Yeah, I completely agree with you there, I just dislike we have an issue with it, especially people saying I'll take a knife to protect myself as if that takes away from the problem. I think in the end we both as countries has some deeper social issues, but America worse. (I am not saying guns shouldn't be banned, but that there's gotta be something more, people are just killing for the hell of it)
It's like that bullshit 13% statistic that gets spouted about African-Americans.
"They're all in gangs" Wow, I wonder if that has anything to do with your government shoving them into ghettos, criminalizing anything they do, and generally doing everything they can to not help the situation at all. It's almost like they come from some of the poorest areas in the country, and have very few opportunities outside of being in a gang.
Same shit with teenagers in London. Kids from some of the poorest areas of the country, no hope, no support, someone puts £500 and a knife in their hand, what do you expect?
I find it sad. As someone who hopes for the best of impoverished people, we can’t even take care of the ones we have here. I’m not saying Dems are bad. But for their political standards they should be doing better.
Not sure, but it seems the largest cities with most violence/poverty are democrat and have been for so long. They’ve brainwashed minorities into thinking democrat good, so they will always vote for them. That’s why in U.S. politics a lot of democrats try to play to minority likings, in an attempt to get votes, yet they never actually do shit for us.
A lot of the time they aren’t run that way at the fault of the city government but the state government. Detroit has a problem with gun violence because Michigan has such lax gun laws.
The state government had way more effect on the major cities in the area than it should. It handicaps these hubs. Missouri has held St.Louis hostage on numerous occasions they try to improve their areas.
> They’ve brainwashed minorities into thinking democrat good,
Right, because minorities have no agency of their own and can't actually ever know what sort of politics they want to vote for right?
They are the puppets that have been brainwashed by the white Democrats to vote for them huh?
> That’s why in U.S. politics a lot of democrats try to play to minority likings
Yeah, imagine that, a political party doing things for the people they represent.
