Exactly.
Case in point West Virginia.
Lots of guns.
Poor AF.
Very, very low murder rates.
Every time you see a list of the poorest counties in America, at least two of them are from hillbilly eastern Kentucky, and yet the violent crime rate there is half the national average.

Also, if it could just be explained away by poverty, there are more Hispanics in the United States living in poverty than there are African-Americans, yet there are three African-American murders for every one Hispanic murder.
Because it's a black culture problem. Most people are just too scared to say it out loud.

Thomas Sowell argues it’s from living under Scots-Irish slavemasters who passed along their “honor culture” from their agrarian/pastoral areas in Great Britain. Basically in their pastoral homeland of Northern England and Scotland, the law was upheld only by individual homesteads or families instead of a centralized police force (you steal my sheep I take revenge by killing you). Respect is a big deal and is how you’re promised not to be fricked with. Sowell says the slaves adopted this mentality and it still permeates black culture.

The people who demand the most respect give the least.

Imo no point in even letting them sit for 50+ years with 3 hots and a cot. Put them down once proven guilty unless we start shipping them off to live in the middle of the Middle East desert

It's not a mentality issue, it's a cold decision to shoot another human being. If in self defense, it's adrenaline kicking in, if intent to harm, it's cowardice.
That's pretty vague.

I’m not against that either.

Quoting fbi crime stats will get your post whacked

Many of the world's problems can be solved if everyone had a high emotional intelligence.

If poverty is the root of crime, then America would have been on fire in the 1930's.
