The other trump card in the gun debate.

[Yuri Bezmenov]

Scrap,in the US  it sounds like it  does, there seems  to be a  lot of institutionalized racism in the  pigs and  court system, where  ethnics of whatever  variety, although  particularly (it seems, at least, what with the disproportionate number of non-judicial killings of unarmed  black people by the filth) targeted at blacks there (personally I think the term 'african  american' as a default title for the black american population is more than a bit dumb, since the vast majority of them won't ever have been within half an ocean or flight-path of the african continent  and thus aren't connected  to africa directly themselves. Ancestors way back, yes,  some more recently as slaves, but your average black person in the US probably has very little to do with africa  and it makes little sense calling blacks living in the US 'african americans'), and  more likely not only to be arrested, but to  be convicted, whether they did whatever they were accused of or not.

This sounds like the propaganda about the US that you get in Europe.

It's mostly sad, actually.

Or horrifying, if you're in America, and people who believe this shit are running the fucking country now.

It's like a nightmare you can't wake up from.

You mean people who won't listen to you and instead listen to people who know WTF they're talking about??  People like... Thomas Sowell. 

[Yuri Bezmenov]

I like Thomas Sowell. Very switched on guy.

 

Me too. Very well educated and knows his facts, unlike odeot and Elle.

[Lestat]

That 'UK propaganda', isn't. Its a summation of a lot of posts by americans on another forum. I'd sooner not say which one, since I wouldn't wish to potentially make it easier to track me either
here or there though.

"Global warming" is just the latest in a long line of hysterical crusades to which we seem to be increasingly susceptible.

Sowell is right about that though.  The propaganda is hysterical.  It's 'global warming' when it gets warmer but back to "climate change" when there's floods or freezing temperatures. 

Trouble is, we ate destroying the planet.  The corrupt politicians that fly to conferences in private jets to warn us all about it don't help anyone.  They don't give a shit about the climate.  Onshore wind farms are fucking useless.  Their solutions don't work and they don't care.

So you're saying that Sowell is right but we are destroying the planet?

Hilarious.

Powerful statement. Backed up with facts and shit.

Pack of bloody snowflake SJWs the lot of them.

facts and shit.

Milwaukee has a historical gang problem. While the state of Wisconsin crime trends fall below the national average, the city of Milwaukee has long stood out above both. The city has seen similar declining trends to the rest of the country for property crime, but has experienced a mirror opposite to the nation for violent crime, with rates three times the national average and four times the state average. This article is light reading and has nice graphs. https://www.cityrating.com/crime-statistics/wisconsin/milwaukee.html This article also has nice graphs and suggests the rise in Milwaukee shootings is entirely attributed to race. https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2016/06/16/data-wonk-possible-solutions-to-murder-in-milwaukee/ Don't generally toss racial stats into crime discussions, but this one is alarming. Though mostly liked the second article because it confirms my babyboomer theory is apparently supported by other people, and it will provoke pappy. Cities are allowed to have stricter gun laws than the state level, so instead of shaking their fists at state permit laws, Milwaukee could do something about their own laws. They could also seek guidance from other cities like Los Angeles and New York, which have experienced remarkable success rates in reducing gang related violence through community outreach.

I'm not sure a more realistic scenario would sell any guns.
