Plan B is now the only form of birth control? If govt is not paying for it then it is banned? By your standard all guns are banned. Maybe not a troll, just not able to give even a minimal amount of critical thought to your argument.

 

I feel the same way about your myopic dumb responses.

Can understand why people outside that area are pointing to it being created outside that city as a potential problem.

But also understand that city is GANG town and has Gun/Violence issues that are leading the nation.  

 

 

 

So what do they do to help the millions living in that city?  that have to deal with Bagdad level crime?

Here is a nice list of the gangs that run that city and in a strange twist, are highlighted like an accomplishment.

Im guessing if you are a victim or worried about being a victim of that insane crime, you want something done cause the local government isnt doing squat.

 

here are the feds doing some work to break up the gangs.  so similar narrative where a larger body needs to assist.

A lot of the violence probably probably has to do with the Gangster Disciples taking over in that city..  

 

 

the CNN article trying to make it racial and leaving out the reasons why something needs to be done is another fine example of why CNN is trash.

Of all the cities impacted by climbing homicide rates since summer 2020, Jackson really stands out. Data is not easily available for every city but Jackson topped any other US city I've seen 2021 data for with 101 homicides per 100,000. I would guess that local prosecutors are powerless to enforce laws as written due to electoral issues. The elected DA having this in his "mission" section doesn't raise my confidence level much:

 

Quote

We seek to apply innovative policies that work to end mass incarceration and correct the wrongs of the past.

 

"Innovative policies" like your first murder is free, evidently.

 

The state government certainly has an interest in correcting this, and should do everything in their power to do so. I don't know what Mississippi government regs and laws are but some states can relieve local elected officials of their duties if they've proven to not be cut out for the job.

This is actually good.  Stupid people supporting bad candidates is not a winning formula

 

Despite his difficulties since he left office, about a third of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters still consider themselves supporters more of Trump than the Republican Party, according to a recent NBC News poll. Many of them aren’t going anywhere. Fully 28 percent of Republican primary voters are so devoted to the former president that they said they’d support him even if he ran as an independent, according to a national survey last month from The Bulwark and longtime Republican pollster Whit Ayres. Indeed, the “Always Trump” component of the party is so pronounced that it’s affecting how Trump’s opponents operate around him.

“All these folks are just hoping that Trump’s going to have a heart attack on a golf course one day, and that’s going to solve this problem for them,” said Fergus Cullen, a former New Hampshire Republican Party chair. “Not much of a strategy.”

IF the Alaska election is a microcosm of this issue. the GOP was split between trump supported Palin and establishment GOP. and Mary won.

 

Huge amounts of people on all sides of every spectrum have given up and dont trust establishment candidates.   Its why the GOP chose trump over all those established tools.  its how Obama beat Hillary in 2016.

 

If the fear of the orange dude got 81 million to vote for the corporate failure that is biden, why would the left want trump anywhere but, on a ticket, or in the news?

 

 

@redtail  is that one of those trusted journalistic sites you mentioned?

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. ~Carl Sagan

Here's to hoping some of the 4.8 million D's see the light and leave the swamp state.

that would be a huge reversal of the current trends.
