Yet police in San Antonio, Texas, have been scratching their heads over the causes of a dramatic 70% increase in the murder rate this year. Traditionally peaceful states such as New Hampshire, Iowa and Kansas are also experiencing violence unknown a decade ago. Illegal immigration and drugs ?

Yes. Mainly illegal immigration, I think.

Sorry, Mr. Fancy-pants Two-Name Brit, cities like Memphis, Tulsa, Buffalo and Milwaukee aren't "exurbs," but rather mini-metropolises controlled by Democrat race hustlers with significant populations of government dependents.
Any crime wave that truly exists in the exurbs is simply the result of career criminals following the money.
To: 1066AD
"... factors that may be influencing crime, among them the migration of middle-class populations to the exurbs, or distant suburbs, often with weak police forces unable to handle the influx and little experience of urban crime." Escuse me, the ones who are fleeing are not the ones who are bringing the crime. They are being pursued.
If all the banks in the city shut down, where would Willie Sutton go?
Now, what I would like to see is a correlation between gun ownership and the right to carry, versus the influx of "Katrina evacuees" and other migrants.

Illegal immigration is certainly the biggest factor. We should thank our congress critters for protecting us.

Since when is Tulsa or Milwaulkee an exburb. Incidentally, this has nothing to do with "gun laws", it has everything to do with the meth trade and the rap culture. When the kids listen to music that tells them to unleash their inner thug, we shouldn't be shocked when they well, unleash they're inner-thug.
Not too far from hear, in the Birdville area, last week over a series of a few days, a little ghetto drama played out right before our eyes, on the streets and in the papers. Just like a gangster rap song. It had an initial shooting, a retaliation shooting, a kidnapping, and I do believe deceased people came up out of it.
And the white violent crime rate, which had been reduced to nil, is on the rise again because of the meth trade. It is now back to the point where I wouldn't leave my car parked near a trailer park, or a white area where I know that the homes are by in large, worth less than $70,000 a pop, because the Dixie Mafia is back. If you want to really end crime, reverse most of the decisions of the Warren Court.

Researchers are re-examining potential crime-breeding factors, from the role of abortions in poor communities theoretically preventing criminals being bornWTF? Abortion "theoretically" prevents criminals being born? First, that's total BS, second, were it true it would support less crime not more, and third, killing babies is morally reprehensible and is not outweighed by any perceived societal benefit.

This one is easy.
Blacks killing Blacks, and for no reason other than that is what they do -- whether it is over a new pair of Nikes -- or over a square block of gang turf.
My cousin from North Carolina -- visiting NO in the mid 80's with his wife -- was killed for the contents of his wallet as he parked his car in mid-afternoon across from the Cathedral in the French Quarter.
Savages. And, nothing about the current city or state administrations give me any optimism that anything will change.
New Orleans is a derelict cesspool -- and should be recognized for what it is!

I've heard about the crime wave in New Orleans recently.
My question is : why haven't the news reports reported the race of the perpetrators and victims in New Orleans? After all, during the aftermath of Katrina, all the news emphasized the race of the victims. Yet here, the race of the people involved is not mentioned. Why not?
So are we supposed to be concerned about race or not?
To: lafroste
Seems like this guy should get in as much trouble as well.

I suspect a lot of the increase in crime is due to the criminals in New Orleans being flushed out to outlying states and cities as they were trying to escape Hurricane Katrina. Since their old stomping grounds have been demolished by the hurricane, they've set up shop in their new locations. No point in returning as there are plenty of potential new crime victims to exploit in their new digs.

So are we supposed to be concerned about race or not?If the topic is victims and the victims are "people of color", you are supposed to give that laser like focus. If the topic is violence and criminal behavior and the perpetrators are "people of color", you are supposed to pretend it didn't happen. Make no mention of the race, ethnicity or national origin if the perpetrator is one of those "special" groups. It is inanimate objects like guns that commit violent crimes if those inanimate objects are controlled by "people of color". Otherwise, it's a young white male, member of the NRA, driving a white van. I'm sure you remember the D.C. sniper story.
