What the Hell Happened? Violence and Moral Decay in Black Communities!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Four black teens (ages 16-19) brutally attack man in Little Italy. They broke his jaw. I see young black kids (usually from single parent homes) getting into a lot of trouble here in Flint. And it's only a matter of time until one of them gets shot.
Mob Of Teens Brutally Attack Man In Heart Of Little Italy
This story is not a reflection of all black youth, but clearly we have a problem. Most of our black children are being raised in single mother homes with little or no male influence. The fathers are too often not playing an active role in the children's lives. We have a large percentage of our black mothers with children from different fathers. What we have here in America is a black population that is becoming extremely unstable.
Not only is the black unemployment rate dramatically higher than whites, but we are grossly over-represented in the prison system.
According to the National Institute of Justice, although only 1 out 106 white males are incarcerate in the U.S., one out of 15 black males are incarcerated. Think about that. 1 out of 15 black males are incarcerated. If that's not a sign of instability and failure, what the hell would qualify. And before people send me messages about poverty, slavery and economic inequality, let me cut through the bullshit. Slavery, poverty and racism are terrible, but none of it justifies the violent madness in our black communities.
One Word: Murder!
According to the FBI, even though blacks only represent 12% of the general population, we consistently represent 50% of all murder offenders every year.
LOOK AT IT: Uniform Crime Reporting
Let me break it down for you. In 2011, the United States had 12,664 murders. 50% of the murder victims were black and 46% were white. It gets worse. Here's a racial break of the offenders: 52.4% were black, 45.2% were white. Again, blacks only represent 12% of the population. Houston, we have a f&*%@#$ problem!
There is no conspiracy. Although, most black males are not violent criminals, we are a serious problem. We are producing too many degenerate, thugs. They are killing one each other, they are killing innocent children and they impregnating our women and creating more instability. Our families have broken down, our communities are non-existent and we have lost control.
And the worst thing is that we refuse to admit that we are failing., Just as we refused to admit that the ultra liberal, corrupt union loving, tax-you-to-death, urban disaster known as Detroit was failing. The auto industry's decline hurt Detroit, the political class' response made the problem worse. And now we are making the problem in the black population worse by assuming we can ignore the core problems and blame it on someone else.
We can't blame white people for this madness. Yes, their is systematic and individual racism, but people deal with that all over the world. There are people in Africa who don't even have fresh drinking water. So how can we blame poverty for the the outrageous violence in black areas.
The type of insane killing in cities like Detroit, Chicago, Flint and D.C. is symptomatic of a cultural and moral breakdown.
What the hell happened to black culture? Obviously, most black are not violent loons. Is this the result of CIA operations to poison black communities with crack? Did it begin with the break down of the family? Or maybe it was a combination of factors?
What the hell happened?

Anti-Gun Laws Could Get People Killed During COLLAPSE
There's foolishness and then there's Illinois. Remember Chris Rock's comedy piece about fighting crime by making people pay an insane amount for bullets? If not, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinklemay seems to have taken the idea and run with it. Preckwinkle is proposing a new set of taxes on firearms and bullets. The proposal calls for a nickel per round tax and an additional $25 tax for each firearm. Preckwinkleis convinced that this will lower crime and raise more tax revenue. After all, we all know criminals don't steal ammo. What's fascinating about this idea is that we know that it will not work. Chicago has some of the most extreme anti-laws in the country. Law abidding citizens are not allowed to carry firearms, yet the city has had 409 homicides this year alone. Granted, it's not as bad as the early 90s, but most of the crime is coming from gangs, not the average Joe at a shooting range.
Official proposes bullet tax to curb Chicago crime
But this anti-gun foolishness has sparked a rather gloomy thought in my mind about how these people will fair if law and order breaks down. What would happen to these anti-gun proponents in a full-scale collapse scenario? I'm not survivialist, but I think it's safe to say that by not preparing for a situation that requires self defense is setting oneself up for failure. Let me be frank, criminals don't care if you're anti-gun. If society breaks apart, people will become desperate and dangerous. A Glock 17 or a Sig Sauer maybe the only thing that prevents a single mother from getting raped or a married man from being stabbed to death by home invaders. I don't care if you like guns. I don't cars or cellphones, but I need a cellphone and car for my job. When it comes to guns, people will have to do what it takes to survive.
These anti-gun laws are setting people up for failure. It's conditioning people to not protect themselves and that is simply irresponsible. Why make it harder for law abiding citizens to protect themselves? I strongly recommend everyone buy a gun legally, learn how to use it, store it safely and legally carry it everywhere you can. If you're a single woman living by yourself, you maybe targeted by a predator. If you're a cute college girl living on a GUN FREE ZONE campus, remember you'll be a very attractive target for a predator. After all, you're not supposed to have a gun. If you're living in a upper middle class neighborhood 20 miles outside of a city, the desperate city-dwellers people may target you before they focus on their broke ass neighbors.
People tell me all of the time to get out of the city, but what they don't realize is that most of the desperate people in the city will be looking for suburbanites with resources.
After all, many people will assume that a family with three late model cars will have food. The funny thing is that if society collapsed tomorrow and the lights went out, there would be millions of upper middle class citizens with 50 inch TVs, 60,000 dollar cars, 300,000 dollar houses and less than a week of non-perishable food.
No matter how you feel about guns, if you're serious about helping your family survive, you can't ignore the need for a gun. Don't like the TV shows like "The Walking Dead" convince you that if there's a social breakdown, you will be able to pick up a firearm and shot with the marksmanship of a Navy Seal. If you get a gun, make you know how to use it. You don't want your first shots to happen during a crisis. And forcing law abiding citizens to take on an additional tax burden may put good people in a bad situation.

