“It was hiding in the celery," said DEA Special Agent in Charge Robert Murphy. "Obviously, we threw away the celery. That didn’t make it to the store.”

    Do you say the same thing when stats are used to demonize immigrants? You apply the same level of skepticism?

      Of course… Why wouldn’t I?

      Wait…Do you believe spreading bad information, or fake news, is justified if it’s for something you believe in?

      And it’s not skepticism, it’s a known flaw in that bogus stat. It’s not like I’m breaking news here.

        I’m sure the documented immigrant data is more complete. So my point still stands

            lol sounds like the responses we get from the Trump campaign.

            “naw fuck facts”

            American Citizens are more criminally violent than immigrants of any kind.

            Stop looking for scapegoats

            edit: keep downvoting me instead of proving me wrong, you are just strengthening my argument

              It’s just as detailed of a reply as I felt your comment was worth.

              Your point was not suddenly made valid by some unrelated thing you threw in.

                That is an interesting way of saying you don’t have a valid retort.

                What do you mean “threw in”? 😂

                Look at the chart that I originally commented… I didn’t go back and change the image file to make myself right 😆

                Are you one of those violent Americans? Maybe we should deport you back to where your ancestors came from
