someday i will convince my family to move downtown and the first thing i will do is turn my car into scraps

I completely forgot about that douche. I was more thinking of Zimmerman and how in certain places and with certain people a jury will just "take your word for it" if you say you acted in self defense. You don't need to claim stand your ground even, the culture in those states is enough.

I'm a little confused at what you are asking. As I wrote, the data is exclusively for victims ages 0 - 5. Knowing that, what do you mean by justified homicide? I honestly don't really know what a justified homicide is for any age group and I don't think they really distinguish that from other homicides in the stats, but for the topic at hand let's focus only on 0-5.

For the appx. 1100 firearm deaths that occurred among ages 0-5 between 2010 - 2020:

"Non-Hispanic Blacks comprised 56.4% of all deaths in 2020, a 172% increase from 2010 and the rate for non-Hispanic Whites increased by 15.4% from 2010 to 2020. The majority of the deaths occurred in the South. Almost two-thirds (65.9%) of all firearm deaths were homicides, 30% were unintentional, and 4.1% were undetermined."

This is a very focused, political problem that primarily affects the people the government cares about the least, almost exclusively in places the government will not lift a finger to help. Not much can be done by people not in those locations except point out the problem.

Funny enough, the version I downloaded on limewire 800 years ago didn't have that one on it, so for like fifteen years I didn't know that song existed and I thought the album was flawless.

If you are anyone who wants to commit murder and get away with no repercussions whatsoever, far less than anything you will get in the DMV if caught, go to a stand your ground state.

Fair enough, it's not remotely the same as dog and dogwood though lol

Which, as everyone knows, tastes like Skittles

That's a bit dramatic lol, they are fairly closely related to the trees that produce edible cherries.

They do now that Starbucks realized they could make bank because parents will always and forever buy their kids what they want.

Nope. I know everyone has said this since the beginning of time, but the kids today are especially bad. /s

Don't hold that against College Park though, it's not all bad

pap shit

tbh, if mpd doesn't have close to enough competent people to sign up to do the job, i don't see how we can expect them to do anything, and it is pretty clear they are hurting for applicants

Yeah the data he got shows that a big majority are held accountable. Whoops lol.

To right wing gun fanatics, the lives of hundreds of children and even more adults are just a necessary and unavoidable tax we have to pay in order to be "free." It's sickening.

Would be nice to live somewhere where no one has to do this bc deranged people can't easily get guns.

I'm getting more concerned that our collective standards will just lower to be satisfied by chat gpt. It's certainly happening for some people. "Good enough, fake onion"

I'm still curious how you think kipp is going to stop teenagers from going to Union Market.

*and society. The government in particular though should be interested in trying to understand why some of its citizens don't view it as legitimate or worth listening to.

Thanks for that article, I don't know how it slipped by me, it might have been right before I bought my subscription.

I don't think the evidence is there to say that most people in the list unequivocally do not want help and never will. A lot of them haven't even been contacted there are kinks they clearly need to work out in the program, least of which is simple PR.

Though any more, I view the whole issue as partly a failure of the government and society to provide a convincing argument to get off the streets and behave. Suicide rates and depression has spiked even among affluent teens (and is highest among white men), I have yet to find someone who really enjoys their job and would do it even if they could retire. More middle aged people see no point in having children because the world is going to shit, and the old people I know are bitter and grumpy. Not much of an incentive to work hard and not just do whatever the hell you want.

Well then we better get more creative on actual deterrents, since most of us would like to stop crime before it even happens in the first place.

Hey I've been to one of these

You're laughing now, but we'll find them someday and then we'll show you, we'll show you all!

Does this include Chuck Grassley?
