OK, you and eih tooms have gone too far.
[QUOTE=Tomasb;2818856]Unless you get killed by an AR15 in a random shooting in a mall. Like in Texas, for example.
What nonsense.[/QUOTE]I've been reading this forum for quite some time and you've caused me to register so I can call out your left wing BS. This is a monger forum and you are ruining it with your politics. You may be Gavin Newsome's speech writer but let me educate you a bit. Your statistics are based on CDC gun deaths per 100,000 of each state. I live in Baltimore. There are about 600,000 people in Baltimore and 5 million in the state so the 3-400 murders committed in Baltimore are diluted by the total state population. Contrast to the State of Wyoming which has less than 600,000 total population. Also keep in mind that gun deaths also include suicides which compromise 54% of all gun deaths. So. You can push your fake news but truth is that liberal cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, LA, etc are murder capitals and extremely dangerous places to be and having lived here I'd rather be living in Pattaya hands down. I'll also point out to you that if you live in a rural area there are no malls to get shot at and that an AR or any firearm has never in history killed anyone. A firearm is an inanimate object and can do nothing by itself. Humans kill humans yet you refuse to blame the true perpetrators. Anywho. Have a nice day but keep it real.
Got a source link for that?

We always seem to get these self-appointed topic moderators jumping in to demand we all get back on the preferred forum topic after someone pushes back on those loving "red non-liberal state" claims and not the Dem-bashing claims. Meanwhile, I notice those self-appointed moderators have no problem sprinkling the Pattaya Reports forum with comments about Jakarta, Medellin, Cambodia and such, which, last time I checked also has nothing to do with getting laid in Pattaya.
BTW, I included an actual source link to substaniate my response, one of a dozen I could have provided, and hardly a left wing news source, while you provided none.
Yeah, we know inner city Chicago is a riskier neighborhood to stroll around in than Hooterville. So what? Therefore, to keep this post every bit as on topic as the ones we read about Jakarta, Medellin, Cambodia, etc on the Pattaya Reports forum, ISG members looking to get laid In the USA will likely be safer in Hooterville than Chicago. Good luck with that.
Nope. Wrong topics, if you are referencing my post, which you did.

And if you read the study cited and linked in my post they absolutely compared per capita deaths by murder among various cities and counties led by Dem Mayors vs Repub Mayors, not just by states. And many of those Repub-led cities' murder rates are far higher than those of Dem-led cities.
I am keeping it real.
[B]We have a murder problem in America - especially in red states[/B]

[QUOTE]Mississippi a state that neither conjures up weak on crime images nor Democratic officeholders topped the charts with a 2020 murder rate twice that of blue Illinois, thrice that of bluer California, and four times that of bluest New York. The red states of Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Missouri rounded out the top five and each had murder rates at least six times Massachusetts, four times New Jersey and just shy of twice that of Michigan. These blue states are home to the crime-is-out-of-control cities you read about daily Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, Newark and Detroit. They generate the headlines, the outrage and the political backlash.
[b]Yet, media coverage is essentially mum about Lexington, Kentucky, which has set back-to-back murder records, has a homicide rate twice that of New York City and has a Republican mayor. Tulsa and Oklahoma City have Republican mayors, a Republican governor and murder rates that dwarf that of Los Angeles. Jacksonville was the murder capital of Florida in 2020 with its Republican mayor, governor and a stratospheric homicide rate that if it were matched in New York City wouldve added more than 1,000 murders that year.
And to top it off, the homicide rate in Speaker Nancy Pelosis (D-Calif.) San Francisco was half that of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthys (R-Calif.) Bakersfield, the largest city in Kern County and one with a Republican mayor with overwhelming Trump support and not a whiff of flirtation with defund the police movements. In fact, the murder capital of California for six years running is sleepy Kern County, 130 miles from Los Angeles and 306 miles from San Francisco, the two California locales most often associated with the crime-is-out-of-control national headlines that have dominated U.S. crime and political coverage.[/b][/QUOTE]If anything, as of this writing the unsourced and unsubstantiated numbers you threw out there on a topic that was beside the point of my post might just as well have been pulled out of Tucker Carlson's butt.
My source is real but your's. Not so much
I referred to the CDC's gun deaths rates. I didn't bother reading your bullshit but now that you're revealing yourself as a huge prick, like Tucker Carlson, I glanced at your source and it's a libtard fake news writer for a left leaning fake news outlet so fake off. You are not real. "Based on real murders". For fucks sakes man, your libtard prosecutors don't recognize and charge with murder anymore, unless of course its a white man pulling the trigger. So now you can manipulate the numbers to benefit your libtard schemes. Just like you don't see black on black crime because it would consume TV for 24 hours a day. Wake the fuck up and stop hiding behind fake media. I experience the real world every day and based on reality, I'll walk around Jacksonville all day. But not Baltimore.
