Who Really Cares About Dead Kids?

April 21, 2023/13 Comments/in General/by Ann Coulter
Who Really Cares About Dead Kids?

We’ve heard a lot lately about how Republicans don’t care about dead kids — just keep your hands off their guns! The bullhorn insurrection staged by Tennessee legislators, for example, was justified on the grounds that they were JUST TRYING TO SAVE CHILDREN’S LIVES!!!

As MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell put it, the bullhorn episode showed “who is trying to protect the children of Tennessee and who isn’t.”

The amazing statistic that’s supposed to make us give up our guns PRONTO is that since 2020, gun violence has become the leading cause of death for American children.

You’re supposed to be thinking of the little kids killed in school shootings, like in Uvalde or the Christian school in Nashville. In fact, the odds that a child will be killed in a mass school shooting are 1 in 10 million.

The trick is that “children” includes 16-to-19-year-old gang members.   Exclude 16-to-19-year-olds, and the number of kids killed by guns every year plummets from 2,811 to a few hundred.

It turns out, Black teenagers are using guns to kill a lot of other Black teenagers.

This will come as a surprise to most people because Black-on-Black violence is not considered newsworthy. (By contrast, any White-on-Black violence, even the sort of thing that wouldn’t make local news if the perp were Black, will get front-page coverage at The New York Times, international headlines and a call from the president.)

Based on arrests reported in the local news, here are a few recent examples of “children” being killed by gun violence. You will notice that none of these suspected homicides would have been prevented even if Republicans gave up all their guns.

And consider that, in most urban areas, the huge majority of murders never result in any arrests at all. For example, the “clearance” rate for murder — which is much higher than the “arrest” rate — is only 22% in Chicago, 43% in Baltimore and 37% in Philadelphia.

According to police arrests:

— On March 29, 2023, 16-year-old Vincent Lee Bradley III and 17-year-old Devonte J. Pool fired at least 33 shots, gunning down a 16-year-old high school student, Larry Marshall III, in Tacoma, Washington.

— A few days earlier, 16-year-old Lorenzo A. Brooks and 19-year-old Aaron Randolph Carter allegedly shot and killed 18-year-old Jasiah Smith in a Fredericksburg, Virginia, parking lot.

— A week before that, 19-year-old Adrian Daeshawn Granville and 24-year-old Teonjenique Elizabeth Lashay Hudson Howard were shot and killed at the Embassy Suites hotel in Portland, Oregon, by an unknown suspect — the same hotel where 15-year-old Deandrae Barber fatally shot 18-year-old Parnell Badon Jr. on Nov. 19, 2022. (Can’t wait to read the Yelp reviews.)

— On March 7, 2023, two brothers, Jacob Tobias Bryant, 18, and John Aalen Bryant Jr., 20, along with an unnamed 16-year-old juvenile, fatally shot a 17-year-old in Georgetown, South Carolina.

— On Feb. 23, 2023, Keith Melvin Moses, 19, shot and killed a 9-year-old girl, T’yonna Major, and her mother in a shooting spree in Orlando, Florida, that left several others wounded or dead.

— On Jan. 23, 2023, 18-year-old Preston Walls removed his ankle bracelet before gunning down rival gang members, 18-year-old Gionni Dameron and 16-year-old Rashad Carr, at a violence reduction program in Des Moines, Iowa.

— On Jan. 4, 2023, 18-year-old Jakari Harps fatally shot 17-year-old Breck Gerard Williams Jr. and 14-year-old Adrian Daniels in west Fort Worth, Texas.

— Right before Christmas last year, 17-year-old Lavon Semaj Longstreet and 18-year-old TaeShawn Adams-Wright killed 19-year-old Johntae Raymon Hudson at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, standing over Hudson’s body and firing “multiple rounds into his body.”

— Earlier in December, 17-year-old Tejuan Johnson and 18-year-old Jaylan Dubose shot and killed 15-year-old Nonaisha Jones and 19-year-old Logan Lawson in the Roselawn neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.

All these incidents of “children” dying by gun violence consisted of Black teenagers killing other Black teenagers — and a 9-year-old.

More than half of all Black teenagers who died of any cause in 2020 were killed by guns. Black males 15- to 34-years-old were more than 20 times more likely to die by gun homicide than White males that age.

Unfortunately, there is probably no story of less interest to our media (or the president) than the epidemic of Black teenagers killing one another. In Jill Leovy’s acclaimed book, “Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America,” there’s a full page of racist quotes explaining why, historically, “Black-on-Black killing drew so little notice.” This one is from a White Tennessean during Reconstruction: “[N-word] life’s cheap now.”

Or, as Cook County (Illinois) State’s Attorney Kim Foxx put it in declining to prosecute a gang shootout, it’s “mutual combat.”

Far from highlighting the crisis of Black teenagers shooting one another and declaring a national emergency, the media, corporate America and Democrats mightily egged on Black violence after the death of George Floyd. It’s fun for them. They get to watch riot porn from the safety of their lily-White neighborhoods.

The only people who actually give a damn about Black people getting killed are the police. And who have the bien-pensants declared war on? You guessed right.

Propose anything that would actually reduce the plague of Black-on-Black crime, such as arresting, prosecuting and imprisoning criminals, and liberals scream, STOP PUTTING BLACK BODIES IN PRISON!

Needless to say, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, the Tennessee representatives who attacked democracy because they were JUST TRYING TO SAVE CHILDREN’S LIIIIIVES, are huge BLM supporters. They prattle about “ending police violence,” Blacks being “lynched by police officers,” and accuse the police of running a “system of White supremacy.”

