Black Lives Matter

Looks like he was getting George Zimmerman'd and came up popping caps at a bunch of Treyvon's getting busy....

8 people shot. Possibly a police officer too.

Not in Japan. Their cities are incredibly safe. I've been there and you can walk around at 2 am without worrying about your safety

Also, black people are more violent. The crime statistics prove it.

Ok, and? What do you propose we do about it? I'm not part of the violence. The thugs in the video are.

Your wrong even in Japan the cities are more dangerous than the rural areas. The most dangerous place in Japan is Osaka which has a murder rate that is routinely two times the national average. In fact Osaka has twice the murder rate of London, guess which one has more black people?

So Osaka has 2 murders in a metro of 35M people? And no doubt those are domestic related. It's extremely safe compared to any city in the USA.

You would never ever see an unruly crowd like that in Japan with the subsequent shootings that went with it.

This is exactly it. These people are the ones commiting the majority of our violence.

Throw in a few mentally unstable individuals that can't cope with rejection in their relationships or in the workplace.

Throw in even fewer people that are just sick, like a rabid dog. That for some reason like to take as many lives as possible.

And that is the break up of our violence in this country.

No the city of Osaka had 56 murders for 2,600,000 people (2012) giving it a murder rate of 2.1 per 100,000 people.
That higher than London's 89 for 8,600,000 people which is a rate of 1.1 per 100,000 (2012).

"Violent culture" also depends...gangs, vigilante justice, mobs, also count as "violent." The United States certainly does have a history of violence.

It's already well known, globally, that urban areas have more crime.
Yes, gangs, drugs and poverty are all reasons for the violence...but , here it is Tuesday and so far this week in Detroit a 17 year old was shot because he was winning a game, a 15 year old was shot because some car drove by the vehicle her mother was driving and opened fire on the car, a woman was shot because she broke up with her boyfriend., two brothers shot each other, no reason given, neither is talking, a guy was shot standing on his porch, victim of a drive by...they had the wrong house.
So, i guess i'm not seeing a whole lot of people being shot for money because they need it to survive or need drugs. Some of it could be gang related, but i wouldn't think a mom and her 15 year old would be part of that. Who knows, it just seems like we have people that know no other way to deal with conflict other then thru violence.
