I agree with this direct local blame laid, but I lay the majority of the blame on Obama and Holder because of the import they gave the Michael Brown event and Eric Garner (although there is some wrongful death blame to be laid there, IMO).
Had these two racists not given Federal Government aegis to protests, and ACTIVELY incited a populace not equipped to understand the real reasons behind the events (i.e., media, government, black icons purposely held them in ignorance and disbelief), perhaps this psycho thug would not have leaped to assassination as a last ditch effort after murder in another state.
Obama, Holder and Sharpton caused this. DeBlasio avidly helped.

We can only hope that Mayor de Blasio has some residual decency, so that he will not defile these two officers' memorial services with his presence.
He has no decency. He is just another
Deffective
Unit (
DU) and a danger to all humanity. They cannot be redeemed.

“Hispanic” is a language group, not a race. Mexicans of Spanish decent are European Caucasians.

Without a doubt, Sowell is one of the most brilliant, insightful social historian of the age.

Great write, but the best statement in the whole thing:
Calling this social degeneracy "a legacy of slavery" is not just an excuse for those who engage in it, it is an excuse for the ideology of the intelligentsia behind the social policies that promoted this degeneracy.
Something really concrete to throw back at libtards every time they engage in this degeneracy.

Actually most Mexicans are Mestizos. Spanish & American Indian descent. That word has been deemed racist by some, so we now have Hispanic or Latino.

An equally forceful statement immediately follows in his text:
Let those who have laid a guilt trip on people in our times, for evils done by other people in past centuries, at least face their own responsibility for the evil consequences of their own notions and policies. If they won't do it, then the rest of us need to stop listening gullibly to what they are saying.
To: Vigilanteman
Such people readily buy the story that ghetto social problems today from children being raised without a father to runaway rates of murder are "a legacy of slavery," even though such social problems were nowhere near as severe in the first half of the 20th century as they became in the second half. It is no "legacy of slavery" it is a legacy of welfare and a legacy of abortion both products of second half liberal politics.

Most Mexicans are indeed mestizos, though much of the ruling elite in Mexico have definite Castillian blood.

The number of dead is roughly equal to the number of slaves imported to North America during all the years it was practiced.

Were that it be so. He’s in his 80’s, and has no stomach for politics.