Police Warn "Enter Detroit At Your Own Risk!"
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
“Enter At Your Own Risk” is what the Detroit Police union is telling visitors about the city of Detroit. The Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) held a political rally warning Michiganders that the city is becoming more dangerous. The union warned that the department is "grossly understaffed", while the homicide rate continues to soar. Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) Attorney Donato Ioriotold the press that the police force is shrinking as more officers exit the city.
Enter At Your Own Risk: Police Union Says ‘War-Like’ Detroit Is Unsafe For Visitors
Frankly, I don't blame them. Many cops simply can't afford to work in Detroit. They pay is dropping, but the cost of living is raising.
I live 60 miles north of Detroit in a city that shares more than a few similarities with Motown. Like Detroit, my home town (Flint, Michigan) is a decaying industrial city littered with abandoned buildings, burnt out homes and a struggling economy. Both Flint and Detroit have extremely high crime rates. They are consistently ranked as the most violent cities in the country every year. In 2011, Flint was ranked the most dangerous city in America, even beating Detroit. Flint had the second-highest murder rate and the highest rates of aggravated assault, burglary and arson in the country.

The state police added detectives to help Flint police officers, but the problem seems to be bigger that staffing. It's bigger than manpower. I travel to Detroit quite often to visit family members. I've brought family members to Belle Isle, Greektown, The Detroit Zoo (in Royal Oak), The Detroit Institute of Arts. I've even toured the neighbors where I grew up (in Detroit) and other locales. So unlike most commentators bashing Detroit, I've been inside the city.
I've seen the good that the city has to offer. But when it comes to crime, I think Detroit is experiencing a social and moral breakdown. The government is corrupt to the core, the tax base can't support a decent education system, too many drug addicted zombies are willing to kill for almost nothing, too many young people have embraced a thug culture of degeneracy, criminals have become emboldened the citizens' fear and too many incompetent people are having too many children and not installing good values in the youth.
I have family in the Detroit suburbs and in the city who are afraid to enter many parts of the city. And some family members' fear of being out at night resembles Robert Neville fright in the 1971 classic film "The Omega Man."
So how can I respond to this threat? Should I avoid the city at all cost. I don't blame you if you decide to never visit. But I will walk a different path. I have family in Detroit and I already live in a dangerous city. My plan is to continue enjoying the jazz festivals that Detroit has to offer. I'm going to visit the Detroit Opera House and visit Mexicantown. I'll walk through Downtown Detroit the same way I walk through Flint: armed with my Glock 21 (45 ACP). I have a Concealed Pistol License and am I want to live as peacefully as I can. But I refuse to be a prisoner in my home.
I refuse to let the bad guys keep me away from Detroit. I will walk through Detroit with a great sense of awareness and learn to survive. Because as the United States declines economically and politically, millions will be too desperate, too drugged out or too spiritually drained to care about morality.
Whether you know it or not, Detroit is coming to a town near you.
