There are lots of impoverished countries that don't have these problems. They still are able to instill respect in their children.

MIchael Browns father was in his life only 4 years.
Browns parents should have raised him better not to rob a store and have better morals?
The only common denominator in gun violence is guns.

Yeah, that would be true.
Not that it has much to do with guns.
The only common denominator in hammer violence is hammers.
Violence will find a way.

But clearly the father/stepfather has issues with his behavior as well. Shameful.
Stepfather is no different than many a black male here complaining abou YT for all of their ills.

This isn't rocket science people. The root of gun violence is lack of economic opportunity. Poverty increases violence, period. If there were jobs for people in these neighborhoods, they wouldn't be resorting to crime.

Nope, that's untrue.

Countries with the highest rates of violent crime have the highest rates of economic inequality and political instability.

You're right.
So let's burn down whatever businesses
were left and go from there.

The root of one person committing violence against another is evil.

It must be rocket science to you.

Because that is NOT the cause of violence.

Not to mention not attacking a cop and trying to take his gun. I had to laugh when I read about that woman who said "I have a sixteen-year old and it could've been him. (Wilson) was way out of line". Really??? Hopefully you're teaching your kids not to screw with police officers. They have a job to do.
