I grew up in s state that had not so much of these violent urban populations. I lived in that state when it had 5.6% black population. It now has ~6.2% black population, and it has problems with murders and gang violence, but only in select zip code ranges which, surprise, surprise are not overabundant with Irish folks.
I now live in a census designated place which in 2010 had 94.59% non-Hispanic Caucasian population. The very rare crimes here are property crimes, typically committed by a subcontractor who is doing carpentry or painting, and cannot resist the temptation to steal. We live on an island with one bridge entrance, so if crime ever became an issue, Barney Fife could park at the bridge, and, no problem.
On the other hand, I have sympathy for folks who have to live in neighborhoods which are afflicted with vermin like that described in the article. It is a shame, but it is a cultural problem. And that means that folks from that general culture need to recognize the problem and do something effective about it.
You live in Detroit? On the island?
Goodness. . .can I emigrate, please?
Seriously. Am retired and am looking to move to a safe, quiet, socially stable area.
A third of all black men will end up in prison at some point in their life. It’s not because the cops, judges, DAs and juries are racist. It is because they commit more crimes that any other race.
