The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Hey elitist experts! Mock the AGW "deniers" all you want, but then turn those brilliant and logical brains of yours on another hot-button issue and actually look at the data. Because you people are all about the science...right?

Or...could it be that the reality is that you are political hacks, using the cover of "science" to further your social agendas of redistribution of wealth, destruction of traditional American values, swamping the voter rolls with illegals and radically reshaping the greatest country in the history of the world into that deeply disturbed image you created in your head while smoking too much bad pot in your dorm room because you couldn't get a date?

How gun-free zones invite mass shootings

People have been acting for a long time like the United States is the world’s hotbed of mass public shootings. Following a 2015 mass shooting during his administration, President Barack Obama declared: “The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world.”

This belief is constantly used to push for more gun control. If we can only get rid of guns in the United States, we will get rid of these mass public shootings and be more like the rest of the world, gun-control supporters preach.

But America doesn’t lead the world in mass public shootings. We’re not even close. Just last month, a school shooting in Crimea, Russia, claimed 20 lives and wounded 65 others. But Americans usually don’t hear about such events.

Subtract the top several Democrat-controlled cities and the gun crime rate in the United States is pretty much just like Western Europe. And these people know that. But they want to conflate inner-city (illegal)gun violence with lawful possession and use of weapons by typical Americans. That's why they massage the data to such an extent. Gang-bangers killing each other during drug deals magically morph into school shootings because it happened on the playground of the local elementary school. At 3:00am. On Saturday. But the millions of lawful uses of guns to protect innocents are carefully ignored, and the 2/3 of the gun deaths that are suicides are counted in the overall gun violence statistics. Does that really make sense, Mr. Elite Scientist?

We are constantly being warned by our betters that White Nationalist/Nazi/Racist/Anti-Semitic/Home-Grown/Right-Wing terror is coming to a neighborhood near you.

Funny how it almost always turns out to be Leftists or Muslims who are doing the terrorizing.

Hate Crime: Driver Targets Jews In Hancock Park

Some people in a Hancock Park neighborhood said a driver targeted them because they are Jewish. Now police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

The suspect in the case, identified as Mohammed Mohammed, was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon.

27 Gonna plug a Netflix series you morons may enjoy;
"Medal of Honor"
Each episode focuses on one recipient and their actions in battle.
I can only watch one episode a day because it is emotionally exhausting to witness the re enactments of such bravery and sacrifice.
The one thing in common with all the recipients is that they figure "I am not going to survive this" and so they become crazy brave.
Some do survive, others don't.

I'm skeptical but for a different reason. Hillary was a godawful candidate and Trump barely beat her by chipping away in a handful of blue states that the GOP usually doesn't capture. It's going to be a tough slog given that Trump effectively will have to campaign against both parties. It ain't impossible but it's not going to be easy.

(Self correcting! What's the gripe! Assholes...)

They also didn't delve into why the last mini-ice-age occurred, which was before the use of fossil fuels and SUVs back about 400 years ago. Must have been caused by, too many cows in Europe or too many bison in North America or too many people eating meat and owning pets.

Can you imagine the climate changing and greedy white North American males not being the direct cause?

142 Subtract the top several Democrat-controlled cities and the gun crime rate in the United States is pretty much just like Western Europe. And these people know that. But they want to conflate inner-city (illegal)gun violence with lawful possession and use of weapons by typical Americans.

Remember, they throw in suicides as "gun violence" too, both to get the numbers up, and to obscure how much of the violence is limited to a handful of cities.

For example, Wisconsin had 186 homicides in 2017. 118 of those occurred in Milwaukee, which has about 15% of the population of Wisconsin.

If you throw in lonely guys in Rhinelander killing themselves with a firearm, the numbers don't look so bad for Milwaukee.

143 Police say they are investigating reports that the 32-year-old was shouting anti-Semitic abuse at people near the intersection where the attack took place, which has two synagogues. A knife was found in the rented car Abdi was driving, police say. . .


The LA Times reports that investigators are now looking into Abdi's background. Frank says he moved to Seattle from Mogadishu a few years ago and drove to Los Angeles a few days before the attack. He says the suspect's "very concerning actions" strongly resemble those used in recent terror attacks.

169 Actually, in the mid-terms, many of the GOP candidates strongly supported by Trump won their races, and many of the GOP who were never-Trump lost.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

.....................

As I said before the elections.. I thought GOP candidates should be embracing Trump's policy victories in their ads.. they didn't.. at least the ones I saw.. those Reps lost.

But.. my boss dabbles in politics..

He told me that Trump's policies polled dismally out here in the burbs..

We'll never know, of course.. but the districts we lost very well could not have been helped by embracing Trump and his policies.

Anecdotally, I think that is correct.. everyone I talked to in my area suffers fromm Trump fatigue.

172 Remember, they throw in suicides as "gun violence" too, both to get the numbers up, and to obscure how much of the violence is limited to a handful of cities.

For example, Wisconsin had 186 homicides in 2017. 118 of those occurred in Milwaukee, which has about 15% of the population of Wisconsin.

