Another maniac with a gun fires into a crowd.

Martin Luther would still be writing out his theses at this rate.

Ok, a martin luther story
He had a friend who thought he would be more righteous if he castrated himself, so he did.
A few months later, the friend confided to luther that he wished he hadn't done it.
Luther replied, "yes, I'd rather have a set added than give up the one I have"
True story
 
I see you talking shit as usual in between your flask flips but no receipts. Again, as usual.

No problemo, Franzia. Keep burrowing in this section of Lit where it's safer for you to talk your shit, continue pushing that "view this post" button when you know your shit is being called out and you feel more pressed than the pair of pants you just pissed in because the people you have to ignore can smell you coming a mile away. I got more time to see better days happening than you ever will with your remaining just bitching about them.

Them's real facts.

You've said nothing of any value so far.........merely attacked me. As if that is a cogent argument, of even a discussion. I respond to you in reason and you accuse me of being drunk. Is this the basis of your reasoning for the crime in the Black community? Am I to blame for your crime? If so, please explain why. More to the point, why are you committing crimes against your brothers and sisters? If I'm the cause, shouldn't I be the victim?

So you spout your bullshit so as to disconnect yourself from the true cause of your problem....................you.

Fuck you.

bwahahahahaha Responding in "reason," he sez.

Look at you getting all mad because I'm not the one and never will be the one to ship your shitty white privilege to talk junk about Black people. In a thread that didn't even mention race to begin with, but you're the one who brought it in first.

Because that's the shitstain you are. As usual.

Already told you where you went wrong and where you can go if you want to read reality and discuss it cuz this ain't the place. So I'm not "disconnecting" from anything. I will always be here to tell you where to fucking go with your myopic race crap and I really don't give a shit if you see it to respond to or not. I put it out there as a counter to bullshit and that's all I need. But lest you delude yourself into thinking it's some sort of purpose centered around you, I do this sort of thing casually with your ilk. Have been since jump. It's never a mission statement. You, on the other hand, will have no choice but to continue being pressed and keep on hitting that view post button like a bitch in order to salve your burnt ego in front of your peers. So...you can go fuck yourself right on back, you useless impotent treestump.

I'm up for a while, bitch. Still enjoying being in my leisure zone. Let's see how many times you'll be pressing that view post button before your retirement home tells you to shut the lights off.

And in that case compression is refinement. I look forward to cogent arguments. Used to be common here, not so much anymore.

Ah, well, can't help you on this one. Not my subject area. 'Whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must remain silent.'

Nice. Reminds me a little of Augustine's prayer.

Mad? As in anger? Don't flatter yourself. You're just another clown at the circus. I'll watch you destroy each other, and I just don't care anymore. You've been free for 160 years now, when are you going to quit acting like slaves?

If you believe yourself to be a slave............you are.

If you believe yourself to be a victim............you are.

You can take responsibility for your own life, or not.

If not, don't expect me to give a rat's ass about you, or your life. Be all the parasite you can be, but when the shit hit's the fan.....you're probably going to be among the first to die.

Yeah, I know, you think that's a horrible thing for me to think. As if you know what I think anyway. In reality, I don't think of you as a dead person, just a source of fertilizer that can feed many more. I keep a positive point of view.

That's not the GB way. I've found over the years on here that the most ignorant are the most vocal.

Aaaaaand now someone's deep in the Franzia zone tonight.

I see no slaves or victims, just a primo aging old-school schleprock being frustrated because the privilege that told him he was a special unique snowflake above all others and which he cruised with all his life isn't getting et up without a clapback like he's used to.

Since the thread's verklempt was predictably switched from basic gun violence to Those Black People® yet again, my good pal Ish whom I quoted above should appreciate these timeless race relations cartoon classics of yore that still hold some social weight in the here and now:

Other people (who are not you) all have "privilege" and you are not a victim in that fanciful view of reality? Interesting.

Winner, I believe, of the 2015 Literotica's Biggest Ego Display Award!
 
Probably won't have to wait long.

Seems a really weird thing for him to obsess about. Thousands of times more likely to have a drunk driver swerve into his lane and kill him than be shot by the odd maniac in an unlucky crowd.

I suspect terrorists do not fully appreciate the uniquely American irrational fear of the statistically unlikely.
 
Thanks Ish, a stunning in depth analysis, as ever.

The statistics along with the results of the interviews you've mentioned are ignored by the anti-gunners and the media that supports them. The anti-gunners imagine a Utopia after the government has swooped in and removed all firearms from the hands of the citizenry.

