Smash and Grab Gun Store Robbery

[caoboy]

I contend that it's not blacks but POOR people who commit the majority of crimes.

I hate to say it but I really HATE poor people. (not talking about people who are broke, there's a lot of those these days) It's something I can't stand about myself. I have no empathy and I don't feel bad for them at all. I hate people who take advantage of the system get on welfare or stand in line to buy their PAPA MURPHY'S PIZZA with an EBT card while I pay for mine with cash I WORKED FOR. I wish I had more feeling for these people but I just can't stand them.

I saw a chick the other day buying pizza with her EBT card and when she got into her car it still had OREGON plates on it.

I was so pissed. I was thinking, can't drag your *** *** down to DMV to get new plates but you can get down to the county office and get your ebt card??? Looks like I was buying pizza for the whole lot of them. I should add that the people in front of them ALSO bought pizza with THEIR EBT card as well. I was the only person in that place paying with real money. Made me sick.

I hated that when I worked at the murph's.

They were downright rude and ordered a bunch of food and soda, then sat there and scrutinized the food as we were making it, *****ed about how long it took, then ended up paying with a fricken EBT card.

They were always complaining about how 'last time' they got the wrong pizza and asked for a discount this time too! Luckily we had a separate machine for EBT, and it made me feel good when I had to run a separate machine for their purchase...while others were sitting there waiting..and I had to punch in the whole EBT number...and make the line get held up, then people would complain about the hold up, and I would tell them it's because the EBT machine takes forever, and then when those EBT people left, others would complain and make comments about how they should only be able to use those in grocery stores.

I like how hispanics don't commit crimes according to that FBI chart. HA.

You can't fix poverty - it's too deeply rooted in the social problems of our society. You have to fix the family. Without good families, kids can't grow up and be successful. Rather, they can - but it's a much greater challenge.

50% of families break up - and 50% of 2nd marriages end the same way. People are too selfish and greedy to stay in their marriages and make it work. My parents have been married for 25 years this year and they both have made sacrifices and worked hard to stay together. Thats' what it's about.

Blacks commit more crime as a percentage of population than other groups. This is nothing more than fact. Do you dispute it?

yup. I do.

• In 2008, 69.2 percent of all persons arrested nationwide were white, 28.3 percent were black, and 2.5 percent were other races.
• Of all juveniles (persons under the age of 18) arrested in 2008, 66.4 percent were white, 30.9 percent were black, and 2.7 percent were other races.
• Nearly 70 percent (69.7) of all adults (persons aged 18 and over) arrested were white, 27.8 percent were black, and 2.4 percent were other races.
• White persons were more often arrested for violent crimes than were black persons, accounting for 58.3 percent of those arrests.
• The number of adults arrested for murder and nonnegligent manslaughter was almost equally divided between black arrestees (49.1 percent) and white arrestees (48.8 percent).
• Black juveniles accounted for 51.6 percent of juveniles arrested for violent crimes.
• White juveniles accounted for 64.7 percent of juveniles arrested for property crimes.

Care to try again, Chico?

Oh wow, I just moved out here from Avon/Plainfield, Indiana a few months ago. I must say that they picked the store with the least inventory lol there are probably 2 or 3 other stores in that area with a much better selection.

But it's sad to see, they were decent folks at Fort Liberty

this thread is starting to reek with racism, not that I really mind.

[audihenry]

yup. I do.

You either don't understand how the numbers are presented or you're trying to put words in my mouth.

I said, "Blacks commit more crime as a percentage of population than other groups. This is nothing more than fact. Do you dispute it?"

Key words being "AS A PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION" not overall crime. A minority can't possibly commit the most crime because they are outnumbered by whites and others.

Number of white people in the U.S.: 238 million
Number of black people in the U.S.: 38 million
Arrests White: 7.4 million
Arrests Black: 3 million

Total whites arrested as percentage of white population: 3.1%
Total blacks arrested as percentage of black population: 7.9%

Raw number source: http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2008/data/table_43.html

So, a difference of 2.5x. By now you're probably screaming "Racism!" because the numbers I used showed arrests, not crimes committed. Fine. Let's look at more numbers.

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2008/offenses/expanded_information/data/shrtable_03.html

Given the population numbers, let's keep in mind that whites outnumber blacks by 6.25 times.

Total homicides white: 5334
Total homicides black: 5943

Adjusted for population, that's 7 times more. (the fact that the FBI numbers don't include hispanics makes this disparity even greater, meaning that whites, mexicans, and other "white" people put together killed fewer people than blacks as a percentage of population.)

I don't expect you to change your point of view nor do I care, but the numbers don't lie. The only people who think that they do are white apologists and racists.

[caoboy]

Your numbers are skewed because you are going by percentages of population of a certain race that commit crime, rather than overall crimes committed by a certain race...don't try to play it off by saying that's what you meant.

How about we just leave the racism out of the thread.

I guarantee you'd not argue the same if it were white people committing the crime.

Overall crime is pointless because the issue was "blacks commit more crime as a proportion of population" which I have shown to be true, with sources. Saying, "blacks commit the most crime in absolute numbers in the world" is stupid, as is any such inference.

Again, how is it racism if it's true? Am I saying, "Blacks are terrible people who only grow up to kill people!"? No. Am I saying, "Blacks are inferior to whites!"? No.

All I am saying, as per my original post which you and other "Racist!" shouters have taken out of context, is that blacks commit more crime as a percentage of population.

Unless you can refute my claim with numbers, sod off.

Is it still racism if it is a matter of fact posted by FBI crime stats?

This is why this problem will never be solved, because people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem, scream racism and refuse to have an honest discussion about why there is a problem and what can be done to solve it.

By the way, your last sentence shows that even you know there is a problem, even though you try to deny it.
