I don't know. Miami-Dade County region has a larger conservative base than given credit for. Miami proper has a Republican mayor (and still has alot of violent crime), particularly in the northern part of the city. What happened in Miami Beach, however, was one of those once in a blue moon situations. The killer wasn't thinking about whether Miami or Miami Beach was ran by Republicans or Democrats. That killer probably never voted in his life. He doesn't care. He just wants to kill someone.
I have no interested in whether the killer voted. I do have an interest in Democrat lead cities where they allow crime to flourish. I just left one, btw.
Well, you can blame Malcolm X for that. He was the first person to preach such stuff. There are individuals within the Black population who have felt this way about the rest of America's society (including immigrants) for decades. There are individuals who are very angry about what was done to Black people from slavery to the Jim Crow era. Because of that, there are individuals who are full of anger and want revenge of the rest of society. The riots of the 1960s are one example of that. Alot of latent anger for decades
Agree with that. I am sure I have told the story of how I had two older male black friends that I worked with and we used to go to lunch. My friend had a 57 Chevy and I rode in the back and they nicknamed me Miss Daisy. It was all in good fun. But we did disagree when he told me that he taught his kids that no matter how hard they worked, they might not make it because they were black. I thought it taught them to hate white people. I can assure you, my parents never said one word to me about hating blacks or anything and I never did. I did hear my grandpa once use the n word and it made me kind of sick. But I think teaching your kids to hate other races is what lead to where we are today. I have never said a disparaging word about blacks to my kids but living in the Chicago area, it was easy to see them killing each other on the news every night.
Yet a black person can walk in a predominantly white neighborhood without ever having to fear being a victim of a crime. Put it this way, even a black person would admit they feel more safe walking in a white neighborhood than in a black neighborhood.
When I read the Miami Herald news account and it said words to the effect of, "22 year old man shoots and kills 21 year old tourist", I knew automatically it was a black on white crime. The press never reports race when it is black on white crime. It was the reverse, that would be the screaming headline. Sorry my cynicism is so apparent.
Stop making this about race. There are tons of threads about race in here. I want to talk about how crime is flourishing in Democrat run cities. If you continue to make it about race, they will shut it down.
The guy was drugged up, pointed the gun at the baby, baby’s young father stood up stepped in front oh his baby son to protect him and was murdered in front of his young family. The man was caught and I hope he receives the justice he deserves. The fact that a father gave his life to protect his child and showed everyone what a real parent is, should be what stands out. He deserves to be remembered for that.
It's a wonderful example of how correlation doesn't equal causation, for certain.
