| > describing the author of the first article I wrote as an "NRA spokesman" Go read the 1,000 articles Richard Feldman wrote for the NRA and his own gun lobbying group. > "Vigilante Mobilization and Local Order: Evidence from Mexico" Comparing current conditions in America with the Cristero Rebellion or the Mexico drug war is odd. I argue we're not there yet. What I really wanted from you is evidence that Goetz shooting people on the NYC subway resulted in lower crime rates. > Also I note that you're pushing back against my statement regarding things being swept under the rug (e.g., your statements about "somehow" this making it to the news). You were claiming BART was deliberately not informing the public about the robbery incident, just like Richard Feldman was claiming that the NYC subway system was deliberately not informing riders that crime plummeted because of the Goetz shooting. I argue that BART was not withholding details of the shooting. As evidence of this, I maintain that there are tons of newspaper articles about the robbery out there. If BART was suppressing the incident, they're not doing a very good job of it. > Did you also notice that the link to this article is gone from the HN front page? No I don't pay attention. > My intuition is that the public in general is going to turn a blind eye to this topic We're all talking about it! |
