Another school shooting in my country, in Blagoveshensk. A "shy" student came into colledge with hunting rifle, bypassed the guard, and started to shoot other students.
Two victims dead, two injured. The murderer committed suicide. Still unclear, what driven him, but seems to be some personal conflicts and bulling. Seems that even rather strict gun control coukd not completely stop such incidents... ------------------------------

You explicitly said:
Why do for example St. Louis, Oakland, Baltimore and others have higher violent crime rates than Chicago then? And for non-violent crimes both Detroit and Chicago is in the middling compared to other US cities.

I posted a snarky comment before reading your post. My sympathies to you. |

Because they are all in the same group: large cities ruled for decades by hard-left Democrats, all implementing similar leftist policies. You’re surprised they’ve all wound up in pretty much the same boat? ——————————— Nameless Minion: “Thor! Thor! They killed Loki!” Thor: “Again?” |

However all western developed countries have been under governments that are further left than US Democrats for decades, but have lower levels of violent crime in general, and gun crime in particular.

The US is almost unique because we have one large minority population that feels entitled to engage in violent crime because their ancestors were slaves and another large minority population that feels entitled to engage in violent crime because white Europeans invaded their continents.

That doesn't explain why Jamaican immigrants to the US do not fit this stereotype. Jamaicans living here are much more likely to be prosperous even though they do live in those Dem-leftist controlled large cities and their ancestors were also slaves in the Americas. I think it is much more a matter of an ethnic group practicing habits that promote prosperity. Ethnic Asians and Nigerians are further examples of minority groups practicing habits that promote prosperity. |

And I'm sure you can back that statement up with facts... --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |
