Kash Patel: We're On Track to Achieve the Lowest National Murder Rate in Modern History

Elections have consequences and sometimes those consequences are that fewer people die and more people live.

In other words: Authoritarianism.


FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday stated that the U.S. was on track to reach its lowest murder rate in modern American history as the president moved to deploy the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and to assume control of the city police.

"And the murder rates are plummeting. We are now able to report that the murder rate is on track to be the lowest in US history, in modern reported US history, thanks to this team behind me and President Trump's priorities," Patel stated at a press conference.

"This year alone, under President Trump's administration, we've had over 4,000 child victims identified and found that's a 33% increase from the same time period last year, 33% increase," he added.

That last one looks like an increase in child victimization but of course it's an increase in detection of such crimes.

"We've had a seizure of 1500 kilograms of fentanyl up to this date, that is a 25% increase since the same time period last year. And just to put it in perspective, 1500 kilograms of fentanyl is enough to kill 115 million Americans."

"Cops are getting after it. The FBI has arrested 19,000 people this year alone, thanks to President Trump's administration. That's double than where we were this time last year," Patel went on. "And we have also arrested 1,600 people who have committed violent acts against children. 270 of them are human traffickers of children.

More:


In the same 200-day period, agents arrested more than 1,600 people for violent crimes against children, including 270 human trafficking arrests, and located over 4,000 child victims.

The bureau also made 1,000 arrests tied to foreign terrorist organizations and seized 6,300 kilos of methamphetamine, which Patel called "lives saved."

Trump is imagining a Washington DC with a far lower crime rate than its residents have become accustomed to. Many of those residents will oppose him for it. It's like they are protective of their crime rate, now that Trump is threatening it.

35 I’m skeptical of any data on crime. If cops pretend there’s no crime then sure we have low crime rates. And that’s what the police does in big cities. Even for murder it’s like oh yeah that dude with two bullets in the back if his head, yeah suicide.

36 Gad, that moron on MSNBC says Trump isn't addressing the underlying root causes. Well, you asshat, the last Republican mayor left office in 1870. The crime rate is currently skyrocketing, but has always been ridiculously high. What have you done to address the root causes? If that's what's needed, why haven't you done it?

56 Eddie Glaude rages against it because the high rate of crime is mostly being committed by blacks. The "Democratic Process" that he is talking about is the catch and release or turn a blind eye to this very inconvenient fact of life in most of our Democrat run big cities. Mothers of the "youths" will be on camera raging against their arrests as KKK attacks and the compliant media will goad them on. Not one of these Professors, politicians, media speaking heads or others will have the guts to tell the truth that the decimation of the black family over the last 50 years has led to this.

1) Admit the numbers are fraudulent and their reign of terror dramatically increased crime rates, or
2) Admit the numbers are accurate, and Trump dramatically reduced crime.

The actual death rate is 6.3 / Kg of imported fentanyl. 1500 kilograms would kill about 10,000 people. And that was in 2020, when the death rate was much higher than it is now.

Yes, but in 80s and 90s, the price for violence was much higher for gangs. So, in order to lower the cost for committing violence, Dem politicians made it easier for foreign countries to export their gangs to the US. Now, there is plenty of competition between gangs for the American violence market. Thank you, Dems! Teamwork makes the Dream work!

167 Each criminal you catch is likely guilty of many crimes for which they are never charged. Hence catching them inadvertently solves a great many criminal problems in the community.

That is the big lie they tell, catch and punish 1,00 criminals, solve 1,000 crimes, and deter 10,000 crimes. That means each capture and conviction has a huge impact on the crime rate.

173 "The largely black youth are terrorizing the public because their parents are irresponsible retards ..."

Once, just once, can it be because the youths are themselves violent reckless shits who live only to raise hell, and to video themselves doing it, and to go to prison for a portion of their lives?

Does it always have to be blamed on somebody other than precisely the fiends themselves who are actually doing the murders, carjackings, armed robberies and home invasions?

I think the propensity to violence and typical family dysfunction are related not causally to each other, but both to a deeper cause.

Considering that the clear rate on homicides in the US is now under 50%, it makes me wonder what % of these homicides are courtesy of illegal immigrants. Urban centers are going to obscure these details. And, illegal immigrants are not likely to have a trackable electronic presence...which would explain the lowering solve rates.

252 I am not buying any of these crimes numbers. kash patel went on record saying that some large cities are fudging their numbers in crime reporting and now he is claiming that the murder rate is dropping?
Tossing the bull$hit flag on this.

The media was warbling about the lower FIB stats last week and proudly repeating that only 86% of the police depts reported numbers.

If you are missing 14% of your data set, you suck and your conclusions are trash.

At the press conference this morning, Trump said his father once told him if the door to the restaurant is dirty, don't go in, because if the entrance is dirty so is the kitchen.

254 Once, just once, can it be because the youths are themselves violent reckless shits who live only to raise hell, and to video themselves doing it, and to go to prison for a portion of their lives?

Does it always have to be blamed on somebody other than precisely the fiends themselves who are actually doing the murders, carjackings, armed robberies and home invasions?

I think the propensity to violence and typical family dysfunction are related not causally to each other, but both to a deeper cause.

Odds are damned good the majority of those violent yutes are from father-absent families, if they even know who their father was.

If you got a flat horizon, you may be able to see Mercury pop up low before sunrise as well, right below Venus and Jove.

Running it with Stellarium, Mercury will start to pop up after 01:35 sidereal time, which will be a little after 4 AM local mean solar time. Using LMT avoids time zone and longitude differences (but you've got to convert that to actual UTC/local standard time). Latitude matters, but it will be close for everybody in around the continental US.

So, to put succinctly, the UK police is hiring people to violate free speech using the specialized task force approach. Common Law based legal systems really suck posterior.

272 "I need to look up the LD50 numbers for fentanyl ... pretty sure I remember the EMT during a long ambulance ride giving me shots of 5 micrograms of fentanyl for pain"

There is no LD50 for fentanyl; individual tolerance varies by more than two orders of magnitude.

Standard medical dose for surgery prep, for opiate naive adult is 100mcg intravenous. Standard dose on the street is about 2 mg, in a pill. That's right, middle school teachers in America are hitting this stuff to about twenty times the medical dose, and they get away with it 79,000 times out of 79,001.

Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at August 11, 2025 07:12 PM (gDhA9)

275 Check your math.

?

2 milligrams is the DEA's "lethal dose". In 2020, they reported that 42% of single pills on the street contained 2mg or more.

100 micrograms is the recommended surgery prep dose for fentanyl where indicated. They use it with other stuff, so this doesn't tell you much.

2 milligrams is 2,000 micrograms. 2,000 is twenty times as big as 100. It is normal for fentanyl users to take twenty times the medical dose in one pill.
