There are several cases of terrible murders reported by the New York Times on September 11. You can read about here.

Trump is particularly troubled by the murder of Charlie Kirk a close political outline, which of course should shock us all.
As Klein’s New York Times article of September 11, argues that Kirk was practicing politics in the right way when he was killed, simply illustrates the kind of division that Trump has stimulated which is rhetoric which resulted into attempts on his life, one of which very nearly succeeded.
Few idiots idiot as @ezraklein idiots. "The right way"? Did you mention that he advocated for forcing 12-year olds to watch the public execution of Trump's governmental opponents, maybe by guillotine? https://t.co/vQI3huWtpz

So as horrified as we are about Kirk’s shooting, we know it will be used intensely by Trump to further exacerbate his rise to power.
Trump’s reaction establishes the basis for his charges that the fault of all these murders must be the Democrats.

However, the murder count for 100,000 people is 6.8 or let’s say seven. That ratio is .00007.
Of course, with reasonable restrictions on firearms, which the arms industry has successfully stopped, including automatic weapons, that ratio would be even smaller.
Now, however, Trump says every murderer must be a Democrat so he can accelerate his use of the National Guard to be sent to cities to go by the Democrats.
This of course reiterates Trump’s long history of using implausible data to forward his political ambition establishing his authority tearing regime.
Let’s hope that the public will become increasingly aware of political implications and demand that no further national guard troops be sent to big cities in exclusively blue states!
