Apparently Watts and South Central were peaceful little utopias until Reagan started sneaking out of the White House every night, heading to the hood and impregnating teenage girls. Then hooking them on crack, which he personally invented. Or something.

I liked this quote:

"one of the greatest moments of my life, that me and Willie Nelson grabbed the same piece of chicken at the same damn time.”

How exactly is he wrong? Between the crack epidemic and Reganomics, many urban neighborhoods were destroyed. Violent crimes rose all but one year from 1980 to 1992.

Violent Crime went from 1.34 million in 1980 to 1.93 million in 1992....an increase of 44%. Seems large, but the 12 privious years it went from 595K in 1968 to 1.34 millio in 1980....an increase of 125%.

So you agree violent crimes rose significantly during the Reagan administration.

And we allowed the Contras to sell their cocaine directly to the streets of LA to fund their operation. Read Dark Alliance by Gary Webb (who mysteriously committed suicide).

As pointed out above but Reagan was Governor in 1968 to 76. Then President from 81-89. So, yeah, those numbers could be attributed to him. Get those welfare bums back to work.

So in 16 of the 24 years mentioned above,Reagan had significant power over California. In the 24 years violent crime rose more than 300%

Check.

Also, Reagan was Governor when one of his possible opponents for the POTUS was assassinated in his own back yard. Did Reagan have any connections to Sirhan Sirhan? Hmm.

 

[The General]

It's better to blame someone else.

 

[cstu]

Reagan's policies didn't help, but it was crack that did the damage.

People had never done a drug like crack that was so powerful yet only lasted a short time before they needed another hit.

So you agree violent crimes rose significantly during the Reagan administration.

If those stats are correct it seems like it slowed.

If those stats are right then you could say violent crime actually slowed during the 80's in that area. Do I think it's fair to say that Reagan's policies were good on crime in those areas, no. Just thought the stats were interesting.

Whenever it's an article starting with "Snoop Dog thinks..." And it doesn't involve how to roll a J with stuff around your house or how to be a pimp I'm probably moving on.

I really don't care what any celebrity thinks, unless of course they end up becoming the president.

Can't wait for Sean Penn or Eddie from Vacation to weigh in on this subject.

And who was responsible for promoting the drug culture and "free love" culture? Who broke down traditional social structures like family and the church, leaving nothing to take its place? That wasn't Reagan.

Edit to add that I believe that both sides were financed by drug money and while the CIA wasn't selling, they kind of did a Joe Paterno to the whole thing. They didn't want to disadvantage "their" side.

 

[SacramentoBob]

I wonder how many FBGs have actually smoked crack? Probably one of the saddest things I've ever witnessed in my life was someone smoking crack.

 

[StrikeS2k]

Does anyone really think that prior to Reagan all they did in the 'hood was "have fun and play football" and there were no drugs, guns, or shooting? And only AFTER Reagan did "a shift of having fun and playing football to selling drugs and shooting at each other" happen?
