Murder Rates Soar In 25 Largest Cities...

when you use words like soar and uptick you just look confused and ignorant

You ARE right, they have been problems. But when you hamstring police, and remove effective policies for political gain... you get poor results. Good intentions and speeches don't stop crime, good policing does.

That tends to be a cultural and societal issue. We didn't see those kinds of issues back in the '90s when crime was much higher.

I keep wanting to do some research about this. How much is crime related to poverty vs culture. I mean, I'm sure some of both are involved to some level, but how much? I keep thinking that poverty is the safe and easy answer that is kind of nebulous in a blameless kind of way (or we can blame it on the other political side), while culture is the elephant in the room that we don't want to address.

Crime has nothing to do with poverty, and all to do with education and moral.
The only crime "allowed" to very poor people is stealing food to eat.

Ultra Orthodox community in Israel is the poorest group,
and the group with the lowest crime rates.
This group delicate itself to education and moral values and the results are great.

And about the elephant, you are totally correct, but the blame is on the left side only.

The problem is not enough thugs in prison.

When they do put them in prison they let them out.

THAT'S the problem.

Until we fix that, the mayhem will continue.

Give them more time. That is exactly what your excuses are doing.

More comments that have no evidence or basis in reality. I know you think the sky is falling. Reality is that it isn't.

Nope. Quite incompetent in that respect. Of course, the embedded terrorists have not been killing Germans as much as French and Belgians after using the Merkel line of entry. ;)

'Embedded terrotists'.

Just like the hidden Russian spies of the Cold War era - there were none!

Bwaahaahaahaa!

Murder Rates Rose in a Quarter of the Nation’s 100 Largest Cities.


Murder rates rose significantly in 25 of the nation’s 100 largest cities last year, according to an analysis by The New York Times of new data compiled from individual police departments.

Murders almost every night in Portland, and elsewhere in the state, we are seeing an uptick.

There is one overriding common denominator in all this...........

Sorry, I don't watch The Americans TV show.

I also don't count that one episode of Miami Vice.

That covers the Russian spies in the US.

I was thinking primarily of spies that had entered our allies countries as immigrants. But you want to exclude the allies, if I understand you correctly.
So, you actually think there were/are no spies in the US or that none immigrated to the US?
Are you also saying that you do not believe terrorists have come in?

Right. Its the new red dye#5 in the Cheetos dust that is causing the nationwide increases in homicide rates in major cities. That happen to be democrat controlled. And happen to have large minority populations. And happen to have massive problems with poverty. And happen to experience unemployment rates higher than all other groups...in some categories more than double the national average.

That stuff is just a coincidence.

The people in San Bernardino have a basis in reality. That women came from Saudi Arabia a pre packaged radical. Try facts, they won't hurt you.

Why would I care about what our allies do?

Their intelligence and capabilities are not as good as ours.

Why would I trust another country that requires foreign aid and then pretends to be our friend?

Since your primary source for information has been YouTube videos, the question made perfect sense.

That is not true. My primary source is the written word. But you have read everyone of my posts and are an expert?

So. Is you are an expert on the San Bernardino shooting - fascinating.

So you are also an expert specifically on the female shooter's religious history - more fascinating.

Are you consulting with the San Bernardino PD and the FBI on their investigation, or just watching Youtube again?

Never said that I was, but you keep railing about the perfection of your precious YouTube videos.

It is a logical conclusion.

You know as well as I do her history was in the news for days. I do not have to consult anyone on accepted facts, do you?
