Move away from these jackals...avoid them at all costs!

Surprised the victim's fob was not lifted and the car stolen, even for a joy ride.

Suspect the video footage of whomever found the victim and reported it, will not be shown to protect him/her from potential retaliation.

The shooter's mother and sibs know. Will one or more come forward?

Being stuck in a bad neighborhood does not mean losing one's compassion and humanity.

That loss of humanity makes them a part of the really bad neighborhood.

Or themselves.

There is no fixing the hood rat.

Given the timing of all those people coming by I have to wonder if an overnight shelter was letting out for the day.

Very sad, a good person executed in cold blood by heinous animals who have no respect for life.

Since the killer wasn't a white police officer, no condemnation of these kinds of violence by the usual organizations.

Hood rat mentality is a difficult thing to fix. This guy in the video clip below is a good example. James Broadnax. This was back in 2008/2009. He went from south Dallas to Garland to "rob some rich White folks". He killed two people outside of a Christian music studio in Garland. He was interviewed on death row. He expressed no remorse. He literally said he wanted to die. 20 years old at the time.

He's still on death row.

I'm not saying that being stuck means loss of compassion. I just wanted to mention this. There are some decent people who are stuck in bad neighborhoods. The OP said "leave those jackals behind". Some people are stuck with the jackals. Whenever Black people living in the ghettos get the resources to live somewhere better, they leave.

You can say the same thing about any country in the world. The US is not any worse and better than many. The past doesn’t help us. We have to live in the now and deal with what is going on now. Crime is on the rise, violence is on the rise, aggressive driving on the rise, lack of humanity on the rise. The solution is not in becoming more woke and “tolerant”. The solution is bringing back a respect for God and His ways. The farther we move away from that, the worse this country gets. The closer we get to relying on our own morality, the farther we slide.

This would be my response to anyone reacting with the thought of retiring to another country.

Some thirty years ago they advertised globalism promising that third world countries would become more like us.

But anybody would could think it through knew that we would become more like them.

A race to the bottom.

Well, some thirty years later, here we are.

Enjoy!

Well, I'm not being tolerant. I just have a very cynical view of things. America has always had some degree of moral rot. All I have to do is look to all the racial violence America has dealt with from 1800-1960. That alone is enough for me to think "when has America not had some moral bankruptcy" or "when has America NOT had so many things go on that go against God".
