    While the motives might differ, the loss of life is the same.

    very few people in my life have a "valued opinion" i found one post you made referring to "de-fund the police" which was a poorly named liberal thing...suburbs generally have more alternatives to crime than direct imprisonment, they have more mental health support, programs to educate young offenders in general...that is what "defund the police" tried to accomplish elliminate some disparity between the huge metroploitan citys and the smaller suburbs....highland park il.has a median income of over 150K and already has available those resources

    You're the poster who decided to politicize the shooting right of the gate.
    And now you have decided it suits you to have lofty expectations of how some should take your partisan bs of a sorry-ass-thread?

    And it's obvious that "defund the police" has caused more harm than good.

    The goal of the defund movement is to apply law enforcement less to black folks, because of equity, or whatever.

    Allowing violent criminals to walk the streets has been a massive failure.

    “In 2018, The Bureau of Justice Statistics released their survey of criminal victimization, breaking down 593,598 interracial violence between blacks and whites. Black Americans committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies or 90 percent, and white Americans committed 56,394 of them or less than 10 percent.”

    That’s a problem. Wouldn’t you agree?

    I’ll remind you that blacks make up 13% of the total population and whites make up 65-70%

    So which group is the most violent and racist? Because it sure as hell doesn’t look like the white people.

    Given that there are many more black men dating white women than black women dating white men it is hardly surprising that black Americans commit significantly higher proportion of interracial violence given that most of the violence in a relationship is committed by the man

    Give that Bullshit a Rest...:smdh:
    Absurd Whataboutism, THAT:
    1) Is completely unrelated...
    2) An utterly misguided attempt to draw "equivalency"...
    3) And Insults the Intelligence of the Entire Forum (and Humanity in general)...

    Nothing here explains why you are blaming guns. Tell me, what is the rate of gun ownership? Not just the number. But the rate. Next, tell me why mass shootings have increased...without blaming guns. Because guns are just a tool. Not even a symptom.

    If it’s not 1/6 then it’s Trump. If it’s not Trump then it’s racism. If it’s not racism then it’s global warming. If it’s not global warming then it’s homophobia, islamophobia, misogyny, xenophobia, Trayvon Martin, Jim Crow laws, slavery or Fox News.

    You might think that because of media hype, but the actual statistics show that women initiate more abuse and violence than men do.

    You’re not giving black women enough credit. Have you ever seen the videos of the brawls at McDonald’s?

    Huh?
    Setting people straight is what I do...
    I can't help it if misguided internet peeps can't understand that "1+1=2"...
    Bringing the less fortunate up to speed isn't my job...
