Airbnb bans 'party houses' after five die in Halloween shooting
Airbnb has said it will ban "party houses" after a mass shooting at a California home rented through the company left five people dead.
CEO Brian Chesky said in a tweet the company would take steps to "combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct". "We must do better, and we will. This is unacceptable," Mr Chesky added.
Three people died at the house, in the city of Orinda, near San Francisco, and two more died later in hospital. The house was reportedly booked under a pretence for a small group, before being publicised on Instagram as the venue for a Halloween party which eventually drew a crowd of more than 100 people. The host did not authorise the party, Airbnb said.
[...] Mr Chesky said Airbnb would create a dedicated "party house" rapid response team and expand manual screening of high-risk reservations. The company, which is expected to float on the stock market in 2020, would also take action against users who violated its policies, he said.

It's a pretty far stretch from classic bolshevism actually, though there are connections.
"some meth head white committing the worst crime they can find (many times they are minor property crimes with no violence or some crime from god knows when) so they can try to cover for the fact that the rate of incident and the types of crimes are way different."
The current rate is much lower when you compare by color nationwide, but look at some of the poorest rural mostly-white areas and they're catching up very quickly.
Rural society is being destroyed with meth in much the same way that urban society was destroyed with crack and other things, and the results are already looking eerily familiar. Just wait 40-50 years to see the full effect.
