Does USA Have a Mental Illness or Gun Control Problem?

[ProfD]

A supposedly mentally ill Black man kills a young Ukrainian woman on a public transit train in North Carolina. It was caught on video.

 

Immediately, white folks are outraged. The DOJ is already moving towards a death penalty charge. 

 

However, when a white mass shooter kills a few childen and other folks, whites don't have the same energy to severely punish their own bult immediately want to talk about doing more for mental health.

 

White folks don't even talk about gun control when it comes to their own regardless of how many people get killed.

 

White folks only see murder as a problem when Black men are killing them.

 

White folks conveniently want to claim Black men are a small percentage of the population but responsible for most of US murders.

 

Nevermind that most murder victims are of the same race as the perpetrator.  Same goes for crime in general. 

 

From the national guard being deployed in select cities to blaming murders on us, Black men may be under siege with on the current administration watch.

 

I don't know how many n8gglets voted for the clown but it's about to get real especially for those involved in crime. A few innocent bystanders will get scooped up in the BS too.

 

Black men...keep your paperwork on point and hands clean and head on a swivel. Learn how to defend yourself by any means necessary.

Probably both!

The fact that this guy had a long criminal record and as a repeat offender should not have been released back onto the streets is a factor.

This figures into a lot of Chicago's crime and was certainly what led to Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx's decision to not seek re-election. This sista faced a lot of criticism from both Whites and Blacks and her office was blamed for there being so many criminals roaming the streets, having been set free to commit more crimes. Overcrowded jails contributed to this problem.

 

The situation is fraught with hopelessness. No easy answers.

Back in the 1980s, along with flooding urban areas with drugs, the Reagan administration also shuttered mental health facilities.

 

The Reagan administration figured it made more sense to send mentally ill people back home to their families and/or to the streets. 

 

The rationale was that if the mentally ill turned criminal, they would be locked up in the brand new prisons being constructed to warehouse people. 

 

All forms of crime are great for business in the USA.  Many careers and the economy are built on everything from drugs to murder and the by-products of it.

 

White folks want to crack down on crime in the inner cities that they don't live or step foot in for any reason other than to buy drugs and/or get cheap s8x. 

 

Politicians of all stripes are the worst in terms of using crime as a talking point.  They only use crime to enrich themselves but never provide *solutions* to the *problems*.

A very bleak picture. Especially since there doesn't appear to be much chance of reform.

This is the end result of humanity being self-destructive. (Just ask Harry Brown. ) 

When it all comes to a head and explodes ala the Big Bang, the world will be back at square one, ready to begin again,  and will  just keep on doing this until it gets it right.

    That's the waaay

             Of the world

             Plant a diamond

             And grooow

             A pearl!

Or -  maybe we'll all finally wake up from this hell of a nightmare, and find ourselves in Paradise. 

 

You, of course, envision a final showdown where you'll go down fightin...

Depending on one's circumstances, this situation has always been h8ll to some and paradise to others.

If you're referring to me, I do not envision being a part of a final showdown where I go down fighting.   

 

While I'm always prepared to defend myself, I believe that most likely I will expire of natural causes.

I hope so, good buddy.
