I guess they just need more talkin to
You need to read it again. It’s the INCREASE (percent) in rate. That is clearly stated in my post.That’s a shitty click-bait fear mongering misrepresentation of the data.
That’s a chart of the first derivative of the murder rate, not the murder rate itself.
See all those bars that stick below the “0” line? All of those are reductions in the murder rate.
Although the murder rate increased, the rate is still very low by historical standards.

And not sure how there’s “click bait” if there no link.
I choose to interpret it as “everyone should buy more guns and ammo”.You may not have provided a link, but the graphic was surely intended to exaggerate the change, to make it seem way worse than it is. So, not YOUR clickbait, but it was clickbait by the NYT.
My point is that it's a misrepresentation of the data. For instance, if the murder rate goes from 0.01 per 100k to 0.03 per 100k, that's a 300% increase. But it's still a freakin' tiny number.
This chart is intended to make everyone scared and shit their pants because the murder rate is so high, but it's not. The murder rate is still quite low.

30% increase in murder rate is pretty substantial. I'm trying to figure out how the number is wrong or misleading.
Number of murders is highest since 95. Murder per capita is still way down, but up significantly last year obviously as well.
Careful with those percentages. For example, Maine covid deaths went from 1 to 3 one day. Whoopty-f***in-doo.30% increase in murder rate is pretty substantial. I'm trying to figure out how the number is wrong or misleading.

I wonder how much of the lowering of the crime rates in the 90's was at least tangentially related to the strong jobs market at that time. Hard to do mischief if you've gotta clock in. (Ditto for those dirtbags of the Occupy Wall Street contingent and the scumbags who trashed an Indian reservation protesting that pipeline around the same time. "No more fossil fuels, here let me throw my MD can and my Fritos bag right here next to a pile of my shit.")
killing off conservative votersThe other way to read this is Democrats get a lot of people killed in election years.
