Statistics do not support your argument in the United States. Are you from Russia?

It depends on how much splatter you’re willing to clean up.

I won’t argue with you about that area. I’m just saying my own experience has been littered with crimes by whites.

Grabbed: once by white guy
Cheated: multiple times by white guys
Vandalized: White teens

And more.

Fight?

I’m getting too old to “fight” fisticuffs style. Besides, I’m kinda lazy too...

Easier just to shoot you.

Saves on prosecution/incarceration costs.

They’ve done a good job with their downtown area.

Except that after 5:00 pm, it's dead as a post.

The state has no money, so even lobbyists are hard pressed to find clients to wine and dine...

I know. I have been aware of the rape statistics for some years now, and I still can’t get over the vast disparity between black-on-white rape numbers as opposed to white-on-black numbers,which are virtually nil. I am still horrified every time I read of the latest rape and/or murder of an elderly white woman-the most recent I’ve read of, the woman made it to 101 yo only to go out after having been attacked by some feral black thug. That is horrifying to me, that that poor woman lived over 100 years, only to go out that way. I have 6 dogs in my home, and not one of them wouldn’t attack some stranger trying to come in my house. The 6 of them would do serious damage, to say the least.

Two older women were attacked in the parking lots of grocery stores here in Massachusetts recently. Their handbags were taken, and they were injured. I tried to find a link, but can’t.

This seems to be escalating.

It seems to be escalating IMO also. At least I’ve noticed more stories of this particular crime this year. The complete avoidance by MSM of such things as knockout “games” is creating this environment. I am on high alert just to go grocery shopping, and prepare accordingly. I imagine those whites who were attacked and beat until unconscious in broad daylight in the parking lot of the St Louis Kroger, weren’t expecting such a thing to happen, either.

There’s something particularly cruel about an older person being brutally murdered. It’s not right for those to be the last moments of those who are without the means to defend themselves.

It is virtually unacknowledged by the media.

I don’t think it is 80% bad, 20% good. Maybe it is 5% bad, 95% good. But 5% is a large number.

I wish you were right. Nationwide, 32% of black males age 20-29 are in prison, on probation, or on parole [Doesn't count juvenile offenses or convicted felons who are out of prison and no longer on parole]. In many cities, such as Baltimore, it is over 50% (and in other areas, particularly suburbs and rural it is far less). Among black women, below 5% are under criminals justice supervision, less than one sixth the rate for black men. Over all age groups, it's still well above 5% for black men.

One way or another, this number would be a lot lower if we brought back the stocks, the whipping post, and the gallows.

A lot lower.

That wouldn't be raciss. It would be a boon to the Negro community and their white neighbors.

The number would be a lot lower if constitutional concealed carry were permitted in all parts of the country. Everyone would be much better off, including those who currently commit crimes (except for those who choose to die, but they would be no loss).

Pretty remarkable comments here. I have to go to Birmingham pretty frequently, and have a lot of people there. The impression being given here, that it is like East St. Louis or Detroit is fairly ridiculous, and Birmingham certainly isn’t too scary to pull off the interstate in, unless one just happens to be afraid of any settlement of people. As for Avondale itself - yeah, there is not-infrequent crime there, but the area where the interstate passes nearby is also the nearest place on the interstate to Mountain Brook, one of the more affluent communities in the country. And Golden Rule barbecue is right near those exits, and if you are afraid to stop there you are just missing out.

I guess 5% is too low. But 80% was way too high.

What argument have I made that depends on present day statistics?

Thanks for the link.

“Michael Jones, 36, is charged with first-degree burglary, .....”

Wow!!! He will be out in no time. And my guess is that his intent was much worse than burglary. He wouldn’t have forced his way on the woman like he did for just burglary. If her husband wasn’t home, she may have been raped and maybe even murdered.

Are they not going to charge him for assault too? Unfortunately, our laws don’t always allow justice.

Anyone raping a 101 year old woman deserves the most brutal torture possible. They’re not human and don’t deserve to be treated as one.

I feel the same way toward all of them that commit violent crimes against innocent people.

It’s an okay happy hour type place. I don’t really stay out much later than that anymore. It’s a safer area than I believe downtown Mobile or Birmingham.
