And that's the KEY word "CYCLE"! These thugs have babies who then also join gangs, sell drugs, shoot people, etc. It's a vicious cycle. Why go to school and earn a decent living when you can be in a gang? It continues between generations and won't stop until these kids are EDUCATED and they learn early on what the consequences are if they live this lifestyle.
Drugs are the key word, drugs are the root cause of these problems. Drug laws need to be repealed immediately and this would solve the violence problem in the process.
As long as the DEA and other narco law enforcement are working for the drug cartels, the drug war will continue.
I always think its odd, when I talk to people who support tough drug laws, I wonder how they feel that the drug cartels have the same opinion as they do, they very much rely on tough drug laws being firmly in place, they have the DEA to ensure it stays that way.
Huh. I just spent 3 nights in Chicago last weekend, had the best weekend of my life. Spent time downtown & in Wrigleyville. Used the L everyday. And I’m alive!! How can that be? According to the usual predictable suspects on here, I should’ve been shot dead because the city is out of control!!! Lol, just shut up about Chicago already. You guys are a yawn of a broken record.
So 74 shot and 12 dead should be "shut up about" right? I don't think the people of Chiraq would agree with you...
Don't confuse BLM with the crimes being committed, that program is about "Police Killing Unarmed People Specifically. So, don't interject what you don't understand into the subject matter.
IF BLM chooses to deal with the additional issue of Black on Black Street Crime, that is their choice, but their better situations is to stay with the "single focus" their organization has directed itself.
David Hoggs is a young teenagers, attacking him means nothing, they are part of "the future" and they will not carry forth the "ignorance of the past", they will make a world that better suits them as young people who will dominate the future.
Fact is Fact, many of the Baby Boomers and their first generation of offspring will by the fact of life mostly be gone in 20 -30 yrs and these young kids will only be in their 40's, and they will have made for themselves a world far removed from that of the past, that exist today.
Many of us will not be around to see or know it.
Hogg has already become a non issue happy to sit back and suck off the profits he garnered from his monetized/politicized dead schoolmates.
So your last vacation was in Iraq or Afghanistan? I guess it's possible if one never leaves the airport hotel or sticks to a few blocks in the "green zone".
Tourists views are almost NEVER the reality that residents experience...
You people who don’t bother to visit a city can claim what a city is like?
You people who only visit a city and after THREE whole days of staying in a "Green Zone" now claim that you know what's going on in the whole city?
