Who the @#$% is this Mary Kissel person? ...

I understand that she is with the WSJ; but, on every topic, she is forceful, smug, and wrong ...

Kissel: The solution to gun violence is not more regulation ... It's stop, question and frisk, and of course it should be done in communities of color because that is where the crime is!

Robinson: A recent law suit showed that the crime is where you look for it. When stop, question and frisk is applied to white communities, there was a HIGHER instance of discovery contra-band, including guns, and other criminality.

Kissel: Well ... the policing policy is another subject for another time.

And Kissel is supposed to be a journalist?

Went into "financial journalism" next door at the WSJ, got on the Ed Board, which is where you can go if you have big Repuke connections. So she knows someone and plays the game.

She knows as much about the black experience in America as I do about Outer Mongolia.

The city she lives in has scaled back S&F and there has not been a discernible uptick in crime. Where I live, it has declined.

So her agenda doesn't surprise me. Usually I don't much care but wow, was she racist and rude. Thiis was in contrast to the black female mayor of Baltimore who was strongly rebutting her and exposed her for not knowing what she is talking about when it comes to crime in the inner cities.
