Jackson Jambalaya

The country is just too crowded. It happens with all animals when they are over crowded.
It doesn't make any difference what people blame it on, there will be those people who will not agree.

11:45 - Did you ever leave the US? Ever been to Europe or Asia? They are much much much more crowded, and they don’t have these tendencies in violence towards one self or to others to the degree we have. They have their own problems, specially in Asia. Live can be very hard there. Americans just don’t know how good they have it.

The overcrowding research you reference relates specifically to how many people are in a limited number of square miles.

There are no doubt parts of every city that are overcrowded in every State and this can affect humans' psychological sense of well being and behavior for the worse.

But, the country is hardly overcrowded.
Indeed, like Mississippi, many States do not enough population to attract businesses and industries that add to prosperity. Indeed, Alaska is so underpopulated, it has the highest numbers of murder and suicide and domestic violence...those people are TOO isolated.

With too little space or too much , the odds are greater than individuals will be isolated from others. And, though we don't like to admit it, we are "pack animals". And, tribal behavior is a form of primitive , animalist behavior in our species.

This is what happens when you have a bipartisan ruling class (ironically supported by the author) which does not care for the people over whom they rule.

This is what happens when our ruling class ships domestic jobs overseas while simultaneously flooding the nation with cheap foreign labor.

I can't manage to find fault with anything Mr. Crawford said or referenced.

Notwithstanding the nonsense of an 'over-crowded' country, I still firmly believe the only way to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun. Lifting up in prayer the families of dead people doesn't seem to be working. Strict gun laws seem to have the opposite effect and the ignorant among us still pretend to believe the problem is gun-shows, pick-up trucks and clip-capacity.

We can babble from now on about Reagan slashing mental health funding and Red-Flags and gun-purchase age and waiting periods and the irrelevant NRA and still we are faced with the reality that, under present law, we have zero way to seize crazy people and get them off the streets and out of schools. Whether that's due to Republicans or Democrats or both, is up for debate, but it's a meaningless debate.

This is all God’s will. America today operates in the service of Satan. Our “leaders” are still laundering money through Ukraine to enrich themselves while offering our children to their pagan gods of sexual perversions. Americans are either too stupid or too brainwashed to contemplate what is going on.

Imagine if Russia built a bioweapons lab in a Mexican border state. Also imagine if Vladimir Putin’s kid was appointed as a highly paid consultant of a Mexican state energy company. That’s literally what we did in Donbas, Ukraine.

America was founded on a distrust of government, precautions to prevent tyranny, individual rights tempered by responsibility and beaucoup opportunities to advance oneself.

The most crowded/perverse, dangerous places are democrat cities who, like rats, go berserk and feed on themselves.

Let's save Jackson from those mad, marxist berserkers: hire Aaron Banks for mayor!

I stand with @7:00 PM.

Not sure what Aaron Banks could do for Jackson. If that were the solution we could just put a San Francisco 49ers uniform on Kenny Stokes and pretend he's a pulling-guard.

George Flaggs is actually what is needed to save Jackson.

There is no question that domestic terrorism is out of control. However, those engaged in domestic terrorism, especially racially motivated acts beginning with Dylan Roof are not lone wolves. They see themselves as part of a movement. The assault on the capital clearly demonstrates domestic terrorism is not the act of lone wolves. The far right internet sites, and the wealthy right-wing nuts who own and/or control the right wing media serve as organizational points for our domestic terrorists.

Arming teaches is an insane idea. Almost 2 dozen armed police were afraid to confront a terroist with an AR-15. We want a 22 year-old women with a pistol to take command of such a situation? Either the police in charge should be charged with involuntary manslaughter, or we need to make radical changes in the dealing with actions that organize domestic terroists and create rational laws relative to purchasing assault weapons/ I vote for the second option.

Terrorism is a tactic. Terrorism is the deliberate creation of fear, usually through the use (or threat of use) of symbolic acts of violence, to influence the political behavior of a target audience. The so-called mass shooting incidents in Tulsa, Uvalde, and Buffalo were not terrorism incidents, just criminal incidents where multiple persons were murdered. The shooters were not terrorists, but rather murderers.

@ 10:19. We want a 22 year-old women with a pistol to take command of such a situation? Yes, we do. You don't think a woman with a pistol can take out a shooter armed with a semi-automatic rifle? Consider:

"A woman lawfully carrying a pistol shot and killed a man who opened fire on a party with an AR-15-style gun, police say," May 28, 2022, Insider (from article: "A West Virginia woman pulled her pistol on a man who opened fire at a birthday party with an AR-15-style firearm, police said. The woman shot and killed the man. No other injuries were reported, Charleston police said. The man was reportedly mad after he was asked not to speed by the parties, police said.")

Notice the date -- one day after Uvalde. I bet you didn't see the story in the news. I wonder why>
