Minorities and gun murders: Ann Coulter sees link
Video
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter, who uses shock to sell books, is linking the rate of gun violence in the United States to the country’s minority populations.
The blonde bomb thrower held forth Tuesday on the relentless right-thinking “Hannity” show on the Fox News Channel.
Coulter said she has just returned to this side of pond from Great Britain, and compared the Brits’ crime rate to that in the United States.
“If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium,” said Coulter. “So perhaps it’s not a gun problem, it’s a demographic problem, which liberals are the ones pushing, pushing, pushing.”
Coulter went on to take a swipe at immigrants, saying: “Let’s get more Colin Fergusons and whoever the guy was who shot up Fort Hood. Why are they coming in to begin with.”
Ferguson is a Jamaican-born immigrant who shot up a Long Island Railroad commuter train, killing six and wounding 19. The “guy” at Fort Hood, who shot 13 people to death, was an Arlington, Virginia-born Army psychiatrist named Nidal Malik Hasan.
During the first decade of the 21st Century, Belgium had an average murder rate of 2.2 per 100,000, compared to 5.5 per 100,000 for the United States. The murder rate committed by whites, however, was higher in the United States than in Belgium . . . and far higher in France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Greece and Norway.
