Memorial Day weekend crime: Some cities marred with gun violence, bloodshed over holiday

Former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams argues citizens are suffering as cities see a crime surge amid calls to defund the police.

Cities in parts of the U.S. grappled with high numbers of shootings and killings over Memorial Day weekend, with at least one reporting as many as 10 murders over the extended holiday, according to officials and reports.

The warmer-weather months are often notorious for yielding higher crime rates in parts of the country and causing some agencies, such as the New York Police Department, to deploy more officers to high-crime areas.

Crime analysts and experts have said they anticipated summer 2021 violence could be just as bad as – if not worse than last year amid upticks in shootings and murders that started earlier than usual.

Cities such as Houston, Miami and New Orleans saw startling spates of violence over the extended weekend.

Meanwhile, my favorite guy, Will Johnson, was celebrating on a boat in Florida!  No violence with these people.  That is my point.
There are some people who can celebrate a Holiday without violence.

Surprised they have not called for a gun sales lockdown to 'flatten the curve' of the

gun violence epidemic.
