I always hear how the murder rates in cities is because of poverty and drug abuse but they can’t ever explain West Virginia

Well, it is easily explained but it could lead to a ban or two

I mean you are talking about maybe a few years. Yeah there is a big gap between like Maine and America Somoa, but the middle are closer together in median age. One state could have median age of 41 and the next is 40.8


Louisiana has a median age of 37.8 and West Virginia has a median age of 43. That’s a pretty big difference.

I spend a lot of time in WV. A lot of young people there fall into one of two camps: getting an education and getting the F out or are in severe drug addiction and frankly aren’t going to live long.

Is this really that surprising? In Europe they don't have to eat crawdads and pay those prices for them.

For a native.

They kill each other off and blame us. Rates of domestic violence, homicide, suicide are extremely high in the village, which is nothing more than a socialist experiment.

The villages send the worst offenders to Anchorage instead of actually punishing them, just moving the problem elsewhere.

Yep, Appalachia is an outlier for the "Poverty" being the main driver of homicide.


The truth is our appetite for drugs leads to our homicide rate. The drug trade in the US is uber violent.

Everyone likes to talk about how Europe has culture and us Americans are uncultured rubes. Well, this map shows that while we may not have culture, we have an abundance of culcha.

Yep. Most of Alaska natives dont live on reservations, but the village functions as one.

They send their outcasts to the city where crime just congregates.
