Oh, wait, you mean the headline didn't mean that.

Never mind.

Good thing it wasn't an iPhone.

Correlating crime and race without considering societal factors that contribute to one's upbringing/ drive to commit crime is moronic.

Kozol does an excellent job of spelling out the factors that lead to the creation of a criminal. He visits the most affluent communities (Cherry Hill, NJ,etc) as well as the most impoversished (near Gary, Indiana, I think) and paints an accurate picture of what schools look like in each community, how family structures are different,etc.

It lets you see these disparities in predominatly black hoods vs. white-bread hoods and he articulates it well..something I am incapable of.

If you look at stats alone, and NOT the context in which they occur, I'm guessing it's b/c you know you wont like what you find if you dig a little deeper.

Or
the typical slog troll commenters? in which case; yes, as usual, they act like imbeciles, barely managing to literally comment, let alone contribute to any sort of web-community discussion, or *gawd forbid*, enter here with an open enough mind to leave with something new in it.

My 2 bits on personal defense: Conceal a Taser: it's the happy medium - all the incapicitation of firearm bullets with none of the blood. Me, I'm saving up for a blackmarket X12: 100 feet range, bigass tasing BULLETS.
My 2bits on racism debate : it doesn't matter what pigment of skin the victim nor the criminal have. "Crime happened in a usually tame/well-heeled area, and the victim didn't roll over" is the story.

Note to potential ipod thiefs: going to a rich neighborhood where their guard is down is clever, but stay the hell off cap hill - it's too much work - we're on to your MO.

In this case, reading comments by Matt from Denver begins to read like "Garfield without Garfield." One lone dude shouting odd things to nobody in particular.

Seriously, y'all. Try it. Amusing for almost five seconds.
