Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, people are scared to enjoy the area's trendiest neighborhood because Indiana's lax gun laws has been encouraging shootouts there.

I doubt it's the gun laws that are responsible for shootouts in a particular neighborhood. If it's considered "trendy", that often means it's a marginal neighborhood full of poor non-whites. White liberals often believe it's cool and exciting to hang out in these types of places. It's makes them feel enlightened.

As bad as Christopher Lane's murder was, Whites and Asians are the least likely to be murder victims in this country. Blacks, however, do the vast majority of their killing at other Blacks. Black men killing other Black men. If anyone in this country has the most reason to be concerned about their own safety, it's young Black men. I notice you only have concern when Blacks are committing murder or when non-Blacks get killed. However, you don't care if Blacks get killed, and that is the segment of the population getting killed the most.

And you never answered my last questions in my last post regarding Blacks looking for safety and "inhumane" measures you were talking about.

Making stricter gun laws isn't going to really make the murder rate go down. A better question is this. Why do people commit murder at all?

The weird part is that once these diversity loving "hipsters" thinks about starting a family, they immediately run for suburbia for "good" schools.

That's strange, obama told us that the greatest danger to young black men was the racism of whites!

What does President Obama have to do with this? We are not talking about the President, so leave the President, and every other President, out of this.

Why do these overwhelmingly liberal, blue Democratic Obama supporters kill and kill some more, and why do these Democrats occupy over 95% of prisons?



Bush's fault?
In areas in which there are strict gun control laws, yet!

Actually, I really don't care what point you were trying to convey. My point was to show something very flawed. Have you asked WHY so many predominantly Black areas have so many problems? Have you ever asked why Bowie and Missouri City DON'T have problems? I'm trying to get you to think critically, as I do.
In order to think critically, one has to be intellectually honest.
