"Woman ‘stabs husband and four kids to death’ in Loganville, Atlanta

A US woman has reportedly been detained after her husband and four young children were found stabbed to death in their home in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a neighbour of the family says the woman was depressed about the death of her father and that churchgoers prayed for the woman at mass on Sunday."

So, will Emperor Julian,

a) become hysterical, instantly hate all mothers, sledging them as 'squatters at home' or suchlike and call for all kitchen knives to be banned as part of 'Knife control'; or,

b) see his GP?

Not often do I agree with leoj, but this statement is perfectly true.

<<Amelioration lies in real, practical improvements to the socio-economic conditions for blacks, with education, employment, recreation for youth and so on. It will be a slow grind and unfortunately governments and the political parties competing for that role, do not always think that way. Practical improvements mean some set-backs, a lot of planning and public contact and a lot of coordination. Above all, elbow grease.>>

The problem there is, what Leo says smacks of progressive socialism, Leo you are not a progressive socialists are you. With the American free enterprise system, the citizens are free to succeed, but equally the citizens are also free to fail. On the one hand you have people with lots of money, materially well off, and no one can deny America does not have many in that class, But on the down side they have lots of failures. This is manifested in a large prison population, violence in society, disadvantage of all kinds. It would take a cosmic shift politically, for America to embrace progressive socialism to have any meaningful impact on its deep seated social problems.

Julian,

Have you yet found a reference for your assertion that thee NRA (US) has funded any organization in Australia?

Hi Issy, I've got to give it to you. You keep firing away, even when you're out of ammunition!

I think its time you started your 199th thread on something to do with guns. You have been well and truly shot down in the other 198 attempts, including this one, always off target.

p/s If I was you, I would sack the Leo bloke as my backup, seems to be suffering from 'Sensory Processing Disorder', Get a trained monkey on the keyboard, you would do better.

Paul1405,

You may be perilously close to discovering a possible motivation for currency trading billionaire Soros' and his wealthy mates' interest in diverting attention of the chattering classes onto his invention of 'gun control' as THE reason for the violence affecting 'Negro-Americans'. I use inverted commas in this case because the intentional wedge politics of such new terms and the inevitable deliberate disempowering is abhorrent too.

While I would disagree that 'progressive socialism' is any solution for lower socio-economic blacks (the attempts at social re-engineeering could be contributing to problems) and the difference between blacks who are thriving and those who are not is not explained by 'progressive socialism'. Nonetheless, there are social and of course political effects from the concentration of wealth in the hands of some who are anything but disposed to allow improvements and are hell-bent on hiding, justifying, protecting and extending their obscene wealth.

Soros is one such, and his conviction in France for currency trading, his avoidance of US taxes and his very murky and of course highly secretive interferences in the domestic affairs of western democracies are not easily explained. Or applying Occam's Razor, is there a simple personal interest ie making more money through social troublemaking?

It is hard to see any blue sky between between the far left and far right where a consuming interest in totalitarianism, media manipulation (propaganda) and censorship are concerned. But both appear to be acting in concert in pulling the tarpaulin over the real, already established, contributors to black criminal gang membership, drug use and violence (gun violence is merely a sub-set) in the US.

I suggest that the NSW Greens faction you are apparently astroturfing for (with or without their knowledge) realise that its interest in Soros' 'gun control' scam and the comparisons with the US, are just for headlines. How convenient is it to have all of that twisted propaganda from Soros' 'Open society' (another misleading descriptor if there ever was one!), huh? Soros and the Marxists have a lot in common where political (mis-)use of language is concerned.

contd.

What is needed in Australia is evidence-based regulations which focus on the only strong and robust control, the licence, that ordinarily would, were it not for the bureaucratic paper-chase of 'Howard's farcical 'gun control' enable police to focus on collaring offenders and not being required to wasted their time looking over the shoulders of the already checked and certified law-abiding, licensed citizens.
