Provide a link that proves conservatives are all old white men. Liberals love to throw that erroneous soundbite out.
I never said all conservatives were old White men. You are the one making assumptions.
1) You assumed that I was a liberal
2) You assumed that I believe that all conservatives are old White men
3) I wasn't even talking about you. I was talking about someone else who called liberalism a mental illness. I asked him to show me medical proof. No one has come up with it.
Something else. What you did was the equivalent of answering a question with a question. That shows evasiveness. That shows an unwillingness to just give a straight answer. And furthermore, you calling me asking for proof as an "erroneous sound bite" shows a lack of critical thinking, as well as cowardice.
S&F in NYC was a Guliani era thing and it likely contributed to the reduced gun homicides of that time.
It led to perceptions of profiling and abuse of privlege.
When someone chooses to dress like a thug and congregates with others who do the same they tend to get harassed more than those who make different choices about their attire, relationships and street behaviors. Having said this I suspect that those who make different choices are more likely to be harassed by their peers who embrace thug like personas.
I doubt it, I lived in the South Bronx and was never S&F. The cops generally have a good idea who the neighborhood knuckleheads are and react accordingly. Of course some unaffiliated people are caught up too but I think in the main it was a good strategy.
It has nothing to do with gun control. This is normal. The reason for the hike in violence, is because school is out, and people are mingling more often. In my area, around the end of summer, I can hear gunfire the most in the distance. Not the good kind of gunfire.
Another thing to consider. We have a bunch of ex-military who are out of service, and have barely any legal jobs to go back to. Then is the rap music ( yes I blame that ), with the promotion of negativity. This is nothing new. If anything gun violence is up because of all the talk of guns, and because people are doing on purpose.
We have so much media on Youtube that should be censored as well. Bottom-line violent people are being hired to do jobs, and in store people are not doing anything about the problem. It is like they pair up, people not to get along. It is not even funny at all.
It has nothing to do with Obama, Have you not heard the summer of love?
Bush could have spent 800 billion dollars invading NYC, and Chicago
23 isn't a huge number for the size and population of NYC though. Things will just get worse when more gun laws take effect. Once law abiding people will soon look for black market products due to gun bans. The black market will boom and sell to anyone regardless of criminal history.
That is different, that falls under State Rights. A state is able to do whatever a state wants as long as it doesn't violate federal laws. There is nothing that says states can't used tax dollars for abortions.
If you don't like that, create a petition that bans the use of state tax dollars for abortions.
The FEDERAL COURTS tell us that we can't do that!!!!
The overwhelming number one factor in crime rates is race, not political party affiliation. Wherever you find large numbers of blacks, you are almost guaranteed to find high crime rates. I'm sure that most of you know in your gut that this is true, but you don't want to be accused of being a racist, so you turn it into a political argument.
