Coulter On Gun Violence: ‘If You
Compare White Populations, We Have
The Same Murder Rate As Belgium’

Mediaite, by Anjali Sareen

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/15/2013 10:20:42 AM

Ann Coulter visited Sean Hannity‘s show Monday night to discuss President Obama‘s recent cabinet picks as well as his possible actions on gun control. Coulter said she had just come back from England where they have “not bought into” the “diversity enthusiasm” of the States. “The liberals,” Coulter claimed, are “pushing and pushing and pushing” to have more mass murderers of color. “If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium,” Coulter said. “So perhaps it’s not a gun problem, it’s a demographic problem.” (Snip) Hannity asked the conservative commentator what she thought

Comments:
No wonder leftists hate Coulter. She speaks the truth, something Democrats are completely incapable of.

She had better have some undeniable hard facts to back this up. She´s going to be raked over the coals even if she does for daring to speak the truth.

#2, those sorts of studies and portions of studies have been available for decades. FBI yearly stats are available or used to be with race listed, tabulated and summarized. The last study I bothered to read years ago was mentioned in an article titled "A Tale of two cities" or something close - compared Vancouver and Seattle. She´s right. LPs don´t like that kind of truth getting out though.

Why does Whitey carry the quilt of black on black murders? Is it time to hold Jackson, Sharpton and King responsible for their failed leadership & policies? As liberals buried the family, from the ashes came chaos

Not only do blacks commit half the murders in this country but they are responsible for half of all violent crime...rape, robbery, etc.

And most are black males or roughly 7% of our population doing 50% of the violent crime.

These are FBI statistics not mine but it´s certainly obvious why blacks make up half of our prison population.

Heh, let´s just compare really populous countries. Browsing the Wackypedia. We need to remove China from the listing since their official homicide rates are probably as truthful as their official defense budgets. For some reason, India´s official rate is about 1/4 lower than ours. Indonesia´s rate is almost twice as high. Then we get to Brazil - it´s *five times* as high as ours. Then another suspiciously low rate in Pakistan, a little *less* homicidal than Indonesia but still twice as bad as us.

"Homicide" frequently includes suicide, since it is a human-caused death.

So, among highly-populated countries who more-or-less honestly report their homicide rates, only India has a lower rate. Brazil is a homicidal hellhole.

Waiting for Duh International Media to start pounding on Brazil. Waiting. Waiting....

Someone should look at the crime rates (including murder) for blacks BEFORE the 1960s, when the country began to excuse bad behavior by minorities because of ´past discrimination´ and fortified the welfare system, thus destroying the black family structure.

The greatest racism against the decendents of African slaves in the US is hiding from the truth regarding what the great society welfare state has done to them. Highly predictable presumably unintended consequences have taken a drastic toll. The breakdown of the family unit accross all demographics is an inconvient truth we dare not speak of.

A year or so back I read an article on the HPost arguing that Southerners were hypocrites because they had the highest rate of STDs in the nation. Turns out that just comparing whites, Southerners were actually among the lowest. Seems that all that ´´Bible clinging´´ does some good.

Anyway, somehow the CDC didn´t get the Obama memo about not reporting inconvenient truths and this sort of statistical stuff is still available on line:

http://www.cdc.gov/std/health-disparities/race.htm

Pick a little man from each group (olive guy is ´white´, red guy is ´black´). Pick a year and your favorite STD and you´re good to go.

For example, in 2011, Blacks had a 17 times higher rate of the clap than did whites.

"Hadiya Pendleton was me, and I was her," said the first lady. "Thousands of children in this city live in neighborhoods where a funeral for a teenager is considered unfortunate, but not unusual; where wandering onto the wrong block or even just standing on your own front porch can mean putting yourself at risk," Michelle Obama told the Chicago crowd, according to a transcript provided by the White House.

Left-wing magazine Mother Jones made news this week with a report based on a secret recording of a Feb. 2 meeting of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell with campaign strategists. Federal and state law prohibits publication of information acquired through secret recording, but a 2001 Supreme Court ruling gives publishers like Mother Jones a get-out-of-jail-free card. But whoever taped the private conversation can’t wiggle off the hook so easily. Whoever bugged the meeting room or secretly placed a recording device will be in serious legal trouble — unless he or she was one of the strategists.

Santorum had been invited to deliver a upcoming speech on leadership by the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at Gross Pointe South High School. But the speech was canceled on Monday after the school district’s superintendent heard from angry teachers. “It’s a sad day when liberal educators are allowed to influence young minds – extending free speech rights only to those who share their liberal views,” Santorum said

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Cruz´s comments come as Congress debates passing a set of gun control measures meant to reduce gun violence and prevent shooting massacres similar to the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Using two email accounts for work isn’t a new practice, and was also done under President Bush, Jackson said.

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.

The state of California is reportedly considering legislation that would force group insurance policies to provide infertility treatment for gay and lesbian couples. Two men who have sex with each other for a year and do not produce a baby would be considered “infertile” under the proposed legislation. So would two women having sex. Since biology does not allow those without a uterus to conceive or those without a penis to impregnate, every year-long gay couple in California would potentially be covered by this new provision of California law.
