” from Connecticut to California,” writes Brad Heath, “arrested black people at a rate 10 times higher than people who are not black.” Overall, a “staggering disparity” exists between whites and blacks in terms of custodial arrests.

Now, some white people are going to say that this data exists because black people commit more crime. But The Washington Post reported in December that whites typically overestimate and inflate the percentage of crime committed by African Americans.”

Fool. Do a search for “brawl” on YouTube and you’ll realize it should be 20 to 1.

Per my last post - what gives one lawless ‘person of color’ the right to deprive a lawful ‘person of color’ of his livelihood and only means of support? How is the lawless’ lives worth more than the lawful?

Yeah, he kinda puts it out there.
Described as “an effeminate man-child” and “a radical homosexual activist” by critics, Josh Kruger is an award-winning commentator and writer in Philadelphia.

Some of Josh’s work includes his candid, personal experiences with homelessness, HIV/AIDS, and drug addiction. In 2014, the Society of Professional Journalists called his work “mesmerizing. Not just an unusual point of view, but excellent writing, too.” …
The “critics” are not named.

I think we have to put this into the right prospective.

Baltimore, with the exception of a three-thousand foot circular area around the National Aquarium (includes the Orioles stadium)...it’s a virtual no-go town. The Greenmount Avenue area is a place you have to avoid at all costs....day or night. The northeast end of town (roughly 16 square miles) is where you go for drugs and homicide.

Cops in general with Baltimore...either have given up on town or simply doing a ‘show-and-tell’ game to convince the convention crowd that the harbor area is totally protected (that’s where they put the bulk of their resources) and they intend to make it their ‘final stand’.

Our guy Freddy? Toxicology reports have leaked and it shows Freddy had a heroin habit. You can survive for a long while on the drug, but your sense of survival will reach a point where you will do anything to get the money for a fix. Freddy was living off borrowed time, and while it’s a joke the way that he went (back of a cop van)...it could have easily been Freddy reported dead in some back alley with a needle still in his arm.

The cops in Baltimore? A public service job at best. They hustle thugs, pimps, hookers, druggies, etc...in, and a couple of hours later...the same folks get released via bail. Court meetings are just a game of sorts....the lawyers discuss some negotiation scheme...some judge stamps it....life goes on. There’s no success story for the cops to talk about.

Maybe Baltimore was significant and a worthwhile place...but that was 1970 when the Orioles put Boog Powell and Brooks Robinson at the corners and easily won the World Series. Baltimore was a fairly safe town in those days.

AFAIK, no shop in LA that had armed defenders was successfully looted after the arrival of the defenders.

Josh Kruger is BOTH ignorant and racist.

Not only that, he’s a precious little snowflake who mustn’t have his notions challenged.

White people and black people know this to be true. The statistics are well researched and staggering in their implications. If it weren’t for black law violators, we’d need 1/10th the prisons, we’d live in a society where violent crime was darned near non-existent, and our police departments could do all that’s needed with half their present numbers.

Josh Kruger agrees with the airhead Celine Dion on “let zem tuch nice tings” just so long as they aren’t touching his things.
Guaranteed that he’d be outraged if the mob bashed his door in and stole the little limp wrists possessions.
Outraged enough to, my word, call the police.

The plate glass windows actually have a job and provide a service. They are a barrier from the elements and serve as security.

I say the plate glass windows are MORE valuable than the thuuuuugs that be throwin' rocks and tables.

The author of this scribble cites a telephone survey in the Washington Post. I think I’ll go with the FBI stats.

If Lincoln had a peak into the future, he never would have signed the emancipation declaration. I am sure of it.
