re: n

OP needs to update the thread title.

It is totally a gun problem and not a culture problem...duh

When its mainly a black cultural problem, they defer to guns.

If its whitey, then its not guns, its white supremacy.

Looks to me we could cut the homicide rate in half by excluding about 3% of the population.

People in the lower class mindset are more prone to violent behavior and represent a disproportionate amount of violent crimes in the US, per capita. Pretty much any social pathology that you can think of can replace "are more prone to violent behavior" and it would fit. Rejection of education Obesity Single parent families Drug use Smoking Alcohol abuse Reliance on social benefits etc. It's not a white thing or a black thing or anything to do with race. It's a culture and a mindset.

I agree 100% and these conditions exist in all race groups in varying degrees.

Plus, you can’t regulate your way out of a culture issue. There has to be cultural pressure at the local level to not do or be apart of this culture. Right now, we have the opposite where it’s celebrated and coddled.

And this didn’t happen at a kid’s birthday party.

According to the grandmother, the older brother (Phil Dowdell) of the birthday girl was shot and killed. He was a senior and had a football scholarship to Jacksonville State. The mother was also shot twice and at the hospital.

I am led to believe they are white when bad and color when good.

True. In reality if we are only looking at stats, its a toss up because many are white, and many are half/quarter indigenous.

This is an interesting graphic. Got a link to it?

But since i am all about SOLUTIONS- im dying to know what certain posters seem to think are “obvious cures”

I’ve already posted them twice:

(1) Better local politicians (mayors, DAs) who put a premium on high bail and long sentences on violent offenders and allocate more resources to law enforcement

(2) A complete 180 in monetary policy at the federal level

So now that I’ve laid out the solutions, are you going vote accordingly?

This story is so bizarre. Here we have at least 4 kids dead and TWENTY people total shot (according to official statements from Alabama authorities). Not a peep from the MSM and barely a peep from the Alabama media that I can see. Governor Ivey released a "thoughts and prayers" statement, but implied she had no details to give.

To make it even worse, the killer is still on the loose. Shouldn't this be national wall to wall coverage? A mass murderer of children out running free?

It’s been the top headline story on Fox News since at least 8:30am when I checked
