That is a frightening thought, but I do believe Lizzo hit it right on the head. I do wonder why she thinks that would be a good thing. I think she has either never been to Detroit or she just never noticed the slums or th massive amount of crime.
2. Violent Crime Rate
Violent crimes occur at a rate of 20.59 per 1,000 residents in Detroit. This rate includes offenses such as aggravated assault, robbery, and homicides, indicating a significant impact on the community’s sense of security.
4. Violent Crime Probability
In Detroit, there’s a 1 in 49 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime. This probability highlights the challenges faced by the Detroit Police Department in curbing violent offenses and safeguarding its citizens.
7. Safety Ranking
Detroit ranks safer than only 1% of U.S. cities. This startling statistic highlights the extensive work needed to improve safety and reduce crime rates compared to nearby cities and nationwide.
The poverty rate in Detroit is outrageous.
Lizzo:
“If Kamala wins then the whole country will be like Detroit.”
“I’m Donald Trump and I agree with this message.”
The musical artist — who is a Detroit native — delivered the speech as part of an “early vote event” encouraging Michiganders to cast their ballots for Harris before Nov. 5. The rally came as polls showed former President Donald Trump closing the gap in the key swing state, with a 270 to Win poll Thursday showing Harris slipping from four percentage points ahead on Sep. 26 to tied.
“All the best things were made in Detroit: Coney dogs, Faygo and Lizzo,” the pop star told the audience. “You know, they say if Kamala wins then the whole country will be like Detroit.”
Detroit was ranked the second most violent city in the U.S. in 2018, according to home security company Sirix Monitoring. The property crime rate in Detroit in 2023 often exceeded 3,000 per 100,000 residents, over 50% higher than the national average of 2,000 per 100,000 residents.
The city also had a poverty rate of 31.5% in 2022, nearly 3 times the 2022 national average of 12.5%.
“I’m proud to say that I voted, I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris,” Lizzo later said, shortly before breaking into song. “Turn me up. Turn up the music. Turn down the light. I got a feeling.”
Lizzo’s representatives and the Harris campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your website in internet explorer, may test thisK IE still is the marketplace leader and a good portion of other people will pass over your great writing because of this problem.
The following time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to learn, but I actually thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you may fix if you happen to werent too busy looking for attention.
