as world rankings go, those cities rank, they come in at numbers 15, 19, 28 and 32 respectively."
"Some will no doubt be tempted to point out another demographic similarity, but we need to exercise caution on that, not fall into the collectivist trap of judging individual worth based on bigotry (like, say, "progressive feminist " icon Margaret Sanger), and look at the effect "social justice" policies have on those subjected to them for generations. Unarguably, some populations have been more directly impacted by a continuing history of destructive government policies than others, and that's where the focus ought to be."
