  1. China getting one thing right doesn’t make their entire ideology correct.
  2. With that in mind, censuring the ugly deformed freak is actually anti-Communist.
  3. Now these are the reactionary takes that fuel a reclamation of civilization.
  4. ICD-10 113 Cause List:Assault (homicide) by discharge of firearms (*U01.4,X93-X95) Year/Month:2021 Group By:Single Race 6; Hispanic Origin Show Totals:Disabled Show Zero Values:False Show Suppressed:False Calculate Rates Per:100,000
  5. We used to drive all night, all over town We'd go Waltzing Matilda, when Matilda came around And I always sang them blues to you There's a dirty wind blowing There's a storm front coming in There's an SOS on the seas tonight Steady now, Steady now Soldier hold fast now It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
  6. Are you single and ready to mingle and just had a great first date with someone you met on a dating app? Report their account for in-person issues so you limit their dating pool and you can keep them to yourself.
  7. If someone is a second amendment fan and living in NYC I'm not sure what to tell them lmao. I am not generally a Bloomberg or Giuliani fan per se, but the crime drop in NYC over the rest of the country during their tenures is staggering. There are real issues w/r/t police training around firearm rights. For example because the second amendment exists the presence of a firearm is not on its face a threat or even a basis for reasonable suspicion in many areas. In NYC this is obviously not the case because acquiring a gun permit is nearly impossible for the average citizen. But this cuts multiple ways as a few "blue on blue" incidents have illustrated. So when a police officer articulates their RAS, simply "I saw the imprint of a concealed firearm" is increasingly not meeting the standard.
  8. Terry stops are constitutional. I think late Bloomberg-era stop and frisk, the highest number years for those stops, had like a 12% hit rate (~80,000 out of ~600,000 stops) where a "hit" is a stop that results in a conviction. That's actually pretty good when you consider that RAS is the standard for a Terry stop. Hit rates were higher for the Giuliani years but it wasn't being pushed *as much* and so officers were using more discretion and observation. Again, this goes back to some fair criticisms of how the NYPD operated in the Bloomberg era. Number of Terry stops shouldn't be a performance metric, for instance. CompStat originated in NYC Transit Police, back when that was its own entity. Due to several factors nearly all proactive policing in large cities has ceased which means hot spots are basically only used to determine how many officers will be assigned to take calls there.
  9. Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg-era stop-and-frisk, for one. That was actually one of the most successful "gun control" programs ever implemented. Firearm homicides in NYC fell through the floor between 1991 and 2013. There are fair criticisms of how it was implemented during Bloomberg's tenure but progressives have no interest in nuanced takes and flatly disapproved of it. Same with CompStat-driven "hot spot" policing, more funding and more officers for PDs, zero tolerance, etc.
  10. Leftists: they’re trying to control wages by artificially increasing the labor supply at the bottom with unskilled and inexperienced teenagers! Also leftists: shut up racist we need more immigrants or else the economy will self destruct in five seconds! You can’t take these people seriously.
  11. Re: some posts upthread, solving the crime problem is trivially easy. You don’t even need 20th or 21st century tech. Progressives simply object to any measure that effectively controls and eliminates criminal behavior.
  12. Make friends with crackheads and dope fiends. Then when they’re really jonesing, offer to buy their stuff for pennies on the dollar. Just got a JBL speaker for $20!
  13. If you're looking to make a little extra cash, fire up your local sex offender registry and target those homes to rob. They can't own guns and odds of you being able to blackmail them into silence with something you find there is pretty good.

    Seeing The Gaslight Anthem next month somewhere in Connecticut. Seen them 6 times but not since their brief reunion in 2018.
  15. CDs nuts lmao
  16. You haven’t asked any questions except “but muh racizm!!??” You’re not honest or curious. You’ll continue to insist that the only reason 13% of the population commits nearly 60% of all homicides is this magical, vague notion that apparently doesn’t affect everyone in said 13%. But again, your entire line here is “yeah well white people have it coming.”
  17. Such rotten luck, running into people who have experienced bad socioeconomic factors.
  18. This entire thread is about violent crimes. Homicide stands out in particular. What is the method by which racism causes someone to murder people and why doesn’t it apply to women?
  19. As has already been point out, racism is a faith-based explanation that doesn’t survive scrutiny or controls for commonly attributed effects of racism, such as SES. And once again you’ve failed to engage with all the data. Not only are blacks imprisoned and arrested at rates higher than one might expect given their population share, they also victimize people at a higher rate than their population share would predict based on victim statements. This removes the criminal justice system from the equation, including police and prosecutorial bias.
  20. I suppose to your ilk it depends on the religious group, don’t it?
  21. So in other words, no, they share a race with several other ethnicities. Interesting case study anyway considering that they outperform most other groups, including whites, on a number of metrics. And back on topic, guess which race is underrepresented in hate crime offenders and which is over represented relative to population share? https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/2020-hate-crime-statistics
  22. Did you have a meeting or networking event at which you met some real tools that you know you’ll never do business with? Save their business cards! When you ding someone’s car in the parking lot, take one of those cards, write “sorry” on the back, and stick it under a windshield wiper.
