You know, that is by far one of Nas’ best songs in years. Everything about that song was great.

Just thought I’d share.

Along those lines (or not really at all), it seems that violent crime was up in America in 2005, with an almost 5 percent increase in murders and a nearly 3 percent increase in overall crime.

Somewhere, Jim Jones is snickering to himself.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think that number’s really going to come down too much. And do you know why? Because gas prices are too fucking high. Seriously, I went to the gas station in my neighborhood two days ago and it was $3.22 for low grade. Had I just driven RIGHT up the street, it was $2.99. That’s enough to make me want to stab somebody.

And I have a good job with income coming in.

So what about the broke individuals out there who live in cities or states where public transportation isn’t exactly on and poppin’? The more you have to pay for the necessary goods, the less money you have all around, causing the bills you are required to pay seem that much more overwhelming causing niggas to be upset causing niggas to do things that niggas do when niggas get upset and frustrated.

Rob muhfuckas.

Hell, I’ve contemplated getting somebody for some money before. And I can read. Well.

Now, the funny thing about this, and the reason I’m about to contradict a statement I just made a few paragraphs ago is because when I read the article, one little fact jumped out at me.

Murders rose 4.8 percent, meaning there were more than 16,900 victims in 2005. That would be the most since 1998 and the largest percentage increase in 15 years.

Murders jumped from 272 to 334 in Houston, a 23 percent spike; from 330 to 377 in Philadelphia, a 14 percent rise; and from 131 to 144 in Las Vegas, a 10 percent increase.

Okay, makes sense, niggas are broke…yada yada yada. Except in Vegas where there’s mostly white folks, but hey, we’re just splitting hairs there, right?

Crime last year increased in all regions, although the 5.7 percent rise in the Midwest was at least three times any other region’s. These states make up the Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Say heffa say what?? Oh no he didn’t! Oh no he didn’t!

Ahem.

Do you know what this means?

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

Do you know that only you can prevent forest fires?

You ready? I don’t think you are.

It means that WHITE PEOPLE are cutting up and acting a gotdamn fool now too!!!

Sure, Chicago and Detroit are major cities in those states, but peep this little tidbit:

Despite the national numbers, Detroit, Los Angeles and New York were among several large cities that saw the number of murders drop.

Of course, when you have the kind of years Detroit has had in the past few years, it’s almost impossible for crime NOT to drop.

You know things are bad when white people are comprising the biggest increase in crimes in this country. In other words, shit is so bad that white people are having to rob eachother now. I don’t know about you, but that scares me. If it’s one thing I can usually count on, it’s the order of operations.

Black people rob black people and white people, sometimes. White people get robbed and call the police. Now white people are fucking up the rotation by robbing white people too. This has potential to bode badly for the black community. If white people start robbing, that doesn’t mean white people will go to jail for it…nope. It means that MORE black people will seem to be guilty of shit they weren’t even capable of doing.

Basically, a black man might NOW be held responsible for a crime he didn’t commit…BECAUSE HE WAS OUT ROBBING SOMEBODY ELSE AT THE SAME TIME.

As if life isn’t already hard enough out here for a pimp.

Luckily…I’m not SO worried about this. If it’s one thing white people don’t like, it’s being the victims of crime. They feel that they shouldn’t have to deal with that kind of thing. Crime is a darky problem. So when tough shit happens to white people, well by Jiminy, they do something about it. White man gets robbed, Congress passes legislation. Black man gets robbed…well, he lives to get robbed again, hopefully.

So maybe, since they have pinpointed that Middle Americans have been losing their fucking minds as of late, and at the risk of having to put white people in jail with Black and Latino people who seem to be fighting all the time, possibly over immigration and whether or not the Latinos have the right to even be in jail (don’t you love the ridiculous reaches I make sometimes), I think Officer Law and his boys in blue will find some way to get their shit together to keep white people safe.

Of course, you can’t make too much out of one years worth of information. It could potentially be that it was an abnormal year across the nation for crime. What with gas prices being what they are, maybe people just aren’t thinking straight. And gas has been a bitch since before 2006. So potentially, this will all change by the time they do the 2006 numbers, though I’m not SO sure, because even if they clean up shit for the white folks, black folks still have a big broke problem.

This just makes me think of how crazy things are around DC. Last year, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, the nation’s most affluent majority-minority county, the suburbs of DC…they amassed nearly 180 murders. That was ALMOST as many murders as The Crack Capitol itself. And this is where the rich niggas live. Though, it does make sense since nearly every black person is being priced right out of the District. Shit, they have to go somewhere. Car jackings were at an all time high in PG County.

If you can’t feel safe in the ‘burbs, where can you feel safe? And that’s why I think gas prices might start to drop at some point. This nation can’t afford to put white people on television robbing and killing eachother. It’s bad PR. And no, that doesn’t stand for Puerto Rico for the few of you who are trying to figure out what PR means.

Black people commit crimes, Latinos sneak in to the country, drive down wages…then commit crimes, and white people make this great country so great!

Except in Middle America right now where white people are shooting…

…and it’s making them look bad.

If ever there was a motivation for better crime prevention. It’s just a damn shame white people got to act crazy for me to believe the potential is there for it to exist.
