Actually the percentage for black serial killers is higher than whites. 22% of serial killers have been black almost double the percentage of the black population in the States.

Sorry, but perhaps if family and friends were less tolerant of their own joining gangs, these things wouldn't happen. I don't feel sorry for mob wives, either.

I struggled for years with this after my best friend was killed. I eventually realized that it wasnt actually my fault.

Would've, should've, could've.. Bla bla bla.. There are two people - the person who made the choice to get involved in risky business and the person who murdered him or her. Although perhaps you as a member of our society are to blame.

the entirety of gang life is a tragic affair.

you realize some kids are literally forced into gangs as young as 10 years old, right?

Having attended a couple of gang funeral/wakes, all I can say is that I was unmoved. Even the most naive of kids knows that affiliation can lead to death and incarceration. When you enter that world of tats and handsigns, you have joined the dark side as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, pretty much. And I would say the same thing about joining a police force too..

Default Hundreds of teens mob pedestrians on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile

Several teens were arrested after dozens of mob groups began attacking pedestrians on Chicago’s downtown Magnificent Mile area on Saturday night.

Police responded to reports of disturbances near Michigan and Chicago Avenues.

It MUST be getting bad in Chicago when "The Grio"; which is def a "Black" issues site, talks about flash mobs.

This appears to be turning into a weekly event. There is "beat whitey night" at the state fair here. Of course the police still can't figure out if it's racially motivated or not. They haven't gotten back to us about it all for a couple years on that investigation.
