I've repeatedly pointed out to that poster and others here that STATISTICALLY once you adjust for poverty....all the claims of racial links to violence and crime disappear. However, they refuse to learn, they just keep repeating the same ridiculous garbage.
Basically, those claims are about as smart as saying you are going to carry your umbrella because you want it to rain and statistics link umbrella carrying to rainy days.
I don't think it is so much a refusal to learn, but some people are trying to justify their ill feelings towards Blacks. However, once you adjust for poverty, as well as education and family status, alot of things change. One thing to consider. Single men tend to commit more crimes than married men, and this goes across all ethnicities.
I was "called out" by a non-sequitur analogy that did nothing to address the statistics that suggest that crime rates amongst different demographic groups are dissimilar.
I have to say, I'm not very impressed.
This isn't about addressing crime statistics. This is about the fact that race alone is not the one factor. He even said that when adjusted for poverty, crime rates will look different. I will add to that. When adjust for education, family status, and employment status, crime statistics will look different as well.
OK OK now back to the thread:
Anyone know what this kids profile is and what happened to him?
I don't know what the kid's profile was or what happened to him. All I can do is guess. Anyone who might attack a teacher shows a lack of respect towards authority. And he is a huge kid, so he might have thought "I'm bigger than you so I'll take you out". I would have to consider whoever was raising him did a poor job of doing so.
Sadly, too many people who have no business having "any" kids end up having them anyway. It shows in their total lack of parenting. Kids run wild like an animal. I'll take that back. Animals behave better than what we see in so many of our young people. It's tragic.
After another black teen thug had punched a lady school bus driver in the face, President Barack HUSSEIN Obama claimed him as his hypothetical son.
Yes, yes, if Barack HUSSEIN Obama had a son he would resemble this thug also.
Will Barack HUSSEIN Obama stick his nose into this case also ?
I think you have your facts mixed up. When did the president defend a black kid that punched a school bus driver in the face?
