Speculation over why US crime stats are recording falls

[Al B. Sure!]

you forgot to log into the tupac shakur account, matt.

Though to be fair, Tupac did a 180 after being exposed to the true nature of women:

It's like another planet. Your life experiences are so foreign to the experiences of all other Americans. I just hope you are aware of that before you make the decisions you make, decide what you believe, decide who you vote for, etc.

Dude, I'm not about to get lectured on life experiences by a closeted gay marine wannabe bank teller who hasn't earned more than 15/hour in his life and has pretty much never left Philadelphia. And also sucks at math.

I attribute the drop in Washington's violent crime to the dying out of the crack cocaine epidemic. There are other factors, such as the gentrification of large swaths of the city.

The city was a really rough place in 1993 and people were hyped up -- you could feel the hostility walking down the street.

Clearly the Gingrich revolution saved DC.

In all seriousness, Republican congresses are the best thing ever to happen to the DC government because those retards can't seem to be able to manage home rule.

HC is calling a city with a lot of black people "retards who can't manage home rule"

[Hauldren Collider]

It's not because it's black, it's because the government in DC is a corrupt cesspool of idiot lunatics. This is a fact.

Just read about Kwame Brown's two fully-loaded Cadillac SUVs. Or Lorraine Green.

Pathetic race-baiting

Regarding Fairfax crime rates, Jaguar had a bit of a culture shock moving here from MD when he found out the banks have literally no overt security whatsoever. They are just like the waiting area at, say, a doctor's office, but with nicer furniture.

I've never actually been to a bank that had visible security, so I found that pretty funny...

I take it you have never seen a teller behind bullet-proof glass either with only the small slot to pass currency?

[SlowwHand]

Beyond that, which is true, do you not wonder about unseen security? The observation in agreement is to you, but the question is directed to Kuci, so don't get excited, Alby.

Another point about youth committing the crimes, and this may be hard for some to wrap their head around, but at some point children doing crime are going to have to face adult penalties. A person shot dead doesn't care about how old was the killer. Dead is dead.

Hell no. I could just walk around to the other side of the counter if I wanted, but they'd probably get annoyed at me.

Out of curiosity, if you were Black and did the same thing, what would happen?

[giblets]

If he was black and had sagging pants I think they'd call the cops.

[Al B. Sure!]

Who am I kidding? A Black man steps foot in Fairfax County and the 'concerned citizens' picking up their kids from soccer practice will be calling the police ASAP. "A strange man is walking through the neighborhood"
