Do you really mean that, or is this sarcasm?

And that's the case in some of these Chicago shootings. People in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Rarely are arrests made cause the shooters don't stick around and if the neighbors know anything, they tend to remain silent out of fear and blame the Police.

"Innocent bystanders" with siblings who were shot dead because of being involved in gangs are rarely "innocent bystanders".

The girl who was shot didn't live by the sword.

There is a very sad code in some communities. It is the code of "snitches get stitches". Fear is a big reason. I'm somewhat familiar with this because my father was raised in a somewhat rough area where you might have to fight on your way home from school. There is a feeling of "if you tell the police what happened, the killer might come back and kill you next".

So you weren't being sarcastic?

No Laverne gotta address the sick depraved culture that dominates this area. Guns are just a symptom.
I'm no biblical scholar, but doesn't it say somewhere in there that "he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword?" oh yes.... "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Matthew 26:52

Sorry, you get no sympathy from me for being a degenerate. Sorry mom, you raised four losers and it came back to bite you in the butt. If they had not been shot, they would have been stabbed to death. Same difference.

By the way, I didn't read any quotes from the father(s) in that article....In fact I did a word search, and the word FATHER did not appear anywhere in the article. Why. Am. I. Not. Surprised.

Folks who support drug prohibition are partners to these criminals, IMO.

With the borders wide open, there is essentially no drug prohibition. Tons of meth, heroine, cocaine and pot come across from Mexico every day, there are absolutely no shortages of drugs out on the streets.
