This analysis comes up short IMHO; no stats for those wacky cutthroat Amish.
..while Bloominidiot seeks administration position his city has a 15% increase in murder rate
oooooh, he bee racist....
The police -- yes, the police are doing their job.
Leaders in the African American and Latino communities? Please! They are the problem. These are dysfunctional cultures and they need to get this message out. Character matters. Work matters. School matters. What these communities are doing is killing themselves, and too often their leaders see the situation as a way to enrich themselves (Sharpton, Jackson, etc.)
Many of the murderers are in government (democrat party) public housing at taxpayer expense.
Whiteys fault I’m sure.
Does the article bother to mention the actual demographic composition of the city? Does the author admit that even though the ethnic makeup of those arrested is not representative of the population, it is representative of the crimes committed? Does the author draw any inferences from the coincidental fact that the rankings of criminality happens to coincide with ... something measurable but politically incorrect?
Wow, the statistics mirror the unwed mother statistics. But the party of Slavery tells us that we should pay women to be single mothers with welfare; we should have no-fault divorce; we should have gay marriage because women can be just as good as a father as a man.
Democrats: making up for the damage slavery can do since the Republicans ended it.
Looks like the blacks and Hispanics have all the guns.
All of society has an obligation to ensure that its citizens can live their lives in peace and security. The police are doing their job. Leaders in the African American and Latino communities have struggled to do their part, as well. Myriad organizations exist in New York City and across the country to steer the wayward on a better path and to protect potential victims from those who violently veer off it. But new alliances must be formed between the two to get guns off the streets and to break the "stop snitching" culture that allows cases to go unsolved, criminals to go free and communities to cower in fear. It's time to stop being speechless and feeling powerless. It's time the hunted fought back.
Bold emphasis mine. How can someone otherwise so smart, be so stupid?
...and Whitey’s on the moon?
Those damn racist Blacks and Hispanics.
The problem with his scenario is that non-whites just don't seem to be as interested in murder and mayhem, probably in part because they are more likely to face justice.
Does the obligation of ensuring peace and security include removing threats from the country and the world? Does it include the understanding that having programs with hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of unfunded liability do not contribute to security?
(From you) How can someone otherwise so smart, be so stupid?
Ideologies sometimes blind. It isn't guns "in the streets" that are bad, it's guns in the hands of criminals. But guns in the hands of criminals can be cured by guns in the hand of trained, good people. New York might have many good people (doesn't it?) but not so many trained good people and almost none with guns in their daily possession.
They’re just killing the blacks and Hispanics that whites and Asians won’t kill?
This was obviously written by a damned racist! Anything that portrays our brown brethren in a negative light, even when supported with overwhelming proof, is considered racist. It doesn’t matter that blacks comprise a small fraction of the population yet commit the vast majority of crimes. The facts are racist! Damned racist facts! I’m sure someone, somewhere is “offended”. Damned offensive truth! Vile, vile truth! Until someone in the black community wakes up and says “this is not how my people should live” then the black culture will consider to degrade further. The truth will set you free. Actually the author is black and proposes a solution and because he’s black he might not be labeled a racist; I wish him luck.
You are 100% correct. It is not the guns, it is the people who use them. People who basically have no respect for themselves so why would we think they would have respect for others.
Oh, PAHLEEEASE!
Those damn Black and Hispanic racists.
