“World population review” lol

Narrative not holding up? SS, who are committing these crimes in Memphis? Also, both these folks were let out early…the mass shooter, was charged with attempted first degree murder…plead and only served 9 months, being let out early. That’s soft on crime.

I don’t know why you dislike poor people so much, but an average family on welfare receives something 16k yearly in OK versus 60k in D.C.

The excuse of poverty is b.s. in committing gun crime…folks in urban areas receive more money and have more resources close by. Along with access to utilities and social programs…usually free as well.

Who is committing gun crimes in this country SS? If you remove Baltimore from Maryland, where do they rank in violent crime? What about Philly or Chicago? What’s the percentage of gun crime in those areas versus the rest of the state?

You are trying to say rural, less populated southern areas who don’t have major urban bases…are more dangerous. It’s a false narrative. Gun violence is local.

Look at PG county up by you..what’s up with record homicides and juveniles committing car jacking? the poor implementation of juvenile justice reforms are too blame…maybe the parents should try to actually parent in PG county.
