Wow, the homicide numbers in 2020 throughout America are something else.
Such an amazing first-rate country. The rest of the devoloped world must be laughing at this dump or confused about what America's moral collapse.
317 homicides so far this in Baltimore with less than 600,000 people.
302 homicides in Memphis population: 650,000
265 homicides in Poland ('18 numbers) population: 37 million
290 homicides in Spain ('18 numbers) population: 46 million
36 homicides in East. St Louis population: 26,000
25 homicides in Norway ('18) population: 5 million
471 homicides in Philadelphia (population: 1.5 million)
345 homicides in italy in '18 (population: 60 million)
There are around 15,000 non suicide gun deaths per year meanwhile there are 850,000 abortions and those are only the ones officially recorded.
What is the point of this post? We all know....more gun laws when the left wants to defund police and never enforces the existing laws.
What would you do to solve inner city violence besides "more gun laws?". They can't just be thrown back on the street when they break laws. Legalize pot nationwide and have a tough on crime policy for everything else.

It's absolutely tragic, isn't it ? So how do we go about changing the "survival of the fittest" mentality that causes this type of thing ? How do you change the person that thinks that taking a life is the way to settle "beefs" ? Add drug addiction and mental illness into the picture and it makes it even worse.
What complex solution do you propose for this complex problem ?

I propose we take the opposite approach the leftists are taking. Before I went to bed last night, I heard that LA has instructed prisons to release half their populations (including violent offenders) because they are at risk for COVID. Now I wake up to the news that an LA elected official (forget his role) wants charges reduced against a lowlife who murdered two people, including an off-duty police officer at Jack in the Box.
We have got to stop lending our sympathies more to the thugs rather than the victims. We need MORE prisons, and we need to give harsher punishments (while simultaneously protecting innocent citizens). I am fine with two populations - decent, law-abiding people who live freely, and lowlife thugs who commit felonies who live restricted lives in prison.
The worst example is what happened this summer here in DC: the liberals released a rapist because....awwww, he might catch the virus....and the animal went straight to the house of his victim the very morning of his release and....killed her.
You don’t want to end up in a crowded prison during a pandemic? Well then don’t commit crimes.

Anyone who sees this number and condemns America is an idiot and shouldn't be a concern. All these homocides happen mainly in big Democrat controlled cities; don't blame the rest of us for the failed social experiments of the left.

I like the way you think.
First off, start making prisons a place to be feared, by all, not just the law abiding. Second, stop with the plea bargains. I just watched a video and an individual had 4 firearms cases against him. He walked with 4 days served, then proceeded to kill someone. This should never have happened.

Prisons are already violent and crazy. They are the scariest places you can go to. Prison might initially scare some criminals, but once they get used to the violence in prison, the craziness, they get institutionalized. Prison is more like home to them than the outside world. This is one reason why the recidivism rate is so high.
I agree wholeheartedly with the adage "You do the crime, you do the time". However, watching alot of prison documentaries, and doing some reading, I've found out something. Hard time doesn't scare someone doesn't have the ability to live in regular society.
We have the largest prison population in the world. Louisiana and Oklahoma are the top incarcerators of the USA. Both have the death penalty too. Louisiana is the murder capital of America. And since we're talking about murder, let's talk about this. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, they are the top murderous states in America. They rank high for imprisonment. They are tough on crime. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to deter future criminals.
Imprisoning violent criminals isn't hard. The problem is that we have many people who seem to adjust better to prison than living in the free world.

Have you read about prisons in Mississippi and Alabama? Specifically, Parchman in Mississippi and Holman in Alabama? So violent that the Federal Govt. is investigating both of them (under the Trump Admin.) I'm pretty sure Louisiana's prison system is not much better, but Parchman is probably the worst in the U.S..
Clearly, the lock 'em all up approach just breeds a more violent society.

And that is a huge problem.
