Came across this on social media. Is this genuine ?

"In 2012, white males were 38 percent of the population and committed 4,582 murders. That same year, black males were just 6.6 percent of the population but committed a staggering 5,531 murders. [...] University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest crime data from the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control and found that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.

Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings annually during this same period."

Is this genuine ?

Yeah, that is what it is.

An intruder comes in with a gun, I have a snowball's chance in hell with a baseball bat

I refuse to apologize for protecting my family

But I guess that would make me a "gun nut" according to you, right?
In your situation getting a gun is the right thing to do but the society is broken if a man has to buy a gun to protect his family in the first place.

And the reason is not gun laws

I call a country, where "stranger danger" seems to be the epitome of the society, nuts.

I have several buddies who work in downtown Dallas and they were emailed late last night and told not to come in today. The majority of downtown and the west end area are considered a crime scene.
Hope they are all OK. :tup:

And if everyone have a gun, then what? People won't break in? Sorry, but even in America no one breaks into a house just to kill someone.

Most of the branches that I underwrite for are not going in to work today

But it is the society that I live in, and have now brought a son into.

I don't disagree with you that the society is fucked, but what am I to do?

You would be surprised.

The irony here is the police last night in Dallas were protecting the right for citizens for peaceful assembly, even if its for the most retarted reason like BLM, and those same morons were cheering & taunting the officers after the shootings.


No coincidence in Baltimore the police force numbers are shrinking and murders are skyrocketing.


But that's what you get when you have 7.5 years of race baiting by a president and DOJ.

I understand you, but I think it's false security and nothing more. But that's just easy for to say, when I live here.
Catch-22, I guess.

America's crime numbers are rooted in their ruthless social and labour policies paired with racial tensions and unique 18th century mindset. Easy access to guns is just the tip of the iceberg

And acting like everyone shot by police didn't do nuttin'. Some didn't, sure, but some certainly did.

I was looking at those articles about the Black Power Organization, and how they are fighting for Africa.

Give me a fucking break. They probably couldn't even name two countries in Africa

Someone needs to tell them that Afro-Centrism is this country went out in the 90's with X-Clan and Cross Colours.

I don't think so. If you learn how to properly use a firearm, you have a better chance of protecting yourself. It can't save you from everything, but you're better off than you would be otherwise.

American crime numbers? That's so fucking broad. A lot are in jail for doing practically nothing. I guess a commercialized prison system does that for you.
