Not comparatively high total numbers because of smaller populations, but a large percentage increase from the previous year. The scourge of liberal democrat policies spreads far and wide, and is the common denominator in all these cities.<br /><br />From the article: SPRINGFIELD — With 2015 coming to a close, homicide rates surged in Springfield and Hartford this year, while the total number of people killed in Boston and Providence declined from last year.<br /><br />As of Dec. 30, Springfield had 18 homicides, a 28.5 percent increase from the 14 killings in 2014. With a population of almost 154,000, New England's fourth-largest city had 19 homicides in 2013 and 12 in 2012.<br /><br />Hartford, a city with 30,000 fewer residents, saw a dramatic spike in murders this year, from 19 in 2014 to 31 as of Dec. 12 – an increase of more than 63 percent.<br /><br />In Worcester, New England's second-biggest city with roughly 183,000 residents, there were nine homicides this year, two more than in 2014.<br /><br />In New Haven, New England's sixth-largest city with a population of 130,000, there were 15 homicides as of Dec. 8, two more than last year's total.<br /><br />In Bridgeport, New England's fifth-biggest city with a population over 147,000, this year's murder rate spiked by about 58 percent, from 12 in 2014 to 19 as of Christmas Eve. That's when 14-year-old Luis Colon was gunned down by a 23-year-old man.<br /><br />http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2015/12/2015_homicide_rate_murders_are.htmlGalaxie_Mannoreply@blogger.com
