Didn’t the murder rate go up though?

I don't have the stats in front of me so I can't say yes or no...

Doesn't that typically happen in the summertime every year in alot of communities tho? So I'm not sure if that's some type of metric to bring into this. I stand to be corrected if wrong tho

Malcolm hated liberals. That IS a fact. He didn't like Cuntservatives, but Malcolm despised white liberals, becasue he knew they were mostly disingenuous snakes.

This is true. The white liberal was the fox who you wouldn’t realize was eating you until you were halfway eaten. The conservative was the wolf and the wolf is better because at least you know the wolf is your enemy and will be on alert and prepared to fight it. Plus, we are more apt to push for revolution when conservatives are in power because the enemy is clear.
