No my point was that the "outrageous murder rate in Mississippi" is almost entirely due to the outrageous murders happening in democrat controlled regions of those red states. This example was a typical blue city assault by a person who was out on little or no bail and had never been properly punished for all their previous criminal activity.
So unless you advocate that Governors in Red States like Mississippi declare martial law in the Blue Parts of their states, where most of the violent crime is happening, then there is little they can do to stop what left wing democrat Mayors & Prosecutors are causing.