If you throw in lonely guys in Rhinelander killing themselves with a firearm, the numbers don't look so bad for Milwaukee.
Posted by: The ARC of History at November 27, 2018 11:26 AM (TEv5V)


Right. I was actually thinking about this the other night -- they include the 20,000 or so suicides by guns as both "gun violence" and in many cases "alcohol related deaths."

I'd be willing to wager that it'd be just as accurate to categorize those deaths as "divorce / break-up" related.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but who decides what was "related" to these deaths? I'll bet if we studied every single one of those (almost entirely young mens) lives, we could find all kinds of patterns completely unrelated to guns and alcohol that we could use to explain those deaths. Who decided to classify those suicides as "gun related"? That seems like a weird way of classifying it -- sure, guns were the method of suicide, but guns weren't the CAUSE of suicide. Isn't the cause way more important to figure out and try to rectify? (it's rhetorical, I know the answer)

178 Look, I keep saying this, I guess I gotta say it again.

Trump won because he effectively let people vote against both the Dems and the GOPe. It remains my firm conviction that a Trump-centric third party could actually place a significant caucus in the House (the Senate would be a tougher nut, at first). The GOP does not fail simply because people prefer the Democrats; it fails also because it offers the same, just slower. And that's not nearly good enough. We can do better. I've been preaching it for most of a decade now. And the arguments against are weaker and weaker with time.

217 Media tracked down the Honduran woman in the photo that all the "news" outlets are using.

She first said that she was coming to the U.S. because she needs a job. No mention of asylum.

In a subsequent interview, she told Reuters that she is coming to the U.S. to get asylum because of all the gang violence in Honduras.

In third interview, she says she's coming here because the father of her children (she has 5 total) lives in Louisiana (probably illegally), and she's trying to reunite the kids with him.

Apparently none of the intrepid "reporters" asked her how she got to the U.S. border, because she obviously didn't get here on foot. Who transported her, fed her and her kids, provided diapers and other supplies for them along the way? Was she paid to join the caravan? By whom? Who told her to put her kids in the line of fire on the border (and in front of multiple cameras)? And who coached her to change her first answer (about wanting a job in the U.S.) to her second (about wanting asylum because of "gang violence")? What promises were made to her by the caravan organizers about getting into the U.S.?

Does she have any job skills (lol), or is she just expecting to sit on her ass and collect welfare while U.S. taxpayers pick up the tab for providing for her and her brood. And why hasn't she potty trained these kids, who look to be 4 or 5 years old? If they're old enough to run, they're old enough to use the toilet.

233 Well, Somalia is a shithole, so they have to blame somebody. And "introspection" ain't in their dictionary.

And they have a religion that encourages them to hate Jews, even if they've never met one.

I read about some well-meaning effort to introduce Somalis in the US to Jews, in the hopes that this would curb the Somalis' rampant antisemitism.

Good luck with that - the population of Germany in the 1930's was quite familiar with Jews. Didn't help.

253 And estimates are that guns are used to STOP crime 3 to 5 times more then they are used to commit crime.
Posted by: Don Q. at November 27, 2018 11:38 AM (NgKpN)

Much harder to quantify.

Deaths from gunshots are usually easier -- coroners reports are compiled and sent to the FBI. Breaking down the suicide / negligence / self defense / murder numbers involves cross-referencing police reports and whatnot and is more of a PITA.

But how do you compile a list of "self defense use of firearms" that did not result in a death?

...especially when there are / will be close calls -- was that self defense or assault with a deadly weapon? Will someone have to follow every court case and assign outcomes to every single shooting in the US?

How about the situations where a gun is pulled, crime is averted, but no shots are fired? Where do you go to find the numbers on that? How would you even begin? Read every single police report in the country?

Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at November 27, 2018 11:08 AM (so+oy)
--------------------------------------
1-- It was no 2010 and, considering the number of GOP retirements and some funky PA and CA shenanigans, it was far from being a "shellacking."
2--Trump was not on the ticket.

There were many here and elsewhere who believed we would do very well this year given Trump's approval ratings--- (significantly better than Obama's at the same point) --- and given the economic rebound. There were even those who thought that Trump's (relative) popularity with blacks would translate to generic GOP votes!

But Congressional races are not simple votes on the POTUS. Each one has its own squirrely dynamic.

(BTW, the true shellacking of 2010 was followed by Obama's re-election, despite the fact that his GOP opponent did win the suburban-female vote. It's complicated.)

Random gang violence is no good cause for asylum request. Violence directed at a group to which one belongs is. Example: Christians in Pakistan.

At the time, I thought that they were upset not about their worldview being shaken, but in reality by the prospect of losing the unprecedented corporate access to the White House they enjoyed under the previous administration.

Now I suspect something a little different, but related. We've all seen the gloves off corporate cyber-censorship in the last year or so, along with the rollout of China's social-credit system (that seems to finally be getting attention).

I'd be willing to bet at least a nickel that they view the Chinese system is a testbed for the program, and that they had plans to roll out something very similar here in a Hil-Dawg administration, and that plan is now seriously disrupted.

