Diversity is a strength!

The color of crime, very dark statistics.

The article does a great job describing the elephant in America’s living room.

Imagine if we could just obliterate those neighborhoods in one quick shot. The country would be 42% safer overnight.

John Lott is one of the greatest Americans in modern times. He has pretty much single-handedly fought off fake leftist scare tactics with pure facts.

I give him a lot of credit for the spread of concealed carry in the 90-2010’s, and some of the credit for the current permitless carry movement.

It is a horrible and sad fact that something like 40% of violent crime in the USA (such as Murder, Rape, Aggravated Assault and Armed Robbery) is caused by around 1-2% of the population.

Here is the one graphic from the FBI UCR (Unified Crime Reporting) database that lays the groundwork for EVERYTHING that follows:

Think about it. Imagine a society where only 100 people live. Think of a plane crash, and 100 people survive in some place cut off from the world.

In that secluded society of 100 survivors, SIX people, identifiable by their sex and the color of their skin, commit nearly HALF the violent crime. The murders. The rapes. Beating people up. Robbing them of their food or belongings. Six people rampaging through this small community. Imagine in a normal world, if you lived in a community and six people commit half the violent crime...what would happen? Likely, those six people would be banished...if they made it out of town. Especially after committing violence against someone who is well known or loved by someone.

What makes this far, FAR more startling is that of the six out of 100 men...it isn't actually all of them. It is only one third of them or TWO people out of that 100 people in that society (according to a study by a very Leftist organization that probably wants that number inflated...so for the sake of balance, let's say it is only ONE out of every six black males who have a felony criminal record.)

To put that in perspective, it could be at the very least, just one black man, or two black men who might be responsible for nearly half the crime.

(Note that I make the assumption that in all of this that there is no easy way to tell which one or two men out of six is really murdering, raping, assaulting, or robbing people in this small society. This is where increasing the volume (going from "6 in 100") to ("600 out of 10,000") makes the point. If you are the police, responding, it isn't "John" as it might be in a 100 person society, it becomes looking for someone who looks like "John". This is a terrible thing for the other five percent woh are trying to support a family, live a law-abiding life. It is that malignant and dangerous one or two percent. That is the sad, sad truth, borne out by the FBI Crime Statistics database. It is unarguable if one accepts those statistics in the graph above as anywhere near the truth.

Well, that explains why I’ve been feeling so safe since moving to a small rural town.

[MileHi]

Is there some common demographic and political component to these counties? I think Lott is closing in on the part the media doesn’t want to talk about.

Nuke them from orbit.

Black society supports black criminals, or at least the elites in black society.

Yeah but it’s spreading.

Harris County Texas. Houston. Run by democrats. DA is a hug a thug idiot. Cop killer was arrested and released within 24 hours. 8 hours from Mexico. Sanctuary city.

I grew up there from 1967 to 1980. It was a very different city/county then.
