Brooklyn leaders denounce the evil guns that killed 12 year old Kade Lewin.

The problem with Japan is that most people there do not view suicide as a sin. Most people in Japan do not believe the Old Testament (Tanakh). Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe Tanakh.

So? How does that negate anything.

So? How does that negate anything.

In Japan, suicide rate is high due to the fact that most people do not view suicide as a sin.

In USA, suicide rate is high due to availability of guns.

RIP, very sad.

It is evil to politicize this tragedy to make a Racist point. People of all Races are likely to commit crime when they are poor and have few opportunities.

In many cities the lack of opportunity can be blamed on the failure of the public education system to educate. If you can’t read or write it is hard to get a good job that pays a good wage you can prosper on. Plus if you do try to go to college you will likely fail. ,

The Epidemic We’re Not Talking About: Most High School Seniors Can’t Read or Do Math

BY ALINA ADAMSNovember 13, 2020

The National Assessment for Education Progress (NAEP)—nicknamed “America’s Report Card”—released their 12th grade scores at the end of October.
The horrifying results: Just 37% of 12th-graders reached or exceeded the academic preparedness benchmarks for both math and reading that would qualify them for entry-level college courses. (Ed. note: They are being overly generous. While 37% is the correct number for high-school seniors proficient in reading, the number for those proficient in math is closer to 25%.)

Oregon Suspends Need For High School Graduates To Be Proficient in Reading, Writing, and Math

I was once told by a pilot that jet bridges are the most dangerous places in aviation because “no one dies on the plane.” When someone has a fatal episode on a plane, the preference is …

Oregon Suspends Need For High School Graduates To Be Proficient in Reading, Writing, and Math​

***snip***

The short bill includes this provision:

“SECTION 3. Notwithstanding any rules adopted by the State Board of Education, a student may not be required to show proficiency in Essential Learning Skills as a condition of receiving a high school diploma during the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 or 2023-2024 school year.”

The pandemic was the basis for initial suspension of such requirements but now it is being extended. The call for a more “inclusive and equitable review of graduation and proficiency requirements” was supported by Foundations for a Better Oregon to change requirement to “reflect what every student needs to thrive in the 21st century.” That appears not to include proven proficiency in being able to write, read, or do simple math. The supporters insist that it is unfair to require students to show knowledge on tests.

Charles Boyle, the deputy communications director from Gov. Brown’s office, is quoted as saying that the new standards for graduation will help benefit the state’s “Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

Vast majority at Baltimore high school read at elementary level, some kindergarten: Assessment​

Only 12 Patterson High School students — or under 2% — were reportedly reading at grade level​

​

At Patterson High School in Baltimore, 77% of students tested at an elementary-school reading level at the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year.

A teacher at the high school, which has a 61% graduation rate and a nearly $12 millionbudget, shared the iReady test results with FOX 45 Baltimore.

"Our children deserve better. They really do," the teacher told FOX 45's investigative team, Project Baltimore, on the condition of anonymity. "As a whole, the system has failed them."

***snip***

Patterson High School is "the most diverse high school" in the Baltimore School district.

More than 480 students who took the iReady reading test scored at an elementary grade level, including 71 students who were reading at a kindergarten level, 88 students reading at a first-grade level and 45 students reading at a second-grade level.

Only 12 Patterson High School students — or under 2% — were reading at grade level, FOX 45 reported.

In Japan, suicide rate is high due to the fact that most people do not view suicide as a sin.

In USA, suicide rate is high due to availability of guns.

That is a laughable conclusion. Suicide success rates depend on the desire to kill one's self. Those who truly wish to die are nearly 100% successful because THEY WANT TO DIE.

Democrat leaders say nothing of the drug industry and the collapse of poor Black communities that fuels inner city violence and instead focus on the guns. Sure, that's worked so well for 50 years, why change now?

Family of 12-year-old shooting victim in Brooklyn speaks out

A 12-year-old boy was killed by gunfire as he was eating in a parked car in Brooklyn with two family members, one of whom was shot and wounded, NYPD officials said Thursday.

The powers that be don't give a rat's ass how many young male urban minorities get killed. In fact the Minority communities they live in don't care either.

Until one or the other steps up nothing will change and the violence in these poor inner city neighborhoods will just go on and on and on.

That is what we call "random association". There is NOTHING that says that suicide is CAUSED by gun availability.

 

[Man of Ethics]

There is NOTHING that says that suicide is CAUSED by gun availability.

In my opinion, successful suicide and murder are related to gun availability.

Many people attack themselves and others with knives, but a big majority of the victims survive.

Many of those who succeed in killing themselves with guns are not 100% suicidal.

Calling it your opinion doesn't make it true. You have no numbers, you're just spouting feelings.
Your feelings are wrong.

I only disagree about the minority communities. I think they care because they see their kids and their neighbors' kids killing each other. It's the Blacks who live outside their communities who don't give a rat's ass as we have seen on this board.

Well..it's the ones inside the community that are killing each other.

Because that's bullshit. You've never seen a black community. Shut the **** up.

Incorrect.

 

[IM2]

The evidence is quite the opposite. As we are seeing with the massive numbers of people who have never owned firearms rushing out to buy them now. Your opinion is not just wrong, but asinine given the evidence.

Actually he's right. Americans have a unhealthy obsession with guns.

 

[IM2]

Right? Now we have packs of feral guns roaming the streets killing folks.

The feral whites committing mass shootings?

 

[IM2]

You are right. Where are the black leaders when it comes to father absentee in the homes? Lack of school choice? It's always about the guns. If someone wants to kill someone they can do so with using anything other than a gun, but that's too much common sense for these idiots to understand.

Because it really doesn't exist. You white racists need to shut the **** up and care for your own opioid and heroin afflicted, child sex abusing communities.
