Why is the inner-city so violent and why isn't it national news? Where is the outrage over thousands of young men killing each other??? I read daily on the local news out of Chicago and you're talking about 20-30 people shot per day. This is nuts.
I'm assuming that most of this violence is done by minority gangs. So is it accurate to blame the single parent families for not being there for their child? Making the child turn to these gangs...
I think this is the biggest problem facing this nation.
How do we uplift these people? I think we need to discuss the most important issue we face.
Let's invest more into education of our inner-cities and set up a program that helps these children get interested in business, science and innovation. KEEPING THEM OUT OF GANGS.
Violent Crime and murder rates in the inner-cities you discuss generally follow nationwide crime trends.
If you want to uplift these people you must first have them obey the laws. Why didn't the people in these areas not go around killing and hurting others before the mid-1960's?
They didn't do it as much becuase the people in the city and leaders punished them more effectively. Nationwide, crime went way up after the criminal justice system was liberalized in the late 50's and early 1960's. The cities with high crime just followed the pattern.
All repeat violent felons should pay the maximum penalty under the law.
Hanging is always the best way to straignten-out those who refuse rehabilitation.
