American Exceptionalism: Walmart Admits its Business Operation Tied to Continued Growth of SNAP/EBT Entitlements

Crony capitalism. 

Some call it that. 

In reality, it's just the rope being sold that will one day be used for their own hanging. 

Such is life though. 

Cuts to the EBT/Food Stamp (SNAP ) program could have disastrous effects on Walmart's bottom line, the company admitted in the company's annual report on risks to future profitability. 

The Day the EBT Card Stops is the moment the entire world gets to see former Japanese Prime Minister's Yasuhiro Nakasone 1980s comment on why the level of American society was "very low" (hint:  a growing population of unassimilable non-whites, not to mention a culturally hostile black population) spring to spontaneous life. 

There is no reforming this system. Glenn Beck could cry buckets of tears so the waters of liberty could flow again, but they'd quickly evaporate revealing the same carcass of a nation. 

And you'd be left with this. [For The First Time Walmart Annual Report Cites Changes To Food Stamps ‘And Other Public Assistance Plans’ As A Risk Factor, International Business Times, 3-24-14]:

Nestled in the latest annual report from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is a line that underscores just how much the world’s largest general merchandise retailer and its shareholders have depended on public assistance programs in recent years. 

The Bentonville, Ark., company’s report for its fiscal year ended Jan. 31 includes the cautionary statement that’s required under securities regulations from all publicly listed companies. The purpose is to inform the public of factors that could harm future profitability. Such statements are routine and tend to list just about any potential risk factor. In Walmart’s case, the sentence disclosing risk factors is a staggering 668-words long and includes dozens of risks, including natural disaster, civil unrest, changes to income and corporate tax rates and ongoing investigations against the company. 

A couple of items stand as newcomers to Walmart’s menu of risks. Here’s what the annual report released on Friday says: 

“Our business operations are subject to numerous risks, factors and uncertainties, domestically and internationally, which are outside our control ... These factors include ... changes in the amount of payments made under the Supplement[al] Nutrition Assistance Plan and other public assistance plans, changes in the eligibility requirements of public assistance plans, ..." 

In other words, Walmart for the first time in its annual reports acknowledges that taxpayer-funded social assistance programs are a significant factor in its revenue and profits. This makes sense, considering that Walmart caters to low-income consumers. But what’s news here is that the company now considers the level of social entitlements given to low-income working and unemployed Americans important enough to underscore it in its cautionary statement.

Remember some key data points. [Food Stamp Use Soars, and Stigma Fades, New York Times, 9-28-2009]:

Now nearly 12 percent of Americans receive aid — 28 percent of blacks, 15 percent of Latinos and 8 percent of whites. Benefits average about $130 a month for each person in the household, but vary with shelter and child care costs.

Oh, and this. From the 2010 US Census, we learn from Table 543. Persons Living in Households Receiving Selected Noncash Benefit that:

•  20.5 percent of whites, 27.9 percent of Asians, 50.9 percent of blacks, and 53.3 percent of Hispanics (Latinos) received means-tested assistance (this includes means-tested cash assistance, food stamps, Medicaid, and public or authorized housing).
• From that same dataset, we learn that 6.9 percent of whites, 18.8 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 5.7 percent of Asians, and 25.1 percent of blacks live in a household that receives food stamps/EBT/SNAP. 
• Crunching the numbers just a tad farther, we learn that 16.7 percent of whites, 43.8 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 23.2 percent of Asians, and 39.4 percent of blacks live in a household in which on or more persons are covered by Medicaid. 
• How about public housing? 1.9 percent of whites, 4.7 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 2.5 percent of Asians, and 11.5 percent of blacks live in public or authorized housing. 
• And, 4.4 percent of whites, 8.7 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 5.6 percent of Asians, and 13.6 percent of blacks live in a household that receives means-tested cash assistance. 

 The Day the EBT Card Runs Out is the moment the American experiment officially ends, erupting into an unstable mess no high science lab experiment could replicate in its unpredictability or volatility. 

What Walmart has just admitted in this risk assessment is so-called 'crony capitalism' is nothing more than a ruse to momentarily enrich large stock holders at the expense of those Middle American Serfs who pay the taxes supporting the whole EBT/Food Stamp entitlement scheme/transfer-of-wealth. 

Oh, there is no reforming this system. It will come crashing down amid the joyous rush to erect a post-white utopia, where EBT card-enriched consumers can frolic in the spacious aisles of Walmart. 

