"As far as life goes, for example, one African-American is extrajudicially killed by police, security guards and vigilantes every 39 hours."
Salina- If you check the stats I think that (African-Amaricans) kill each other at a far greater rate.

The stats that I mentioned show that Blacks kill each other at an average rate of at least one every hour. Salina comes off as being an uniformed and immature person with a chip on her shoulder.

Chip indeed.

"Property problems are rampant with more people getting kicked out of their properties, spiking homelessness, especially among the young and the veterans. Unbelievably, 1 in 3 homeless people in America are U.S. military veterans."

Homelessness

Using the most recently available national data on homelessness, the 2009 and 2011 point-in-time counts as reported by jurisdictions to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the report chronicles the changes in overall homelessness and in homelessness among subpopulations between 2009 and 2011. Point-in-time count methodologies vary and are imperfect and as such the aggregated numbers do not represent a precise count of homeless people. The counts, however, when compared over time, provide a way to assess whether the homeless population has increased or decreased.

The nation’s homeless population decreased 1 percent, or by about 7,000 people; it went from 643,067 in 2009 to 636,017 in 2011. There were a decreased number of people experiencing homelessness in most of the subpopulations examined in this report: families, individuals in families, chronic, and individuals. The only increase was among those unsheltered.
The largest decrease was among homeless veterans, whose population declined 11 percent. The number of homeless veterans went from 75,609 in 2009 to 67,495 in 2011, a reduction of about 8,000.
The national rate of homelessness was 21 homeless people per 10,000 people in the general population. The rate for veterans was 31 homeless veterans per 10,000 veterans in the general population.
Chronic homelessness decreased by 3 percent from 110,911 in 2009 to 107,148 in 2011. The chronically homeless population has decreased by 13 percent since 2007. The decrease is associated with an increase in the number of permanent supportive housing beds from 188,636 in 2007 to 266,968 in 2011. Permanent supportive housing ends chronic homelessness.
A majority of homeless people counted were in emergency shelters or transitional housing programs, but nearly 4 in 10 were unsheltered, living on the streets, or in cars, abandoned buildings, or other places not intended for human habitation. The unsheltered population increased by 2 percent from 239,759 in 2009 to 243,701 in 2011, the only subpopulation to increase.
The number of individuals in homeless families decreased by 1 percent nationally, but increased by 20 percent or more in 11 states.
While the homeless population decreased nationally, it increased in 24 states and the District of Columbia.
