Excellent article, and something that many of us here have been saying for quite a while. From the article at the link, here is the money quote:

"It's not 'gun violence,' it's social violence for one tiny class of people."

These 'crime maps' are available for almost every major 'big city' with an 'urban area'. And the surprising this is (/s) -- they all look the same.

But I don't need a Map. I listen to the Chi PD radio calls through an online scanner, like right now (really cool website). So my map is in my head.

I listen to keep track of how my old hood has went to hell, and to check on anything going on near my MIL's house. She's still in the old hood and refuses to move. And Lord knows we've tried to talk her into it a gazillion times over the years.

Thank you, very nice find.

If it were not for America’s “diversity” we would be living in one of the most non-criminal countries in the world.

While you think about thhat think about who is committing the crimes in the other countries of the world.

Is it the same people? In many cases it is.

Heroin addicts comprise about 10% of the population of Baltimore. In the worst neighborhoods, the proportion would be much higher, and then you have to consider those addicted to crack, meth, and other substances. The kind of drug-related violence seen in Mexico already exists in our inner cities.

Blacks and Latinos make up both the largest victim class and the largest perp classes. For statistical purposes, Hispanics are counted as white. This is decieving.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

>>””As a middle-aged white lady, my death rate is probably 1 or 2 per 100,000 — maximum,” Leovy says. “These young men are dying at 140. They’re in a war zone, and the rest of us are living in a different country.”<<

Serious question:
Why is it ALWAYS middle-aged white ladies who seem to think they have the answers for problems within BLACK communities?
Black men in their 20s, in their 30s, in their 40s kill each other. It’s been that way since the birth of Christ and I imagine it will continue until the end of time.

when there is news of a fatal shooting in my town I know it happened in one of about 5 neighborhoods before the anchorman even gets to that part

He makes his point but his maps a slightly skewed because Baltimore is only 30% white. It would be interesting to see an overlay of the racial makeup of the communities across Baltimore.

I did some analysis a few years ago, and showed that if you only take out the inner city gang crime in the top four or five cities in the country... then apart from that the U.S. has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

Excellent links. Thanks for posting.