Nothing lasts forever. 

Not even this EBT/Food Stamp nirvana we call the United States of America. 

Walmart's risk evaluators know this, though the implications of their own data won't dawn on them the true unsustainable nature of contemporary America and its trajectory into entering an era when whites are no longer the majority racial group. 

Life During Wartime: The Conditions of 83 percent black Baltimore City Public Schools... America's Most Dangerous School System

Eric "My People" Holder won't like this.

Not one bit.

Neither will Arne Duncan or Barack Obama.

Ever wonder why white people fled a school system like Baltimore City Public Schools?

An everyday reality when employed as a teacher in the 83 percent black Baltimore City Public School systems; and as the Baltimore Sun noted, a profound cost Baltimore's risk management office must factor into its yearly budget...

A school system completely run by blacks since the early-1980s (as you'll see soon, black political elites 'jealously' guard this control because it ensures the money flows into their pockets...).

Violence.


Black violence.

There is no school to prison pipeline;  just black individuals being punished for breaking rules protecting both their classmates and ensuring the safety of their teachers at a collective rate far, far beyond that of all other racial groups.

It's funny: Baltimore City Public Schools enrollment in 1923 was 83 percent white; 10 years later it was 77 percent white; it dropped to 71 percent white in 1943 and 62 percent white in 1953; by 1963, it was 43 percent white and by 1973 it was only 30 percent white. [Brown in Baltimore: School Desegregation and the Limits of Liberalism, Howell S. Baum, p. 225]

Today, Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS) is 83 percent black and eight percent white; 84.5 percent come from low income families (based on eligibility for Free or Reduced-Price Meals).

Most importantly, the BCPS system is one of the most violent in all of America.[Student on teacher assaults on rise, ABC 2, 2-26-2013]:

BALTIMORE - We first showed you the most recent video in November; students at Digital Harbor High School in Federal Hill taunting, bullying, assaulting a substitute teacher at the front of the classroom.

Taken with a student's cell phone, the video pulls back the curtain on a bigger issue many simply don't want or won't talk about.

"It's just a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety.  Literally, I have to force myself out the door."

Baltimore city school teacher Jeffrey Slattery wants to talk about it because he still literally feels it.

It was December 2010 at Baltimore Community High School on the east side when he stopped a student without a hall pass.

The student got physical and Slattery let him go.

"He walked down the hallway, I turned around and went back to my classroom and he came up from behind me and once I was on the ground, he's basically standing on top of me.  He struck me multiple times.  When my jaw broke, I went unconscious and I don't remember anything after that."

The Social Studies teacher would later learn it took four other teachers to pull the student off him.

Slattery broke his jaw, it was wired shut for weeks.

He pressed charges and the student was convicted.

Slattery's assault by a student was just one of seven hundred that school year in Baltimore City Public Schools where its own data shows an average of four school personnel were assaulted each day in 2010.

ABC2 Investigators found that average holds true through the past five school years with a total of nearly four thousand assaults by students on personnel, with noticeable increases in the last two years.

Broken down by grade level, it is evident seventh, eighth and ninth graders commit the assaults more often.

[Do those numbers shock you?]  "No," responded the President of the Baltimore Teachers Union, "In fact, I am very surprised they are that low."

Marietta English says it was after an attack on city art teacher Jolita Berry in 2008 when assaults by students raced to the top of mind for most educators.

The story went national, fueled by the video posted to myspace back then.

Berry's story was the impetus for the union to start keeping its own records by imploring teachers to fill out a form reporting abuse; documentation to lobby for more support to stem this violent tide.

"They should not come to work fearing they will be attacked.  They should not come to work fearing they are going to be verbally abused.  This is not what we should be coming to work and face on a daily basis.  [ The reality of it is they do though?]  That's the reality of it, unfortunately yes," responded English.

 Just how violent is the 83 percent black school system (remember, it's been 70 percent black or more since 1973... that's forty-one years)? Just ask Baltimore's risk management office, which tracks assaults and attacks on the teachers in the 83 percent black school system. [Painful Lessons: Run-ins with students take toll on teachers, city finances, Baltimore Sun, 2-16-14]:

Jennifer Jones’ school day started with her standing in front of her class of third-graders at Harford Heights Elementary, and it ended with her flat on her back in the East Baltimore school’s hallway.

