The media doesn’t dare point out the fact that wherever there is a high population density of blacks and/or illegal alien Hispanics, there is a disproportionately high violent crime rate.

Please show a source for the graphics. I am on the same side, but I have an unpleasant suspicion that what is being shown is not factual. I’ve started a study of murder rate by county based on state records and it doesn’t match the mapping. It’s not ready for prime time, but I know enough to question the image. Here’s a link to my preliminary study - CA, AZ, NV and UT are done to my satisfaction. All other states are incomplete, or not even started.

“Simple solution, just make it illegal for Democrats to own guns!”

Simpler solution...make it illegal for Democrats and Lawyers to hold any kind of public office...elective, appointive, or hired.

>>Ooooo, now you’re in big trouble for telling the truth!

Daniel is the most “tell it like it is” commentator out there. So much so I worry about his safety.

Democrat Party, because there's nothing democratic about it.

Original graphic.






Shame the images aren't clear, but the point is crystal clear.

What the left always says is that the guns keep coming in from the areas surrounding the cities where guns are permitted, and if only guns weren’t allowed in the surrounding areas, there wouldn’t be “gun violence” in the cities.

It’s too bad that what they’re saying is that the people in the cities can’t be trusted with the same responsibilities as those in the surrounding areas.

As usual, the left sees the problem ass there being too much freedom.

Based on my personal evaluation of the data, the image on the left is not based on fact. Here is one specific example. The average murder rate per 100,000 population in the US for 2010 is 4.8. Merced County in California near where I grew up is displayed as a “low murder rate (i.e. red)” area on the map. The overall homicide rate for California for 2010 is 4.7 per 100,000. The Merced County rate is higher than the national average for 2010 at a rate of 10 per 100,000.

This map is cr_p. Stop using it. It does us no good to lie. As with other myths, this map does not attribute the data on which it was built so it cannot be checked.
