This is pretty much a straight-up White Power meme.

Setting aside the extremely half-assed sourcing, I'm pretty skeptical of the claim that 81% of murdered white people are killed by black people. Isn't it the case that violent crime has a strong tendency to stay within racial boundaries, because people generally kill people familiar to them, so it broadly follows racial stratification of American society.

This also avoids the obvious question: what percentage of each group are actually prosecuted for said murder, and what's the racial and economic (and professional) disparity in convictions for the same crime?

Holy poo poo, Trump *himself* tweeted that exact same graphic in 2015. Politifact did a takedown, and unsurprisingly it's massively wrong:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/23/donald-trump/trump-tweet-blacks-white-homicide-victims/


The chart isn't copy-pasting cleanly, but just to address one important number:

15% of whites that were murdered, were murdered by black people, not the 81% claimed. So by corollary, the whites-on-whites number is off the same amount. It's literally as though someone transposed those two lines out of (very charitably) utter incompetence, or was just happy to blatantly lie just to make a point.

Since white people and black people comprise the vast majority of people. This would mean that black people at a minimum commit 80+% of all murders.

Harvey church honors black man killed by police in Gretna 70 years ago

quote:

A woman had boarded the wrong bus and requested her fare of a nickel back. Bus driver Preston Herbert refused to refund her, but Brooks offered to ride on her fare and gave the woman his nickel. The exchange infuriated Herbert, who demanded Brooks exit the bus and had him arrested by Patrolman Alvin Bladsacker. While pulling Brooks off the bus, Bladsacker struck him with his gun. As Brooks was walking away, he fired two bullets, killing Brooks in front of several witnesses - including Brooks' son, who held his father as he took his last breaths.

Freep has been in absolute hysteria for weeks over that migrant convoy. I haven't really bothered with those threads because I can only take so many demands for Trump to Glass Mexico in retaliation. (Although there was one Freeper who kept wanting to strafe them with an A-10 that I thought was adorable. :allears:)

Caravan of migrants has reached the border, braces to cross despite Trump's warnings (HORRIBLE)

For example:

quote:

I can't believe this is not mentioned on here! We are being "attacked"

This is so sick. They are on top of the border wall. On the American side, there are a ton of supporters saying "Welcome" and other nonsense. This is a mess. They say 100 people and then 400 people. But it looks to me in the thousands. We should not accept even 1 person. This is a travesty. The wall is worthless.

Yes, it is all staged. It is a political stunt financed by who knows - the usual suspects I’m sure. You want this stunt to backfire? Infiltrate a couple of Al Queda types into the group and let them climb the fence, arrest them inside the US, then perp walk them in front the national media. Turn this story right on its head.

And the risk is not just small cells of terrorists - though we saw what just a couple of dozen could do on 9/11. But what is to stop the Chinese or “Russians”, for example, from assembling a 5th column of tens or hundreds of thousands of trained killers and saboteurs. Sneak them into the country over a couple of years and let them lay low until they reach sufficient numbers to execute their plan, then activate them to sabotage our infrastructure, soft targets, and make general mayhem inside the country?

The border absolutely must be protected and the people who don’t articulate this properly are fools.

As far as I can see, HIPAA only requires that a doctor provides valid copies of all suitable records (certain records are exempted eg if you go to a psychotherapist you don't get to have the doctor's notes he recorded during a session unless he seperately agrees to it) and is not permitted to withold them due to you not paying, and may not charge more for the records than "reasonable fees" to cover costs of copying and mailing.

HIPAA does not say you can raid a doctor's office and take the original records. There are procedures for how to acquire copies you need and have them forwarded to other doctors and entities as needed.

Zwabu
Aug 7, 2006

Yeah, by essentially robbing the office and not giving the office a chance to make copies to give them, they deprive the doctor of having his own records of his treatment of Trump. That is something Trump is not entitled to do.

It's pretty clear the purpose of the raid was probably NOT so Trump could have copies of the record, but to deprive the doctor of having them.

Okay, you get the point, but it's very significant that he says "last 100 years" because it was precisely in 1915 that during Burdick v. United States, the Supreme Court decided that a pardon required admission of guilt.

Seriously, if you just google it you get all kinds of clear explanations from legal sources about how pardons work, but many Freepers are happy to just stick their fingers in their ears and insist that Daddy Trump made it all better.
