I’m not sure I understand Slate’s reasoning. The knockout game doesn’t exist because witness accounts for one instance varied from “dozens to hundreds”? Then no crime exists, because there will always be variability in eyewitness accounts under duress. Sounds like better crowd estimates than MSNBC does at the mall in Washington D.C, anyway.
I also like their snide super-plus-good-not-racist implication that (white) Milwaukie residents can’t be trusted because it’s “the most segregated city in the country”. Nice to see what passes for liberal logic.
“Milwaukie residents can’t be trusted because it’s “the most segregated city in the country””
Wait a minute...doesn’t slate routinely publish claims that the South is the source and home of racism?
This is exactly the way Big Lib Media has been "reporting" black crime since the sixties. To wit: black crime doesn't exist. Racist whites make the stories up. Nothing to see here. Of course, brain-dead morons like the writer won't walk down black neighborhoods after dark. We'll give her a choice: she can walk one mile in an all-white neighborhood after midnight, or one mile in an all-black neighborhood. I wonder what choice she'd make?
Wait a second, isn’t Milwaukee also one of the most *liberal* cities in the US?
Actually, San Francisco is the most segregated city in the country. Nary a black to be seen from the Embarcadero to the Cliff House.
