That and the drug scrouge no doubt. I really think we should adopt
something closer to the European model and give the drugs away free to
registered users.
A couple of the articles I read after starting to look into this do
point out the spike in the murder rate is driven by violence in a
handful of cities.
I also found out the FBI does not really differentiate between
hispanic and white which falsely makes it look like black people are
killing more white people than they do. The article points out these
may just be rivals in Latino drug gangs fighting over turf.
Just the other day, I read that we've had almost as many mass shootings
(four or more victims) as there have been days in the year. The really
large mass shootings seem to be committed by people with white skin. Do
you think the synagogue shooting or the Las Vegas shooting was
perpetrated by a Latino in a drug gang?