She lay there surrounded by colleagues and students at dismissal time, injured by a boy who grabbed her leg and pulled it out from under her. His resolute stare, she says, was as frightening as the assault on that day in January 2013.

Soon she was on a stretcher, headed to Johns Hopkins Hospital, hoping she would not be paralyzed.

Jones is one of hundreds of city educators whose violent and traumatic encounters with students have led them to seek — and often receive — compensation for mental and physical injuries, a Baltimore Sun investigation of workers’ compensation claims has found. Those claims provide a behind-the-scenes look at violence that is rarely documented in school system reports.

School employees report more injuries than those in any city agency except the Police Department. In the last fiscal year, more than 300 claims were related to assaults or run-ins with students — more than a third of the school system’s total claims.

And such claims are costly. School employees account for an estimated total of $4.6 million in medical bills and other costs related to workers’ compensation claims in that year, according to records obtained by The Sun in a Maryland Public Information Act request.

For officials in city government, the school system’s claims signal a troubling pattern of teachers being attacked or serving as buffers in fights.

For teachers like Jones — whose workers’ compensation payout will total an estimated $20,000 — the claims reflect a part of the job that leaves them feeling less like educators and more like punching bags.

“Every day it hurts like hell, and my life is forever changed,” said Jones, 31, who remains out of work and is fighting to obtain other benefits. “I can’t walk my dogs. I can’t do laundry. You eventually start to give up on the dishes. Every time I think about it now, I think the same thing when I was laying on the floor: Why?”

The school-related payments are a significant part of a large and growing expense for taxpayers, who foot the bill for workers’ compensation payments for medical bills, lost wages and permanent disabilities that can stretch for years.

In the last school year, the district logged 873 suspensions for physical attacks on staff — nearly triple the number of workers’ compensation claims labeled altercations and assaults.

“We know that’s not what teachers signed up for,” Edwards said. “They want to go into a school where they can be in a healthy, respectful environment, and we have an obligation to help them create that environment in our schools.”

‘Epidemic-like’ fighting

City government officials say that as they look for ways to trim workers’ compensation costs, they have urged the school system to help reduce expensive injuries — which usually result from educators breaking up fights, confronting disruptive students or being attacked.

Of the system’s anticipated $4.6 million bill for the last fiscal year, the city has paid out about $2 million so far for injuries that range from assaults to accidental falls. The largest single category: assaults and altercations. The city anticipates paying $1.4 million for claims in that category; it has already paid out about $615,000, records show.

Of the school district’s 866 workers’ compensation claims in the last fiscal year, 293 were labeled assaults or altercations, and eight were referred for criminal charges.

The highest award for a teacher injured in school was an estimated $192,793 for a man who reported that he fractured a leg while breaking up a fight between students; $44,822 of that claim has been paid, city records show.

About 45 more claims related to fights or interactions with students were listed in other categories; the city estimates that those claims will cost more than $270,000.

For instance, a fall that cost about $1,500 was summarized this way by a claimant: “Two students were fighting and they fell on teacher, and all fell on top of an overhead projector injuring [teacher’s] neck, shoulder, and upper back.” In an “overexertion” claim, for which the city has paid roughly $21,000 of an estimated $33,000, a teacher injured her knee breaking up two fighting students.

And such incidents can leave other scars. One teacher filed a claim for psychological stress after witnessing a student assault another; the city has paid $2,300 of an estimated $9,050 for it.

 Do you get why white parents don't want to send their children into these glorified daycare centers (the BCPS system); where a student population almost entirely dependent on the state for their existence has declared war on the teachers merely trying to occupy their time for a seven hours? [Baltimore Schools Among Most Dangerous In U.S., CBS Baltimore, 7-21-2011]

In many cases, the public schools in Baltimore are little more than prisons, with students forced to walk through metal detectors (some might be handheld by police officers), drug sniffing dogs, and full-time police presence [Minority pupils more likely to face metal detectors, Education Week, 8-29-2011]

Ask Baltimore city school teacher Jeffrey Slattery why all that might be necessary. He can talk now. His jaw is no longer wired shut.

Madison, Wisconsin's "Behavioral Education Plan": Aryan A**es Excusing Away Black Dysfunction in Public Schools

The "Behavioral Education Plan."

Needed because black people don't behave in the public schools of America (or, for that matter, in the pre-K classrooms).

