I can't get all misty-eyed about dope dealers and vatos killing each other any more than I worry about people who die from meth. It validates my decisions to avoid such places, especially if my God-given right to self protection is made "illegal" by the corruptocrats who run those places (and who are well protected themselves). <br />BGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-63629511713435563602018-04-18T10:45:29.567-07:002018-04-18T10:45:29.567-07:00Bill Whittle touched on this although approaching ...Bill Whittle touched on this although approaching from a slightly different angle. Gun ownership. He points out how places like Plano, Texas differs greatly from crapholes like Chitcongo etc He points out if you remove these festering pots of waste from the crime statistics the USA has a very low murder rate. A rate that even rivals these often touted low crime countries in Europe. Maybe he and the Rat Man are onto something?<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pELwCqz2JfE<br /><br />Tactless Wookienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-59717780765119064992018-04-18T09:41:27.115-07:002018-04-18T09:41:27.115-07:00Consider trailer parks.

They have, by their very nature, much higher population densities than most of these inner-city neighborhoods, but while they do have a reputation for crime and seediness, it all comes down to who's living there. Druggies and broken-home welfare recipients? Tends to produce said crime and seediness. Well-off retirees and employed nuclear families? Not so much. <br /><br />Or you could look at Greenwich Village. Despite its incurable leftism, it was for a long time a peaceful family-friendly part of NYC, despite being a high-density area. On the other hand, Bed-Stuy. Also high-density....less family-friendly. Slight difference in who lived in those two neighborhoods.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.com
