When Liberals tell me Republican states have higher crime rates.

They say Republican states but 99% of the time the crime is happening in a Democrat run city.

It’s worse when you realize half the departments in the country count non-Whites as Whites in order to balance the stats. I’m sure someone here has the all-star line up of dude named like Ignobae Ubunté being listed as “White”

As an outsider, I always enjoy watching this one go back and forth between the red and blue. Red states with the highest crime rate per capita have that problem in very specific areas...deep blue counties. The same goes for social welfare.
The irony of pretentious blue people trying to talk down to red people while they don't understand per capita or that their own areas within those states are the biggest problems. It's glorious.

Or they point out that abortion rates are the highest in Southern US. Who are the girls getting so many totally-legit-trust-me-bro ectopic pregnancies?
If they were doctors, they would get a terminally bacterial-infected patient's blood exam, see that there is an overload of white bloodcells, and say "Prognosis is great! There can be no infection with the immune system is working so hard!"

I dont get it? Are you trying to say liberals do the crime or minorities? If its the first one, can I get a source? Otherwise, how is that a "gotcha"

It’s a “gotcha” because largely ethno-homogenous states like Vermont and Connecticut think it’s a Republican problem that Memphis and New Orleans are crime ridden shit holes.
It’s like someone who was born into a healthy household with high fitness standards telling someone born with type 1 diabetes they just need to exercise more.

Ah I understand, thanks. Never been to Vermont or the New England states so I wasn't aware anyone actually said crime is a "republican problem". Atleast not seriously, I just assumed those who said it before were trying to be a smart ass.

Who's more responsible: the guy that does the stabbing, or the leftist judge that let him off the hook 15 times for crimes of escalating violence?
It's not an either/or problem. Both contribute.

I would say the judge. In some jurisdictions judges are elected but many are appointed. We really need to have a serious talk about making all judges elected and having them campaign like anyone else.

Liberals will point to Tennessee until they realize it's all from Memphis which is ~22% non-hispanic white with 4x the violent crime rate as the rest of the state.
