I can't fathom what it's like to live in a neighborhood where children occasoinally get shot and killed.

It rubs people the wrong way, but YF is basically right in these threads: How can we not, as a society, as a nation, stand up and absolutely demand that something be done about inner-city violence? It is flat-out a decades long humanitarian crisis, in our backyard. And nobody cares.

Because it's the same as fixing schools. All you need to do is solve poverty first.

Or get rid of the guns.

Those conversations always go equally well here.

This won't stop until the community decides they want it too. Meanwhile
the protests in Ferguson continue. Black on black crime don't talk about it,
but a white cop kills a black man who robbed a convenience store- burn down
the town.

Maybe it ends when the community starts rioting against the gang members who kill these children.

I'm guessing he wandered into a yard where he was not welcome for whatever nefarious things they were up to in the home. Damn. That's scary.

It's kind of like how Congress has record-low ratings but everyone loves their congressman. People in the inner-city are against kids getting shot. They're just not against it enough to turn their brothers or sons or cousins or uncles or friends in to the cops.

Poverty will only be fixed when people are expected to live up to a certain level of responsibility. In other words, never.

Well I don't think Eric Holder or Al Sharpton will be going t to Chicago this week to look into the
Killing of the 9year old. Just not buying the premise of the Atlantic article.
