Not to get pie on your face, but I was born and raised in a small rural town and have had immediate relatives living in trailer parks.

Can you say the same?

is this still America? if it was up to me I would have pulled that Duggar woman's uterus out with my bare hands 9 kids ago, but it's not. plus, I do believe others have said this woman has a job and that her son, that almost grown boy, is her youngest. i think there is a lot of assumption in this thread.

Yup, some will very predictably say that's fine, they will protect themselves with their guns. What happens in a prison riot? Hundreds of inmates will always overpower a handful of armed guards. It's obvious why. And the armed forces and law enforcement cannot be everywhere. See any race riot for evidence.

So, maybe you and I wouldn't want the social safety net to go away, or else unintended consequences may fall on us all.

Just a thought.

this and most of the posters here are themselves a paycheck or two from needing social services themselves. of course, they won't admit it.

Also, trailer parks are very sparsely populated and they are spread out across the outskirts of cities. They're not the ultra-concentrated dens of poverty (and 7 people to a room) that inner city projects are in places like Baltimore. Kind of hard to get 28 white country bumpkin people, strewn out across half a mile, together to riot.

There's a reason you've never seen it happen before.
nonsense. there is nothing "cultural" about it. statistically the average white woman and the average black woman in the US have more than 2, but less than 3 kids in her lifetime. the "welfare queen" black woman stereotype is a myth.

That's ridiculous, and all it would send message-wise is she should have just let him stay there.
She said he did these things. The boy said he did it as revenge for the cops having beaten & killed two of his friends. (though he did not identify them).

Why do you look to me for basic facts? Or do you simply ask question to attempt to discredit what was said? It doesn't work you know.

Do you have evidence? Last I saw, the numbers were something like 1.9 per white woman and 2.5 per black woman I think, but I'm willing to be corrected if they are actually the same.

Logic would hold that white households, which presumably have far higher incomes and net worth, could afford more children than black households. But in reality, they have fewer. Because welfare.

That is a serious anger issue. Are the Duggars on government assistance for their children?
