Democrats, whew, when it comes to running things, their ideology just does not work.

If it wasn't for the fact that Dems have gained possession of some of the nicest parts of the country, even more people would acknowledge that the Dems game-plan is horrible.

So, we are supposed to believe the murders take place because of welfare..... That might work with Alt-Right crowd a a Trump rally, but most people see through the BS
Just the same way feminists use the patriarchy as scapegoat for everything?

Yeah Baltimore has an insane murder rate but like the tee shirt says, “Baltimore, it’s more than just murder”. For someone who has never set foot in the city, you got no cred.
So you attack the op just simply by saying he has no credibility?

Republican-run San Diego has 1.4 million people, Democratic Baltimore has 610,000 people

Democratic cities that are inexpensive and have had a big exodus tend to extremely high homicide rates.

What is interesting is how many liberals like to bash Omaha as an example of a Republican city with high homicide rates.

It has a very conservative Republican mayor.

Yet, Omaha with 475,000 people has had 20 homicides this year.

https://homicides.news.baltimoresun....ll&article=all

Liberal Baltimore has had 235 with 610,000 people.
Black lives only matter if killed by cop and Kapernick certainly should be credited with dozens of those deaths in Baltimore.

Uh, YEAH! He has never been to Baltimore but presumes he understands the roots of the city’s problems.

//www.city-data.com/city/Bowie-Maryland.html

I thought we were comparing urban areas (major american cities).

You claim Bowie, MD is "predominantly Black" however it seems the numbers don't agree. Is less than 50% "predominant"?

When you mentioned Seattle VS Baltimore you answered the question.

There is nowhere in that article that states that even one of them actually votes or is registered to vote.

We do know that people who are on the fringes of society are much more likely to vote democrat - the poor (before Trump hoodwinked the white poor which will go down in history as one of the biggest hat-tricks ever), the disabled, single mothers, minorities, etc.

In your intake to prison, you're asked a lot of questions like religious denomination, and most of them declare a religion although they haven't attended a religious service in their adult lives. That's what this article is referring to when they say they "register" as democrat. They fill out the survey on intake stating they identify as democrat. You have to go to the actual survey abstract to see this, though.

So let me ask this again. Is there anyone who thinks common criminals generally tend to make it to the polls?

Can you find an article that STATES they do?

I went to the study abstract and found this. The abstract tried to determine if states who are required to notify exfelons when they are again eligible to vote actually increased voter registration and participation of ex cons. "Our findings show little evidence of an increase in ex-felon registration or turnout after notification laws are implemented." So. Yeah. They didn't vote before notification was required, and notification didn't cause them to vote.

Blacks are the largest group in Bowie and are the dominant group in Bowie. Again, why isn't Bowie brimming with violent crime?

I ask because you say race is the reason. Baltimore has alot of problem but Bowie doesn't. Sounds like Black people are doing better in Bowie than in Baltimore.

What a fallacy from the right !
I find that most people who bother to vote whether conservative or liberal aren't exactly engaged in criminal activity to begin with.
