Why Does Somebody's Political Party Matter When It Comes To Crime?

[Dekster]

Bingo!

That is the question.

When do we stop caring about the politics and start caring about the victims?

The answer to your question, for better or worse, is never.

...

That's no way to be.

That's no way to be.

Why was Charlie Kirk the top story for two weeks and the VIPs flocking to his funeral and the NC Boat shooting and the Mormon church thing already fading? It is because of politics, not "caring about the victim". When was the last time Mike Johnson had a moment of silence in the House for the people killed on any given Chicago weekend? It is all posturing, including the "caring".

Democrats live in red states. In my red state, Democratic areas are the poorest and the most violent.

Doesn't seem like the GOP led governments there with there 'Tough on Crime' is working...

Can I also point out compared to Europe (even more liberal), they even lower crime rate than US generally...

This is the thing, RW Media spends all day scaring the living shit out of conservatives that some evil is coming for you and you need to be armed and ready for them... They are animals...

Rest of the world says that the main way to tackle crime prevention is to tackle the social issues that makes crime acceptable... The Liberals are winning on the results, Liberal have lower crime and in EU case way lower...

Reality

Perception

This is the facts... US crime rate has been dropping while US people perception believes it is rising...

It's not fading because there is a lack of care for the victim; it's fading because we are not expected to mourn forever. Mayhap you are not fully versed on how most people mourn death. We are not supposed to dwell on it. Remember it, yes, dwell on it, no.

A good number of posters here ONLY know their political party. It is their very identity.

Instead of forming values and deciding on who best represents such, they join a party, and the party tell them what to think.

 

[Billiejeens]

Bingo!

That is the question.

When do we stop caring about the politics and start caring about the victims?

When we accept that virtually all of the violence is coming from left wing loons with an agenda -
because if we refuse to identify the problem, there is no way to cure it.

 

[Moonglow]

Bingo!

That is the question.

When do we stop caring about the politics and start caring about the victims?

Eventually, when the GOP starts caring about children being killed at schools, but they have not, they do not ever fly the flag at half mast fer the kids, just one guy named Charlie.

^^tunnel vision.

When will the right stop bullying the weak?

Hmm. Methinks this political tribalism is robbing us all of our humanity.

Nice posturing. The Mormon thing was TWO days ago yet people still be Je Suis Charlie Kirk-ing that was weeks ago. And so far as I know, there is still no moment of silence for the others being had....

Murder is murder, no matter who does it.

That is an unsubstantiated claim.

From my standpoint, Moonie, the Right doesn't go around bullying people by killing their most popular figures. Guess who did that? Yes, that's right, what popped into your head was "the Left."

No use denying it. The most egregious examples of political violence in the last 13-14 years have come from the left.

No, the right makes laws to discriminate against marginalized human beings legally. A rather anti-Christian action. The right kills also but it kills people MAGATs hate, so there are no big pageants or parades for the holy indoctrinated.

Not about religion either.

How Christian was it for someone to murder Kirk in cold blood? Hmm?

Not very Christian at all, yet that is ALL you can think about is Kirk...It's literally a one-horse town.
Twenty people a day are murdered in the USA where is yer compassion for them?

Oho. Don't make this about me.

There's a saying I hear often, and it applies well to politics:

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."

--James Baldwin

Cease your emotional platitudes.

Charlie had two kids left behind because of murder, but you have nary a thought for them, do you?
