Argo: White people get hit by lightning more often than black people.
tree: Yeah, but black people commit more crimes!

Lol I was driving

How would you all have judged this if Brookes had been shot in the leg, apprehended and charged with assault (and obviously hospitalised)?

There are degrees of response required and "shoot to kill" shouldn't be first instinct.

btw, I'm fully on the side of Higgs here (except when he wrote "He ran and shouldn't of" )

Instead of debating liberal fantasies like “racism,” we should instead be concerned by the strange surge in black men hanging themselves from trees.

Another one just today. It gives me the same feeling as seeing all those Ferguson protestors "mysteriously" being discovered in torched cars with execution-style gunshot wounds. It's almost so blatant that they want you to know who's doing it

WTF kind of answer is that?

As long as we don't talk about the 400 people shot in Chicago last month.

If we're gonna continue to talk about crime in the US among demographics - do you think we can refer to a certain demographic as African American instead of Blacks?

Oh ffs.

For real

If only Chicago had a well-funded police force! That number could be zero!

Or it could have been 800? You don't fucking know

Take it to the BLM thread. Surely cops aren't doing this now.

I wonder if fewer guns would help

I can’t imagine how.

Oh great point. Toothpaste seems to be out of the tube already on that one though.

But at a certain point the tube would be empty, no?

I see, you didn't include that in your quote there though, so how should i know? now, let's argue about the use of links as bibliographical necessity to substantiate the quote (my typical approach) vs. use of the quote as a teaser with an implied requirement to click the link and read in it's entirety

I figured you'd see the link and understand. I'll lower my bar for you and...

Spoiler: show

cite this better next time.

i know i missed reading the URL

my late-night brain don't work so good

i was all jazzed up and you were the first pretty thing that walked by so i went for it

yes, there is a certain demographic for which that term is still considered acceptable

Thinking you can take guns from Americans is even more unrealistic than testing and tracing down millions of virus cases. It's just people living in liberal utopia fantasy land.

I don't know if stripping blacks of their gun rights is such a good idea with all these racists around.
