Chew on this for a bit. Schadenfreude on January 4, 2013 at 3:41 PM

I heard this ~2 weeks ago on the radio from a caller but could find no story anywhere in the MSM to substantiate it. It affirms there was a ready-to-roll national media cover story to validate another AWB regardless of the weapon used. Thank you Schadenfreude for posting it.

That explains why gas station employees from the 60′s are mass murders.

When I as a toddler back in the 60′s I ate paint chips and chewed on pencils. How come I’m not a violent criminal? Maybe lead only affects blacks and hispanics?

Pencil “lead” isn’t lead – it’s bonded graphite.

Just wondering, would lots of crime in the cities have anything to do with densely packed ~~projects~~, er, transitional assistance subsidized housing?

Lead in gasoline also makes kids drop out of school, form gangs, and wear Nike’s and “bling”.

Also cause girls to become pregnant…it is even worse than thought, lead in gasoline effects minorities, specifically african/american’s in even greater numbers…

It’s true, the Obama E.P.A. tried to get the lead from bullets banned as a pollutant.

It’s the only hypothesis that persuasively explains both the rise of crime in the ’60s and ’70s and its fall beginning in the ’90s.

Yikes. The rise in crime was due to Progressive judicial activists letting criminals loose back in to their communities believing that “society” was at fault and the repeat criminals could be “rehabbed.”

Thomas Sowell has written about this, at length, for literally decades.