Jones told Teen Vogue that “more policing does not lead to community safety.” (The thousands of Black men who are still alive thanks to Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s more policing policy would disagree.) Instead, Jones proposed “more funding to social workers, public education [and] ending poverty.” (Why didn’t anybody else think of that?)

On NPR, Pearson blamed “White supremacy” for the death of Tyre Nichols. (“White supremacy” is such an awesome force, it even infected the five Black Memphis police officers charged with Nichols’ death.)

You want to know who doesn’t care about “our children’s lives,” MSNBC? You, the rest of the media, George Soros-supported prosecutors and the entire Democratic Party. Their motto: “[N-word] life’s cheap now.”

    Thank you Ann for again scapegoating blacks who have no political power and who are just pawns. Blacks can’t take our guns. Who puts blacks up to these stunts and who has the power to take our guns and who has every intention of doing so?

    Who allowed blacks to riot, loot and burn and to pay no consequences for it? Who desegregated everything, you supported that didn’t you? Who promotes blacks and stirs them to blame white people for their problems?

    If you want to point out the bad behavior of blacks then what do you suggest be done about it? They never behaved this way under Jim Crow. Who put pressure on the Tennessee legislators and labeled them racist because of two votes, they didn’t expel the white woman?

      Blacks have enormous political power through their representatives in the Democrat and Republican parties, Corporate donors, mass media, advertising firms, entertainment industries (remember Kanye?)…
      The answer to almost all your “Who” questions is: Jews.

        You’re certainly right about the real enemy. Why keep pretending that the blacks who are put up as opponents of our own white people are representatives of blacks? Any who don’t stand for their own people are filthy tools of the Jews. God bless those blacks who see through them.

    Since Jews are known to be the most incontestably clever humanoids under the sun, they may not naturally have a particularly big heart for super-dumb goyim, but they always have one for super-smart Negroes and their super-smart animals. In this fascinating story, researched by himself supremely personally for three years in the most exhausting detail work and finally published in book form, the super smart Jude Hoffman tells of the former slave of stupid white oppressors, the super smart Negro Bill and his super smart horse Jim, who is said to have been even smarter than super stupid white sixth graders. The super-rich Jew Hofman therefore asks the super-dumb goyim to click on the “Super Thanks” button to finance him with the last of their money for his film project about the super-smart Negro Bill and his super-smart horse Jim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pACXxtbvVA

    Although all evil white people only extremely rarely like the oh-so-noble and exclusively good Jews in terms of character, everyone likes dolphins, after all they are considered the smartest animals, almost as smart as humans themselves. But then an evil white scientist came along and claimed something incomprehensibly mean: dolphins are not very smart at all, because their brains are relatively large, but only moderately interconnected compared to humans. What humans perceive as “smart” in dolphins is exclusively a misinterpretation of their own influence on the animals. This malicious claim, supported by cold rational malicious science, is refuted by a multitude (at least 6 million) of “witness reports”.

    White shiksas in particular firmly believe in the intelligence of dolphins (just as they also believe in the truthfulness of “6 million most credible witness accounts”). The researcher Howe was one of the first to recognise that dolphins do not speak and understand Spanish or Swahili, but exclusively pronounced English. Accordingly, they think and dream only in English (with an American accent, in gratitude for the American film version of “Flipper”). Unlike super-dumb white goyim, dolphins can in fact – just like negroes and horses – even understand the quantum physics of the super-smart Jew Albert Einstein, which “Mister Ed” already proved.

    Was it really necessary to publish that hideous
    “pic” up there? A a deliberate, even willful me-
    anness against our good mood. Unfortunately,
    by now we know all too well what this negroid
    “gangsta” vermin “looks” like: one like the other.

    Imagine: There are actually (not a few!) people who associate the word “Jew” with a positive perception! Completely sick and anything but truth and reality. If only these idiots had a remote, faint idea of what they “owe” to the Jews. Then “Jews” would be again what they actually are and always were before. And the word would be a trivial matter at best.

    Which means nothing other than that the Jews themselves made sure that their actions and their psychopathic “peculiarity” were no longer to their credit as ever before. Scattered in the vastness of their manipulated “media world”. They probably want to push it so far that we feel the urge to masturbate when we hear the word “Jew”. This has to end one day.

    Perhaps a glitch prevented my comment from appearing.

    I said the KKK warned us Blacks & their (((masters))) [all too often] are like this.

    We didn’t believe them.

    In the UK we have a Stephen Lawrence Day to commemorate a black youth killed by white racists. We don’t have a Day for white headmaster Philip Lawrence killed by a non-white racist. Or a white constable Keith Blakelock killed in the most atrocious manner by black racists, or other white victims of blacks. We are told that our police regard black lives as cheap. Au contraire, that is how many black youths regard other black youths.

    I used to believe in some remnant form of constitutionalism until recently, but now I see it as a hindrance to our people. Eliminating the last vestiges of it would not allow the reflexive Cuckservative defense-mechanism anymore, forcing them to default to ethnic nationalism. Hypothetically, what if we had ‘gun-control?’ I am not talking about the logistics of it because clearly nobody has an actual plan for it. But if we magically had gun-control white suicides and mass murder would plummet, while black crime would stay right where it is. The advocates of gun-grabbing only want to disarm law-abiding whites, but perhaps that would not be such a bad thing, considering white self-defense is rarely used against nonwhites because white-flight suffices for that. But when it is utilized it ends up in a hate crimes tribunal in the crooked courts of wokeness. There is no defense against that. I am for funneling more weapons into the hood and arming both sides of the black gang war to erode the anti-white population. The race war is currently one-sided against us, but to quote Irish nationalist Bobby Sands, ‘Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.’ All we have to do is outlast our enemies.
