How can they look at St. louis, Jackson MS, Etc who just may have a murder rate of 85/100,000 and do little about it. Then large swaths of suburbs like MetroWest Boston, SWCT, The Million dollar arc in Nj, Maryland suburbs, etc... Effectively have murder rates either at 0 or very close to 0. It's disheartening. It's like they put people in this fence and gave them little opportunity and simply don't care enough to help them.
In relation to what? Baltimore or DC? If you mean the latter, PG County has 83 homicides so far. Crime has been extending into the MD Suburbs for a while.

Gross exaggeration.
Not the government fault that people kill each other at higher rates. These gun homicides are not caused because someone doesn’t have a job. Having enacted certain policies the past few years in certain cities hasn’t helped and this summer’s war on police certainly isn’t helping. Maybe that why the black community doesn’t support defunding or disbanding the police.
So sad. This country is really going down the toilet with a power flush. All the problems, and I cannot stand to see certain individuals continue to make things worse. The plagues during the movie the Ten Commandments don't hold a candle to this. Let it end!
This violence is all self-induced aided and abetted, at least in certain larger cities, by local leadership.

Completely disagree. Subject a community to pervasive, rampant unemployment and bad things are gonna happen. The above quote is divorced from reality, at a macro level.

Most of MoCo, HoCo and AA county, Harford County, etc.. PG is a major outlier
Man shot to the head in Boston's Roslindale neighborhood. Critical condition. A man was shot in the head directly across the street in July. He survived. Another man was shot at that intercsetion in June.

Yeah because gun homicides don’t consist of on the spot shootings cuz someone felt disrespected, is holding a grudge, or otherwise reacted out of whack.
Actually my statements are from a Chicago community activist...this violence isn’t from someone not having a job, it’s rooted in emotional immaturity and lack of personal responsibility.
Make more money from dealing drugs than having a job...

not for most people, it is not 1989. The drug market doesn't work like that anymore.
Genertaional poverty, disenfranchisement, desperation, undereducation and the stress that spills over into the household and schools results in maladjusted individuals who haven't gotten the attention and assistance they need.
