I did not cross check your statistics but I will take your word for it that as of December 2021 there were 995 fatal police shootings in the U.S. this year, 117 of whom were Black people. If this is true, then it means that Black people are k**led disproportionately less often than White people and other ethnic groups. 117 deaths out of 995 is 11.7%. Black people make up 13.4% of the U.S. population.

By rights, B****s should make up at least 50% of fatal police shootings because despite their small numbers, they commit at least half of all violent crime, including more than half of all murders. Meanwhile, I took a look at Canada's statistics of fatal police shootings and found something quite startling.

While B****s make up only 3% of Canada's population, they account for 9% of all fatal police shootings.
While Indigenous people (Indians and Eskimos) make up only 5% of the population, they account for a whopping 38% of all fatal police shootings.
White people are 73% of Canada's population, but only account for 48% of all fatal police shootings.

It would appear that Canada has a far more serious problem with racial equity when it comes to fatal police k*****gs. The U.S. isn't even in the ballpark with these disproportionate statistics.

This has been an exceptional post. I have been disheartened to see the news over the last year showing how weak the people have been in the English-speaking countries of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Only Great Britain has shown some cahones by their citizens standing up against authoritarian rule. I had no idea that hiding behind that veneer of Western luxury and freedom were people who are willing to be herded like sheep and bow down to authority no matter how absurd. It reveals how fragile democracies can be.

I appreciate John Frimm's thoughtful and detailed responses, but Frankly, he has some misconceptions about American culture, and is not aware of a lot of American current events and facts. That's okay. I am just learning things about Canada myself.

And if you can't explain it then nobody else will be knowledgeable, either.

Good point. People often throw around "follow the money" as a slogan that is supposed to explain everything. In this case I'd rather say "follow the ego."

This is hilarious! You are trying to reason and use logic with a guy whose IQ can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Perhaps you are not familiar with "the Dirtpusher." He's like talking to a doorknob.

In other words you cannot back up the specific fantasy assertions of the article. Instead you give me broad talking points about "gibberish."

I'll ask you one more time. Where did Marjorie Taylor Greene ever advocate for the executions of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama,and Hillary Clinton. When did she ever advocate the k*****g of people who have survived gun violence?

Can you provide any quotes? Video interviews? Written statements? Charges? Mind reading? Ouija Board revelations? Anything????

You look at a conclusion which is somebody's opinion and I look at facts. I'll make this simple. Where is the evidence that Marjorie Taylor Greene supports the execution of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton? Or that she wants to execute survivors of gun violence? None of those articles provides any evidence, and you can't either. It is a bunch of hogwash. Do you seriously think that if any of this this was true that attorney General Merrick Garland would just sit idly by and not lift a finger and not say anything? You people are living in a fantasy world.

The Newsweek fact check backs up my opinion by never giving evidence of the gross lies from the article that Tex posted - for instance that Greene supports the executions of Pelosi, Obama, and Hillary. You have also proven my point that liberals often don't read past the headlines of an article. If you did, you would be trying to point out where I was specifically wrong. Instead, your generic rebuttal is "the article is well-sourced and stands on its own merits." As if you actually checked out and verified its sources!

I read the article carefully before responding, unlike most of the liberals who just read the headlines. I invite you to specifically point out where I am wrong. Warning - You will have to read the article yourself.

I am defending her against specific lies. I already stipulated that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a nut case. But my whole point is that the press is never satisfied with actual eccentricities or malfeasance, they often just start making stuff up to pile-on. It isn't just with Greene. Ya know, in the U.S. we had to endure two full years of non-stop press coverage of how Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the e******n. It all turned out to be f**e. There wasn't even a morsel of some incident with a grain of t***h that started the whole thing. There was nothing!

The press could have easily dwelt on the numerous flaws in Trump's character and his outrageous behavior, or mocked the numerous dumb statements he made. And they would have been completely t***hful. But no! They had to start making things up out of thin air! They had to make up that he is a r****t by inventing that he praised W***e S*********ts by saying they were good people. I don't know about Canada, but the Press here is mostly a joke.

According to the Newsweek article, she gave a couple of likes to comments people posted on obscure Internet articles. The article that Tex posted said specifically that Greene supported the executions of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. It also said that she threatened to k**l gun violence survivors.

On top of this they kept claiming in different ways that Greene said that many of these school shootings were f**ed events that never happened. The fact that she gave a like to some guy's comment who happened to mention a false f**g operation" as evidence would be laughed out of court. If you wanted to get that picayune, I could probably find any politician in the world who acknowledged other people's comments or statements, and find something objectionable in one of the comments or statements. I'm sure I could do that with your likes on dozens of the comments right here on Ricochet. It is meaningless.

The Newsweek fact check did not back up any of the assertions I claimed were false.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions that Marjorie Taylor Greene never said any of that stuff nor threatened the executions of people like Pelosi, Obama and Hillary. L*****t news sources are so predictable.

Your comments are just as moronic, infantile, and unintelligible as they were when I used to participate on this website years ago. Have a nice day.

I was about to say the same thing!
