Every large American city has had its police and politicians corrupted by " Illegal Drug Money " which is still the most profitable business within the U.S.A. The police are not going to arrest and prosecute the criminals that continually pay them " under the table " to " just keep looking the other way "!! Unfortunately that is the way it is today!!

What if you hooked up door switches, a hidden keypad, and a bunch of coilguns up to an Arduino? Front door opens, Arduino sees it, beeps...10 seconds later, if the keypad hasn't been touched, send the fire signal. Would work better if you could make them automatic and from all different angles, and maybe aim at any motion. Of course, don't use a lethal projectile, and maybe have an override button FAR away from the door, like in the basement or a closet. Just knock them enough to make them want to leave.

Whatever traps you might use must be non-lethal. If you someone dies because of a trap you set, it is murder. If they are on your properly you have to kill them yourself, not with a trap.

In New York City the mentally disturbed man that stabbed the two children has been caught.

Daniel St. Hubert, 27, is charged with killing Prince Joshua (P.J.) Avitto with a steak knife and injuring his playmate in the elevator of a Brooklyn housing project. The attacks came eight days after his May 23 release from prison, where he did five years for attempted murder and assault.

Hopefully, he will never be let out of jail again to kill someone else!!

I beg to differ except for his statement on 'the white man's law.' Criminals are by their very definition in opposition to law, regardless of who drafted/passed it.

Would you walk late night in Detroit? I wouldn't. The murder rate in some places is obscenely high and a lot of these places are 'old' black neighborhoods.

If Americans are not receiving proper healthcare why should illegal immigrants get any at all? We're not at war, we have no obligation to do so. We do, but, it's a valid question -- why are so many Americans unable to get basic healthcare but illegals get it, most of the time, easily?

To deny that 'old' black neighborhoods have a problem with crime is to bury our heads in the sand. --Because there are many predominantly black neighborhoods in the U.S that came about the post civil rights era and have nowhere near the same level of crime and murder and are at or below the national average of crime.

Facts are racist?

Eastern Europeans are much more likely to be poor and commit crimes than Western Europeans. EE's are also much more likely to commit murder than WE's -- Is that racist?

First time I've heard that assertion (not "fact"). I don't know which country you're saying it's true for, but if it's England, then Wikipedia says the exact opposite. This is the article, this is it's source. I hate to say "the source is The Telegraph so it's must be true", but in this case it's appropriate, because they're acknowledging something that contradicts their editorial position.

And honestly, how could treating "Eastern Europeans" (by which you mean, people 'here' whose family trees take root in Eastern Europe) as a monolithic group that, in your argument, is defined solely by two features: criminality and subcontinent of origin, possibly not be racist?

Also interesting. I did not realize that you could get American crime statistics sorted by the age of each neighbourhood. May we please have a source? Note: if you present data for individual neighbourhoods and say "see?" then I would point out that your "data" is statistically meaningless.

You have posted no sources, so none of what you've claimed are "facts" actually are. I'll give you a chance to prove them.

Yes.

1. The U.K is a fully developed nation the idea that it collects better crime stats is meaningless. Eastern Europeans are much more prone to crime in their own lands (and others when immigrated) than are Western Europeans, simply because the West is much more developed and wealthy than is the East and has been for centuries.

2. It's not racist at all, we use the color system, don't we? Eastern Europeans are white. Now, if you want to use haplogroups - yeah perhaps it's racist. But, we don't use scientific racism anymore - we use the colonial system of colored maps.

3. Post civil-rights was a long time ago - I don't think any people of any color from that period is out routinely committing crime, so, irrelevant much?

4. Yes, you can find out when cities become a majority of whatever race. The U.S keeps crazy amounts of racial statistics from diseases to neighborhood composition.

I don't think it is when you look in the U.S. -- The old black neighborhoods have massive amounts of crime, but, the post civil-rights majority black neighborhoods are about or below the national average.

That's not racist at all, that's a good question.

Curious, would you walk alone at night in Detroit? Would you? If not, why not?

"If Americans are not receiving proper healthcare why should illegal immigrants get any at all? We're not at war, we have no obligation to do so. We do, but, it's a valid question -- why are so many Americans unable to get basic healthcare but illegals get it, most of the time, easily?"

This is also a valid question. It's not a question of hate, it's a question of financial and physical resources. If AMERICANS (especially lower and lower middle class) (and I don't care what blood, ethnicity, 'race', or creed they belong to) are having issues getting care....

For reasons that should be obvious, I will not continue to participate in this discussion.

I judge that goes for both sides. Equally.
Let your next posts here or anywhere else on LQ reflect you understanding of and adherence with what Jeremy wrote above.
