NEIL BOORTZ IS WORSE THAN A CRANKY OLD MAN

His latest rant is a call for open season on "thugs," which is wingnut code for young black males.  From karoli at Crooks & Liars:
BOORTZ: You know what? I, for one, am tired of putting up with this crap. And you want to know why I moved out of Atlanta and only spend a couple of weeks a year in this town? That's one of the reasons. Carjackings, violence, people getting shot. It's ridiculous. This city harbors an urban culture of violence. ...

And you do in fact need to carry that gun and we need to see some dead thugs littering the landscape in Atlanta.
karoli notes that the number of crimes in Atlanta have declined over the 2007-2009 period despite an increase in population. Preliminary statistics for 2010 show that the decline in Atlanta continued in 2010. By my calculation based on the FBI's numbers, the violent crime rate in 2010 was 1144.44, a slight decline from 1150.1 in 2009.
