Obviously the shit wasn't going along just fine or the feds wouldn't have to step in.

Just like DC, crime was spiraling out of control increasing to never before seen levels!

Bro is rooting for military occupation of his own country lolol.

Not the country, just democrat run cities where the mayors have allowed crime and drugs to take over.

What do you think crime is a function of?

[chaos]

What do you think crime is a function of?

Poor upbringing.

[Necrosis]

Poor upbringing.

probably one of the main ones.

So you don't think poverty contributes?

I think sociopathic behaviours have a huge genetics component but that would be a fraction of the populace.

[illuminati]

Poor upbringing.

Poor upbringing
Being Black
Low intelligence
Low impulse control
Poverty ( likely has some impact on many)
Gang culture/ Mentality
No self respect or for their parents let alone other people
Easily influenced

To name a few.

Ahh so your a racist!

what about jesus, would jesus save them? do you have any thoughts on jesus?

No. Plenty of people live in poverty that aren't thieves, violent or drug addicts. There is one demographic that contributes the most crime because it's cool to be ghetto.

Yes that demographic is Being Black.

Most of the people who are having problems (lack of education, committing crime, etc.) come from either poor families or broken homes.  Socio-economic status and the absence of fathers in the home are the main contributors.  Race has nothing to do with it.

Race is the biggest predictor of socio-economic status.

Have to disagree - Race has a lot to do with it.

[Dos Equis]

Nah.  There is nothing genetic about socio-economic status, crime, success, etc.  No person is going to succeed, commit crime, or fail because their ethnic background forces them to do so.  You can take any kid and plug him or her into a certain environment and largely predict what will happen with their life.  For example, a kid, regardless of race, from a two-parent household with educated parents, in a normal relationship, is unlikely to produce a child who turns out to be a thug.  Not every kid from a broken home is a thug, but the overwhelming majority of bad actors and poor performers come from similar socio-economic backgrounds, regardless of race or ethnicity.

again, just because plenty of people live in poverty and dont commit crime does not mean poverty increases crime rate. Poverty obviously increases crime rate.

I didn't say anything about race, your fellow righties are the racists

Then why is every black country or even neighborhood a shithole?

Not ever going to happen, just like Trump was going to bring coal mining back to pa. along with black lung and mine fires see centralia pa.  Centralia, PA, is a nearly abandoned town in Pennsylvania that became a ghost town after an underground coal mine fire started in 1962 and has been burning for decades. The fire, believed to be caused by igniting an open coal seam, has led to toxic gases, ground collapses, and sinkholes, forcing the government to buy out most of the residents in the 1980s. While a few residents remain, the town is officially condemned, with most buildings demolished and the local highway covered with dirt to discourage visitors. GOOD TIMES