The future's so bright... when racial differences exist in behavioral patterns for Pre-K students, it's time to rethink that whole "race is social construct" mantra; equality is the social construct, with the loaded gun of the state pointed at anyone who disagrees

George Orwell meets Aldous Huxley meets a city where the Newark World Order (NWO) is willingly being implemented.

[Redefining discipline in Madison schools, The Cap Times (Madison), 3-19-14]:

Discipline in Madison's public schools is harsh for African-American kids, many of their parents say. They insist the system targets black children, setting them up to be exiled from class, written up, suspended, even expelled. Schools push out the very students who are falling behind their white classmates, according to test scores and graduation rates.

And the unequal treatment starts in the early grades when their children are very young, African-American parents say.

"They start with your child when they first get them, to take away whatever self-pride they walk into that school system with," says one African-American mother, leafing through pages of behavior reports on her son. "You have a child who will grab their book bag, grab their sister's book bag, want to go start the car they are so ready and eager to go to school. But when they get there, things start happening."

The mother, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of her child, says the behavior reports started when her high school-age son was in elementary school. The reports cite repeated incidents that she says are attempts by a child with special needs to cope. They include incidents labeled "repeated physical aggression" that she reads as horseplay among kids rather than an attack by one child on another.

"They are seeing my child all day. They are affecting my child," she says. "They are the ones who can boost them, or bring them down."

Jennifer Cheatham, superintendent of the Madison Metropolitan School District, says she has heard similar accounts from African-American parents who believe their kids have been unfairly marked as trouble makers.

"I can't tell you how many African-American parents I've talked with who have told me those stories," Cheatham says. "I've heard enough of them to believe there is real truth there. I think the work we're doing really is about addressing head-on our racial bias and the assumptions we may make of students who are in the classroom."

Madison schools impose thousands of out-of-school suspensions each school year, resulting in thousands of days of instruction lost. In the 2012-2013 school year, for example, there were 3,863 out-of-school suspensions, resulting in 6,075 lost days of instruction.

Students of color, disabled students and students living in poverty are suspended from school at much higher rates than others. For example, 20 percent of African-American students and 11 percent of multi-racial students received at least one out-of-school suspension last year, compared to 5 percent of Hispanic students and 3 percent of white students.

Among special education students, 19 percent were suspended at least once last year, compared to 4 percent of students who are not in special education programs. And 12 percent of low-income students were suspended at least once, compared to 2 percent of students not from low-income families.

Among 112 students expelled in the last four school years, 62 percent were African-American, 19 percent were white and 12 percent were Hispanic.

Cheatham and other school officials are convinced that the current code's deficiencies lead to disparities in rates of suspension and expulsion.

"Our current code is based on a zero tolerance approach to some behaviors that doesn't give students the opportunity to learn from their misbehavior," Cheatham says. "And it doesn't provide sufficient opportunity for adults to understand where the behavior is coming from and respond to it in a supportive way to help the child address the underlying issues."

The proposed new code of conduct – renamed the Behavioral Education Plan – reduces the violations that can result in suspension and expulsion. School officials calculate that if the proposed code had been in effect last school year, nearly one-third of out-of-school suspensions would not have occurred and lost days of instruction would have been reduced by nearly 20 percent. The percentage share of high school suspension for African-American students would have dropped from 64 percent to, at most, 60 percent, they say.

The Madison district is undertaking its revision of discipline policy as school systems across the country are jettisoning get-tough approaches that push students out of school in favor of models that keep kids in the classroom and work to help them change their behavior. Responding to research reporting that disparately high suspension and expulsion rates among African-American students feed the school-to-prison pipeline, large school districts are pulling back from "zero tolerance" in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Baltimore and Broward County, Fla., where more than 1,000 students were arrested in 2011.

A landmark study that year in Texas analyzed millions of school discipline and juvenile justice records, finding that African-American students and those with learning disabilities were disproportionately removed from the classroom for disciplinary reasons. The study also tracked links between suspension and expulsion and dropping out of school and entering the juvenile justice system.

John Bauman, Dane County Juvenile Court administrator, says he too often encounters young people entering the juvenile justice system when a confrontation at school spins out of control.

"A kid is noncompliant for whatever reason – a bad day, mental health issues, feeling he's not being listened to," Bauman says. "He's sent out of class to the office, but continues to be unruly – loud and boisterous – and security staff or the school police officer gets involved. The kid resists, fights back, knocks something over, and you've got a disorderly conduct or a criminal battery charge."

