Why the violence is increasing or is it social media which is showing violence?

Reports say it is the media coverage, even though it is reported that violent crimes are decreasing, people perceive violent crimes increasing.

Well in the city in which I live when you listen to the news **each day** there is generally a murder or two / shootings three or four and some shootings containing multiple people. And I wonder how can it be down. Maybe their research and statistics are not Nationwide but done in suburban towns in Utah or Vermont or even Connecticut.

The Bible indicates iniquity will be abound abundance and the love of many will go cold, Matthew 24:12 2nd Timothy 3:1-6 give us a bit more detail that lawlessness will continue to increase as we get closer to the end of days.

According to most statistics, crime rates are down over-all. BUT 24-hour news, social media, etc., means we are more aware of anything that happens much more than in the past. Plus a (for example) 5% crime rate when the population was 100,000,000 is 1/3 the actual number of crimes for a population of 300,000,000 -- and our population keeps rising, so the actual number of crimes increases even if the rate stays the same or drops.

Right wing populists are using recent incidents to imply that knife crime in the UK is rising and out of control. Police statistics show that violent knife crime in the year to March 2025 was 5% lower than the previous year and 25% lower than 5 years ago.

The alleged "increase of violence" is almost always only a perceived increase. It's what the people are told, to intimidate them, and to make them want a Big Brother to protect them.
It's one of those lies which are spread to prepare people for authoritarian leadership.

Violence is probably decreasing, throughout society. The commitment to war and hate, the commitment to reject socialism is what you really mean when you lie about people and decry their violence. You're saying that you're an American, blue and red together against peace! You are everyone here!!!

In 2024, the FBI reported a 4.5% decrease in violent crime nationwide, with a violent crime occurring on average every 26 seconds. The national violent crime rate was 359.1 per 100,000 residents, which is the lowest in roughly two decades.

If the evidence is SHOWN...........its happening. That said MAGA searches the entire United States news sources to pick and choose the things they want to show to increase the hate and division around us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and their base eats it up.

A little of both. Throw in a growing population and an unchecked globalist agenda...and violence is everywhere.

Code whites affecting a certain hospital more de-escalate situations before they escalate into violence.

Social media and the Democrats are definitely trying to stir up unrest and discontent.
