Solving violence in the U.S. — Remove Democrat-run cities and bring back asylums

One of the most common strategies used by the political left to attack 2nd Amendment supporters is to ramp up the anti-gun hype every time a crime involving a gun is committed. However, it's very important to understand that this is not only about removing gun rights for leftists — it's also about creating a false association in the public consciousness that guns = crime. That is to say, they want to condition people to believe that once guns are gone, violent crime will be gone also.

This has not been the case in countries like the U.K. Despite incredibly strict gun laws that make it impossible for anyone other than upper-middle class and wealthy citizens to own any firearm, violent crime, rape and homicides have been rising in the U.K. with knife attacks increasing by 80 percent. While it is technically more difficult to murder a person with a knife, it's also a lot easier for larger, stronger criminals and gangs to succeed in harming people when those people have no equalizer.

In the U.S., violent crimes and murders are exponentially higher in Democrat-run cities, many of them with increased gun control measures. In fact, of the top 30 most violent cities in the U.S., 27 of them are Democrat-controlled. Wherever leftists dominate politically, violence, theft, rape and murder are sure to follow. Though anti-gun proponents will try to cite high homicide stats in certain conservative states like Texas, the majority of those crimes are in fact committed in cities run by Dems.

Blue cities are dragging red states and the rest of the country down. According to the statistics, in theory, if the public was to replace all Democrat cities with conservative leadership, crime rates would immediately plunge in the U.S. by virtue of policy.

But what is it specifically about Democrat policies that leads to far higher crime? There are other trends to consider, such as incarceration rates in any given state or county, severity of punishment for violent crimes, and let's not forget a subject a lot of people don't want to talk about: The separation of the mentally ill from the rest of society. Leftists often support revolving door policies for criminals, reduced sentences for violent crime IF the perpetrator is a minority and they are aggressively opposed to incarceration for those with dangerous mental illness.

They're happy to take away the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans, but they have no interest in keeping violent criminals in prison or keeping mentally unstable people away from normal society. Perhaps because their goal is not to reduce violence, but to simply eradicate gun ownership.

Incarceration does in fact work, far better than gun control does. But in order to understand the incarceration rate and its effectiveness in stopping violence, we have to look at two systems simultaneously — prison incarceration and mental asylum incarceration.

One issue that is immediately noticeable is that prison numbers spiked massively starting in the mid-1980s, after which homicide rates began to plunge. Also, note that less incarceration in the early 1900s also coincides with much higher murder rates across the nation. But what about that dip in murders from the 1930s to the 1960s? What caused that?

Well, it's not necessarily an economic problem as many progressives might suggest. The country was hitting peak prosperity in the 1920s and murder rates were still sky-high. On the opposite end, the system was still in depression turmoil in the 1930s to 1940s, but homicide rates began to fall. So, again, what caused violent crime to plunge in that era if it wasn't an economic trigger? The only factor that seems to coincide with this period of relative social peace is the sudden increase in psychiatric incarceration from around the 1930s onward.

While prison rates remained mostly static between the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s, the number of mental asylums holding dangerous patients was growing. And, like magic, violence in the U.S. dropped off a cliff.

Incredibly, as asylums began to shut down in the 1960s-1970s, murders jumped back once again to record highs. Without asylums and with low prison incarceration, violence spread like wildfire, and it did not stop until the mid-1980s when prison rates rocketed. In other words, the prison system and the legal system had to pick up the slack when the mental asylums disappeared.

Finally, take note of the recent spike in homicides and violence in the past few years. It matches almost exactly with falling incarceration trends, mostly encouraged by Democrat policies in blue cities and blue states. We also have minimal mental illness facilities in place to deal with the influx of unstable people being released back into society by prisons. We are about to repeat the pattern of the early 1900s, with a lower prison population and no asylums violence will likely continue to spiral out of control.

Now, to be sure, in the past there were some terrible practices involving mental health imprisonment and it doesn't do anyone any good to repeat those mistakes. In the early days of mental health, they cast a wide net that caught a lot of dangerous people, but they also locked up anyone with marginal mental problems as well. This led to some tragedies.

That said, it is foolish to dismiss the numbers; asylums worked. They helped to reduce murders dramatically. Considering at least 1 percent of the human population has psychopathic traits and these people cause at least 30 percent of all crime in the U.S., something has to be done to address mental instability in our nation. Their odds of recidivism are extremely high, and they will keep on committing the same crimes over and over again until they are stopped.

This is the issue that the political left doesn't want to talk about. They try to hide it with psychotropic medications and feel-good welfare programs, but these things are clearly useless. Separating dangerous and insane people from the rest of the population is the only sure method for saving lives in the long run.

The solution is simple and twofold: Get rid of leftist leaders in major cities that set violent repeat offenders free and bring back mental health facilities to lock up the crazies if necessary. This is the only way to stop the avalanche of violent crime that awaits Americans in the near future.

Death of the American City: 9 trends you need to know

The age of the American city is rapidly coming to an end. With commercial real estate increasingly abandoned, and with retailers closing up shop and fleeing Democrat-run cities, the utility of the city itself is rapidly vanishing.

Importantly, in today's broadcast I predict we will see American refugees fleeing the cities as critical infrastructure collapses. Those refugees will flee into the suburbs and rural areas, seeking food and shelter.

In today's Brighteon Broadcast News, I cover the following nine trends that indicate the collapse of America's cities.
