The number of killings in the city is up by 27% over this time last year, he said.
quote:
This week, he told the City Council Criminal Justice Committee that normal neighborhood feuds and the drug trade are no longer driving the city’s murders.
"There are real stressors out there, psychological, mental stressors that have pushed this homicide rate above normal," Ferguson said. "Meaning road rage, meaning stressors such as acquaintance arguments that have escalated to these violent acts."
quote:
Criminologist Dr. John Penny at Southern University at New Orleans says Ferguson’s theory has some merit. He said New Orleans is a melting pot of social ills which can trigger mental illness and violent crime.
"Like idleness, unemployment, under-education, under socialized and just underprivileged and inequities," Penny said. "There’s just a whole lot of insanity around us right now, of mental health issues that are paralyzing the very sense of normalcy."
quote:
Nine people were shot in the city on Monday.
One victim was killed and 8 others injured, including two children and an infant.
That’s on top of ten homicides last week.

They should use logic to try to solve this puzzle.
What, if anything, do most of those who commit homicide have in common?

Are Lefty’s really that ignorant and gullible??
I know, it’s a rhetorical question.
They’re even more ignorant than you can possibly imagine.

Get with the program. OMB totally at fault.

underprivileged and inequities
And the natural response to these two is murder or physical confrontation. That’s why I’m beating to death the next guy that shoots a lower score than me on the front nine.

Communists blaming others for the problems caused by a corrupt culture.
Totally expected, that's what communists do.

They don't actually believe it.
They use obfuscation and word salad to hide the fact that they have no interest in taking direct action to solve a problem, mostly because the kind of action necessary is not conducive towards graft and grift.

Hmm, I wonder if there is someway the people could do something about that.
quote:
unemployment,
Most are doing quite well with unemployment and/or stimulus pay right now. BUT if they want to work there are a shitton of jobs that need filling.

under-education
Who's fault is that?

I don't even know how to respond to this part.
Maybe tweedy can go ahead and open all aspects of the city up and it will help a little with some of this.

So mental stressors triggering you to kill an old woman by punching her in the back of the head is normal?

Why aren’t white folks going around and randomly killing everyone that gets in their way when the get tired and stressed out from constantly being called racist just for breathing oxygen?
