MOD ALERT What a waste of life, what on earth could motivate three youths to go out hunting totally innocent people? Guess we'll find out more as time goes on, its all over the news here in Oz.
America is a violent country. There is no denying that. I notice no names or photographs were released of the kids. That could mean they are too young or it could mean that they are not white. That could be significant because 12% of the population - not white - are involved in half the killings.
Stephens County, Okla., where Duncan is located, is 88.37% white, 2.2% black, 4.92% Native American, and the rest "other." The population is ~43K. Stats per wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephens_County,_Oklahoma#Demographics Just for information's sake. It's not exactly Blackity Blackistan. I thought it was always "the left" that brings up race? Not saying the perps were black (or Latino, nearly 4%), not saying they weren't, but chances are they weren't. It's a terrible act that makes absolutely no sense, but to immediately jump to the "maybe it's because they weren't white" notion is telling. No names or photographs of the perps were released, most likely, because they're juveniles. You likely won't see them until court proceedings begin. From the looks of it, they haven't even been arraigned yet.
Thanks to our wipe-every-nose welfare system most of them are above the poverty line. Of course that gives them a lot of free time on their hands to get into trouble...
:citation needed: According to the 2010 census, 27% of blacks live below the poverty line. I'm sure the 23% above the halfway mark are only above it because of welfare.
Please link to the scientific studies, which determine the gene, present in black people, which casues them to be inherently violent. I'll try to find one which links a gene present in right wing nationalists to racism. - - - Updated - - - Originally Posted by Leffe Would they be poor-black American's or rich-black American's?

Is it possible for someone to comment on the actual murder, rather than commence a black/white debate...
Probably over a girl. That is my bet. - - - Updated - - - Well American blacks have more consumer goods and larger homes then the Euro middle class, so I guess rich is the right answer?
Even by your standards, this is at best, off the top of your head, just made up nonsense! And again (and I believe this is the third time I've asked and had no answer): Originally Posted by Leffe Would they be poor-black American's or rich-black American's?

No, really. Black Americans are more likely to have game consoles, and TVs etc.. then Euros are, and they live in average size homes of 1800sq feet. The Euro average is somewhere around 1600. The average black person in America is richer in terms of goods and services they can purchase then the average Euro. Most black Americans are middle class.
You have done nothing to substantiate this.... nothing. It's Fox news gingoism at best. In which class are the crime committing black American's? Lower, working, middle, upper?
Crime has little to do with class, and a lot to do with democrats. 80%+ of serious crime happens in democrat cities. Rape, murder etc... 70 and 76% respectively in just the 30 worst they own, it covers less then 20% of the population. Meanwhile, lower and middle income blacks in republican towns like sandy springs Georgia have offender rates lower then the euro average. Giuliani came to NY and crime went down dramatically. Did the number of poor blacks change that radically or was a republican in office finally after a long string of democrats?
on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the richest, most black Americans are a 5 or lower. but that doesn't excuse their pathetic gang culture and inner city behavior.
no, crime has everything to do with culture - and right now the black, inner city, thug culture is destroying the black community and is taking America down with it. compare cities like Seattle with Detriot - both are very fiscally and socially liberal but Detriot looks like this whereas Seattle looks like this Quit giving excuses for the obvious !
Nope wasnt a girl, he had a steady girlfirend (American) who he'd recently been out to Australia with. The report says these 3 young youths just decided to kill someone that day and just chose this guy who happened to on his daily jog. Im wondering what sort of motivation could drive a group of people to have that thought process. Perhaps its TM revenge i dont know, we've heard many threats about killing crackers.
It has mounting debt, and is now seeing the middle class leave. It takes some time for Democrats and leftism to ruin a city, 50 years in Detroit. Probably a little more time for Seattle, they dont have the same union infection problem. They also have higher then average crime: Violent crime rate in 2011 Seattle: 294.2 U.S. Average: 213.6 Violent crime rate in 2010 Seattle: 281.3 U.S. Average: 223.2 Violent crime rate in 2009 Seattle: 318.0 U.S. Average: 238.0 Violent crime rate in 2008 Seattle: 291.0 U.S. Average: 252.4 Violent crime rate in 2007 Seattle: 311.2 U.S. Average: 259.7 Violent crime rate in 2006 Seattle: 356.1 U.S. Average: 264.1 Violent crime rate in 2005 Seattle: 354.9 U.S. Average: 258.9 Violent crime rate in 2004 Seattle: 331.6 U.S. Average: 256.0 Violent crime rate in 2003 Seattle: 348.4 U.S. Average: 262.6 Violent crime rate in 2002 Seattle: 354.3 U.S. Average: 272.2 Violent crime rate in 2001 Seattle: 364.7 U.S. Average: 276.6 Violent crime rate in 2000 Seattle: 399.6 U.S. Average: 277.6 Violent crime rate in 1999 Seattle: 393.2 U.S. Average: 286.4 Read more: http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Seattle-Washington.html#ixzz2cQ1W65dn Yes, that is per capita. 50% more violent then the average, and Seattle has half the average number of black Americans compared to the national average. More Asians too, so what is with that myth?
Well it sure aint poverty, given the stats posted earlier and looking up the demographics theres twice the number of whites in poverty than blacks. Roughly 21.7m V 10.5m.
So you think that being a poor Black makes them violent? Being poor and white doesn't seem to make kids as violent as it does Blacks. Why is that? Maybe we should excuse poor white kids; claim that the cop that they killed was profiling them and see if more white kids kill for fun? Some already do but we could get the numbers up if we try? But, this is about a poor guy who was just trying to play his way through life that got killed by scum punks who need to be put to death before they see their next birthdays. Yes, but they don't have any poverty pimps demonstrating in the streets to keep them from getting what they have coming. You are assuming that telling the truth about the Black community as a whole is racist. The Black pro athletes seem to be much more likely to kill than the white ones so should I assume that you think that being poor as a kid gives them reason to kill their pregnant girl friends just like the poor Black men do? Kill a friend for disrespect like the poor Blacks do? Etc. Are you denying that American Blacks are the riches Blacks on the planet? Much richer than most people on the planet and have no responsibility to do anything but eat and make more babies? Answer this? In which class do you find the stupidest people? Wall Street? Black Ghetto?
'Warrior Gene' Linked To Gang Membership, Weapon Use June 8, 2009 Boys who carry a particular variation of the gene Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), sometimes called the "warrior gene," are more likely not only to join gangs but also to be among the most violent members and to use weapons, according to a new study from The Florida State University that is the first to confirm an MAOA link specifically to gangs and guns. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090605123237.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supposedly more prevalent on black males than white...but I haven't found a credible study making that SPECIFIC claim, however, so I'm not so sure about it, just yet.
I was born in India and I have witnessed first hand poverty on a level that not a single thug here in the US will ever have to experience in their lives. It's about the inner city thug culture and it is garbage.
