    Yes, we do, since it seems like White Supremacy violence has been on the rise since Trump took office, like what happened to Nia Wilson, as mentioned in this thread already. Not sure why anyone would think diversity is a bad word, the opposite of diversity is homogeneity...and with how diverse America is I'm not sure how you could be against 'Diversity' and use it as a curse...unless you are rooting to rewind how diverse America is...like Lauran Ingram...I'm just not sure how you'd do that.

    So yes, preaching diversity is a good thing.

    I could see how some would feel that way, but I'm not sure it applies to civil rights.

    What you seem to be missing is that murder SHOULD be inconvenient for ANYBODY regardless if it was done by somebody illegal or not. I have empathy which is why I don't need for it to happen to me to understand that it murder is sick and deplorable. Do you think it is a convenient for conservatives or not? If it is the latter, then Astro is just politicizing this.

    So your attempt to fix murder in the states is to politicize it?

    If there are 12 million illegal aliens that is 3.6% of the population. 13.4% of federal crimes seems to be over representation even with dismissing thousands of immigration crimes. This guy allegedly broke immigration laws with providing false ID.


    More importantly I recently ran across this graphic you might find interesting from this thread where you were the sole person caring about the physics. It matches my numbers relatively well except I used 15 fps StdDev and he used 25 fps StdDev. That's probably accurate for military ammo.

    Although 1 StdDev only encompasses around 60% of shots so perhaps 50 should be used.

    I would hate losing a loved one through any way... disease, car accident, mass shooting, etc. Your argument suggests you favor automatic weapon bans whenever there is a mass shooting.

    Yes, but VERY convenient for the right.

    They'll get those guns even if they are banned.

    Unlike illegal immigration which will be stopped by a wall.

    Don't let a bad egg spoil the dozen, unless they are brown eggs of course.

    I don't see a reason why not. It's a great idea that makes us a better nation and actually leads to greater unity. Do you have a reason why we shouldn't?

    Diversity should have no connotation -- neither good nor bad. However, in Sweden they love it...for whatever reason -- where 58% of convicted rapists are foreign-born. Shocking, considering that Sweden is the rape capital of Europe.

    Sweden rape: Most convicted attackers foreign-born, says TV

    About 58% of men convicted in Sweden of rape and attempted rape over the past five years were born abroad, according to data from Swedish national TV.

    Public broadcaster SVT said it had counted all court convictions to present a complete picture in Sweden.

    But Sweden had thousands more reported rapes, and there is no ethnic breakdown for those.

    So then it be safe to presume that in every other country, the opposite is true?

    Are you playing devils advocate or do you really believe countries should not have foreigners. Most of the foreigners in sweden are low skilled from Muslim or north African nations. I am not sure what that has to do with a nurse from China or Argentina being in your country. You can have a vetting process but to pretend like they are all same is stupid and hurts you in a global economy.

    Like the loved ones of Mollie Tibbets who have already come out and frowned against using her as a political weapon?

    so when you speak out that you're against illegal aliens committing crimes in this country, you're using political weapon?

    I believe everyone is against illegals, citizens or legal immigrants committing crimes in this country.

    You posting falsehoods over and over doesn't make them truer. Because you don't understand the graphics you posted last time you were corrected about this false claim doesn't change the fact, that you intentionally or unintentionally are lying.
