If you remove those numbers the US goes down the list of murder rates to where it compares favorably to many European countries, even though most of them have strict gun control laws compared to the US. Even if you adjust the US's population figures to only non-blacks and remove only the black on black murder numbers the US's rate still becomes comparable to European rates which sheds a lot of doubt on whether America's "gun culture" or even our "culture of violence" is the easy explanation to our problems that the liberals would like them to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-55769663371608109642016-07-11T11:08:09.714-04:002016-07-11T11:08:09.714-04:00Also if you account for non-gang related murders, ...Also if you account for non-gang related murders, there's essentially no murder in the US.<br /><br />Criminal on criminal violence is the norm as well.Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-87576779567287089762016-07-11T10:05:20.652-04:002016-07-11T10:05:20.652-04:00This is a liberal biased organization's analys...This is a liberal biased organization's analysis of FBI numbers. They try to sugar coat things and present the numbers in a way that most supports their political agenda, but even then, to the point that BLM should be more interested in black-on-black murders... according to this article 93% of blacks who are murdered are murdered by other blacks. That number falls to 84% of whites being killed by other whites. And one thing the article neglects to mention because it is inconvenient for their talking points is that African Americans make up only about 12% of the US population compared to 17% hispanic and 63% caucasian (and roughly 8% all other races). What they don't want people to hear is that if African Americans were the majority the number of blacks murdered by non-blacks could easily be surmised by the numbers to drop to nearly zero.<br /><br />http://www.politifact.com/florida/article/2015/may/21/updated-look-statistics-black-black-murders/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
