Bryan-College Station had a grand total of 10 homicides last year(2020). That is less than one per month. They only had 5 the year before that. I am no expert but that does not seem like a lot to me.


It's not. Still well below national averages. But going from 5 to 10 in a year is still a 100% increase, which is concerning in and of itself.

Unfortunately that’s the national trend since last year. Most jurisdictions are seeing double and triple digit increases.

While South Bend has 1/2 the murders/100k. it has over twice the rapes/100k

Maybe that will ease up a little with Coach Kelly coming to BR...

Yes, the residents of North BTR enjoy murdering e/o greatly, and the Mayor-President doesn’t care to reel it in at all, or to even give the appearance of trying.

She’s more concerned with preventing white flight and the tax revenue losses associated with it.


Fatherless homes are the biggest detriment to society. The United States is the#1 country in the world for single parent led households.

The federal government socially engineered this problem with their welfare programs and until they remove the crutch that allows people to have children they can't afford to maintain, and do not want to parent things will only continue to devolve.

A meager tax deduction incentive is not nearly enough to encourage marriage and nuclear families when the alternative is offering, free housing,food, healthcare, childcare, utilities, and Earned income credit.

If the child tax credit was only available to married couples and the purchasing power of someone on welfare was brought down to the level of someone that makes the federal minimum wage of 7.25. This shite would change in a decade.

I saw a study that in Tennessee a person who is eligible for welfare benefits has the purchasing power and quality of life as a person who makes $24.00 per hour or close to 50k annually.
