@WallStreetApes Whisper lies,that make folks hate their neighbor more than the real crooks running the show. Get people obsessing over skin color, religion, who's on welfare, who's voting wrong... suddenly everyone's a detective, everyone's a victim, nobody's fixing potholes. Americas end smh
@just_HJB_here@DavidAd65794047@mattvanswol As horrible as these incidents are something should be done. I believe that all the crime should be handled accordingly. Not just when the perp is black
@MindinMyBis@CindyBin1414@WallStreetApes There was a time where neighbors could disagree politically, and still be able to have civil discourse. Now that identity politics has become more prevalent, those days are gone. Tribalism has become the new political norm.
@gristlebones@skylinekg_@hrkbenowen Raised better ?? Are you aware of the kids achievements. This wasn’t some thug who had lingering issues. This was a kid who made a dumb decision based on emotion. The boys should have went to a coach or teacher.
@just_HJB_here@DavidAd65794047@mattvanswol I do believe these numbers are a problem and something should be done about it. But this shouldn’t be our sole focus. Sometimes people get so laser focused on one particular topic, and look past other issues.
@just_HJB_here@DavidAd65794047@mattvanswol Murder’s everywhere on the news, but it’s rare. In the US, there were about twenty thousand homicides last year, that’s roughly 5.9 per 100k people. Media loves the drama, but most of us will never encounter it.
