A small Wisconsin town had it's first armed robbery. Guess his race !

Wisconsin has a very liberal and generous criminal justice system. Time served and probation is a realistic outcome.

Also, some of those states use low bonds by high potential prosecution hoping the person does flee and then for the threat of prosecution doesn't come back. A few decades ago, this was so common that the police/DA in Michigan would tell the person they will not pursue extradiction of the person leaves the state, but if the criminal ever returns they will pursue maximum prosecution. In this manner they were exporting their criminals to other states.

 

And you can bet that 99.9% of those apologists and supporters don't live anywhere near this crap. My small town is 75% white and three black guys tried to rob an elderly couple back in 2012, one was shot in the neck. The other two scrammed and left him lying there bleeding while the police were on their way. I've tried to remember the last time an armed robbery occurred but I can't. A couple of marijuana fields and a meth lab have been discovered over the years, but nothing more.

 

The upper-middle class white progressives should be safe in their overwhelmingly white suburbs for the time being. They have gated access, and live in a prohibitively high housing area to keep out the riff-raff. They'll continue supporting diversity efforts, which would bring more Carmille Nelson types to less-affluent white areas (that historically vote Republican). It helps them feel more at peace for their privileged status, and hey, there's a political benefit too for Team (D)!

 

That's known as "self-loathing".

 

(1) Bring back The KKK … ???
(2) Send *them* back to Africa … ???

 

There is no reason whatsoever that any of us should be concerned with an obscure armed robbery in a town we never heard of.

Nor, does your claim that this is obvious evidence that "thug scum out of the inner cities are starting to make their way towards small town America". You drew that conclusion out of your own hat.

Which is an obvious reflection, not of any facts, but of your own prejudices.

 

Actually, anyone who lives in a small rural town should be concerned about this. Not everyone can afford to live in gated white suburbs with prohibitively high housing prices to keep "diversity" to a minimum. Those people are in danger with this trend.

 

`
Actually, anyone listening to your advice needs their head examined. Based on just one incident, the "usual suspects" are once again chanting the 'beware of blacks" mantra.

 

If you couple this "one little incident" with what's happening all across America, the "usual suspects" do have a valid point.

 

`
Read. All that was posted was ONE incident. No valid points can be made on ONE incident.

 

What does this crime have to do with any of that?

 

You seem to be under the impression that there isn't a big crime problem coming from the young black male demographic. That's fine, as long as you realize statistical evidence is not on your side. I understand how persuasive those feel-good gut feelings can be.

Who do you think is going to bond this guy out?

 

52% of violent crime is perpetrated by a representative 13% of the populace.

The melanin content of a person's skin is irrelevant to their propensity to commit a crime. This is not about ethnicity, what this is about..is indeed a culture.

A culture that remains disenfranchised for going on decades, despite repeated policies and programs designed to address the issues of poverty and crime.

The city of St. Louis was recently named the most dangerous city in America for violent crime as determined on a per capita basis. As a kid, the city of St. Louis had the same reputation. It"s going on 50 years now, and nothing has changed. Do you know why? It's not from the lack of effort to instill some money into the region and job creation, what it is, is the culture remains maladaptive to any sort of positivity.

Inner city Detroit is in it's death throes, and the city of St. Louis is not far behind...

What's the underlying similarity?

A culture.

There's a cultural problem...it's eroding the edges of decent society.

Gun sales are skyrocketing, a person like Donald Trump...a seemingly unlikely candidate, resonates with regular people, who are quite frankly...sick and tired of the denial that there exists a very real...a cultural problem.

It appears "Black Lives Matter" only when a caucasian police officer happens to shoot and kill a black person. Meanwhile a black person is statistically 10 times more likely to be killed by another black person. If indeed :"Black Lives Matter," why not address the cultural problem engrained in many inner cities across America, wherein "Black Lives Don't Matter." There is a degree of hypocrisy in the message.

 

I live in a small rural town near a large interstate, and I don't give it a moment's thought. Our gated community is no less suscetable to breaking and entering that any other part of town is, either.

 

... his gender, his age, and his level of income.

(Hint: He's not a Wall Street hedge fund manager.)

 

I heard he was a Christian too, those dang Christians, most crime in this country is committed by Christians, they fill our jails

How about we stop making excuses for them, and stop tolerating it to begin with?

So he is just a petty thug?

 

I have to say that I do not understand the mentality of people who fervently argue that the solution to this is to arm every law abiding citizen and give them a concealed weapon.

That is the Dodge City argument. It didn't work in Dodge City. Quite the contrary, the violence in Dodge City w as so legendary that they made movies about it 75 years later. Everyone had a gun in the open, and no criminals were deterred at all.

Not only that, gun violence statistics counter that argument as well. It's proponants have only a small catalog of isolated incidents to support this notion.

I am not a gun grabber. I don't own a gun, and see no reason to. But your gun is your business.

None the less, this universal concealed carry argument is not only ludicrous, it's dangerous.

Yesterday, two Sherrif's deputies were killed when a robber opened fire on them in a crowed Panera Bread restaurant.

I can't believe for a moment that those two brave deputies would be alive today if every patron of that restaurant had a gun hanging on their belt.

 

If that is your ruling, so be it.

 

One incident in THIS thread.

There are other threads.

Several of them.

A LOT, actually.

Perhaps you have missed them.

 

Just one robbery in this small town is not something to get alarmed about. I don't even think the fictional town of Mayberry which was 100% Caucasian could boast such a record.

 

If Obama had a son...

 

"Prejudice" and "fear" are frequent dance partners ...

The vast majority of crimes are committed by young males ...

 

So is ignorance and stupidity.

Especially when you look at liberals.
