Data Censorship -- a thread 🧵
1. Biden is trying to rewrite history by criminalizing data for "Historical Bias."

2. DYK:
- Obama [redacted] lots of Truthful-but-Inconvenient govt data.
- DOJ BJS used to publish lots of it.

Think "Infanticide Rates by Race" will ever come back?

They don't make "Figure 22b" (Black Male Homicide Rate) anymore.
In 1993, this rate was:
- 247 per 100k (14-17)
- 365 per 100k (18-24)

Contrast with my 2021 FBI NIBRS table:
- 207 per 100k (15-24)

We'd need a +50% increase in rate to equal the early 90's

They used to publish charts about Stranger Homicides (Figure 20a) -- the most meaningful Homicides from a "Public Safety" perspective.

From 1976 to 2005, Stranger Homicides were:
- 20% Black-on-White
- 5% White-on-Black

They can't notice "Patterns & Trends" at BJS anymore.

>"young black males have accounted for about 1% of the population from 1980 to 2008"
>"By 2008, young black males made up about a quarter of all homicide offenders (27%)"

Think Figure 23b is ever coming back?

Mass Murders are always under 1% of homicides.
Multi-Offender Gang-style Murders nearly doubled in share from the early-80s to late-2000s:
- From ~11% to ~20%

When your false narrative is "White Mass Murderers," you need to censor the Multi-Offender/Multi-Victim homicide charts.

You can see some of the more forbidden facts in these old [redacted] charts (note the varied Y-axes):
- Black Females commit homicides at quite a high rate
--- Esp. in the 1970s

Also remember that, of course, all these old charts are using combined White + Hispanic data.

This chart is another one they don't bother with anymore:

Since 2000, the most common reason for a homicide is:
~~UNKNOWN~~

Since 1990, the most common relationship between a homicide victim and offender is:
~~UNKNOWN~~

This anti-data ideology means that we also lose out on some more esoteric charts, like this:
"Husband Murder Victimization Rate by Race per 100k"

The "White Flight Reasoning" + "Mass Incarceration Success" Chart is certainly a Big No-No now

Here are the high-level "Homicide Offending" and "Homicide Victimization" rates by race. Take care to note the consistent disparities in rates.

Each year, Blacks commit homicides at about a:
+25% higher rate than Blacks are victims of homicides.

Teen Gun Murder Rates. Fascinating how most of the violence increases happen on election years. #BLM
