Violent crime in America at lowest levels in decades...

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Going by the headlines in the liberal media you would have thunk that were were in a veritable crime wave! Who would have imagined that more guns on the streets actually results in decreased violent crimes and fatalities, despite a depressed economy?

Violent Crime, Including Gun Related Crimes Way Down? How Could this Be? « Dvorak News Blog

Washington Post- Back in the crack-infused 1980s, young men with guns and drugs ruled the single block of Hanover Place NW. People who lived in the two-story rowhouses one mile north of the Capitol fell asleep year round to the sounds of the Fourth of July, a pop-pop-pop that they hoped was firecrackers. It rarely was.

But after two decades of consistent and dramatic declines in homicides and gun violence in Washington and many other major cities, Hanover Place is mostly quiet these days. Complaints to the police tend to be more about kids shooting craps on the sidewalk than about drug dealers shooting at rival street crews. On a block where houses were unloaded for as little as $30,000 in the 1990s, the most recent sales have ranged from $278,000 to $425,000.

As welcome as such changes have been, explanations for the nation’s plummeting homicide rate remain elusive, stymieing economists, criminologists, police, politicians and demographers. Have new police strategies made a difference, or have demographic shifts and population migrations steered the change? Could the reasons be as simple as putting more bad guys behind bars, or does credit go to changes made a generation ago, such as taking the lead out of gasoline or legalizing abortion?

Some weirdo in the Boston thread in KTL was like *we need a police state to be safer* But nikkas aint catchin bodies like they uesd to though. I think cacs, having lived high on the hog for too long are self destructing at the smallest bit of drama in their lives. Meanwhile nikkas like, nikkas die every day b and KIM.

You hit the nail on the head with that. Last weekend more people got shot or killed in Chiraq than this most recent bombing in Boston. I want them to catch all these fukking criminals so people can have a semblance of a peaceful life without having to worry about getting shot or watching a marathon without a damn explosion going off. Its just fukked up at the end of the day. (I just saw those damn pictures of the people in the crowd after the bombing)... Those people didn't do shyt to deserve that.

Black life is just treated different. When cacs get touched, the world has to stop. When brothas get killed they find a way to say they deserved it or minimize the deaths of the people involved by talking about the culture of poverty.

You ain't lying. Its a damn shame too. Don't let it be a gang killing. They are lucky the ambulance shows up to pick up the body...Strange Fruit. And people wonder why I'm paranoid about being a Black Man in America. shyt, they don't give a damn about us. That's why I always believed you have to take care of yourself because in this American wilderness you are on your own. I don't expect Obama to get on tv and say he is going to bring the killers to justice if we get gunned down. Hell no. Won't see no breaking news alerts on CNN or any of the MSM if we get mowed down in mass. We know the deal.

Whens the last time a white person in your life expressed sorrow over a black person who they heard died on the news? I cant think of one time in mine. Ive heard them express joy when someone went to jail or got killed though.

shyt....damn...I think it was Whitney Houston. I was at a bar and this white woman was crying hard as hell...but she blamed Bobby Brown for it...lol. Then when Michael Jackson died. shyt everyone was crying over that. You had a couple cacs cracking jokes but even they were mum on it for a bit. They can be very childish and cruel at times when someone of color dies. Its fascinating but very eye opening. When Hugo Chavez died you would have thought he had killed white people by the boatload the way they were spitting on his grave. It's just sickening.

What an interesting coincidence that gun ownership in America is also the lowest it's been in decades.

They see numbers being low so its assumed we've gone soft and are going in for the kill by praying on sensationalism, hoping we're as soft and bytch made as they think we are.

Freakonomics has a better theory to explain the decline in violence, and when you consider where the clusters of violence occur currently, the Freakonomics theory stacks up rather nicely.

I find the premise of the OP hilarious. It has been conservatives who continue to preach paranoia despite statistics that say otherwise. In this same period of policies that have been more social and lifestyle friendly its not that surprising. Prosperity = aint got time for that nonsense. Safety nets = not worth going to jail for bull, even in times of hardship. Cultural amalgamation into homogeny = lower crime. High level of perceived satisfaction = no time for bull. Not the bull that the conservatives would have you believe.

That Freakonomics explanation was simple as hell and ignored a host of other variables, but I can see why your self hating ass would buy into that theory.
