Where da Demorat contolled states?

[OddBeMe]

[contentious]

I wonder were the Democrats could be... It's a total mystery...

[contentious]

[OddBeMe]

So what's your argument? Red state mayors and guvs can't control their states?

[contentious]

You highlighted a bunch of very blue cities. I showed the evidence. Cities are responsibly for policing themselves. That's why there are city police forces who have jurisdiction in their own city. Thus, your problem is that Democrats can't control themselves. They are not capable of living together in a civilization as civilians, nor are they capable of managing their own crisis in government.

[OddBeMe]

So the cities are independent and aren't "governed" by the state? Your argument is the weakest yet.

[contentious]

All policing departments have a primary patrol jurisdiction. For those Democrat cities you mentioned that would fall in the hands of the municipal police. State police can assist them in enforcing state laws obviously, but 1) it is not their primary patrol jurisdiction. There is a division of responsibility across a state. 2) State police do not have authority over municipal police, so no they aren’t controllers or governors of the local police departments. Municipal police derive their authority from the local government. State police can only control those offices under their direct command. It is possible for the state police to say these Democrats are a bunch of fuck ups and run widespread independent operations in their cities if the governor orders it, but it’s not common practice.

I'm just going to leave this here for comparison, the stats from my home county. It's a mix of both affluent and deprived areas and run by a far left political party. A weapon offence could include not storing your gun properly and drug offence could be just found with a joint (I suspect most of these offences are people smuggling from Ireland on the ferry). Note the big fat zero murder rate.

Remember children, we all get angry and upset and when we do we don't think clearly and in that state of mind we do stupid things. Having a gun in your pocket is dumb as fuck because you'll probably use it.

[OneViewpoint]

Confirmation of American Exceptionalism. We have states that make 3rd world countries look like resort destinations. Come vacation in our shithole Red States. Rent a car and a gun. It's great fun for the whole family.

[OddBeMe]

We have worse wealth gaps than many Third Worlds.

St louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit, Baton Rouge. and , wait for it... Jackson, Miss. with this mayor. Chokwe Antar Lumumba is the 53rd mayor of Jackson, Mississippi. He was born on March 29, 1983 in Detroit, Michigan, and was sworn in as mayor at the age of 34, making him the youngest mayor in the city's history. Lumumba is an attorney, activist, and politician who identifies as a progressive, socialist, and political revolutionary.

[OddBeMe]

Right... powerful mayors override governors and run their cities like dictators.

Wait that's bullshit.

[exitseven]

@OddBeMe Everywhere democrats turn up, everything turns to shit.

[OddBeMe]

Checking... red states are dem run?

[exitseven]

Which ones?

[OddBeMe]

The ones in the fckin list up there

[exitseven]

It is the city's run by democrats that are murder capitals. A state like Mississippi is run by a Republican Governor like most states and most of the state is safe but a small concentration of democrats and the welfare class is enough to turn it into a wasteland. In the town where I live in the state forced an "affordable housing" complex. The town voted overwhelmingly for President Trump. The project was tucked behind McDonalds and if you didn't know it was there you would not know what it was. However if you look at the weekly police blotter , over 50 percent of police incidents happen there.

Where it's hot and there's lots of disadvantaged black people, there's lots of murders?

Chicago didn't make the list... because the others are so bad.

Horrific... a snowballing human tragedy. Why aren't black leaders focused on fixing this tragedy?

[OddBeMe]

So it’s not the fault of replublocan marginalization?

[Opinion Owner]

I see very diverse groups move to my republican area... for one reason... it's successful, safe, a nice place to live. Inclusive of many cultures.
The democrat areas are a disaster zone.
I don't see republicans marginalizing anyone locally. I see people screwing themselves in democrat areas, and others are trapped in the hell and hard to get out. Those that achieve (sports, academics) in spite of the system, they move out. Others get stuck and their offspring suffer the consequences of the corrupt environment.
Want to fix it, it's fixable. very hard though.

[OddBeMe]

What are Democrat areas? Red states are run by repub governors. Are they powerless?

[Opinion Owner]

I generally associate democrat areas with those that are government controlled and a mess. Bridgeport connecticut, Baltimore MD, Dayton Ohio, Oakland California.
Maybe there are some good ones... just my reaction.
My area is Republican and one of the few in my state... it's one of the best to live in. My church is like an m&m's container filled with colors and flavors.

It isn't a race thing... people like success. Some areas get stuck.

[OddBeMe]

What are dem controlled vs repub controlled? A mayor may be a dem surrounded by repub state congressmen and a repub gov.

[Opinion Owner]

my state representative is republican, one of the few in the state. In other words, people here vote republican in a state controlled democrat. that's what I'm saying.

[OddBeMe]

OK granted. So Jackson Mississippi might have a Dem mayor... but the state and congress are Repub powerhouses. No?

[Opinion Owner]

not familiar with that area...

[OddBeMe]

Im just asking your metric for Dem or Repub controlled area.

[Opinion Owner]

Just experience, not saying it's 100% correct everywhere. NYC is democrat, most of it is not a place I'd want to live... except where it's very controlled. Possibly democrat, but they are strict whom goes in... so it isn't totally trashed, etc etc..

Balance is good and when goes too far, the republicans are awful... like back in the 1900's slave labor, locking people in sweat shops. There's a reason to control businesses/corporations.

As it is, democrats are too weak in their policies... schools, police, discipline... too liberal... and without a god it seems. forget that. Humans are devils left to their own devices and without sufficient parents to control the offspring.

[DrPepper12]

No surprises there. Crime in general & serious crimes specifically are a red state phenomenon.

Certain people will now argue that Europe has much less illegal immigrants :D

[Pohjolan]

We'll take 10 Mexicans for every one muslim you take in exchange.

[OddBeMe]

(Chscking stats) immigrants... even illegals... break fewer laws than native born citizens.

[Pohjolan]

@OddBeMe
Not per capita, at least in Europe.

[noohair]

I am in favor of you moving to Europe. I will throw the party...

[Kingofkings1992]

@OddBeMe vomiting some more bullshit. What else is new?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Now correlate that with demographics.

[OddBeMe]

Meaning?

[seeyounexttuesday]

dem·o·graph·ics
/ˌdeməˈɡrafiks/
noun
statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it.

[OddBeMe]

Wow, you're an idiot. Per 100,000. Stats.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Have you done your homework, yet?
