That isn't starving to death. That's just starving. And it isn't even remotely enough people to count as revolutionary-level starvation.
Of course, people rarely die directly from starvation. It's an incredibly long and painful process. Most people will commit suicide before they can completely starve to death.
Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, and the third leading cause among young adults, who are most vulnerable to economic hardship. Plus, malnutrition or the side effects of a diet consisting completely of cheap, unhealthy foods will lead to other health problems that, coupled with a lack of proper healthcare, will usually kill a person before starvation can. Both of these problems feed into completely different sets of statistics that don't count as death by starvation. So what we get instead is statistics on hunger.
Besides... dead people don't revolt. Desperate people do.

Also, google her name and click any news story and you'll see she had cocaine and oxycodone in her system. So lets see...
She's arrested after leaving the scenes of two hit-and-runs, she's driving illegally, and she's ripped to the tits on drugs. She then tries to run from the arresting officer. Clearly not off to a good start.
Now, what would you all say if the two hit-and-runs left people dead? I'm betting the words "karma" and "bitch" would be involved.
Fucking hypocrites, all of you.
First, it's not an officer's job to kill people before they've gone through proper legal process. Whatever threat she posed was over with. She was handcuffed and within arm's reach. The only excuse for what that officer did was laziness. Above all, it was reckless, and recklessness is exactly what you're condemning the girl for. So in essence, the cop was no better than the criminal in this case.
Second, I'm not one to judge drug addicts. I know people who've been fed drugs by their parents, and there is plenty of other information out there are the kinds of fucked up circumstances that can lead people to become addicts and do stupid things. Did she deserve to be arrested and put through legal processes to determine what punishments or rehabilitation procedures were appropriate in her case? Sure. Did she deserve to be killed extra-legally? No.
Two things: both sides are doing what they think is fair and right. Accusing any side of unfairness is forgetting that fairness, among many things, is subjective and relative.
Second, there really isn't that much of a culture war as there is a party war. You'd be surprised how much of a common anger at both sides the constituents share.
No. Altering the law to force everyone to live according to the beliefs of one religion is not fair. That much is not subjective. Religious people being able to live according to their beliefs to the extent that it does not infringe on those who do not share their beliefs is fair. This is pretty damn basic. I promote tolerance of religion all the damn time against people who are highly resentful towards it. However, there is a line. Tolerance of religion does not necessitate living according to religious doctrines. They may believe they are doing what is right, and I accept that. I will not concede that they are being fair and responsible.
Yes, there is a lot of common anger, but there are still incredibly divisive social issues that the parties successfully play off of. The whole thing is based on getting votes from people who hate their own party, but hate the other party more.
