Early on June 17, Elsa Mikeska was shot and killed outside a Houston gym. The 62-year-old grandmother had just pulled into the gym parking lot when two men in an older Chevy Suburban got out, apparently demanding money, and then shot her dead as she fled toward the gym entrance. At this point, one of those responsible, a 16-year-old now charged with capital murder, has been apprehended, while two others remain at large.
It appears that the same persons who killed Mikeska may have attempted a carjacking an hour earlier and that same night shot through the window of a nearby home — into the bedroom of a 16-year-old girl.
It goes without saying that Mikeska’s killers must be caught and punished. But these killers, described by police as young Hispanic men, are just two or three out of a brutal underclass that threatens the conduct of everyday life everywhere in America. Though it includes whites as well, a disproportionate share of that underclass is Black and Hispanic — the same groups that are now flooding into America across our southern border.
According to 1991 Bureau of Justice Statistics, 4.4% of white males, 16% of Hispanic males, and 28.5% of Black males have spent time in state or federal prison. According to a study based on more recent 2010 data, 8% of the U.S. population overall and 33% of Black males have been incarcerated. In 2019, Blacks committed 5,660 murders and non-negligent manslaughters, while whites were responsible for 5,070, despite the fact that Whites constitute 60.3% of the population and Blacks 13.4%. In other words, Blacks commit approximately five times as many murders per capita as Whites. Yet Biden believes they are overrepresented on death row.
Obtaining current data on such a straightforward question as the number of U.S. felony convictions is not easy, since Google search frontloads the answers with “felony disenfranchisement” responses. I am not interested in felony disenfranchisement — I am interested in punishment and deterrence via incarceration and execution of violent felons.
The turd started this crap – President Trump brought it almost to a halt during his four years….
Joe and the Ho restarted it!
They and the dumbocrats are intent on destroying this country with their socialist ways!
Did I read this correct? Written in ink, dark skinned folk committing more crime than Whites. Say it ain’t sooo. Can’t be, there are more Whites than all tones combined and the dark skinned win. Why the doom and gloom from them. They are apparently better at crime than others.
If you don’t like stereotypes, then quit fulfilling. them.
And quit erecting statues of drug addicts and felons who you think deserve our worship.
Ah…….another stereotype.
