Thanks skeen.
In fact, violent crime in recent years has generally been increasing more quickly in jurisdictions without reform-minded prosecutors. Murder rates have been rising fastest in some Republican states led by tough-on-crime politicians.
Now, which States and do those states (FL? TX? OK?) have large metro areas (Miami? Houston? DFW? Tulsa?) that are driving those "fastest rising" murder rates George? Please, do tell us?
Unfortunately, so many Americans, of both political persuasions have no clue what critical thinking is and take blanket statements as the truth.
He's employing the fallacy of causality. B follows A therefore A must have caused B. A lot deeper analysis is needed here but as you note, folks just take blanket statements as truth.
As usual, the solution to problems brought to us by socialism is more socialism. This crap didn't begin without design...thank LBJ's "Great Society." Urban blacks have been trapped by the welfare state for multiple generations with support for fatherless illegitimate offspring, receiving just enough to sustain life...much like animals in a zoo. Then we're supposed to be surprised when they act like animals.
As much as folks love to hate those nee-gros, this is a huge part of it. Generations of young men and women raised without two parents, single women popping out kids solely to get a raise in the welfare check and then those kids are left to turn completely feral. Couple that with a constant bombardment of the message that "you are victims, your sorry life is all someone else's fault so
you don't need to change your behavior one bit,
they do" and you have a perfect storm for a totally failed subset of society.
