[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pandemic and increasing inequality -- among other things -- are pushing people of all races, colors, and socioeconomic statuses over the edge. Gun violence is up nationwide. Domestic violence is up nationwide. No where is "safe."[/quote]

Nice excuse.  This is the predictable consequence of last summer’s rioting and anti-police/pro-criminal measures adopted by the DC city government.  Did you know that there are actually studies that have demonstrated that anti-police protests are often followed by an increase in crime?

Here’s an example:

This would be true if increases in crime were confined to areas that saw rioting and anti-police protests. They are not.[/quote]

LOL.  There were protests all over the country.  Name a city where they didn't happen.  [/quote]

You're too narrowly focused on urban areas and gun crimes.[/quote]

Do tell about the non-urban areas.  I’m sure you’re a real expert on rural communities.[/quote]

Urban crime receives more attention due to that major news agencies are located in the urban area.  Does white poor people shot at each other?  You dont see or hear it because no journalists live or have any connection to where white on white  shooting happens.[/quote]

There are a lot fewer white people shooting white people.  That’s why you hear less about it.  Go ahead and look up the statistics if you don’t believe me.[/quote]
