“It’s a Mean, Mean World?”: John Stossel’s Fox News Show discussing Bloomberg’s false claims
Fox News ^ | October 04, 2014 | John Stossel

Posted on 10/04/2014 4:54:49 PM PDT by richardb72

John Stossel’s show invited Bloomberg’s various gun control organizations to send a representative to debate on guns, but, as they have done so many times in the past, Shannon Watts and the rest of Bloomberg’s staff declined to participate. The show discussed Bloomberg’s claims regarding the risks of guns in the home as well as domestic violence. Bloomberg’s PR people did send some statements to be read on the show and they were discussed. This show aired on Fox News on Saturday at 5 PM EDT and will re-air at 10 PM EDT on Sunday, and 1 AM EDT on Monday.

I’d like to hear the Blooming turds explain why the violent crime rate in Detroit is at a near 40 year low in an open carry city with stand your ground laws. It helps to have a pro 2nd amendment police chief who polices effectively and encourages the people to arm themselves.

The population is only about half of what it was in the 1930’s, but the crime rate is still pretty high isn’t it?

Hey Chode, any truth to the rumor that Obola causes a third eye?

Yeah the crime rate is still high but its falling a lot over the last 18 months or so. The fact is that the city was violent in the 1930s as well. My grandmother told me that when she was a little girl, her school playground was in a chain link cage. For that matter, cities in the bible were violent.

What does population size matter?

Violent crime is usually higher in more densely populated areas, isn’t it?

To an extent, and then, no.

A mid sized city, with a higher percentage of Blacks, seems to do “best”.

And with a higher density of a certain demographic, but we can’t go there.
