DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 its the effort that counts. if you swing enough, you are bound to hit something But you can only swing at the balls that are thrown for you. Not too many people are willing to work at McDonalds for $5.50 an hour. Shit's gotta change. We need industry to return to this country. More real jobs for the have nots + no more lead contaminated toys + less people having to resort to hustling and robbing niggas to get by = win/win. /nocrossfire.

CACashRefund Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Oh yeah related to this thread i read this on the chronicle website today Nearly half of all murders in Oakland go uncharged for lack of a willing witness, so a shooter knows he has about a 50-50 chance of getting away with it.

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 That study also reaks of bullshit. How the fuck we have a higher murder rate than countries like Samolia and Iraq etc??? Fuck outa here. Yall gotta stop falling for this shit. Every major city in the US is bitching about the murder rate being insane lately. Fact is, is that it's half that of what it was in the early 90's. If you don't believe me, look it up for yourselves. The media is just trying to use fear tactics to sway everybody into backing the comming police state. As if we're not already there as it is.

Fucking media! :lol: Dude...there's only 400,000 people in Oakland. Plus, those murders are concentrated in three neighborhoods. I used to live in one of those neighborhoods. If you still live where you used to live, then your west side of town is like our west side of town. Our east side of town is like your south side. According to folks I know who lived in both places. That's just to give you a point of reference. How many people have been killed this year where you're at? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, America today is tame as fuck compared to 10-15 years ago. And people got a short term memory and actually believe this media hype bullshit. And they're all shaking in their boots and praying for a stronger police dominance. Just like the government and media wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about Philly, last I heard it was 300 something. And that was a few months back. And that's still tame as shit compared to the early 90's. And there's alot more people living in Philly now than there was then. Out of curiosity, you think you could dig up oaklands murder rate any year from the early 90's? Just to compare it to now? I remember bringing this up in another forum and somebody actually looked it up and the murder rate in I think it was 1990 in Philly was 500 something.

And people got a short term memory and actually believe this media hype bullshit. And they're all shaking in their boots and praying for a stronger police dominance. Just like the government and media wants. This is partially true. But, check it out- 415,492 divided by 115 is about one murder for every 3,600 people. Where you're at, it's 1,517,550 divided by 373, or 1 murder for about every 4,060 people. That's just statistics, it doesn't mean shit's more wild here or less wild there. It means that it's roughly 10% more likely to get killed on the streets of Oakland. I looked up the numbers online, they're out there if you want to check my math. Both cities obviously have it bad. It's a tragedy anyway you look at it. I think the reason a lot of this shit is happening is that more money is being spent on national defense and incarceration than on education, health care, or job development. But, that's just me.

I was born here Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 For the record, I never said anything about murder quota before this. I don't think it's anything to boast about either. http://www.urbanstrategies.org/programs/csj/oak_homicides.html According to this, 148 last year. That's a fair sized decrease compared to this year. Maybe violence in general has been declining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It peaked somewhere around 150 in 1993, I think. But, Oakland was SO fucking crazy back then. Thank crack for that. Same with Philly. Same with DC. There's a town called East Palo Alto across the Bay that had the highest per capita rate for a few years running in the 90's. I used to buy dope there. It was fucking SICK. Dirt roads, chickens in the street...most of the streets were dead ends, and the dealers would park nose-in. If shit went down or they felt like jacking someone, they'd back the cars up and block people in and open up on them. It's calmed down a lot since then, but that was all crack-related too. I'm looking for the actual numbers right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're missing my point. I'm not trying to say that one city is badder than the other, I'm just saying that shit today aint nearly as wild and murderous as the media is trying to make it out to be. Or at least not as crazy as it was when you and I were coming up. I can't speak for Oakland, but I know FOR A FACT that Philly is tame as shit nowadays compared to how it was when I was a teenager. And from stories I've heard, you couldn't even walk through most neighborhoods in the 1970's if you weren't from there or at least with somebody from there. I'm just saying that the media is hyping shit WAY beyond what it is. And they're doing the same headlines in alot of cities across the country.

Fondles Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 people are hard these days what can you do? hahaha, you got that wrong my friend. People these days are soft as baby shit. Technology and evolutions in our consciousness have changed the world considerably. Consider how society functioned back in 200 B.C. or even 1200 A.D. Shit was raw as fuck then.
