In 2022, approximately 21,000 Americans were murdered.
That was down from approximately 22,000 in 2021 and 2020.
In 2018 and 2019, there were almost 17,000 homicides each year.
In fact, since 1990 (we can reasonably assume a substantial majority of those 16 and older who committed homicides in 1990 are still alive unless killed by the government, and thus, "living in America" ), there have been more than 600,000 homicides in the U.S. While some of those may be repeaters, there are still likely more than half a million good ol', native born, 100% real Amurrican murderers living in America.
A couple of interesting facts: Statistics on how many homicide CONVICTIONS (numbers) were adjudicated between 1990 and 2022 are, to say the least, difficult to find, in spite of the many assertions by DoJ and state statistics bureaus that "rates of conviction" (percentages) are increasing.
Also, during the period 1990 - 2022, numbers of murders in America peaked in 1993 at 24,530, then dropped sharply over the subsequent seven years of a Democratic Presidential Administration, to a low of 15,586 in 2000.
Murder rates went up again overall between 2001 and 2008, during a GOP Presidential Administration although they did not return to the pre-1993 levels.
And during the Democratic Presidential Administration between 2009 and 2016, murders went generally down, reaching their lowest number for the whole period in 2014 with 14,220, when they started trending upward again, reaching (during a GOP Presidential Administration again) about 18,000 in 2017, and nearly 17,000 each year in 2018 and 2019, and then spiking to over 22,000 in 2020.
The pandemic numbers were high, but since 2022 the numbers have been dropping.
I sincerely doubt that the 13,000 skeery immigrants can even begin to compete with our own home-grown slaughter maniacs, frankly.
And I definitely feel safer during Democratic Presidential Administrations... the numbers reflect that safety.
Of course, none of America's brilliant Fourth Estate will do any kind of actual coverage of these realities. Look for the xenophobia screamfests to begin in 3..2.. oh, wait, they're already rolling.
