The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. was just the first in a disturbing string of widely publicized deaths of black citizens who were stopped by the police or in their custody.

Orilly? To the rest of us, it looks like another in a disturbing string of coddled criminals who are so used to getting away with crime that they get high on drugs and think they're Superman, and try to attack and kill armed policemen.

There's no precedent in American history for the percentage of blacks today who grow up without fathers. Under Jim Crow and slavery before that, two-parent families were overwhelmingly the statistical norm among blacks—far more so than among white families today. The rate of fatherlessness today is why the crime wave in Section 8 areas is so astronomical. It's programs like Section 8 and the AFDC bounty for bearing children on welfare are what created this monstrous trend—which of course is one of the things that genuinely hurts blacks in poor neighborhoods the most, since it subsidizes the bad actors there.

The comment about how black people in those neighborhoods pay the brunt of the costs for extra policing now required through nuisance fines is a joke. It's everyone not in those neighborhoods—anyone middle class who has a car, and can be counted on to get fined $250 for a routine traffic ticket and actually pay it.
