Just legalize marijuana and I bet half of those murders are eliminated. What a bull sh*t drug to die for!!! (They all are though)

It's both, and marijuana is the most commonly sold drug. It draws the highest margins because it's easy to get, popular, and more "acceptable" in society. Note: I do not deal drugs!
[quote=intil90;13961920]does bronx or bk have the higher murder rate?
BROOKLYN AND THE BRONX have the highest murder rate out of all the boros. out of those 2 the bronx has the highest murder rate of any boro , then brooklyn.

ya but the gangbangers dont really stand around selling dime bags of pot. they do sell harder drugs in those quantities. and i dont think marijuana is the most commonly sold drug in the neighbhorhoods im talkin about.

Alright, I don't really want to split hairs over how people are getting shot. My point was that crime would be reduced (in my opinion) by the legalization of pot. What was your point, that it wouldn't be "drastically" reduced, or reduced by half? I think you see what I am getting at...
New Orleans now has 72 murders and now has a per capita rate of 20 murders per 100,000 that actually dwarfs every major city in America. If you look at the national news you would think that Chicago is by far the the most lethally violent city in the country, when in fact, Chicago only looks like a warzone compared to New York and Los Angeles because of those cities historic declines in murders recently. Even Jesse Jackson had the nerve to speak on national tv regarding Chicago's crime problems which showed just how clueless he is by not knowing that the situation down here in New Orleans has been consistantly dire for quite some time with no signs of getting better at the moment.
who cares, so long as it aint me or my ppl. keep it movin.
