what are the racial percentages for the population at large? id hazzard a guess that blacks make up less than half of 34%
What are the racial percentages of those who commit crimes? That's the right question. The reason why is what we should be addressing.
this thread is about the death penalty, not sure what all encompassing crime stats have to do with that
I think there's a really strong correlation between violent crime and violent crime. If your neighborhood is overrun by gangs, more people are going to shoot at each other.
I think there's a strong correlation between race and whether or not you get the death penalty for a violent crime.
IF the death penalty only was handed down to people who truly committed their crimes, AND, IF the death penalty was racist, I would have a problem that more whites didn't get the same result, not that Blacks shouldn't be getting that result. Meaning, I would want all raping murders to get hung. But, that all supposes that there aren't mistakes. But there are mistakes. Innocent people are killed by our court system. That's messed up. Fuck the race, fuck the pain in the actual process, as long as they truly deserve that needle in the first place. I think the state should be required to do due diligence not to cause more pain than needed to get the job done, but I don't think that it matters much in the long run if it takes 10 minutes or 2 hours to get the job done. But lets never do it if we cant be certain they committed the crime.
I think there's a strong correlation between race and committing crimes, and being arrested for them. I went to a friend's wedding in East Palo Alto a few years back. In the church parking lot, several of the cars had bullet holes in them. I never saw that before in any other neighborhood I've been in. Bullet holes in cars are evidence of violent gun crime, no? Why do you think that is?
No. Sometimes people go to the shooting range but park at the wrong end. Besides, if those cars weren't asking for it, why were they wearing such short skirts? barfo
50% black, 50% white, everyone knows that. The right question is why Obama is committing so many crimes. barfo
I would think carbon monoxide would be easy. Or just throw them off a bridge. If someone killed a child there isn't anything too bad for them.
