HooHog Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 It's not racially based at all. It's probably more socioeconomical. But honestly, not racial motivation whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 It's not racially based at all. It's probably more socioeconomical. But honestly, not racial motivation whatsoever. They do go hand in hand though. Dunno, maybe I've been reading too much into VA Lt Gov candidate EW Jackson's take on Roe v Wade. My fault for making that mentally leap when the intent wasn't there.

Predicto Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 so we are getting nicer? I think we may be getting nicer. We are also getting older. We also have more effective and proactive policing, better security and more surveillance than we used to. The experts do not seem to know all of the factors at play.
