Yes, people who shoot other people are less responsible people overall, no one is denying that, but that has nothing to do with what you responded to, or liberalism.
also, what is a stateocrat ? are you talking about statism, in which case you meant statocrats, and in which case most people in this country would fall into the basic definition of it, not just liberals.
The segregation is the geographic aspect. How does broken homes NOT play a factor in violent crime?
Who said that it didn't? Your hypothesis seems to present "broken" homes" and "segragation" as if they were variables beyond the controls of individuals.
When I think of murder risk, Omaha doesn't come to mind. Places like Detroit, Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans come to mind.
Well you mean black murder risk. I don't actually think Nebraska is the top in the country, or maybe 2011 was just a blip in the stats. In Chicago the black murder rate is around 39.0/100,000 while the white rate is normally right around 1.0/100,000.

The Black homicide rate has been quite high in Nebraska for years.
One thing about the Black homicide rate in Nebraska is that it highlights the contrasts that exist.
Nebraska's unemployment rate: 3.9%
Nebraska's Black unemployment rate: 12.6%(7th highest in the nation)
Nebraska's White unemployment rate: 3.5%(5th lowest in the nation)
Nebraska's median household income: $49,075
Nebraska's median household income(Blacks): $27,732
Nebraska's median household income(Whites): $52,861
Nebraska has alot of contrasts. Many would look at Nebraska and think it would not happen that way. Nebraska is conservative, 82% White, and Blacks make up 4.5% of the population. Some might think these kind of contrasts couldn't exist in Nebraska. However, it does exist. It's a tale of two states. There is a Nebraska that consists of some part of Omaha, and the rest of Nebraska. It is a Nebraska with low unemployment rates and a strong economy. And then there is a Nebraska of North Omaha. The majority of Nebraska's Black population lives in the city of Omaha, and most of Omaha's Black population lives on the North side of the city. There is alot of poverty, violence, unemployment, low education attainment. Nebraska has alot more contrasts than many people would think.
I feel like that is what the Black murder rate in Nebraska highlights. It highlights the contrasts in Nebraska. Whites in Nebraska have low unemployment rates. However, Blacks in Nebraska have among the highest unemployment rates in the USA. Stark contrasts.
The numbers were based on 2011 data and it's even more misleading than previous years. Nebraska's overall murder rate was 3.7 per 100,000 with black people accounting for only 44% of the states overall murder count. In Louisiana the overall murder rate was 3 times higher at 11.2 per 100,000 with black people accounting for 74% of the states overall murder count. The VPC should be banned from releasing this junk. 44% of 3.7 =1.628 per 100,000 while 74% of 11.2 =8.288 per 100,000. Means that a black person was 5 times more likely to be killed in Louisiana than in Nebraska.
I'm sad that say that this is not surprising. Omaha might have a low murder rate, but the major of persons being murdered in Omaha are Black, and consider that there are about 56,000 Blacks in Omaha, it doesn't surprise me to hear about the Black homicide rate being so high in Nebraska. Most of Nebraska's Black population lives in Omaha, most of the state's murders are in Omaha, and Omaha has one of the poorest Black populations in the nation. High level of segregation, high level of poverty and broken homes.

High level of segregation
So should Black neighborhoods in Omaha be gentrified in order to lower the crime rate there ?
