He was asked what portion of gun crimes were by trans people, and he retorted with "are we counting gang violence?"
So he was losing an argument about trans people and was trying to shift to blaming black people.
All those trans gang members out there committing gun crimes! Why ... there's probably nearly half a dozen of them in the country!
Charlie died the way he lived. Spewing bullshit.
Equating gang violence with black people is racist as shit.
Admittedly that dog whistle was an assumption I made. He didn't finish his thought.
The point he was making is that the vast majority of violence in America takes place in gang warfare, and if you're not in a gang, it is far less of a personal concern than it might otherwise appear. I know this because it's a common one that these kind of people make all the time.
It's a bad point because it basically implies that gang violence doesn't matter.
It's also false

I'm terribly sorry for getting the exact wording of his deflection wrong, and only nailing the message of his frequently employed bad faith argument.
I bet he'll get over it.
Still too soon?