"I've seen it so many times – kids not being able to stop," he says. "I'd like to think if there were adults with good connections to the kids, they might be able to reach them and stop the escalating behavior."

Once they are involved, police officers often feel they don't have any option but to bring a student who is out of control to the juvenile court system, Bauman says. And even if the child is not placed in taken into custody, the incident begins the process of establishing a record, Bauman says.

Having a "record" in the juvenile justice system – or at school – sets up a kid for more scrutiny and unfair punishment, says a 19-year-old man now finishing his high school education in an alternative program after dropping out of Madison schools following multiple suspensions and a near expulsion after almost fistfighting with a staff member.

"Because I had a history, every time something went wrong, they were looking for me," the young man says. "I'd be in a group, maybe the only black person, and the first person they come to when something happens is me," he says. "Other people could say 'he didn't do it' – they'd still blame me."

"African-American kids don't come to school, because they treat us different," he says.

And he says many white teachers are afraid of African-American students.

We live in a country where we are being conditioned to never notice black people, unless it's in an unapologetially positive fashion.

Even in a city (75 percent white Madison, Wisconsin) where white privilege is taught to represent the ultimate sin, the true privilege is blacks ability to claim racism whenever unpleasant metrics arise showcasing their collectively inadequacies. 

That black individuals act up and disrupt classrooms, well, that could be bad; but when aggregated together, obviously there is a nationwide conspiracy at work to ensure the school to prison pipeline remains unmolested.

Here's a simple solution to fix the problem: no longer discipline blacks; no longer arrest blacks; no longer punish blacks; and no longer hold blacks accountable to any standards governing proper behavior. 

Wouldn't that be a true "Behavioral Education Plan?"

If you are white and if you have kids (grand kids, nieces, nephews, etc. ) get them the hell out of public school.

An EMP Didn't hit Detroit, Black Power Did: Mass water shutoffs over $260 million in delinquent bills in 83 percent black city

You ever play Monopoly? 

It's a fun way to pass the time, becoming either a real estate maven or floundering in the mediocrity of going directly to jail and not collecting $200 along the way. 

No, water is not a human right. Neither is living in a safe city. It takes sacrifice and hard work. 

It's a well-known fact the worst property to own is the anemic Baltic and Mediterranean Avenues;  even when owning both properties and building hotels on each, if your opponent lands on either space the damage to their pocketbook isn't significant. 

Conversely, if you landed on either Park Place or Boardwalk and your opponent had built up hotels on those properties, the game would conceivably be over. 

You'd lose. 

Cities in 2014 America are a lot like the various properties one can purchase in Monopoly, though reasons for one flourishing and another floundering must comply with the strict code set forth by the tenets of Black-Run America (BRA). 

Though civic virtue is found conspicuously absent in 83 percent black Detroit, the proliferation of black pride never abates. 

Ever. 

Even as the civilization blacks inherited from white flight literally recedes crumbles before our eyes, the attachment to peculiar racial chauvinism on the part of the majority population never subsides. 

It's the equivalent of being proud to own only Baltic Avenue in the game of Monopoly and one of your opponents owning Mediterranean; sure, you'll never be able to have a monopoly, build houses and eventually a hotel, but by god this real estate is ours!

Blacks collectively turned valuable real estate (Detroit) into nothing more than Baltic Avenue. In some cases, a Monopoly board is more valuable than a house in 83 percent black Detroit

Which bring us to news out of 83 percent black Detroit that should be cause for immediate laughter from those paying attention to the racial nightmare unfolding in the former Paris of the West. [Detroit plans mass water shutoffs over $260M in delinquent bills, Detroit News, 3-21-2014]:

The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has a message for Detroit residents and companies more than 60 days late on their water bills: We’re coming for you.With more than half of the city’s customers behind on payments, the department is gearing up for an aggressive campaign to shut off service to 1,500-3,000 delinquent accounts weekly, said Darryl Latimer, the department’s deputy director. 

Including businesses, schools and commercial buildings, there are 323,900 Detroit water and sewerage accounts; 164,938 were overdue for a total of $175 million as of March 6. Residential accounts total 296,115; 154,229 were delinquent for a total of $91.7 million. 

The department halts cutoffs through the winter because of complications associated with freezing temperatures, such as damaged pipes. But this spring, a new contractor has been hired to target those who are more than two months behind or who owe more than $150 — twice the average monthly bill of $75. 

