St. Louis and parts of North St Louis county (St. Louis is not in St. Louis County) are dangerous places. Lots of people die violent deaths who had nothing to do with the Ferguson riots/protests. Too many are pursuing the thug life and those people don’t tend to have long lifespans. If you drive on I-70 west towards the airport you’ll see miles of boarded up buildings.
There is a move afoot to have St. Louis City absorb St. Louis County back into itself so that it can have taxpayers again. I have a hard time seeing such a thing pass since most County residents left to escape the rich diversity of St Louis city life.
Dead men tell no tales.
Nobody will ever know one way or the other now.
They were disproportionately violent criminals.
Young black men in urban ghettos dying violently?
It must be due to global warming. Or Trump. Or George Bush. Or racism. Yeah that’s the ticket - because white people are genetically racist.
Thug Evolution
PING
To promote a conspiracy-theory, AP interprets the results backwards.
It’s not that involvement in the “Ferguson Protests” per se makes people more likely to die by violence or suicide.
It’s that people living a morbid lifestyle and deficient in positive life skills ad logic were attracted to the Ferguson Protests/Riots. Self-selection is at work here.
I’ll almost guarantee you that this is traceable back to a Democratic party source. They may want to use events like Ferguson to further an agenda but for sure they do not want any new leadership from Ferguson.
This really needs to be investigated thoroughly.
Occam’s Razor would indicate these deaths are the result of the concentration of crime and general dysfunction among the inhabitants of that particular locale.
It’s a tough neighborhood.
Yeah, watch some episodes of The First 48 and other reality crime shows, and you will discover that “aspiring rapper” may be the country’s most dangerous occupation. For women, it’s the obvious “street person” followed by “free spirit” and “girlfriend of aspiring rapper”.
The National Guard was patrolling with live rounds in the magazine, and rioters took that pretty seriously. The dead bodies were of those rioters who had some sort of confrontation with their sworn enemies -- other rioters. :^)
That’s weird. I would think such an event would be so positive and life-changing.
I mentioned this event, not long after it happened to my boss in a small Kansas town.
His eyes were just blinking. I mean after all, what’s the big deal?
[Couldn’t have anything to do with the thug life. No way.]
Of course not.
I think you are missing the gravity of the situation.
LOL - 97% of the press stands with ANY black person willing to trash white people or white cops or white politicians.
The press thinks it's 1964 and the civil rights movement is fighting for the right to vote and the right to get a glass of water at a lunch counter. Those battles were just - and they were won.
Bush has nothing to worry about getting her voice out.
Do we know the whereabouts of Jussie Smollett in regards to these guys?
[97% of the press stands with ANY black person willing to trash white people or white cops or white politicians.]
That has to be an exaggeration.
I’m guessing it’s only 96.9999999999%.

Heather Mac Donald writes in her book The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe that in Chicago, IL, blacks committed 76 percent of all homicides, despite composing 35 percent of the city’s population. Blacks also accounted for 78 percent of all juvenile arrests. Whites, who compose 28 percent of the city’s population, committed 4 percent of its homicides and 3.5 percent of its juvenile arrests. Hispanics, who compose 30 percent of the city’s population, committed 19 percent of its homicides and 18 percent of its juvenile arrests. (Another eye-opening fact from Mac Donald’s research is that only 26 percent of murder cases were solved in Chicago.)
Blacks are 10 percent of the population in Los Angeles, CA, but commit 42 percent of its robberies and 34 percent of its felonies. Whites make up 29 percent of the city’s population, and commit 5 percent of its robberies and 13 percent of its felonies.
In New York City, blacks committed “75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime,” despite only composing 23 percent of the population, said Mac Donald in a Hillsdale speech. Additionally, 2009 Bureau of Justice Statistics numbers show that in 2009, “blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.”
4. There were almost 6,000 blacks killed by other blacks in 2015.
By contrast, only 258 blacks were killed by police gunfire that year.
And here she is, I think:
