Well duh! People with something to loose are less likely to commit crimes.
No, Danny. It doesn’t.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...been hearing this crap since the 60’s. How about more blacks become productive, non-violent, members with a middle class American attitude?
I thought that was what Hussein was all about for the last 8 years.
Is this guy saying that Hussein FAILED?
Then why isn’t it happening in poor white neighborhoods?
“DAVIS: I mean, the over-arching, over-reaching issue is poverty. Black unemployment in Chicago is off the chart.”
And yet you are still a democrat, the party of NO, the party of nothing, the party of death, the party of poverty.
Typical liberal blaming everything but themselves. It’s a choice whether or not you steal, kill, rob or go get a job even its shoveling snow.
In the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, they used to say EXACTLY THE SAME about the violence in New York City.
Then Rudy became mayor, then Bloomberg, and the murder rate dropped lower than ever recorded, and even lower than many states - TOTALLY DISPROVING that assertion (since poverty rates didn’t change significantly).
But the media will continue to push that, UNLESS WE PUSH BACK.
In other words, if you give us money we will keep shooting
I’m sure stupidity is pretty high up there as well.
What, if they weren’t so poor they could afford more guns and knives to steal and murder at a greater rate?
Appalachia is one of the poorest parts of the US, yet the crime there is nowhere near any urban area. Gee, I wonder why that is?/s
So the black youth unemployment rate is at about 50%.
What is the “undocumented immigrant” employment rate in the same area? Think there might be a correlation?
And how many of these unemployed youths have an active father figure in their lives?
And what percentage of these youths actually graduated from high school, or even went back to get a GED?
And how many of these unemployed youths were arrested for some crime while in possession of a gun, and were not prosecuted for a minimum 5 years?
By all means, blame the availability of guns ... and then go to your opium den and dream on ...
Odd, my dad grew up in dire poverty in West Philly during the Depression, living in condemned houses and eating out of the garbage. My mom grew up picking cotton in Alabama, living in a house with no electricity or indoor plumbing. Of the 13 kids on both sides, only one was not successful. Guns were everywhere down there, yet gun violence was unheard of. My dad said when he was a kid, crime in Philly was very low. If poverty is a factor,why wasn’t gun violence off the charts during the worst economic times of our nation’s history?
And which party is responsible for putting a good many people on the south side of the Windy City into never ending poverty Danny? I can tell you it’s not those people with a R by their name. The Democrats made Chicago a mess and they own it!
Yo Danny! If “poverty” is such a big problem, why do you lousy bastards on the left continue to import it into America?
Poor white people aren’t shooting each other over a perceived insult/
So Danny, who wants to keep your relatives locked up on the plantation called Chicago?
DAVIS: Because it's more than that. They had overall frustration and a sense of machoism that required a helpless White kid to be available for torture, and none was.
MARTIN: That's Congressman Danny Davis. He's an Illinois Democrat. He represents the 7th Congressional District in Chicago.
I grew up knowing many fine individuals who were poor but they were upstanding, honest, good people. What is ailing the inner city isn’t poverty, it is the culture of victimhood, dependency, despair, and lack of conscience that the Democrat party has been pushing since before World War I. Mark my words, poverty and violence are the symptoms of the disease spread by socialism and the Democrat Party in all areas that they have controlled for generations.
Lots of poor all over America and none of the other poor kill like Obama’s son’s tend to IMO.
