Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

I suppose it’s just a coincidence a drive by poster came by with empty unsupported rhetoric about Chicago and inner cities etc. on Juneteenth. So much so that they charged in here without even understanding what a US state was. Even more hilarious they’ve now doubled down and said crime is not a state issue - leaving the entire job of state troopers or the state attorney general etc. much in question. I mean why have counties at all either, or sherriffs department, everyone knows laws only exist in major democrat cities (?)

Very lost on what any of this has to do with Joe Biden other than someone picked up some gross bigoted Juneteenth rhetoric somewhere else probably and came in here to grace us with it.

I bet there’s a wiki article tracking all the myriad times texas has threatened to secede from the union. It’s hardly news anymore. they do it any time their guys aren’t in power in Washington

Ah, there was

Republicans seem upset Joe is doing their job for them.

Biden arrests more watchlist perps in 1 year than in the last 5, and they're pretending it's a bad thing.

So, to paraphrase what you're saying, you can't provide Citation to underline your point that the states with the worst crime rates are Democrat as you claimed. Only able to highlight cherry picked anecdotal incidents, hardly empirical

"Poster cherry picked a stat within the overall picture to suit his agenda and you lapped it up."

This you? Cherry picking cities not states to suit your agenda. See, two can play that game.

What's your point? Talk away.

Not substantiated by any evidence you've provided.

Top 3 cities with highest crime rates per 100k:

Murder:

Bogalusa, Louisiana. 140 murders per 100k. Republican

Helena-West Helena, Arkansas. 138.8 murders per 100k. Republican

Blytheville, Arkansas. 136 murders per 100k. Republican

Rape:

Evanston, Wyoming. 285.4 rapes per 100k. Republican

Ypsilanti, Michigan. 252 rapes per 100k. Democrat

Juneau, Alaska. 238.1 rapes per 100k. Nonpartisan council

Robbery:

Florida City, Florida. 558.1 robberies per 100k. Republican

Emeryville, California. 527.3 robberies per 100k. Democrat

College Park, Georgia. 473.6 robberies per 100k. Republican

Aggravated Assault:

Monroe, Louisiana, 2582.8 assaults per 100k. Republican

Florida, City, Florida. 2291.6 assaults per 100k. Republican (double medalist)

West Memphis, Arkansas. 2164.8 assaults per 100k. Republican

By what metric? Where are you getting these statistics from?

A discussion usually starts by offering your own opinion. So go ahead:

Tell us what Democratic policies have led to these "crime ridden cities"

Tell us what "fringe elements" are stopping Biden from funding the police. Which isn't his job btw but anyway.

Tell us what's been so abysmal about his term so far.

Try to back up all of this with some facts.

Maybe then other people will answer your questions.

So there were almost 800 homicides but over 1000 of them are gun homicides. Makes sense?

797 dead in a city of 2,747,000 is a murder rate of less than 29.5 per 100k. Bogalusa with 140 per 100k people, you are almost five times more likely to be murdered in that small city of Bogalusa than that metropolis of Chicago.

And if we're going to cherry pick, NYC had more murders under Rudy than under De Blasio. For the record, I thought De Blasio a terrible mayor.

Adams' election was seen as a backlash to rising crime in the city. Lest we forget, De Blasio was elected after Bloomberg, so 20 years of GOP mayors in NYC and crime starts going up.
