If it’s just poverty why were less per capita mass shootings, armed robbery’s less pervasive during the Great Depression when the poverty rate was much higher? Failed parenting. If you don’t know where your kids are and who they’re with, you failed as a parent.

Mass shootings aren’t poverty related, they’re hate related. Lumping them into crime statistics is nonsense.

It’s a crime. Murder is a crime no matter the reason.

The end result is the same. People are dead or severely injured. Murder if it’s for money via robbery or because of hate is still murder. Murder is murder regardless of the reason. Every murderer needs to get the hot shot after their appeals are exhausted. Expedite the appeal process in 30 days.

Wall Street crashed in October 1929. The federal government didn’t announced an organized nationwide crime data program until 1930, and it would have taken years to get going. There also a huge difference between generational poverty and sudden unemployment.

I was a product of generational poverty. My mother, sister and I bounced from living with my grandmother and the projects. My sister and I out by graduating from PITT. I remember I could work at Arby’s from April through August and earn enough to pay my tuition with no loans. Can that be done today

Isn’t that when the FBI was created? That might have been one of their original purposes. Statistical analysis to fight crime. There is definitely a difference between generational poverty and sudden unemployment. The way out were things like affordable college tuition. That’s all but gone.
