So it turns out that, when a mass shooting takes place or is attempted in a location that allows concealed carry, a good guy with a gun stops the shooter 51% of the time.
In fact, concealed carriers thwart active shooters more than a third of the time. If there were fewer gun free zones, that number would likely be much, much higher.
A police officer is trying to break up a fight between two high school students when a third one jumps in and body slams the cop.
Reading this story, I note that it makes no mention of the races of those involved. You know what that means. Just as I suspected, white cop and black attacker. Watch the video and see for yourself.
I’ve said it before. Time and time again.
Because of an attack in comments, I am adding the following:
Everyone, including the press, knows it to be true. If it weren’t true, the press wouldn’t purposely avoid mentioning race whenever the attacker is black. That is the reason why lawless blacks have become a stereotype.
How can you address or fix a problem if you can’t even be honest in identifying the problem in the first place? When alcoholics go to an AA meeting, they preface their story with “Hi, I am John, and I’m an alcoholic…” because admitting the problem is the first step towards recovery. Rather than making the hard decisions to accurately define and solve the problem, leaders and activists deny the problem even exists, or alternatively, excuse the bad behavior by blaming all the mayhem on racism, slavery, and Jim Crow. The message? “It’s not your fault.”
How’s that working?
Blacks are a third of the population in Chicago but commit 80 percent of all shootings. In Los Angeles, blacks commit 44 percent of all violent crime but make up 9 percent of the population. In St. Louis, blacks are less than a third of the population but commit 90 percent of all homicides. In New York City, blacks commit about three quarters of all shootings although they’re 23 percent of the population. That’s just violent crimes.
Property Crimes are the same story, but not as pronounced. Blacks commit a third of burglaries, more than a quarter of property crime in general.
In case you are wondering, Asians are the most law abiding of all racial demographics. They represent 6 percent of US population, yet only commit 1 percent of property and violent crimes.
The Sentencing Project estimated in 2001 that the likelihood of a Black man spending time behind bars in their lifetime was 1 in 3. The odds of a white man going to jail during his lifetime are 1 in 17. Of course, some will claim racism, and I could buy that if there weren’t so much evidence to the contrary.
Cassandra in comments claims that this is a small subset of blacks, yet has not yet provided one shred of evidence to support that claim. I wouldn’t call one third being a “small subset.” He might as well claim that there is one black male committing every crime, for all of the evidence he has provided. That man’s name is Sum Dood.
There is a new crime trending as of late. The crime is as old as predation itself, where a predator waits at a watering hole. The criminal sits near a bank, ATM, or other source of cash. He follows his prey to a more isolated location, and then violently robs them. This is trending all over the country.
The articles on this always give the same, lame advice. Not once do they ever say something like: “Carry a gun, and if someone tries to rob you, shoot them in the face.” or the one I would REALLY like to see: “If you think that you are being followed home from the bank, call ahead and have half a dozen of your armed friends meet you at an abandoned house as an ambush team. When the robbers pull up behind you and attempt to rob you at gunpoint, your friends can engage them with a heavy volume of fire, achieve fire superiority, and render them crime-ineffective, thus rehabilitating them.”
I tried to find raw video of one such robbery, but every one I could find had some dumb assed reporter voice over, inserting a dramatic description of what happened. Youtube has become a website of professionally produced MSM videos, instead of what it began as, a site of user created content. Useless.
In a story that seems to be made of more than meets the eye, the parent of a Marist student was gunned down by a pair of men that police called homeless.
Roy Johnson, 35, was arrested at the hotel and charged with murdering Kutz with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. He was also charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. A second homeless man was also arrested: Devin Taylor, 26, was also arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly possessing a loaded .223-caliber rifle that had no serial number. The two also had bomb making materials and manuals in their hotel room. The local press has already jumped on the ‘ghost gun’ angle.
The shooting apparently unfolded when the two homeless men began firing shots inside and outside of the hotel, and the victim was struck by random gunfire. Local homeless agencies say that the two men were not put in the hotel by their agencies. Both of them have felony criminal records and have served time in prison.
