LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Homicides are at an all-time high in Louisville, and a local activist says more women are becoming victims than in previous years.

"There has clearly been no other year like this, as far as females being impacted by reckless gunplay," said Christopher 2X, an anti-violence activist who runs the Game Changers nonprofit organization. "There's nothing to compare to it, not even 2016."

Louisville's 151 reported homicides in 2020 shattered the city's previous record of 117 in 2016. The latest victim was a woman who was found shot inside of her car Saturday in the California neighborhood and later died at University of Louisville Hospital.


A child was also found shot in the vehicle and was hospitalized in critical condition, according to Louisville Metro Police. Witnesses said the car was hit at least 20 times by bullets.

"Nobody can dismiss the constant redundant shootings in 2020," said 2X, who tracks the city's shootings using data from LMPD.

"Unfortunately, the last six years have been at extremes as far as the uptick in shootings, but (20)20 totally has created its own identity," he said, adding that more than half of those killed have been under 30 years old.

Louisville has also set a record for non-fatal shootings in 2020 with 554 reported through November, according to 2X, who said that's a nearly 10% increase compared to the previous record set in 2016.

What's driving the violence higher? 2X said it's more than just the pandemic.

"Problems with social media disputes, problems with territorial issues in neighborhoods, problems with too many juveniles getting a hold of weapons at very young ages," he said.

The shootings leave families without mothers, fathers and children. Hundreds of survivors, meanwhile, are left to pick up the pieces.

"It's heartbreaking and saddening at best to watch mothers constantly in fear," 2X said. "Children constantly trying to figure out what's going on in their world."

Despite the shite movies showing women are just as macho as men, women being killed has been a ignored fact for a long time, a public effort to show this would hurt the -- I'm as much of a man as you -- image they are trying to float.
The death of American Indian women is a sad, sad  note that is gaining some ground now.

I have written this before but a Indian gent I gave a ride as he was hitch hiking back to Montana told me how bad the murder rate was in the reservation he was from. His two sister were both murdered for acting Indian enough.

Christopher 2X took over as head pot stirrer when the righteous rev louis coleman died. Coleman made millions off the city of Lou by threatening to sue for anything he could think of for many many years, a real low life.
Christopher 2X was unknown then. Suddenly there he was, pleading the cases of the downtrodden black community. A real hero to look up to. No new info for a long time but last info was he was sgl with 5 kids by 5 women paying child support for NONE of them. Blacks  and liberal democrats love him. CHARLIE.
