Why a small number of criminals perpetrate
the worst crimes in America

Original Article

In the summer of 2019, Brittany Hill was 24, and walking with her toddler daughter through Chicago’s Austin neighborhood when a sedan slowly approached, and two men opened fire.(Snip)Using a wide range of stats, Mangual shows that most American violent crime is perpetrated by a small number of criminals—primarily young men with long rap sheets—and that gun violence affects an equally small minority of Americans, mainly in New York, Chicago and other large metro areas. Just two percent of all US counties account for half the nation’s homicides, he writes, and depending on the location as many as 95 percent of the victims are black or Hispanic.

Comments:

A new book by New York criminologist Rafael A. Mangual points out that a very small fraction of the US population commits the vast majority of violent crimes, and thanks to liberals, they're set loose to commit even more crimes, almost as if that's what the Marxists who control those places want.

As bad as the crime wave of violent crime, perhaps we also have a small number of criminals in government that are tasked with persecuting their political opponents.

What tells me Mr Hamilton does not truly understand what he is writing about is the fact that in his 3547-word article, the phrase VIOLENT SOCIOPATHS does not occur. Psst, Mr Hamilton: look up SOCIOPATHY, comma, VIOLENT and then refill your article. I’ll wait!

FTA: "The root cause of our sky-high murder problem, he argues, is 'the antisocial dispositions of violent criminals and a street culture that elevates violence as both a legitimate means of dispute resolution and a basis for respect.'" That, plus we refuse to keep repeat violent offenders locked away, and there's no epidemic of police violence against criminals.

The old three strikes law would save a lot of lives. Third felony, and you only come out in your coffin. But, that will never happen with Demonrats running things.

At first I thought this article was referring to the multiple, myriad of crimes committed by the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens, Pelosiss, McConnells, Schumers, Lerners, Wrays, etc. Silly me.

The article scrupulously avoids mentioning a major definer of violent behavior in America - race. Just this unwillingness to identify nad address it could be one of the causes.

Stabbings are on a rise in the Big Apple amid a citywide surge in major crime, according to the latest figures obtained by The Post. The statistics, which cover the period through Aug. 7, show that stabbings have risen by 11% compared to the same span last year–from 2,465 to 2,756. Fatal stabbings have jumped a whopping 43%–from 48 to 69–during the same period, the data shows. “People aren’t afraid to carry guns, so obviously they are not worried [about carrying] knives,” a Manhattan cop told The Post. “Plus it is a lot easier to get a hold of a knife.”

China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the COVID-19 pandemic may have started, conducted work on a deadlier virus with a 60% lethality rate, according to recent Senate testimony. Steven Quay, a medical doctor, told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee on emerging threats that the Wuhan institute carried out synthetic biology research on the Nipah virus genome in December 2019, around the time the first COVID-19 cases surfaced in Wuhan.(Snip)“Nipah is a BSL-4 level pathogen and a CDC-designated bioterrorism agent.

Three American oil scions have been bankrolling mobs of eco-zealots who have terrorized the world by slashing tires, blocking traffic and attacking firms. Aileen Getty, Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert and Peter Gill Case, who are heirs to their families' huge fortunes, are paying the salaries for thugs through their non-profits in an apparent bid to offset their relatives' legacies. Getty, whose grandfather created Getty Oil, has so far splashed out $1million through her California-based Climate Emergency Fund. Lambert and Case, who are both members of the Rockefeller dynasty that founded Standard Oil in 1870, have forked out $30million on The Equation Campaign.

Federal prosecutors this week announced the first indictment under a new law passed by Congress to crack down on gun trafficking in the wake of this spring’s shooting sprees. Said Isaac Hernandez, 25, was nabbed by police as he drove toward the border last month, and authorities say they found 17 pistols hidden inside a panel between the back seats of the Nissan Murano he was driving. Federal investigators said that when they confronted him, he admitted to carrying the weapons and planned to meet with people in Laredo, Texas, where he would turn the guns over to people who would take them into Mexico.

Drivers could face $9 to $23 in fees to drive into parts of Manhattan as soon as late 2023, according to the MTA’s congestion pricing plan that’ll be unveiled Wednesday. The amounts and timeline were detailed in a 34-page summary of the project’s much-delayed environmental review, which was provided to reporters by the cash-strapped agency Tuesday. “The tremendous detail included in this assessment makes clear the widespread benefits that would result from central business district tolling,” said MTA chief Janno Lieber in a statement. “Bottom line: this is good for the environment, good for public transit and good for New York and the region.”

Public health officials are grappling with how far to go in advising gay men to alter their sexual behavior as the monkeypox virus spreads mostly through their social networks but is a threat to anyone.

Children under ten in London are set to be offered polio booster vaccines after the virus returned to the UK for the first time in 40 years. Health chiefs declared a national incident in June after samples of the virus, which in the worst cases can paralyse or even kill, were found at a waste water site in London. A major drive is now expected to be launched by the UK Health and Security Agency to ensure children are vaccinated or receive a booster in the capital. An announcement about the vaccine rollout is expected this week, including details on which areas will be targeted.(Snip)Children should have five doses

President Joe Biden was noticeably disoriented Monday as he struggled to put his sport coat back on during a visit to Kentucky. During the trip back to Washington DC, the president traveled aboard Marine One and exited the helicopter at the Lexington airport wearing a mask and his aviator sunglasses. The president paused after exiting to put his sports coat back on but fumbled for several seconds as he tried to get his arms into the sleeves. He finally turned to First Lady Jill Biden for assistance after his arms got tangled. The president, still wearing his mask, finally adjusted his coat successfully but then his aviator sunglasses fell off

Josiah Lippincott, a Hillsdale College Van Adel Graduate School of Statesmanship Ph.D. candidate and writer, first reported that Bruce Reinhart — the suspected judge who approved the raid of Mar-a-Lago — apparently denigrated then-president-elect Trump in 2017 via Facebook.

If Donald Trump was going to run again, we assumed that the media would once again be the former president's largest pool of support, unwittingly, of course, with the nonstop negative coverage that would have only pushed more voters into his corner. Matt Taibbi noted that they're the "kingmakers of suck," arrogant, and more concerned with expounding on their moral superiority than covering the elections properly. Post-Russian collusion hoax, no one believes them, as evidenced by the appalling trust numbers the American public has given this industry over the past five or so years. That all ended last night.

Of all agencies in the government, this one probably has the most accurate and up-to-date files on every taxpayer, which is no surprise. It was seen as the most hated agency in America for legitimate purposes, though the FBI and DOJ might have supplanted them given the recent raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

It seems the DOJ has decided to leak an explanation of their decision to use a search warrant in this case. Newsweek just published an exclusive report based on anonymous DOJ sources which claims the FBI had a confidential source at Mar-a-Lago, one who informed them that Trump was hiding documents and even specified where they could be found. The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek.
