I see this part of my comment went completely over your head.



Because, that's exactly what you're doing by completely avoiding the logical points made and the statistical FACTS backing the, and tossing all of those cheap buzz words around. What the hell does my comment have to do with trump, the right wing, or white supremacist? This video was made even before trump hinted he would run for office

As for the bolded- Are you denying that the UK has a higher rate of violent crime than the US? Fine, lets up date the crime data for 2016

Do these facts trigger you because you are a blindly loyal leftist or because you're from the UK? We here in black america don't need to be spoon fed political agendas. We deserve to know the facts and truth so that we can use our own good reason to make our own decisions.

"Trigger" "blind loyal leftist" "we here in black america"

Stop. Just stop. Who talks like this?

This is misleading because it isn't an apples to apples comparison. It's a simple, surface level observation, which is popular with the right wing crowd.

So, this piece is calling into question how crimes are reported in the UK and the US. I will read through this when I get the chance and hold off further judgement until then.

"As we were conducting our research, we stumbled across a thoughtful critique of this claim on a blog called the Skeptical Libertarian that was written by Daniel Bier, a master’s degree candidate in economics at Rutgers University. (Bier fact-checked a claim that’s similar, though with slightly different wording than the meme we’re checking.)

Bier’s primary concern about comparing crime rates in the United Kingdom and the United States is that the definitions of crimes in each country are significantly different. This was not reflected in news coverage in British newspapers that appear to have been the source of the meme. This oversight produced a misleading comparison.

As Bier put it, "The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports defines a ‘violent crime’ as one of four specific offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault." By contrast, "the British definition includes all ‘crimes against the person,’ including simple assaults, all robberies, and all ‘sexual offenses,’ as opposed to the FBI, which only counts aggravated assaults and ‘forcible rapes.’ "

Once you know this, Bier wrote, "it becomes clear how misleading it is to compare rates of violent crime in the U.S. and the U.K. You’re simply comparing two different sets of crimes."

Just saw video of students being evacuated. There were bodies everywhere. The slain teacher in the video I saw was a black female too and she was capped in the face. My stomach hurts. This is horrific...

I see a lot of overly simplistic and intellectual lazy anti-gun memes floating around as a way to score political points amidst this tragedy. As African-Americans, especially, we should approach this issue in a politically unbiased manner to pinpoint the major factors and causes with a thorough appraisal of them all given that this affects us the most.

Firstly, there's reports that give a much more in depth analysis of violent crime, such as in the US vs the UK, which is very restrictive on guns, that some tout as a gun free haven, actually has a higher violent crime rate than the US, believe it or not.

The homicide rate is higher in the US, but when you look at homicide stats broken down by different settlement environment types, you find that the bulk of our homicides come small pockets of large metropolitan areas.

Homicides tend to correlate much closer with income, education, resources, family structure, and development environment than with gun liberties. Thus why the bulk of our homicides come from small pockets of large metropolitan areas.

Of the firearm homicides, only %3.4 were caused by rifles(not just assault rifles).

Down with anti-intellectualism!



According to the FBI Uniform Crime Report, in 2016, only %3.4 of the firearm murders and %2.5 of the total murders were done with rifles(knives, blunt objects and hands/feet account for more murders). Assault rifles are but one subset of the rifle group.

Yeah I'm not sure what fukking point you were trying to make:what:

The fact that the UK has about the same violent crime rate with a lower homicide rate is one of the best cases for anti-gun sentiments:what:
