If it's legalized, we'd practically wipe out things like meth and fentanyl...Legalization leads to less potent and dangerous substances being made...Best example is liquor stores, which sell far more beer and wine than hard liquor, and almost no PGA.If they are meth heads and opioid users, fuck 'em.
That's my sentiment. Legalize the shit and give them all they want. Then dump 'em in a pit, sprinkle 'em with some quicklime, and cover 'em up with a D9.
Problem solved!
How do their crime stats stack up against black neighborhoods? Are there tons of drive bys, carjackings, rapes and murders?The loss of jobs and the opioid epidemic are two of the biggest reasons.

When you think about crime, what do you picture? Probably the dark and scary streets of a crowded city. After all, cop shows always seem to be set in big cities.
But while violent crime is still a problem in urban areas, many of them are in fact safer now than they’ve been in decades. The violent crime rate in rural areas, meanwhile, has climbed above the national average for the first time in 10 years.
In Iowa, the overall violent crime rate rose by 3 percent between 2006 and 2016, but shot up by 50 percent in communities with fewer than 10,000 residents. Violent crime rates have doubled in rural counties in West Virginia over the past couple of decades, while tripling in New Hampshire. “Rural areas, which traditionally have had lower crime rates, have seen dramatic increases in incarceration rates,” says Jacob Kang-Brown, a senior research associate with the Vera Institute of Justice. “We see them now having the highest incarceration rates in the country.”
The explanations for this change are familiar ones. Not all rural areas are poor, but many have lost jobs as factories have closed and farming has become increasingly consolidated. Lack of employment has naturally led to increases in poverty, which is closely associated with crime. The opioid epidemic has hit rural America particularly hard, and methamphetamine remains a major problem in many small towns.

So...you first say the sheriffs are locking up the drug-peddlers and then you say you don't see it?Where's this "lack of jobs", Chicken Little? I live in a rural area right across the river from Iowa, and things are booming both here and there. The County Sheriffs are doing a good job of locking up the drug-peddlers too.
Totally not seeing it.
Please stop it. There is no frenzy. Just not wanting more and more dollars stolen from my wallet. That gay Pulse Club tragedy was not done by some red neck It was done by an Islamic ally of yours. In Paris, instead of showing the red, white and blue lights on the Eiffel Tower, they showed rainbow colored lights for the tragedy. The same Eiffel Tower where the French have build a fence to protect it from the Islamic immigrants that moved there. You know that I know that you know that when of those crazies detonates a radiation bomb in one of your blue areas we will laugh. And the tragedy is that you do not know what the real world is.Wow, a really good example of the ignorance I was pointing out.The rise of the extremist feminists and extremist gay agendas have priority.

The Republican Party has given them a very hard letdown indeed.
Every time there is another Carrier or Apple it's a punch to the gut for Trump's followers.
And they aren't even being prepared for anything.
No job training.
No affordable education.
And already millions have lost their healthcare.
And they know, even if they don't want to believe it, is that what Trump has done and is still going to do, is going to be worse than what Bush and the GOP did.

I love how you blame everyone but the people who caused the problem.
The poverty and the unemployment are the direct result of greedy American corporations seeking to maximize profits by sending their manufacturing in Third World Countries, and by a federal government in the USA which gave tax breaks to these corporations for doing so.
It's not China or Mexico who are to blame, but American corporations for offshoring, and American Republicans for rewarding them for doing so.
