The solution to the hood is more fatherhood and less motherhood.

Fathers are optional in today's society, not really needed. Another woman, an uncle, or grandparent is all that is needed in our Progressive society.

Lol Progressive into a society of decline.

Fathers are not optional no matter what liberals say. Again, a lot of these issues in places like Chicago come from people raised without fathers or male-figures in the homes.

You know who it is that's more strict on their daughters to prevent them from being pregnant during their teens? Fathers. Many teenage girls that are pregnant in their teens, were raised by mothers who are single mothers.

You know who it is that teaches their sons accountability and to use logic over emotion? Fathers. Women don't do this. Go through the list of the young black men that have been killed by police for foolish actions, again, raised mainly by women because women don't instill logic and sense into their children.

Again, analyze the problems in these communities and connect the dots and see how a lot of the actions connect back to more feminine traits. Fathers provide. And in homes where fathers provide there isn't the need for sons to sell drugs to survive because the father will do this. In these single mother homes, they struggle and the kids have to resort to providing for everyone.

I can go on and on.

If ALL black lives mattered to the BLM group, then they would be also upset at black on black violence and picketing in rough ghetto neighborhoods.

Instead, as seen in Baltimore, their group gets in the way of the police trying to stop crime in that city.

And a simple solution for the BLM group is to encourage black people to join the city police forces to monitor their own people. It would be quicker to make the police forces in the inner cities more black than try to make white police officers behave the way black people want them to. BTW I am a supporter of profiling.

Out of 48 wounded so far this weekend only 4 deaths. Goes to show emergency medical works well in a war zone.
Either that or they are just really bad shots.

Memorial Day weekend shootings leave 4 dead, at least 48 wounded - Chicago Tribune

49 wounded...49!! That is very disturbing. I wonder of how many of those 49 actually had insurance? If not, how much $$ do these innocent victims had to shell out to pay for medical care?

there are 18 major cities with a murder rate higher than Chicago, why is it that Chicago is always the focus point of this forum?

They usually don't pay a dime. They get put on Medicaid by the hospital's billing and/or social services departments.
