![]() Quote:
New Jersey’s distinction as the safest state in the U.S. in our rankings is in large part due to its runaway score in the law enforcement officers per capita category, which is over 100% greater than the national average. |

![]() New Jersey has the third lowest rate of gun death’s per 100,000 population. Your response to a massacre of children is to complain about the difficulties of obtaining a gun there. And then deciding to change the subject to policing.
Like I said. These incidents don’t change attitudes. They harden them. Gun culture is endemic. |

![]() Strange how conservatives are so passionate about life before it’s actually born and then have such a cavalier attitude about it after it’s born.
Rational people: “We’re the only nation in the world who has school shootings, something has to change.” Conservatives: “Don’t touch my guns. Everything is fine. Thoughts and prayers.” Rational people: “We in the midst of a pandemic. Please wear a mask to do your part.” Conservatives: “This is a plandemic. I have my rights. I’d rather roll the dice on peoples lives than be a tiny bit inconvenienced by wearing a piece of fabric on my face. Thoughts and prayers.” Did I miss anything? |

![]() I am hardly a conservative. While GOP is not the answer to all problems, we know Liberals are the cause of most situations. I voted for democrats my whole adult life. I voted for Clinton, Obama (twice), etc.
Masks are a complete lie. I speak with doc's everyday 85% of them laugh at the "science" There is none. It's about control. Fear is the coin of the realm for liberals. The left, the far left, is imploding. It eats its own, and nobody is safe. I have been raised in a family that has always supported a women's right to choose. Safe and rare, not as a means of birth control not past the first trimester save when the women's life is at risk. 4x African American abortions to white women aren't OK... And yes, you cant elect to take away any god-given rights and call it America. |

![]() 40% of the Uvalde's municipal budget and they did everything wrong. Their botching of the response 100% supports the defund concept.
Freddy is of course clueless about what defund the police really means. Essentially, it's the reapplication of monies currently used for militarization of forces towards education and social infrastructure that can reduce crime and confrontation potential differently. Here's a terrific Brookings piece that explains and debunks the common defund myths: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/how-w...lice-debunked/
