E.g. in Baltimore, we saw the homocide rate spiking as of Freddie Gray protests.

A particularly good visualization of Baltimore's murder rate is here:

Baltimore's homocide clearance rate also dropped from 40% to some percentage in the 20's because the breakdown in police/community relations made people stopped snitching.
There's a similar spike in St. Louis, timed to the Michael Brown killing.
The national murder rate spiked 25% in the last two years of Obama's presidency, after decades of decline. There isn't any alternative explanation.

Why does there have to be an alternative? They can give speeches, send letters and emails, go on television, post to other social media platforms, yell in a park, release an album, etc. You have the right to freedom of speech, not the right to freedom of mediums of speech.
If this is your opinion, then why not go even further? If you don't support lowering Walmart's taxes, along with all other grocery stores, then why shouldn't they be allowed to permanently ban you for all places to buy food from, forever?
First off, how would Walmart and every single grocery store know my voting record? Beyond that though, a monopolistic collusion to manipulate voting would likely be investigated as anti-trust actions.
Finally, as far as I'm concerned, they are welcome to ban me for my voting pattern. Within a couple weeks I would open up a new grocery store, marketed as not caring what your political beliefs are. The thing is, in a free market (or pseudo-free market like we have) you only succeed with buy in. Once you alienate your customers, you fail.

> Walmart and every single grocery store know my voting record
Well, they could just look up your social media accounts to see if you've made any comments they don't like.
Sure, that would catch everyone, but it would certainly find some, and cause a chilling effect.
> anti-trust actions.
Ahh, no it wouldn't though! Anti trust is about competition. It would not be a violation to collude for non price related non competition reasons.
> I would open up a new grocery store
Even if you happen to be a multi millionaire capable of doing so, most people aren't capable of doing this. Many people might also starve before you get around to doing this.
Also, there are many towns where such competition is not really possible, because there are only a few stores in the area.
> you fail.
You are misunderstanding how long it can take for the market to react. Market power is real, and established entities cannot be overthrown overnight.
