if that graphic is real, i imagine eliminating philadelphia and wilmington would put us in dead last.

Just illustrates the real problem that needs to be solved IMO. With all the guns in this country it’s still very safe to live almost anywhere other than the inner city.Quote:

These stats are not accurate. This meme has been disproven many times over the past couple years. Someone literally just made that shit up in 2015 and people still post it every time a white guy goes to a crowded area and shoots a bunch of random people.Quote:

All the numbers and rankings are wrong, but most lol is this:
Quote:
The cities cited in the meme accounted for 1,568 of 17,250, or 9.1 percent, of all homicides reported to the FBI in 2016, Tom Kovandzic, a criminologist at the University of Texas, Dallas, calculated for us. And without those cities, the homicide rate (per capita) would only decline by 7.73 percent, or from 5.34 to 4.93.
When we applied those reductions to the UN data, the United States barely budged in its international standing. It moved down four spots in per capita murders and stayed the same in total murders. That’s inconsequential compared with the 186-spot jump the meme concocted.
They drive to places with lots of guns that don’t have murder problems. The focus should be why people commit murder on the daily in these cities and get them help. At some point you have to stop blaming Republicans and admit the local leadership has responsibilities as well. Remember how bad NYC used to be? They cleaned it up, maybe these other cities can try similar ideas that were used there.Quote:

nightmarefish you have some explaining to do
In 2015, men committed 62% of murders and were 79% of all murder victims. Black men committed 36% of murders and made up 52% of all murder victims. White men committed 30% of murders and accounted for 43% of all murder victims. Homicide is largely intra-racial. Of crimes involving a single offender and victim: 81% of white victims were killed by a white perpetrator; 89% of all black victims were killed by a black perpetrator.Quote:

It illustrates where the real problem is in this country but no one gives a shit. Thats why I told you, the same weekend as the mass murders there where 7 murdered in Chicago and 52 more shot. This happens week after week after week after week. No one cares. If politicians can bring these communities up it will in turn automatically solve many other problems in this country.
I get it now. You are not speaking as directly as you might.
You want the n-word situation resolved. You believe blacks are responsible
for America's growing problems and they must be brought under control.
Is this more or less what you believe?
What you wrote is pretty horrible.Quote:

Clean up the city, renovate all the broken buildings, fix the schools, recruit the best teachers in the country (pay them $150k a year if that’s what it takes). I thought you were liberal, you don’t agree with this? There are dems running for president that want to give free health care and college to illegal immigrants. I say invest that money in the inter-cities because IMO it’s a solvable problem.
It literally illustrates nothing that is true. A troll made all of those numbers up. You fell for it due to confirmation bias.Quote:

So 306 homicides so far this year in Chicago is a made up number?Quote:

massive plot twist alert:
the ex marine got back on his meds, requested an additional two weeks in the va hospital, and recognizes he basically left authorities no choice but to respond to a threat he presented, based on his behavior/appearance/circumstances.
