Teacher being shot by 6 Year Old is just normal.

[SavannahMann]

The Teacher shot by a 6 year old filed a lawsuit. The School District has filed their first response. The response is, well let’s say it is curious.

The School District thinks that the Teacher should get Workman’s Comp as it was a workplace injury. A routine risk according to the District. So being shot by a six year old is simply a risk Teachers choose to accept.

Personally I don’t think the Courts are going to accept that argument. However the argument is laughable because the Administration was warned. More than once. They were warned the boy had a gun. They did nothing and the predictable outcome came to be.

well it’s Newport News…shootings and crime are the norm in that liberal run shithole of VA

I won't be surprised if workman's comp is chump change compared to what that teacher can score through her lawsuit. May she clean house.

God bless you and that teacher always!!!

But not as normal as red states who tend have higher murder rates, more obesity and worse education.

Ignorant hypocrite.

blue cities have the most crime and worse education performances. Some might be in a red state

Blue states have blue cities too. For example Washington. Seattle makes up a huge portion of the state yet it doesn't have the crime many red states do.

That aside...

1. You spoke of states not cities.

2. Population dense areas, around the globe in every culture, have consistently had more crime then sparsely populated areas ...believe it or not even before the Democratic party existed.

You did know that right?

the overall crime rate of Seattle is 134 percent higher then the national average…try again

 

[Grumblenuts]

Weird. Sounds like HotAir wants big gubmint to grab that kid's gun in the worst way. Having a gun is legally equivalent to corporate personhood, no? Is the kid conservative or just some liberal commie?

 

[Catsnmeters]

That is a city, not a state. We are talking murder, not crimes.

You didn't understand my post I guess so here goes again since you actually supported my point without realizing it.

Of course population dense Seattle has a high crime (murder) rate. That is exactly what I stated...but also like I said, Seattle makes up a huge part of the population of Washington.

So how come Washington states murder rate is lower then most red states even with Seattle have a vast population influence?

Also, so we don't forget, how come red states tend to be so obese? Do you know how many trillions of dollars that drains from our medical system? It has to be staggering.

And lastly what about education? How come red states have such shitty public schools? How do Republicans expect America to compete in the future globally if red states are defunding schools to give tax breaks to corporations? Sure, shitty schools save some tax dollars today but what about the future?

when did we limit it to murder? violent crime rate in Seattle has hit a 15 year high this year.

Seattle is not a safe place to live at the moment

Because that was the original context of the discussion.

Again you avoid the point. Are you being disengenius or are you just daft?

So why is Washington states murder rates lower then most red states?

the OP isn’t about a murder

i’m not avoiding the point at all…you continue to deflect and did it poorly by highlighting a very violent dem run city

Fair point. I had not remembered you said "shooting AND crime". I was posting based on the word shooting.

i’m not avoiding the point at all…you continue to deflect and did it poorly by highlighting a very violent dem run city

I have already acknowledged that point. Remember? High population areas have always had more crime everywhere, for a thousand years regardless of political parties.

The point was why red states are worse then blue states when both red and blue states have blue cities?

The only reasons I can think of is...

1. Blue cities in blue states have a lower crime rate then blue cities in red states.

2. Rural areas have less crime in blue states then they do in red states.

3. Or a mixture of the two.

She can only bring a third party lawsuit to get any real money. It doesn't look like any third parties have money.

You are repeating a lie....Red States do not have higher murder rates......blue cities in Red states have higher murder rates....

The Heritage authors' data analysis revealed that, if the homicide rates of Democrat-run cities and counties in Republican-led states are subtracted, the overall homicide rates for those states are dramatically reduced.
-----

As noted earlier, however, most crime is hyperlocalized, so the funda- mental flaw with the study and the reason it does not deserve any serious consideration is that the “murder rate” in each state is largely a function of the large number of murders in a state’s biggest city or cities.21 A super majority of those cities, even in otherwise red states, are deep blue and runby left-wing ideologues.
----

When you remove the crime-infested, homicide-riddled cities from the state murder rate featured in the Third Way study, you dramatically lower the murder rate for that state, upending their conclusions and exposing the piece for what it really is: a straightforward attempt at political projection dressed up as a “study.”

Said another way, Kessler and Murdock did their level best as political operatives to blame their political opponents for the very thing—rising crime—that leftist policies at the city and county levels have caused.


While a state’s murder rate is perhaps politically interesting, a more accurate reflection of what is actually happening on the ground is gained by reviewing localized murder rates, such as murder rates in a city or county. What does this review show?

