It’s a trend we forecast in March when politicians began locking down economies to fight the COVID War: “RISE IN CRIME,” and it’s spreading across America.
Homicides in Boston have jumped 54 percent from last year, the Boston Globe reported. The paper reported that shootings are also up in the city along with gun-related arrests.
The “experts” who didn’t see it coming are now blaming dire economic conditions that are taking a toll on young people who are out of work, out of school… and out of luck.
Brother Donnell Singleton, who works for SOAR Boston, told the paper that a high unemployment rate in the young community has also contributed to the feeling of desperation.
“If you’re homeless, you’ll do almost anything to keep a roof over your head, including being a triggerman or being a drug dealer,” he told the paper. The paper also spoke to Rev. Eugene F. Rivers, a religious leader, who said “extreme poverty” is impacting young people.
“You have a few thousand idle, extremely poor kids,” Rivers told the paper. “And hopelessness is a factor.”
TRENDPOST: For the first time in a decade, Los Angeles hit the 300-homicide mark; Chicago has had 700 homicides and 3,000 shootings, which mark a 50 percent increase through the first 11 months of the year; New York City has experienced a 95 percent increase in shootings compared to 2019, and a 38 percent increase in homicides.
The extent of the damage caused by the coronavirus is not yet known, but the Trends Journal has warned that the subsequent lockdowns would lead to an epidemic of despair among the young and old.
Knowing at the onset of the COVID War in February that crime would dramatically escalate, we added our “Survivalism” column as an essential element of the Trends Journal.
In a society that teaches children to hide in “no bullying zones” if they are being picked on and politicians and the media selling the myth that the police are there to protect you – as though you can call 911 when your life is in instant danger by a murderer, rapist, thief, etc. – the fight has been drained from the human spirit.
In close combat Survivalism, unlike most forms of martial arts, there are no forms to follow… other than the one you were born with, which, from kindergarten through adulthood, “the establishment” has brainwashed out of the human spirit.
