Indian reservations across the United States have grappled for years with chronic rates of crime higher than all but a handful of the nation’s most violent cities. But the Justice Department, which is responsible for prosecuting the most serious crimes on reservations, files charges in only about half of Indian Country murder investigations and turns down nearly two-thirds of sexual assault cases, according to new federal data.

The country’s 310 Indian reservations have violent crime rates that are more than two and a half times higher than the national average, according to data compiled by the Justice Department. American Indian women are 10 times as likely to be murdered than other Americans. They are raped or sexually assaulted at a rate four times the national average, with more than one in three having either been raped or experienced an attempted rape.

Jack...you are very full of shit( i mean that in a good way)...But amusing. But laughs aside..
One piece of advice I have for you is to focus on your prayer life.
Most americans know what is of value in this life...and that is getting to know our Creator.
So the crap that you hear thru the media...Thats the ugly(and minority side of) America.
The CNNs the MSNBCs,Hollywood...the purveyors and promoters of lies.

My dad is a non religious guy..A jew by birth and he lived in the mountains of north Georgia on 20 acres for 25 yrs.
Those bible belt down to earth christians treated him like gold. They lived to help their neighbors.
So before you say 'you people' realize that those 'you people' that you speak of are a minority in the USA.

Problem is, that minority have easy access to semi automatic guns. No one thinks all Americans are loopy, just that you allow the loopy ones to make your gun laws.

Better still, arm all the school kids.
That way they can have a shoot-out whenever someone pokes their tongue out.

Maybe he can start an American version of Battle Royale?

His thinking maybe that if you arm all teachers and students then it will lead to fewer deaths in a potential mass shooting situation as the killer will get taken out sooner in time.

He's testing the American people, seeing how far they'll let him push it before they stand up against the bs.

We already have armed teachers in some schools. I think he's talking about funding for some sort of additional training and weapons. I've never heard of a school district that actually provides arms to teachers. They are allowed to carry their own.

What a sad and sick society that has to arm its teachers.
Next they'll be wearing camo and helmets.
Bullet proof vests for the kids and guns too.
Then we can see a really good shootout lasting all day.
What a ludicrous place.
Anywhere else on planet earth like this?

That's correct. The murder rate for young black males (most people wouldn't call them kids) is off the charts. Couple that with a suicide rate that's about average, but is often accomplished with a gun instead of a tall building or pills, and you can point your finger at guns for being a partial cause (assuming you believe that American "kids" only know of one method to commit suicide).