So much of this stinks to high heaven. How were two homeless men able to afford guns, ammo, and the materials and books to make bombs? It seems convenient that ‘ghost guns’ are involved. There has to be far more to this than meets the eye.
As these 8th grade students show off their Glocks at their school graduation, look closely at the rear of the slides. They all have autosears. Gun control works.
Let’s recap the law failures:
but more laws will fix the problem.
So-called food deserts. The Democrat claim is that low income neighborhoods have few places to buy food, and this is because stores are racist. Of course, that is complete bullshit. The real problem looks just like this:
Higher income neighborhoods don’t do this. White neighborhoods largely don’t do this (exceptions being places like California and other liberal strongholds that have decriminalized theft). If you are stealing the food markets blind, they will have no choice but to close.
In a follow up to a post from three days ago, it turns out that the cops CAN use plate trackers to find criminals. Or anyone else, if they really want to.
A few days ago, I promised that I would post more about crime and race to support my contention that blacks are largely unsuited to following the law in a civilized society.
As I said yesterday, science is about following the evidence, wherever it leads. Sometimes the place that the evidence takes us to is inconvenient or flies in the face of our beliefs. The three most reliable evidence of race and crime to my knowledge are the National Crime Victimization Survey, the U.S. Justice Department Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that are based on that survey, and somewhat less reliably, the FBI’s Universal Crime Report (UCR). The NCVS surveys a large group of people about their experiences with crime victimization, so it is not based on what is reported to the police and what the police do with it. The Uniform Crime Reports is based on data from police departments, and is thus generally a less reliable measure of actual crime.
Let’s take a look at these sources and see where that evidence leads us:
We will begin by taking a look at the data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Race and Ethnicity of Violent Crime Offenders and Arrestees, 2018, with regard to rape/sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault, crimes that are referred to as “Nonfatal Violent Crime.”
When you look at this, you would think that Whites account for more violent crime than other races, until you account for the fact that whites are 60% of the US population, and blacks are only 13% of the population. I have posted numerous times about the statistical likelihood of blacks committing murder and homicide. In fact, the evidence is overwhelming and pervasive to the point that I could not find a single reputable source making a claim otherwise.
This poses the question if people of color live in more violent communities or if the local brand of justice is inherently selective. Experts have long been debating this matter.
Even the left acknowledges that blacks are arrested and convicted of crimes at far higher rates than are whites. They attribute this to a criminal justice system that is racially prejudicial by claiming that whites and blacks commit crimes at the same rate, but blacks are being arrested and convicted at much higher rates than are whites. I reject that for one simple reason: That isn’t what the evidence shows.
In order for this claim to be true, cities that have higher white populations and are otherwise of similar in population density would have similar crime rates to those with higher black populations. That isn’t the case. In fact, the 6 largest cities in the US with the highest murders per capita so far in 2022 are New Orleans, Baltimore, Birmingham, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Cleveland. All cities with a high percentage of their population being black.
This is why 28% of the residents of the USA are responsible for 53% of the homicides, with the 10 largest cities in the US having 20% of the homicides. Those ten cities are: New York with 333 killings, Chicago 415, Detroit 332, Philadelphia 246, Los Angeles 578, New Orleans 150, Baltimore 234, St Louis 159, Washington DC 104, and Indianapolis 135 means that of the approximately 14,000 murders in the US in 2014, nearly 2700 of them- about 20%- occur in just those ten cities.
In short, it’s been reliable data in this nation for decades: majority black neighborhoods are crime ridden enclaves. If blacks and whites were committing crimes at the same rate, then black and white cities would have similar crime rates. That is demonstrably not the case, therefore black and white crime rates are NOT the same.
Anyone with evidence to the contrary, please provide it. I am however, going to ask that you provide more than “Nuh, uh. You are wrong you racist.” I have shown my work. You show yours.
