Crime rates rising in Minnesota under Tim Walz – murders up 50%, carjackings up 163%

Besides the cold weather and bad politics, many Minnesotans are fleeing their state due to Gov. Tim Walz’s pro-crime policies.

Under Walz, murders throughout the Land of 10,000 Lakes are up 50 percent compared to 2019, according to the latest data. Assault offenses are also up 8 percent while robberies are up 9.5 percent – but the worst figure is for motor vehicle theft, which is up 163 percent across the state.

“This is why Minnesotans are fleeing his state in record numbers,” tweeted the “DC_Draino” (@DC_Draino) X account. “He let BLM burn down Minneapolis and then he defunded the police. Now violent crime is through the roof.”

If Walz gets installed as vice president with Kamala Harris as his boss, Americans everywhere can expect crime rates to eventually increase in their areas, too.

Minnesota was much safer before Walz was installed in 2018

Compared to the other 49 states, Minnesota ranks roughly in the middle in terms of crime, ranking 29th on the list of most dangerous states in the U.S. as determined by Forbes Advisor.

Using figures collected from the 2022 FBI Crime Data Explorer, Forbes reportedly calculated a 2.81 violent crime rate per 1,000 residents in the state. The average Minnesotan has a one in 356 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime at any given time.

The most dangerous state in the nation is New Mexico with a violent crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents. The safest state is New Hampshire with only 1.26 per 1,000 people in the state succumbing to violent crime.

What makes Minnesota’s crime situation especially noteworthy is the fact that it used to be a much safer place before Walz was installed as governor in 2018. In 2018 and 2019, it dropped from previous figures, but was followed by a massive 17.2 percent crime spike in 2020 and a 21.6 percent crime spike on top of that in 2021.

After what happened with George Floyd, and all under Walz’s watch, Minnesota descended into a crime-scape, as did many other states around the same time.

The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic” and the way Walz responded to it put Minnesota into a precarious position. Coupled with the Floyd situation, Walz was easily overwhelmed by the angry mobs that roved Minnesota’s streets in search of things to destroy as they stood in “solidarity” with Floyd against law enforcement.

“There was a nationwide significant spike in violence in 2020 immediately after that event,” said Thomas Abt, Senior Fellow at the Council on Criminal Justice, in a recent interview on the Minnesota Now with Cathy Wurzer podcast. “And rates have increased ever since.”

Had Walz taken a much different approach to the Floyd situation, it would have set a much different example for the rest of the country to follow. Instead, he let lawlessness rule the day in his state, which he presumably also plans to do as vice president under Kamala.

“Walz turned Minnesota into a high-crime state for the first time ever,” wrote someone on X about how right after Walz was installed, Minnesota was pushed above the national average for crime for the first time in its history.

“They want the entire country to mirror Minnesota,” wrote another about the plans that Kamala and Walz have for the United States.

“How is this guy still in office let alone picked as a VP running mate?” asked another about the ridiculousness of the political circus that Americans are being forced to watch unfold.
