> Y'all colonized the poorest parts of the city and gave the poorest folks nowhere to go, and you still complain when they dare to pop up where you are.
What leads you to conflate poverty with criminal activity, and proceed to victim-blame those who dare complain about criminal activity?
Equating poor people with criminals is indeed quite discriminatory. It’s ironic to see that used in a statement from someone who believes themselves to be taking the moral high ground.
The equation he made isn't wrong, but it contradicts the fact that OP is criticizing people who agree with what they said themselves.
Data clearly shows a correlation between crime levels and average income in an area. Are we not mostly engineers used to working with data here? In fact, needing to "survive" is a common excuse used to justify the crimes committed in impoverished areas.
Note that I said correlation, not causation. If someone has data that says otherwise, please provide it because I would be genuinely intrigued.