If a person cares about this country and the people in it, you must care about ALL of the people in it, even the minority groups like blacks. If you want to improve the nation and its people, then you have to first admit where the problems are. If you are going to do something to fix the black crime problem (and there IS one) then you have to do more than simply say that blacks aren’t committing crimes at a higher rate than all other demographics and claim that it’s just whites are being racist. That isn’t going to fly.
For the past few days, the news in Memphis has been dominated by the reported abduction of a school teacher who was kidnapped while out for an early morning jog. Her abduction was caught on tape and the story was made even more compelling since she is the granddaughter of a philanthropist billionaire. Her body was positively identified this morning, found less than a mile from her accused abductor. The cause of death hasn’t been released, but we can all assume that it wasn’t due to COVID. I’m also guessing that there will be evidence of sexual abuse.
The man accused from abducting her is Cleotha Abston.
Abston has quite the lengthy criminal history, dating back to when he was just 12 with charges including aggravated assault with a weapon and rape, all before the age of 16. Then, just after his 16th birthday, he graduated to the big leagues when he kidnapped a prosecuting attorney Kemper Durand at gunpoint in 2001, before forcing the man into the trunk of his car. Abston drove Durand around in the trunk of the stolen car for hours before taking him to a gas station ATM in order to force Durand to withdraw money.
Durand would later testify in court that he believed he would be murdered after the withdrawal. As luck would have it, an armed guard happened to enter the gas station during the robbery, and Durand would plea for help. Abston was convicted of the kidnapping and sentenced to 24 years in prison after being tried as an adult. He was released less than two years ago. In the two years since being released, neighbors have referred to him as the “creepy pervert” living down the street. He stayed with his brother, who is also a convicted felon (armed robbery). I mention the brother because he was also arrested last week for possession of drugs with intent (fentanyl and heroin) and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. (I wonder why they didn’t add possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, which would add a 5 year minimum under Federal law. We don’t need more gun laws, we need to enforce the ones we have.)
On Monday, Abston was arrested on charges of identity theft, theft of property under $1,000 and fraudulent use of a credit card, all unrelated to Ms Fletcher’s violent abduction. I’m sure they are about to add first degree murder to that list of charges.
Isn’t it time that we admit that blacks are largely a race of criminals who have a pathological inability to live in civilized society? It’s well documented that more than half of all homicides and nearly half of all violent crimes, are committed by blacks. In Memphis, the chances of becoming a victim of violent crime are 1 in 119, compared to 1 across 341 in Tennessee.
If the young teacher in this case had been willing to admit this fact, she would not have been out jogging in the early hours of the morning. I’m sure that she felt safe, but safety is an illusion. I’ve said this before: Stay away from areas where blacks congregate. Stay out of the cities, and be armed at all times.
As for Mr Abston, I wonder how attached his victim’s grandfather was to her. If I were a billionaire philanthropist and someone murdered my granddaughter, I would find a way to let someone in the jail know that, should her killer meet a particularly painful death in the prison, there would be some kind of reward coming. I might even see if I could arrange for the prison guards to assist in the effort. Justice would be done, and vengeance would be mine.
Isn’t it time that we had enough of this bleeding heart shit?
Local news in Central Florida brings us a report of a Florida college student who was murdered. The victim and his girlfriend were driving through Alabama when they were flagged down by a woman who asked the couple if they could give her some assistance to help get her car started.
The woman pulled out a gun and, along with another female accomplice, attempted to force the couple into the woods. At gunpoint, the robber demanded the victims’ bank account numbers. The victim produced a legally carried handgun. In the ensuing gunfight, the victim was killed and the robber was seriously injured. The accomplice and a small child were apprehended in a homeless camp a half a mile away.
Note that the criminal’s name was given, but there is no description or picture of the criminals, but there ARE pictures of the victims. Not in this article, either.
That made me suspicious as to the race of the criminals. Normally, when there is no mention of race, no description, and no picture of a criminal, the criminal is black.
After a ten minute search of a dozen or so news articles, it turns out I was correct.
It turns out to be the case time and time again.
