    I'm not hard to find.
    Nor are your definitive numbers, I'll help you out, old table but best I could do at the moment.

    If this were Top Gun it would be about a 7.5 to 1 kill ratio! Not bad but not great but for a element of civilized society it's piss poor. I dunno, maybe it was Bush's fault?

    Nonsense. You don't understand what the term privilege means, nor do you understand what a right is.

    When you can get that straight, get back to me.

    But you just dont understand. Some on here say you have just as much chance being a victim of crime walking through Homeland or Ruxton at night as you do walking on Aisquith or North Avenues. Of course they really know better but it suits their agenda to spew that BS.

    I post about crime. But not with a racial agenda.
    Funny thing is there are posters here that only post about "urban" crime, and everyone discusses the ills of the urban dwellers. Yet A poster wants to post about suburban crime and it's a problem. And it seems all of the threads are merged. I don't recall all of the city savage animal threads being merged wholesale. Crime is crime and if you are against it you are against it. The problem here is it's used to indict a population of people, when it's the group that we agree with, it's ok.

    The issue was not the threads themselves, but that the poster was flooding the board with them--maybe 8 or 10 threads in one morning. The Locals board is usually not that busy. There is no hard and fast rule about the number of threads one may start, but it seemed like overkill to me.

    I've done the same thing to posters who start numerous Muslim-bashing and Obama-bashing threads in one day.

    I get that Matt and it makes sense. I still don't get why posters get upset at posters who start threads about crime in one area, but will discuss endlessly on threads about crime in another.

    It is not crime in an area. It is crime by a race.
    And it does not upset me. But I do like to point out what it is and what she is doing.

    Either way, if you can take several threads about one race, why get upset when someone posts some about another. And yeah it may be one poster doing it about a race, but that's compared to several that post about another.

    Crime is crime

    I know, but crime is crime, instead of trying to prove how bad one group is, we should ALL be trying to come up with real solutions.

    And I believe theres strength in numbers, so a few can't do it alone.

    I think most other posters are just posting about crime. Because much of that crime is in Baltimore it happens that a lot of it involved black people.

    Maybe someone on here is focused on black crime. Perhaps you could show us.
    I did it one morning just to parody truthlies, I mean spot.

    Ok, so if the crime in Baltimore by blacks is being discussed, usually at length, as it happens, then does that have to be only crime discussed?

    Maybe you should show us everyone else that is focused on one topic, if you need to "parody" this/these posters for doing the same.

    Crime is crime. If you can discuss one, you can discuss another.
