She probably should’ve found a better country to live in if she wanted a safer life. America has become a shit hole.
For some reason, a country that abandoned mental-health services is now experiencing mental-health problems. Strange...
If you want to make lots of money, and you are willing to compete in the job market, it's a better place to be than Europe. IT's even the case that the American middle class has far more disposable income than the European middle class. But it's also certainly the case that America faces a lot more crime and it has worse social safety nets.
It’s not going to stay that way with the policies going on destroying our global standing. These fascist morons are dismantling the global order that made America’s power and wealth possible. Not to mention they’re making it a progressively shittier place to live. Taking over cities with the military and harassing the commerce centers of this country is not going to make our economy excel. They’ve already all but killed the tourist industry from out of country. The whole stock market is propped up on AI that multiple studies are showing they can’t get return on investment on. That bubble will burst. The tariffs are turning allies to enemies. The bills passed are killing the social safety net which will only make crime worse. Still so many people can’t see beyond the propaganda the billionaire owned media pumps out. I am not at all optimistic about the future of this country.
But in this case, i mean it’s fairly obvious which group of usual suspects the criminal belongs too and the political party that protects these career criminals inside of the United States. I don’t care that he’s black tbh i care that democrats for some strange reason that involves Chinese math, DEI and white guilt for colonialism from 400 years ago have decided that civilized society must suffer so career criminals of color, illegal immigrants and leftist mobs can prey upon society sometimes with very little consequence, i was never a hard liner before 2020 but the past years have changed me for good on the subject of crime and I’ll extend that olive branch to white peoples as well. Lock up criminals like we dgaf anymore the time for sympathy is over
Crime stats have gone down for the last 4 years. Stop letting the right feed you a false narrative.
I grew up in a ghetto neighborhood where whites are a minority, my first hand experience supersedes your stats
Maybe you can’t be around minorities because your racism shows. I too lived in poor inner city neighborhoods and got along without issue.
Lol i did fine and i was married to a a black queen for 7 years and i would battle rap you into dust. My main commentary was on crime and the lack of responsibility in battling it, also to ignore the crime in these communities is enabling it, that’s the main criticism of defund the police and so new age justice reform. Everyday i read stores about horrible criminals getting off, early release, slaps on the wrist only to commit more crime. The last career a person should have the ability to flourish in is a career in crime particularly violent crime. Idgaf tbh about a walgreens going under because of crime but when peoples lives hang in the balance then it becomes nothing more than accepting what is evil
You blamed the people and didn’t once mention the very real racists in power who for centuries have shaped policy to hurt minority communities. Prison reforms no one because they give it to private corporations who need recidivism for their business to flourish. As someone already said they cut mental health and homeless support funding in this country drastically. They also cut a host of other social programs that offer alternatives to turning to crime. There’s always been career criminals in every society, but the vast majority of criminals are people at the end of their ropes looking for a way out. If the government and society cut the programs giving hope and an alternative to crime, the criminals looking for soldiers will always fill in the gap. Despite all that there’s still a lot of statistical proof that crime has been dropping over the last 4 years. Most likely due to a lot of measures that were pumped money into poor communities during the pandemic. We spend a ridiculous amount of money on our prison industrial complex that only presses pause on problems. A sense of community and a real responsibility to the people of that community is going to stop way more criminals than a cage.
That’s a lot to digest, but I would be willing to get into a respectful debate with you if you would like where we can discuss various things concerning crime, particularly in America and if you want, we can eat a branch over into the United Kingdom, of which I followed a little bit But I think it would be a healthy debate if we started over in a new post and we can address some of the things that I said as well that maybe deserve some criticism, are you up for that?
