Yall care when it's a pretty blonde white woman but this happens every hour in Nashville
Fuck off. I cared every bit as much when it was a bunch of brown SCHOOL KIDS in Texas or a black kid in FL with a fucking bag of skittles.
almost 9,000 people shot a year in Nashville! TIL
Compared to the 45 gun deaths yearly registered in all of Australia. Jeez.
The actual number is about 100 a year for metro Nashville. Not quite one an hour.
Tennessee has two of the top ten most dangerous cities in America, Memphis and Nashville. Chattanooga is in the top 20 too, I believe.
In Nashville there are mentally handicapped dudes who were just deemed incompetent to stand trial for almost the exact same thing, who shoot at random cars all the time?
Wow, small world.
Oh ok.. I guess it's on then...
The only reason this is a story and you're the only one here who said anything about it - and you get downvoted. Because there's no racism in the fediverse, is there?
Truth. It can stop if we get rid of the gangsters in the ghettos with their illegal guns. We don’t need more cops, just higher rent and taxes to price you out of your dwellings and force you to leave since you refuse to get an education and find jobs.
Man it's like you just hate people and thinking.
If you deprive people from a legal means of housing and feeding themselves, they will house and feed themselves in less legal ways.
Why is it so expensive to live in a city like Nashville?
The same reason it's expensive to live anywhere in the U.S. now. Corporations own all the property.
Or some of you will realize that you need to get an education and a job and help the others learn. The ones that don’t learn should be sent to a remote part of Alaska and provided survival manuals that they need to figure out how to use to build a civil society. Their will be sentries ala Escape from LA/NY and these criminals can either choose to live in peace or chaos. Drones will televise for entertainment.
Oh yeah it's so easy to get an education right? That's like free right? Be quiet with your psycho rambling, go to Alaska yourself.
Ever hear of public primary and high school. It’s free. You just need to make the kids show up so that they don’t end up being criminals.
Yeah sure every school is equally well funded enough to stop kids from doing crimes. Crimes never occurr at schools.
"you need to get an education"
Maybe you should listen to your own recommendations first before commenting
What a witty remark? I have an MBA and am more qualified to talk about socioeconomic circumstances than most. I’m done though with allowing people to play the systemic oppression card. At some point, people need to work on improving their culture from anti-education and anti-work to pro-education and driven. Black people want to make it all about their oppression, but my people went through the same bullshit including a holocaust and came here with nothing. They weren’t allowed in anyone’s clubs and were barred from many neighborhoods, but we valued education and hard work.
I wish we all could be as smart as you.
Thanks. I appreciate the positive vibes.
