Being from Finland i don't understand why would weather play such a big role in this. Rest of the year is cold as **** in here and when summer comes in june there is no spike in violence.

A slew of impoverished teenagers who are now out of school, with no a/c in their homes, a bunch of aggression and weapons.
Yup. And it's easier to get drugs/alcohol when it's warm out. Worked at an inner-city MPLS liquor store for a while, summer gets wild because characters can walk in from all over and get their pint.
The scary thing about all of this is the white conservative perspective. My parents are ultra tolerant, but my roommates' parents are from small town Minnesota and love Bill O'Reilly and fools like that. His mom fired up one time and told me about "look at the statistics, the blacks in this country need to get their head out of their ***" ... it scared me because I don't think judgmental, simple people like that will ever change their mind. She doesn't understand history, context or the big picture, she just hears Rush Limbaugh and those idiots spewing crime stats. Wow, breaking news everyone, there is more crime in high density population areas. Literally the only thing you can do is wait for these people to die and be removed from the voters base.
