Mike GonzalezThe FBI has made it official: 2020 saw the biggest spike in murders in American history — 30 percent. The year that saw Black Lives Matter-inspired racial turbulence on a scale that hadn’t been seen since 1968 blew past that year’s previous record murder spike of 12 percent.
That is an extra 5,000 Americans killed in 2020, a majority of them African-Americans, as they make up 53 percent of homicide victims. All told, this brings the number of extra Americans murdered since 2014 — the year Black Lives Matter’s founders gathered with other far-leftist groups in the city of Ferguson, MO, to organize a nationwide movement with revolutionary demands — to perhaps more than 11,000.
