Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife.
Hispanics commit three times more violent crimes than whites, but the statistics are nebulous because sometimes they are classified as white, so it could be far higher.
The best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percent of the population that is black and Hispanic.
Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery.
Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic.

Stop and Frisk: I wonder if the NYPD will merely clocked in and clock out and half-hardheartedly police those neighborhood and tell complainants, "Gee, we've filled our quota of arrests in this neighborhood already and I certainly don't want to be labeled a racist for profiling...call Sharpton".

What is the ratio of violence in poor neighborhoods vs. middle class? I seem to recall from West Side Story snd reeading about the poor aras of London and the immigrant neighborhoods of New York City that severe amd frequent violence was a common feature of all the denizens.
And how does the violence level of poor blacks compare to that of middle class blacks? Not to mention a similar comparison of whites in both situations?
[Sydney Morning Herald] When Chris Lane jogged past three boys on Country Club Road in Duncan, southern Oklahoma, the boys did not see a young man, local police chief Danny Ford says, they saw a target. "They saw him go by and they said, 'that's our target' and they followed him and they shot him, that's what he told me," Chief Ford told Fairfax Media of the conversation police had with the oldest suspect, a 17-year-old boy. Targeting [as in assassination] unconfirmed by law enforcement at this point, but getting uglier and uglier.
In Spokane, Washington, on Wednesday night, according to local reports, World War II veteran and Battle of Okinawa survivor Delbert Belton was beaten by two democrat teenagers described as between the ages of 16 and 19. Belton passed away Thursday morning of head injuries.
Belton, 89, was shot in the leg at Okinawa. He was confronted in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, when the two suspects jumped him, beat him, and left him to die. One is described as heavy and wearing black clothing, and the other is described as six feet tall and 150 lbs., wearing a silk do-rag. Words fail. The war has apparently begun.

There will come a time soon, when the tables will turn, only instead of wanna be thugs beating people up, alot of people are simply going to die. I can see a certain hot tempered type of person banding up to make forays into these gleaming bastions of Demorat Mecca's and play "Cowboys vs the knockout game"

I'm sure I regret it after the fact,
And maybe I did kinda overreact,
But it's not like a brother can stop and reflect,
And he probably showed me some disrespect.
Did he shake his damn head and look at me funny,
Or was he too slow handing over his money?
Did he make me feel like a bitch-ass Tom
For not avenging the butler's mom?
Did he look down at me to make himself bigger,
Like maybe he asked me to stop saying "n-----?"
Whatever. He shouldn't have got in my business
And it's not like I did it in front of a witness.
And even if he wasn't all up in my face,
This world is chock-full of them haters that hates.
Here lies an old cracker who survived Okinawa
Don't know why I killed him. Black Power! Ungawa!
Thanks, boomers! Thanks, Hollywood! Thanks, Democrats! And that's coming from someone whose personal and cultural landscape looks like the aftermath of an explosion in the earth-tones section of a paint factory. Someone who will never, ever stand with spittle-spewing racists of any stripe. But someone who had seen enough of this shit twenty years ago. If someone like me is posting something like this out in the broad open daytime, the blues probably IS brewing for someone other than the usual old folks and women and smart kids and...

When it turns, I fear it's gonna be real ugly, and doubt there will be any lack of volunteers to help de-scum the gene pool. Maybe that's the plan...?

"Arriving first on the scene, Sharae tried to apply pressure to the wound in order to stop the bleeding. Brittany searched through Davids phone and tried to call a family member, and Taneshia held David Santuccis hand and led them all in prayer."
Who finally called 911?

Good for them, though. A kid shouldn't die alone. But yeah, how pathetic is it that the best we can do for butchered innocents - in the twenty-first century western world - is to hold their dead or dying hands and pray, or chat calmly with their gore-smeared assailants?
[An Nahar] A Congolese general wanted in connection with the 1999 disappearance of 350 refugees was locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! in La Belle France on Thursday and charged with crimes against humanity, a court source said.
Norbert Dabira, 64, was accused of torture and kidnapping on a massive scale by examining magistrates in a Gay Paree court after being arrested in the town of Torcy near Gay Paree.
The refugees had gone to neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... , fleeing from civil war in their home country, but disappeared after they returned to the port of Brazzaville.
La Belle France originally opened an investigation into the case in 2002, citing the principle of universal jurisdiction.
Dabira is the former inspector-general of the Congolese army, and since October 2012 has been a high commissioner for the re-integration of former soldiers. He holds the rank of minister.
The 64-year-old was arrested on Thursday in Torcy, and presented before magistrates for "crimes against humanity" at a court in the French capital.
When contacted by Agence La Belle France Presse, the general said he was "totally innocent" and would not leave La Belle France during the investigation.

