Comment Comment by samatman There were 287 homicides in Newark in 2020, up from 234 in 2019. That's 53 more lives lost, a shocking 23% increase.How related are these two facts? I don't know, but if you're going to come at this with "completely unrelated" I question your honesty.Source: https://www.nj.com/crime/2020/12/homicides-in-nj-soared-22-i...Edit: apologies for not reading the source carefully, I was mislead by the search I used to retrieve it. That was for all of New Jersey, not Newark, where homicides have been flat (and that is unusual for the United States in general).I'm pretty distracted today. Sorry about that. parent samatman 5 years ago
