Violence is omnipresent in American society these days.

4. Monroe, LA
5. Baton Rouge, LA
6. Springfield, MO
7. St. Louis, MO

14. New York City, NY
15. Atlanta, GA
16. Baltimore, MD
17. Cincinnati, OH
18. Dayton, OH
19. Beaumont, TX
20. Minneapolis, MN

NOTE:  these are just the main cities where crimes are taking place...  there are dozens more where crimes are increasing over the previous years...

Why do we have these increases in crime?

Why to we allow these increases in crime to take place?
Has the BLM Movement caused these crimes to increase?

Has Defunding the police caused these crimes to increase?

Has the SECOND AMENDMENT caused these crimes to increase?

Divided America seems to be changing for the worst not the better.  While we have advances in technology to make our lives better, increases in crime are offsetting technology's positive influence on our society.

While this may not be a big deal to many of you, I think that Americans have just GROWN INTO A HUGE DISRESPECT AND DISREGARD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT...  and, I base this claim on what I see on interstate highways as well as on rural and even city highways.

People of all ages and all ethnic groups simple PAY NO ATTENTION TO SPEED LIMITS...  they drive as fast as they want to, slowing down when the spot a cop hiding or when a cop has stopped a car for speeding.  There is no self-dsicipline to follow the speed limits, including by yours truly.

It has nothing to do with being late nor does it really have anything to do with the desire to drive fast and act like I am in a NASCAR race.  Part of it is following the lead and part of it is simply the ease and comfort inside the car when driving fast.  Sometimes, it is so quiet and gentle of a ride, you just don't think about how fast you are driving.

If a majority of us disregard the speed limit laws, then we must also expect that others are going to disregard the laws that protect private property.  This obviously includes: theft, vandalism, breaking and entering, etc.

Will it ever stop?  NO...
