OT: Forbes Most Dangerous Cities

[The Peeper]

I hate to defend goat here but he has a point.

If the crime rate is the highest in one area, that doesn’t mean it’s high. Just means it’s the highest in that area.

like auburn scored the highest amount of points in their 3-2 victory. They didn’t score a high amount of points though.

We are talking about the highest murder rate per capita city in the entire USA, not Auburn winning 3-2. That's not perceived murders, they're real

It didn't help. Deindustrialization was a factor too. Look at the collapse of the family among working class whites, the deaths of despair among working class whites and the rampant meth and opioid addiction in former industrial towns when the factories shut down. It's just taken a few decades for this to happen in white community

Yep the Republicans are guilty as well. NAFTA basically destroyed small town America. Every small town used to have a factory or two, those jobs moved south to Mexico or overseas.

You are insisting for an example for something YOU said I said???

Here's what you originally chimed in to say was stupid, for reference:

"From what I can see in the red counties near the Coast, this is because those are the guys that flip on others. Get arrested, rat someone out, get released. Rinse and repeat. It's the dumbass kids just selling a little that get the prison terms. The real thugs work the system and get back out on the streets,and the cops and prosecutors are more than happy to see their numbers go up and play along."

I never said anything about a more serious crime, for just one thing, but that does appear to be the case.

Culture does matter but so do other factors. If more Americans behaved like Asian Americans, a lot of the dysfunctional behaviors would decline dramatically:

“If Asians were truly trying to assimilate, we’d get lower test scores…If the goal is assimilation, Asians should have more kids out of wedlock and go to prison more.”

I mean i don’t think Jackson is safe but the highest murder rate per capita could still be low.

Crime is down from 20 years ago.

Not sure about Jackson per se.

I enjoy these OT topics but I'd easily ditch them for a better baseball team.

I’m not moving the goal posts.

No upper level person is taking a plea bargain for a lesser sentence just to get a lower level criminal. I mean rarely if ever.

If you aren’t saying that carry on, boom boom room.

No mention of ‘For profit’ prison corporations and their lobbyists?

free story: was on a business flight and got settled in, opened the laptop to review some stuff and the guy next to me is chatty beyond the “how ya doin” norms, asked me what I did (after peeping on the charts), I gave a brief explanation hoping he’d read a book, go to sleep or just shut up, he didn’t. So I asked what he did, “I’m a retired prison warden and now I work for (some private corp that builds and runs prisons)”, I promptly asked him if he didn’t see a conflict of interest in said corporations paying lobbyists to pass legislation which led directly to the prison population of non violent offenders increasing thereby increasing his companies profits?

he shrugged his shoulders, stammered and stuttered something like “well I don’t know”…..he knew blame well it was and that pretty much ended the chat.

I never said "upper level person" or anything like it in the post you felt compelled to chime in on and call me stupid. So what you are doing is the definition of moving the goalposts you moron. But putting your idiocy aside, yes, they are. "Bosses" or whatever, no, I doubt it. If that's what you took from my post then there was your mistake. But hell yes "bigger" dealers are turning in "lower" dealers to get off. That was the point. That you missed because of your mental limitations. Now screw off you pathetic troll, your betters are busy speaking above your head.

Well, when the municipality has this type of attitude…

Good God, is this real?

The baby mayor is a quiet supporter of this plan from what I understand, being that his father was an advocate as well. The picture I posted is from a group out of Detroit that is one of those fire and brimstone racial advocacy groups. The whole lot, from the above website to the current pissing match in city leadership is just sad.
