Rural Whites turn to Violent Crime in Droves Amid Drug Addiction and Mass Unemployment

Racist OP....Racist thread.

The loss of jobs and the opioid epidemic are two of the biggest reasons.

Cooking up meth in rural areas doesn't draw the attention that it does in cities.

Absolutely! Sure can't do that in the Walmart parking lot

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.

Yes I have seen enough to know whites couldn’t take half the shit blacks been through.

Hell white conservatives want to start a civil war now. And they snap and shoot up places over nonsense.

Think how crazy they’d get if they were treated like second class citizens.

Imagine if police brutalized them. They’d be talking about the 2nd amendment. In other words they’d shoot law enforcement.

Racist post...^^^^^^

Not at all. Just an observation. Think about how cops treat blacks differently. Us whites are always saying if the government or law infringed on our rights we’d come up with a second amendment solution.

But when blacks snap because of police brutality you cry foul.

Why? Because you lack empathy.

But we all know most of you wouldn’t do anything other than take it.

You claim skin color is the reason why some people act some way......That’s racist.

Cooking up meth in rural areas doesn't draw the attention that it does in cities.

This is definitely true. Grew up in rural Plains states, and watched the meth business get its start. People with farmstead or a trailer in the country, with no neighbor for a couple of miles made it receptive to cooking meth. Even the mobile labs people run out of their trunks were at home here for the same reason. You can park on a dirt or gravel road at night and not see another car for hours, and if one comes, you can see it coming for miles. Plus, a key ingredient for meth is anhydrous, which is used on farms. Every farm used to have giant tanks of anhydrous. Meth heads would come out to the farms in the middle of the night with a tank from their gas grill and steal a few pounds. Now, they are kept under lock and key (I believe by state law).

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!

I am all for legalizing some drugs, but meth? Absolutely not. Those fuckers are not just taking themselves out. They take a lot of people with them.

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.

Much more liquor is consumed in the U.S. than wine, and the gap between liquor and beer is much smaller than liquor and wine.

I thought the depiction of apes was a problem for you guys. It is all very confusing for us white people.

You’re depicting humans as monkeys like Democrats do.

and that's the crux of the drug issue , i'd be more than happy to let the herd cull itself , it they didn't push it on those around them

Same can be said for blacks.