It might explain the naked panic we saw in that video... a loss of power for themselves, not their political cronies.

295 You can start by perusing police reports.

Then, move to doing polls and questionnaires .. like they have done.

The 3 to 5 times is due to different outcomes from competing studies.
Posted by: Don Q. at November 27, 2018 11:52 AM (NgKpN)

Sure. But self reporting is going to have the normal problems, and I don't know how many police reports are generated in the US in a year, but it would take a fucking army to try to compile and read through them all.

PD's generate a metric fuckton of reports.

So the number could be much higher (or lower) then what we think.

And even that doesn't take in to effect the deterrence factor of "well, shit, I'm not going to break in to that house. People are home, and everyone has guns around here."

Last I checked (years ago now, so this could no longer be accurate), the US has lower rates of home invasions where the house is occupied then many other countries. Is some of that due to the deterrence of people being home = high probability of getting shot, depending on where you are located? Probably.

I wouldn't know how to quantify that either.

350 278 JS - the midterm didn't bring out the blue collar Trump voters. When I saw turnout in those precincts was light, I knew we were in trouble. Also in the Philly burbs the NTs came out in force.

Yeah, that's the thing.
Support for Trump does NOT translate into support for the generic GOP, nor does it mean support for any particular GOP candidate.

And many Trump supporters don't connect the dots and understand the importance of keeping the House out of Dem hands.

In the meantime it was pretty easy for the Dems to exploit anti-Trumpism across the board.

351 and toxic masculinity is a term made up by people who are afraid of real leadership.

The political establishments in both parties are afraid of real leadership.

They'd rather just keep playing prestige games while trying to make anyone else responsible.

It resembles the Roman Senate when Caesar took power - they didn't resist him, they were glad to be rid of the responsibility so they could go back to pretending to be important while risking nothing.

353
For example, Wisconsin had 186 homicides in 2017. 118 of those
occurred in Milwaukee, which has about 15% of the population of
Wisconsin.

Maryland had 534 murders in 2016. 60% of them, 318 in Baltimore city. 10% of the population lives in Baltimore city.

355 Oh joy. Read an article in my paper this morning about the changing political demographics in Texas and Georgia due to "newcomers" (locusts).

They're "better educated and more urbane" and therefore vote Dem.

356 The Left will either put up Hillz again with an unending stream of ads comparing her (and her health) to FDR; or find some Hollywood glam dude. Mark is right, they have no one who can match him.

The new FDR in 2020: Brace Yourself!!

Posted by: Reason#698 why I'm going to Hell at November 27, 2018 12:58 PM (e1q4h)

357 This is the rationale for my skepticism about a Trump re-election. People may be so exhausted by the all-day-all-battle climate in 2020 that they don't support him if only to stop the acrimony for four years.

Not an endorsement, just an observation.

I'm skeptical but for a different reason. Hillary was a godawful candidate and Trump barely beat her by chipping away in a handful of blue states that the GOP usually doesn't capture. It's going to be a tough slog given that Trump effectively will have to campaign against both parties. It ain't impossible but it's not going to be easy.

Not to mention that the Dems seem to have perfected the fraud machine this time. The election was almost a month ago, and every day another House race flips Dem with those mysteriously "found" votes.

358 From FBI, UCR, 2017 Crime in the United States, table 16 "Rate: Number of Crimes per 100,000 Inhabitants"

For the crimes of murder and non-negligent manslaughter, here are the rates per 100,000 by city population size:

group 1, 250k and over, 11.0 per 100k, 81 police agencies, 61 million people
group 2, 100k to 250k, 6.6, 217, 32 million
group 3, 50k to 99k, 4.0, 491, 34 million
group 4, 25k to 50k, 3.6, 864, 30 million
group 5, 10k to 25k, 3.1, 1,7989, 28 million
group 6, under 10k, 3.4, 7,386, 22 million

Except for group 1, all of the groups are about the same size, about 30 million.

The rates for all cities under 100k range from 4.0 to 3.4 - statistically similar numbers. About 115 million of us live in these smaller cities about one third of the total US population.

So if you live in a city with more than 250,000 people, your murder rate is just about double the rate for the next smaller group and about three times the rate for everyone else.

For what it's worth, "Suburban areas include law enforcement agencies in cities with less than 50,000 inhabitants and county law enforcement agencies that are within a Metropolitan Statistical Area. Suburban areas exclude all metropolitan agencies associated with a principal city. The agencies associated with suburban areas also appear in other groups within this table."

Suburban areas, rate = 3.2 per 100k, 8,245 agencies, 132 million people

So suburban areas are safer than all other categories and consist of about 40 percent of the total US population.

Relatively speaking cities are dangerous; suburbs and rural areas are safer by a factor of more than 3.

359 Forgot something. In 2017 there were a total of 16,446 murder and nonnegligent manslaughter offenses across all agencies. 12,999 were committed in cities. 6,783 were committed in group 1 cities, 2,121 were committed in group 2 cities. So, 8,904 homicides were committed in cities over 100k that contain 93 million people. Two thirds of homicides (68.5%) were committed in places with 29% of the population.
