CNN's Don Lemon On Gun Control: Should We Start Profiling White Men?
RCP ^ | 12/23/2012

Posted on 12/23/2012 8:14:57 AM PST by Altura Ct.

CNN's Don Lemon discusses the possibility of profiling white men in an attempt to prevent gun violence and decrease the amount of mass shootings. Lemon argues that white males between the ages of 18 and 25 were behind nearly all recent mass killings.

On the panel: David Sirota, radio talk show host; Richard Moran, criminologist; Lou Palumbo, retired police detective and private security provider; and Tom Deets, gun store owner.

I think its high time the cities took solid measures to protect themselves from rabid bitter clingers in flyover country.

They must raise high walls around their cities to prevent access in or out so they can live in peaceful harmony as we bitter clinger gun each other down. In a few yeas we’ll all be dead and they can knock down the walls and have the country back. Honest, they can.

Four hundred dead in Chicago so far this year. I wonder if there will be a Christmas Eve/Christmas Day shooting(s) over giving someone the wrong gift. Or just going off because of the Season.

When you have such ‘GREAT’ reasons as, Changing the channel on a TV, who sits in the front seat or back, who gets the big piece of chicken, etc, it appears that not much of any reason in needed for these reprobates to swing into action.

Racist pig.

” . . .anti-psychotic drugs are a better predictor of sociopathic behavior, than the “white male” element.”

Libs love to point to the studies that show that people with serious mental disorders are no more likely to commit violent crimes than people in the general population.

What they don’t tell you is that those “studies” had, as exclusionary criteria, one or more of three factors: history of violence; drug and alcohol use: non-compliance with psychiatric meds. Add those folks back in - and they are a LARGE part of the hard-core mentally ill population - and the likelihood skyrockets past the non-ill population.

Start? It’s been going on at least since the DC sniper shootings. “Lone wolf” white male in a white van. Chief Moose, a black man, clung to that profile because it fit his biases and his thickheadedness allowed more people to die.

Turns out it was a homosexual black Muslim and his underage boytoy hiding in the trunk of an old Chevy Impala sedan.

Oops. Nice profiling there, dudes. Keep using it, you’ll eventually be right and get the predetermined result you want.

Gosh, that sounds so good, I would even volunteer to help them build the walls! ... And no throwing their dead over the walls, either.

That fits perfectly with the thinking on many liberals and social engineers on the left. Mayor Coleman Young, of Detroit, once said that the only way to combat racism is to apply it in reverse - which needless to say is just another form of racism. Liberals can never understand that the ends don’t justify the means. As long as they can promote their narrative of the topic du jour.

No, mass shooting reports do not include drive by shootings in the ghetto. It is racist to report anything which reflects badly on officially aggrieved groups, such as minority youth gangs. We are supposed to be sensitive to the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow, and not be concerned about their crimes.

Not a mention of Chicago.
I'm surprised Chicago doesn't have a city worker driving around in a body truck that just scoops up the corpses found along the roadside.

The liberal cities are war zones, yet the MSM never wants to discuss those. It's always "the other guys fault."

While I do not agree with Lemon’s premise, the fact remains that the left and their lapdog media and Hollywood cohorts have systematically mocked and demonized white males for the last 50 years. The white male is the butt of jokes and stereotyped as a useless bigot. Just look at TV commercials, the white male most often appears stupid and ignorant. Is it any wonder that young white males are beginning to feel put upon and act out in sometimes violent manner?

I agree, profile those groups that need to be profiled. If white middle aged balding males 5’9” to 5’11” are committing a rash of crimes, they should be profiled first when that particular crime took place.

Why are blacks allowed to be openly racist?

...white males between the ages of 18 and 25...

WHITE MALE COLLEGE STUDENTS. "Higher education" also seems to be playing a major roll in these mass killings. Yeah! let's start racially profiling whitey. Whitey isn't a "minority" yet, so they can't be "offended". sarc/

Per capita, blacks are the most murderous people on Earth. Everybody knows it. But go ahead, profile young, mentally ill white males who are known in their communities to be dangerously unstable. Most Caucasians would back it, and it might have stopped this massacre, and Loughner’s rampage, and Columbine....
