(LA) BRPD: Armed robbery victim suffers life-threatening injuries; 1 suspect dead, 2 others arrested

The left gets triggered and I see a story like this and no fvks given;never will again.

Are you saying that during the Great Depression more whites were in poverty than blacks (talking percentages here)? I’m no expert on the Great Depression, but I doubt if that is true.
....................................................
No, I’m not talking percentages. I’m saying that even though there were great numbers of whites (AND blacks) reduced to poverty during the GD, that fact did not correlate to significantly higher crime rates. The point I’m trying to make is that poverty is not, in and of itself, a significant causative factor in crime rates.

The 1965 Watts (L.A.) Riots sparked the formation of the Kerner Commission to investigate the causes. Poverty did not explain the looting from stores very well because many of the rioters were not poor in relation to others who did not riot, or compared to people in rural povery.

Looking deeper, the Commission did interviews. When asked why he did not participate in the looting even though he was in the street watching others loot, one teen, denying he was afraid of being prosecuted, simply said “Heck, If my Mon found out, she would have killed me.”

That single quote is really all you need to know about human nature and the importance of family and values.

Double posted for some internet ozone reason. I have no idea. Sorry.

"Usually late at night these are attempted robberies of cash laden street dealers at the end of their shift who are usually armed and suspicious. Suspect there is a lot more to this story."

Ah yes! A classic example of the usual anti-FR trolling technique...

Blacks are also over represented when it comes to poverty. ..................................................
During the great depression Whites were also over-represented when it came to poverty, but that didn’t correlate to higher crime.

I'm gonna need you to go back to school for some more history classes. That is actually how the FBI "G-men" got their full start.

Though the country’s most famous real-life gangster, Al Capone, was locked up for tax evasion in 1931 and spent the rest of the decade in federal prison, others like Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky (both in New York City) pushed aside old-line crime bosses to form a new, ruthless Mafia syndicate.
The end of Prohibition in 1933 deprived many gangsters of their lucrative bootlegging operations, forcing them to fall back on the old standbys of gambling and prostitution, as well as new opportunities in loan-sharking, labor racketeering and drug trafficking.

Public Enemies and G-Men
The kidnapping and murder of the infant son of Charles Lindbergh in 1931 increased the growing sense of lawlessness in the Depression era. Amidst a media frenzy, the Lindbergh Law, passed in 1932, increased the jurisdiction of the relatively new Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its hard-charging director, J. Edgar Hoover.
At the same time, colorful figures like John Dillinger, Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, “Baby Face” Nelson and “Ma” Barker and her sons were committing a wave of bank robberies and other crimes across the country.
Many Americans who had lost confidence in their government, and especially in their banks, saw these daring figures as outlaw heroes, even as the FBI included them on its new “Public Enemies” list.
But after the so-called Kansas City Massacre in June 1933, in which three gunmen fatally ambushed a group of unarmed police officers and FBI agents escorting bank robber Frank Nash back to prison, the public seemed to welcome a full-fledged war on crime.
A new anti-crime package spearheaded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his attorney general, Homer S. Cummings, became law in 1934, and Congress granted FBI agents the authority to carry guns and make arrests. By the end of 1934, many high-profile outlaws had been killed or captured, and Hollywood was glorifying Hoover and his “G-men” in their own movies.
Effects of New Deal and Falling Crime Rates in Late 1930s Violent crime rates may have risen at first during the Depression (in 1933, nationwide homicide mortality rate hit a high for the century until that point, at 9.7 per 100,000 people) but the trend did not continue throughout the decade. As the economy showed signs of recovery in 1934-37, the homicide rate went down by 20 percent.

0% responsibility in the Black community?

> 0% responsibility in the Black community? <

The problems in the Black community are symptoms, not causes.

“Blacks are also over represented when it comes to poverty. That’s not an excuse of course, but it is part of the equation. You don’t see many middle class folks doing street crimes.”

I somewhat follow some of what you are implying...but.

I believe there are other elements present. Such as what exactly does low impulse control have to do with poverty? Like murdering someone because they “dissed” me? Or killing someone while in a heated argument due to so easily slipping out of control? Or killing someone over drugs, etc., etc.?

I imagine very few black “teens” who commit large numbers of murders are doing so to get money to feed a family.

I could possibly understand the poverty angle over crimes having to do with robbing banks etc., (an equal opportunity area of crime where whites likely are in the lead) but how many incarcerated blacks are actually there because of bank hold ups?

Growing up in the rural South, I saw lots of poverty in black areas. But, regardless of the way Hollywood portrayed life in the South, blacks and whites in our community lived in peace. Most of the time the law became involved (in black town) was due to alcohol induced fights etc. Even though the blacks had little money, I was never afraid to walk down the streets at night.
