Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

AI Overview

As of September 2, 2025, the Chicago murder rate remains a concern, with 278 people slain so far in the year, though this is 118 fewer than the same period in 2024. While specific data is still being compiled and reported, initial trends indicate a decline, with some reports showing a 32% decrease in homicides by early August compared to the previous year. The overall trend for the first half of 2025 showed violent crime plummeting, but the rate of decline has slowed in the summer months.

While Albany, GA, was once labeled the "Murder Capital of America" in the late 20th century, its murder rate has significantly decreased since then, though specific current data is not available in the provided snippets. One source indicates the city has a high overall crime rate, with a rate of 71.38 crimes per 1,000 residents, placing it in the 8th percentile for safety nationally, meaning 92% of cities are safer.
Both democratically run.

Also of note since I’m in the area often- If SWGA had a murder problem that’s wasn’t just gangbangers shooting gangbangers, I’d absolutely want the national guard there.
