Everyday gun violence is startling, with racial and urban disparities in Wisconsin ( barf alert)

--(snip)

"There is even more to the story: CDC data also show that within our nation’s cities, black Americans are, on average, eight times more likely to be killed by firearms than those who are white. The rate of death by gun homicide for black people exceeds those among whites in all 50 states, but there is tremendous variation in the magnitude of this disparity.

In 2015, a black person living in Wisconsin was 26 times more likely to be fatally shot than a white person in Wisconsin. At the same time, a black person in Arizona was “only” 3.2 times more likely than a white person to be killed by a gun.

The combination of being black and living in an urban area is even more deadly. In 2015, the black homicide rate for urban areas in Missouri was higher than the total death rate from any cause in New York state.

These differences across states occur primarily because the gap between levels of disadvantage among white and black Americans differs sharply by state. For example, Wisconsin — the state with the highest disparity between black and white firearm homicide rates — has the second-highest gap of any state between black and white incarceration rates, and the second-highest gap between black and white unemployment rates. Racial disparities in advantage translate into racial disparities in firearm violence victimization."

They have a much better police Chief now, in Madistan. Of course, they hamstring him at every opportunity, but he takes 3 steps forward and they only pull him back 2 steps, so there’s that. ;)

Black on Black gun violence in Madistan IS out of control. They’ll tamp it down for a while, make some arrests, but then a whole new crop of thugs move in from the Twin cities or Chicago or Milwaukeestan.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Until members of the City Council start getting shot, I’m certain not much will change. :(

In the Dred Scott decision Justice John Taney concluded that if “persons of the Negro race” were considered citizens they would have the same rights as others.
The right to enter and leave states..the right to hold political meedtings...and THE RIGHT TO CARRY ARMS WHEREVER THEY WENT.”

“with racial and urban disparities”, here we have inequality!!! we must have everyone outside of these urban areas in white neighborhoods promote murder amongst themselves to help with racial understanding

You know that is exactly the plan right? Musk was automated cars, owned by the State, in ten years because “people” might drive drunk

Not one mention that over 90% of the shootings and murders are black. The disparity is where a high concentration of blacks live together under a DemocRat government. The deeper blue the city, the more blacks who kill each other.

"What you never see in these proggie pieces: numbers on who is doing the shooting."

It is dishonest journalism. And they flip the strategy when they talk about mass murder, where - because whites commit a higher percentage of these crimes - the emphasis is always on the race of the perpetrator, not the victims.

The killings are related to Tribal war over turf


This seems to be the case in St Louis. STL is a physically small city and blacks and their gangs have very small territories in which to operate. Thugs are never more than a block or two from their gang’s border. So turf wars are constant. It is why STL is nearly always at the top of the list for urban murder rates.

At the end of the day, any turkey can shoot someone across a counter. But can he hit something two football fields away?
Aye, there’s the rub.
A lot of FRiends can do that, and longer.
Maybe I’ll mention that when it comes time to go around the table and everyone says what they’re thankful for, I’ll go last, after the requests for whirled peas, etc.: “I’m thankful for sub-minute rifle accuracy. Pass me them mashed pertaters, please.”

To me, one of the more startling things is that more law abiding citizens aren’t going armed. Especially women, given the automatic disparity of force. I guess they just want to complain about sexual assaults and hope the government takes care of it. All this despite the SCOTUS ruling that the police are not responsible for protecting individuals. Better to just complain, I guess.

Hmm. So who are the shooters? What is the disparity in crime rates between blacks and whites in Wisconsin?

The assailants “unknown/no arrest” (85.3%) in that chart is a damning indictment of the Chicago PD. Still, we can make an educated guess who the lions share off them are.

I call BS on the article as the basic premise is 90 deaths a day. 2/3 of those are suicide.

more likely to be killed by firearms

Yeah, gotta love the passive voice here. Makes it sound like the guns are doing the killing.

You’re talking about American women (not Israeli women), I take it.

American women have been indoctrinated since the 1960’s. Because of that, they are largely lost, confused, unsatisfied and unhappy souls. That mostly vote unwisely, affecting negatively the rest of us. MGTOW resulted from this. Flame away ;-)