No one is talking about that apart from you to set up a strawman. The issue is how to prevent firearms falling in to the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable. The obvious way is to limit the number of gun in circulation and force responsibility upon those who sell/own them.

But looking at those nations that have banned virtually all gun ownership you find that although murder by firearm did decrease, other forms of crime, especially burglary, robbery, assault, and rape, increased dramatically.

Cite? Which ones where?

The International Crime Victimization Survey has consistently placed the US near the bottom of the list of industrialized nations when it comes to the citizen being the victim of crime. The UK has consistently been in one of the top three spots on the list.

That depends which crimes we are talking about here and how the crimes are recorded, all the stats that I’ve seen for crimes against the person the US is no better off than any other nation and in most cases substantially worse.

Our, the US's, national disgrace is the Black on Black crime rates for all categories of crime. Blacks commit 54% of all murders while only representing 13% of the population. Latino's are not broken out as a group in the FBI's UCR (they are lumped in with the 'Whites), but informal surveys tend to indicate that they are responsible for approx. 40% of the murders. In this state, New Mexico, they are responsible for almost 90% of ALL crime yet are just over 50% of the population.

So what and what relevance does this have?

Subtracting out the Black on Black crime rates as well as the Latino crime rates the US's overall crime rate, murder in particular, drops dramatically. Of course that sort of expectation is out of the question. But if those groups were to commit criminal acts merely in proportion to their proportion of the population the decrease in crime would still be dramatic.

Great idea, that’s relevant….indeed why stop there, if we subtract out all murders committed by someone in possession of a firearm, it’s surprising to note, your figures look much better yet, and more akin to those of other westernized nations rather than the 3rd world nations that they currently are.

The apologists for those groups, including our current president, blame the past (slavery) and discrimination for the out of proportion criminal behavior. That is a MYTH! If that were true the statistics would reveal an off the charts proportion of the criminal acts would be perpetrated against the alleged oppressing class, whites. That is obviously not the case, they prey on each other, not the alleged oppressor. The fact that they DO prey on each other tends to indicate that there is a cultural malaise within their communities.

Ishmael

Well of course this has nothing to do with the socio-economic conditions in to which most of them are born, are white poor people more likely to commit crime? Oh Ish, we might have just hit on how the oppression persists.

Strangely there is little crime against the Queen, various Dukes and Lords so long the oppressors in this country, how about that!

Of course the easy way out is to blame the darkie, huh and massage the figures down and shout "we don't have a problem it's all them."

Woof!
 
No one is talking about that apart from you to set up a strawman. The issue is how to prevent firearms falling in to the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable. The obvious way is to limit the number of gun in circulation and force responsibility upon those who sell/own them.!

No one is (actively) "talking" about it because it is a non-starter in America. Hillary in a nod to the antigun nuts who actually do want such things recently said that an Australian style registration, ban and confiscation was "worth considering"

Never mind that if such a thing had a snowballs chance in hell of being enacted, in order to be as modestly successful as the Aussie ban which got a mere 20% of guns out of circulation, you would have to pick up (and pay for ) 60 million guns.

So lets say you did that. That leaves 240 million plus guns left. None of the 60 million <registered> guns picked up in such a scheme will have been registered by criminals forbidden already to have them.

You still have the worlds largest mass of privately held guns by a huge margin, so what, exactly has that accomplished? Nothing.

Anything short of that is a complete waste of time. Nothing you can possibly propose sort of 100% ban and house to house sweeps will make a dent into the availability of guns. It is all hot air designed to appease the left and to irritate the fuck out of the right who tend to be gun owners. Nothing more.
 
To protect themselves from spurious allegations, cops travel in pairs in areas with significant black population now. That cuts the number of units available to respond in half.

Add to that the shameful encouragement of calls for racially driven assassination of police officers for no other reason than having the courage to work in crime ridden black communities, made so by backs themselves, they now arrive with a minimum of two cars and they hold back response time until that is available. That cuts responding units in half again.

When you have diminished the capacity to handle 25% of the calls you used to be able to handle, response times go up by a factor of four. Because mathematics.

Criminals notice slow response times and act more brazenly.
Do you really believe that cops traveling in pairs is a new thing?

Go watch some Car 54 and Dragnet reruns.
 
Yes, but just like a fully fleshed out point, it takes a lot of time to make one.

I do admire pith though.

Then one needs marketing to sell diamonds, and pulling heart strings sells much better than facing hard truths.