Table 1 lists the 30 cities with the highest murder rates in the United States as of June 30, 2022.
Not surprisingly, of those 30 cities, 27 have Democratic mayors, the exceptions being Lexington and Jacksonville, which have Republican mayors, and Las Vegas, whose mayor is an Independent. And within those 30 cities there are at least 14 Soros-backed or Soros-inspired rogue prosecutors. Those Soros bought-and-paid-for or inspired rogue prosecutors include:

Study debunks ‘red state murder’ claim from Hillary Clinton, Democrats
=================






In February 2022, CBS News published a report about cities with the highest homicide rate, "Murder map: Deadliest U.S. cities." Of the top 10 deadliest cities in the country, all of them are cities with Democratic mayors. Moreover, of the 65 cities on this list with the highest murder rates, the overwhelming majority had Democratic mayors. And, to quote Clinton, "that's just a fact."
----
On Nov. 4, the Heritage Foundation released a study showing that "high-crime counties are governed largely by Democrats." It revealed that of the 30 cities with the highest murder rates in the country, 27 have Democratic mayors. Furthermore, of those 27 cities, nearly half (14) have radical left-wing prosecutors funded or inspired by affluent billionaire and leftist political activist George Soros and the Open Society Foundation.
"The high murder rate is almost exclusively cabined in cities run by Democrats and with Democrat district attorneys, many of whom are Soros bought-and-paid-for rogue prosecutors or inspired by Soros, groups like the egregiously misnamed Fair and Just Prosecution and other battering rams of the movement," the authors of the study stated.

Don't believe Democrats' lies — blue cities, not red states, have the violent crime problem

From poster, Toobfreak.

I chose 58 cities as that was the largest number I could fit on a page. I then went through each city one by one to look up the major of every city. Aside from the fact that you can forget finding any pattern of cities in "red" states being the most with the highest crime as the idiot Marc tries to claim, but I went down the list marking all the mayors of the highest crimes cities in America in BRIGHT RED who were DEMOCRATS.


Look at what I found:

Every city above in red is RUN BY A DEMOCRAT!

Murder map: Deadliest U.S. cities


Also.....

The No. 1 state on Third Way’s list is Mississippi. Sure enough, the statewide vote in the 2020 election was for Trump. But within the state, Hinds County residents voted for Joe Biden, 3 to 1. Mississippi’s biggest city, Jackson, is in Hinds County. You know where this is going.
Reporting on Jackson last year, CNN declared it “one of the deadliest U.S. cities.”

The mayor of Jackson is Chokwe Antar Lumumba, a Democrat. The district attorney is Jody Owens, a Democrat.
No. 2 on the list is Louisiana. Trump won that state, too. But on the more local level, he lost Orleans, the parish that contains New Orleans, the state’s most populous city. Residents there went for Biden almost 8 to 1.
“New Orleans had the highest homicide rate of any major city so far this year, with about 41 homicides per 100,000 residents.”— The Wall Street Journal, Sep. 16, 2022
The mayor of New Orleans is LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat. The district attorney is Jason Williams, also a Democrat.
No. 3 on the list is Kentucky, another red state that voted to elect Trump. But Kentucky’s biggest city Louisville is in Jefferson County and 60 percent of those voters supported Biden.
This is from Kentucky-based think tank Pegasus Institute in August: “In the last decade, the city of Louisville has seen unprecedented increases in shootings and homicides. 2020 became Louisville’s deadliest year on record, and 2021 have proven to continue that trend.” The organization reported last year that Louisville’s homicide rate was competing with the likes of Chicago and Philadelphia.
The mayor of Louisville is Greg Fischer, a Democrat. The district attorney is Thomas B. Wine. He is also a Democrat.
Next is Alabama at No. 4, another 2020 red state. But Biden won the most votes in the most populous county, also called Jefferson. He won 56 percent to Trump’s 43. Within Jefferson is the city of Birmingham, which has the third-highest murder ratein all of the U.S.
The mayor of Birmingham is Randall Woodfin. He’s a Democrat, just like the district attorney, Danny Carr.
In slot No. 5 is Missouri. Again, a Trump state. And again, with the county containing its biggest city, St. Louis, going for Biden, 61 percent to Trump’s 37. St. Louis has the fourth-highest murder rate in the country.
Mayor: Tishaura Jones, Democrat.
County prosecuting attorney: Wesley Bell, same.
No. 6 is South Carolina. Trump won that state, but Charleston County, with the city of North Charleston, went for Biden with 56 percent of the vote. North Charleston has the highest murder rate in the state.
Finally, here we have a city with a mayor, Keith Summey, from the Republican Party. The county solicitor — Charleston does not have a district attorney — is Scarlett Wilson, also a Republican.
Not that we’re keeping score, but that brings the number on this list of Republicans who might feasibly be held accountable for raging crime in their cities to a grand total of two. For Democrats, it’s so far 10.
The next two states on Third Way’s report, New Mexico and Georgia, went blue in 2020, so we’ll skip those.
No. 9 is Arkansas, which was red. But again, Pulaski County, with the state’s biggest city of Little Rock, went blue with 60 percent of voters choosing Biden. That city reportedly has one of the highest violent crime rates in the state. The mayor of Little Rock is Frank Scott, a Democrat. The county prosecutor, Larry Jegley, is a Democrat as well.
Lastly, at No. 10, is Tennessee. Another red state with a major blue county that went for Biden. That county here would be Shelby, with 64 percent of the vote going to the president. In Shelby is the city of Memphis, which, according to The New York Times, “is often ranked among the nation’s most violent cities.”
The mayor of Memphis is Jim Strickland, a Democrat. Steve Mulroy, a Democrat, is the recently-elected district attorney.
To recap, of the eight red states listed in Third Way’s report as being among the top 10 with the highest murder rate, the cities where all that murder is happening are run almost exclusively by Democrats. All but one had a Democrat mayor. And all but one had a Democrat responsible for pursuing criminal prosecutions.
