That is a solvale problem. Lock them up until they are 40. Older blacks aren’t as violent.

The same demographic commits most of the violent crime wherever they are found. They are not Homo sapiens.

I’m familiar with the 13:50 statistic, but isn’t it even worse than that? If you accept that violent crime skews roughly 80:20 male:female, then far fewer of the offending demographic are responsible for that 50% of homicides?
