This is the House That @Jack Built
The Elephant in the Room that Won't Go Away
The one thing you forgot to add is the absent father syndrome which has huge implications and affects the children of the fractured family system. [More]
You're right about that being a major factor but I did not forget about it -- I deliberately limited myself to rebutting those factors Rev. Lynch introduced, albeit I generally gave it a nod in the statement:
The truth about urban violence is it’s not about guns (or the made-up political term “gun violence”), but about the inevitable fruits of “progressive” fraud that keeps charlatans in power through an endless cycle of dependency and manipulation. Yes, race is a factor—not as a cause of violent crime, but as an indicator of populations most influenced and ultimately victimized by a continuing history of destructive collectivist controls over the economy, over education, and over the lives of those who never escape the trap of a corrupt system.
Those policies include generational government subsidies that guarantee more of the same. I have addressed this directly on numerous occasions though. One that comes to mind was in a friendly reminder I wrote several years back to a colleague who maintained Seattle and pre-"shall issue" Milwaukee had "roughly the same social makeup," and therefore the "big difference" between their homicide rates was due to concealed carry:
Sorry ... but the cities do not share "roughly the same...social makeup." Just look at the comparison between "female householders, no husband present" (8.09% vs. 21.07%).
Disregarding the leftist riot nonsense and looking at both cities today with what's happening in Milwaukee, it's pretty obvious that what you say is the elephant in the room that too may on "both sides" won't address for reasons that also seem pretty obvious.
My caveat here is that we'll need to wait for new census figures to come in to establish authoritative current rates -- unless someone can point to reliable local data.

The Content of Their Character
Antifa showing the public a visual representation of their political agenda. They put US flags on the guillotine prop and set all of it on fire outside the SE police building ... Antifa also threw feces and urine at people at the downtown pro-police rally this afternoon. [More]
They're feeling pretty invulnerable right now, aren't they?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Safe' Is
We're the Only Ones Adamant Enough
While the general security team which is Layer One of security and the second layer transit security specialists do not carry firearms, Scott says it's for the best. He is adamant, only highly-trained law enforcement should have to make the split-second decision on the use of deadly force. [Watch]
Trust in the "Only Ones." And don't "put too much stock in the negative public perception."
Great job there, highly-trained Fox 2 News at Five "journalists"!

Godwin's Law Writ Large
A woman who has had a long and successful career in journalism in a free press in a country free from genocide believes the United States is comparable to Nazi Germany. [More]
Well, Disney, The Atlantic, ESPN...
Was there a question here...? Aside from "Does this national socialist idiot 'think' she's being original?"

Grin and Bear It
In the letter, the Reps. Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Mike Johnson, Ken Buck, and others determined that Amazon’s reliance on the SPLC to decide which charities may become eligible for the Smile donation program confirms that “Big Tech is biased against conservatives and censors conservative views.” [More]
I don't suppose staying out of it as long as it's a lawful charity is an option...?

Not to Split Hairs, But...
“I agree with Rep. Biedermann: if you are not prohibited from possessing a handgun, you should not be prohibited from carrying it. Texas still requires those who legally own a handgun to get a government permit to carry that handgun. This permit requirement does not stop criminals; it only disarms victims and makes it harder for certain classes of Texans to keep themselves and their families safe." [More]
How about those of us who would be designated prohibited if we're ever caught disobeying citizen disarmament edicts? I wonder if Rachel would agree that if you truly can't be trusted with a gun you have proven yourself to be an untrustworthy monster with no business stalking freely among the rest of us.
Call to Heed ‘Missing Voices’ Deflects from Real Violence Solutions
“When the questions are raised on how we stop the violence, I think there is a voice often missing from the conversation,” he says. “But the voice never heard is that of the killers.” [More]
Isn't it ironic how many "community leaders" seem to believe that continuing to follow a proven formula for failure is "progress"?
