September 2021 marked the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. It was a somber occasion, as millions of Americans looked back on one of the worst atrocities in American history, and that calamitous foreign policy America embarked on in response to it.
Revolver writes “one of” the worst atrocities, because there are deeds that killed far more Americans than 9/11 did. In fact, America is living through one of those atrocities right now. Newly-released FBI numbers confirm something that has been apparent for the last year: The Black Lives Matter movement is the deadliest entirely-preventable atrocity inflicted on the American public in the past two decades.
On first hearing, that might sound preposterous. But it’s not. The human cost of the Black Lives Matter movement has been worse than 9/11, worse than the War on Terror, worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than every spree shooting in American history combined. And the very government that enabled so much of BLM’s carnage has produced the numbers to prove it.
On Monday, the FBI released its official tally for homicides in the U.S. for the year 2020. The numbers confirm what was obvious even before last year ended: 2020 was the worst explosion of murder in American history, and it wasn’t close.
The United States in 2020 experienced the biggest rise in murder since the start of national record-keeping in 1960, according to data gathered by the F.B.I. for its annual report on crime.
The Uniform Crime Report will stand as the official word on an unusually grim year, detailing a rise in murder of around 29 percent. The previous largest one-year change was a 12.7 percent increase in 1968. [NYT]
That 29% increase amounts to just under five thousand additional murders in 2020 compared to the year before. MORE
The what anniversary?

How unfortunate for the Revolver writer to make such a BONE-HEAD MISTAKE in the lede. I’ll have to come back later to try to read the article with an objective eye. Not possible right now.
p.s. They have changed “tenth” to “twentieth” since the time MJA copied the text, but still…!
“five thousand additional murders”
That’s almost five times the population of Congress.
As usual, the wrong people end up dead.
(Oh, and ten points if you catch the math error.)
No need for a full 10 points.
I’ll settle for 9.3458 points! (-:
But January 6 was the worst ever if you listen to the criminal liberals
Great blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew
of any community forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article?
I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get feed-back from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Appreciate it!
Math is hard🥴
“The reasons for the rise may never be fully sorted out, but analysts have pointed to many possible contributing factors, including various pandemic stresses; increased distrust between the police and the public after the murder of George Floyd, including a pullback by the police in response to criticism; and increased firearm carrying. [NYT]”
ARE WORDS EVER REMOVED FROM THE DICTIONARY?? FOR EXAMPLE: “JOURNALISM”???
Math is easy.
It’s the Maff that’s hard!
@Antidote
Math is hard – that’s why Math is raycist
Well, that’s that, no more FBI crime reports.
Cancelled because systemic racism.