What about Rwanda charging some still in activity French politicians for their support to the genociders and for rearming them after their defeat?
Veteran leader Robert Mugabe was sworn in as Zimbabwe's president for another five-year term on Thursday before a stadium packed with tens of thousands of jubilant supporters. Mugabe, 89, pledged "to observe, uphold and defend the constitution of Zimbabwe" in an oath administered by Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku, extending his 33-year rule.
There's always a first time...
Supporters clad in clothes emblazoned with the image of the man who has lead their nation since independence in 1980 filled the 60,000-seater venue, a show of force after elections many say were rigged.
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai insists the July 31 vote was stolen and his party boycotted the inauguration. Tsvangirai's spokesman said the opposition leader "can't attend a robber's party."
Former colonial power Britain has called for an 'independent investigation' into the conduct of the election, which Mugabe officially won by a landslide.
Unlike previous low-key investitures, the event was replete with banners, flags and chants carried strong echoes of Mugabe's inauguration as prime minister of a newly independent Zimbabwe in 1980.
The absence of many neighbouring leaders, including President Jacob Zuma of regional power-broker South Africa, did little to dampen enthusiasm. Tanzania's Jakaya Kikwete, Namibia's Hifikepunye Pohamba and the Democratic Republic of Congo's Joseph Kabila were among those leaders who attended.
Mugabe was greeted in the stadium by thunderous cheers and whistling when he arrived with his wife on board a military truck.
Gates to the Chinese-built stadium, the venue of Mugabe's inauguration as president in 1987, opened shortly after dawn. The day was declared a public holiday, helping boost attendance.

[LVGuardianExpress] On Wednesday, health officials confirmed that bats in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... were the source of the coronavirus in the Middle East, which can cause MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. MERS has thus far sickened 96 people in the Middle East. 47 of those ultimately died.
The recent MERS outbreak has been going on for 15 months. Most of the victims have fallen ill in Saudi Arabia. Some grew sick after having traveled to the Middle East.
The bat is a Taphozous perforatus, or Egyptian tomb bat. Typically, the creature roosts in abandoned buildings. The virus was found in a fecal sample inside one of these buildings.
Dr. Jonathan H. Epstein, a veterinarian with the EcoHealth Alliance who helped trap the bats, has suggested that victims, like shepherds who might seek shelter in the buildings, picked it up by breathing in dried bat guano. If so, it would be very similar to the way that Americans have been infected with hantavirus while sweeping up dried mouse droppings.
Another possibility is that some other animal came into contact with the feces from an infected bat, and that animal then spread the coronavirus. It is also possible that an animal picked it up that way and then infected a human.

As a hardware store enthusiast, I used to spend time at the Baumarkt in K-Town when the wife went shopping. Always amazed me how much of their merchandise was made in Germany, Austria, or SZ. Wish we could say the same for Ace, Depot, and Lowes.
[Dawn] Every child should know about the actual purpose and spirit of jihad as it couldn't be separated from the faith of Moslems, said Provincial Minister for Information Shah Farman.
"Jihad is part of our faith. Jihad shouldn't be held responsible for the act of someone, who misuses it for other purposes," he told a presser here on Wednesday.
Like other basic principles of Islam, he said, children should have knowledge of jihad.
To a question about reinsertion of Koranic verses regarding jihad in the textbook of Islamic studies for grade 9 and 10, the minister said that a review committee was formed to look into the matter. "No one can dictate the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... -led provincial government to change the curricula," he said, adding that he had not taken dollars from America.
Mr Farman said that after the passage of 18th Amendment making curricula was a responsibility of the province so it would be developed according to the teachings of Islam and Pakhtun culture. He said that curricula would not be changed to please some elements to help them remain in power.
"According to our oath, we will defend Pakistain and Islamic ideology at all forums. No matter if someone is happy or angry," he added.
Why it was not said in 1980s that Afghan war was not jihad and why the Afghan nation was not declared fundamentalist, the minister questioned.
He criticised the previous governments of Muthahidda Majlis-e-Amal and Awami National Party, saying they changed the curricula of schools on dictation from abroad.
The minister showed some errors in the textbook of history for grade 6 wherein Kashmire was shown a part of India in one of the maps. He also shared some of the co-curricula reading material for primary schools in which a girl wearing skirt was chatting with another girl. The minister termed it against the Pakhtun culture.
Mr Farman alleged that the then education minister in Muthahidda Majlis-e-Amal government Maulana Fazl Ali during his visit to Germany had agreed to introduce changes in the curricula of educational institutions in the province after that several lessons related to Islam were replaced with the other topics.
Citing examples of the changes in curricula of educational institutions in the province the information minister said that an essay the 'Voice of God' was replaced with 'I Saw a Man Who Was Giant' in the English book for grade 9.

[Dawn] Chief Justice of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. High Court, Justice Dost Muhammad Khan, by taking suo motu ...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard... notice of ban on women voting in some constituencies of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... province, has ordered to withhold results and arrest those behind the act on Thursday.
The chief election commissioner, on the directive of the chief justice Peshawar High Court, has withheld the by-polls results in NA-5 Nowshera, NA-27 Lakki Marwat and PK-27 Mardan.

[Dawn] Women voters were absent from the polling stations in some parts of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... , as in the May 2013 elections, because they were barred from polling either as a result of a ban imposed or an understanding between the contesting candidates that women voters should not be allowed to come out for voting on the pretext of social or cultural norms.
The reports of women being barred from the polling process were received from various polling stations in Nowshera, Lakki Marwat.
Meanwhile similar reports were also received from Punjab's Mianwali and Mandi Bahauddin areas where by-polls were underway for NA-71 and PP-188 constituencies respectively.
During a visit to various polling stations in Nowshera's NA-5, not even a single woman voter had turned out to cast her vote till the filing of this report and some locals suspected that there might have been an agreement between the contestants to bar female voters from casting their votes.