The department says it’s now ready to “catch up” with cutoffs halted because of the unusually harsh winter weather. DWSD is looking to show there are consequences associated with not paying water bills, Latimer said. 

“Not everyone is in the situation where they can’t afford to pay,” he said. “It’s just that the utility bill is the last bill people choose to pay because there isn’t any threat of being out of service.” 

People pay up more when they see the department out cutting off water to neighbors, and the statistics bear that out, officials said. In July, for example, before contractors started on the shutoffs, the department cut off 1,566 customers. That month, it collected $149,000 in water bills. 

Extra contractors started working on cutoffs last summer. Attheir peak in October — before cold weather caused a halt to the disconnects — 3,700 cutoffs occurred. 

The department collected more than $350,000 in overdue bills that month. That number of cutoffs translated to more than double for warm weather months compared to last year. 

“We’re trying to shift the behavioral payment patterns of our customer base right now,” said Constance Williams-Levye, DWSD commercial operations specialist. “And so aggressively we’ll have a team of contractors coming in, in addition to our field teams.” 

Up to 20 additional contractor crews are expected to be employed working on the cutoffs, DWSD officials said.

Who would have thought black delinquency in paying water bills would be a way to stimulate the economy of Detroit and hire new employees as a means of collecting unpaid (let's be honest, these people will never, ever pay) bills?


Social capital, civic virtue, and duty to ones community take a back seat to black pride in 83 percent Detroit, where a near homogeneous population has created the real-life equivalent of Monopoly's Baltic Avenue. 

Let's not forget this city, renowned for exclusively black-in-origin (what some call 'black-on-black') violence, recently saw its incompetent black police chief give members of Conservatism Inc. instant erections by endorsing a "shoot first, ask questions" mentality toward home invaders. 

That no one dared ask why such crimes are tolerated, and how the fear of a black home invasion drove away productive white citizens (who pay their water bills!) is a sign all of America will one day be nothing more than Monopoly's Baltic Avenue. [Police chief encourages armed homeowners to fight back: 'You’re not going to have time to dial 911', Yahoo.com, 3-11-14]:

In Detroit, Michigan several incidences of armed homeowner involved shootings have been reported in recent weeks. According to WDIV Local 4, at least four cases have occurred where homeowners using guns to defend themselves, shot, and twice killed intruders or carjackers.  

Detroit Police Chief James Craig told WDIV, “Lot of good Detroiters are fed up.” According to Deadline Detroit and The Detroit News , in an unusual declaration for a big city police chief, in January Craig stated that he thinks that if more Detroiters were legally armed, it would deter criminals. With the latest string of shootings, Craig talked to the station and reiterated his stance. “The message should be that, you know, people are going to protect themselves. They’re tired, they’ve been dealing with this epidemic of violence, they’re afraid and they have a right to protect themselves.” 

 Reports indicate that Chief Craig’s position on the issue of an armed citizenry changed after he served as the police chief of Portland, Maine in 2009. Craig served with the Los Angeles Police Department for 28 years where he said, “…it takes an act of Congress to get a concealed weapon permit.” Once in Portland, Craig found himself denying a “stack” of Carrying Concealed Weapon (CCW) permits in a state where many CCWs are handed out. But he says, “I changed my orientation real quick. Maine is one of the safest places in America. Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed.” 

Chief Craig told WDIV, “If you are confronted with an immediate threat to your safety, you’re not going to have time to dial 911, you know. I mean, so it becomes an issue of, the threat’s here, I have to respond to the threat.” Though he does make it known that the threat needs to be coming at a homeowner and armed citizens cannot chase a suspect down with a gun. In those cases, 911 needs to be called upon.  

Maine is safe because there are few, if any, blacks. Regardless of the amount of guns, it's the lack of blacks that makes Portland, Maine safe.

Detroit is unsafe because there are few, if any, whites. Regardless of the amount of guns, it's the plethora of blacks that makes Detroit unsafe.

In an 83 percent black city, where the 911 response by the police to an emergency call is 58 minutes, you should realize Detroit represents that post-Apocalyptic society so many preppers/doomsday/rapture/end-of-the-world types hope and pray occurs. 


An Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) would eliminate technology and take us, momentarily, back to the stone age; but the emergence of a majority black city - even on the same real estate where whites had once cultivated a world class - is the equivalent of a demographic EMP no civilization can ever recover from. 

A refusal to pay something as simple as a water bill is testament to this fact.
