Agree with almost all of this. I think you would see marked improvement in 5-10 years, though. Erosion of family and lack of focus on education have hurt large cities.
There is always talk of privilege now. The “privileged” in America are still those that have a focus on family and education. If there is a high emphasis on those two things, it is highly likely you will be successful in the U.S. and be able to live a “privileged” life. The ones who complain about privilege want to dilute the education system and have been attacking family values since the 1950 (the period of the Warren Court is where object evidence points that this began).

West Virginia has a poverty issue.
West Virginia doesn’t have a “shoot random people who wander down a street or disrespect me” issue.
New Orleans has a culture issue that’s only getting fixed with outside intervention and mass incarceration.
No one is hiring those people.
Those people don’t want jobs.

This idiot here. She’s implying that if it were only illegal to tote guns around, then this wouldn’t have happened. She’s also implying that certain people follow laws as prescribed. Just stupid and willfully ignorant on so many levels.

The national guard wouldn’t have prevented this shooting.

That’s sounds great. But let’s be honest, there is no reforming these animals. They have no humanity in them. There is no fixing them. They place zero value in human life. Until we can admit this truth, the problem will never be solved.

Cool. Let them retreat to their own hood. They can shoot each other all day and night.

Lots of rural parts of the country have poverty issues without shooting each other. If poverty was the motivating factor in crimes, they’d be committing theft instead of having shootouts. Its the culture where “disrespect” is perceived as grounds to shoot someone. The only thing that fixes that is dads at home and keeping repeat violent offenders locked up instead of the constant slap on the wrist sentences until they finally kill someone.

Good cities contain the problem. We let it interweave and call it culture.

Someone tell Uncle Jed and Jethro to get Sheriff Granny out of here.

quote:No, we've been doing those things for over 50 years. Prisoners need to go back to kindergarten class and learn how to keep their hands to themselves and not talk back to adults. They don't have the foundational qualities learned in childhood to be a responsible adult. Until you fix that flaw in the individual, the problem will persist. And as long as politicians and activists excuse their behavior, it will get worse, not better.

Exactly. Places like NO refuse to even take step 1 and admit what the problem really is.

6% of the population is committing around half the murders. We’ve known this for some time.

Yes, we need to reform the prison system but not in the way you present. Go back to hard labor and work the prisoners from sun up to sun down 6 days per week. They get to go to church, have visitors, and rest on Sundays. No weight rooms, TVs or computers, and can only read for entertainment.

That’s an ignorant and dangerous way of thinking. They aren’t animals. They’re people. People are capable of change. People need worth and purpose. Christ can reform anyone’s heart and that possibility means we should always forgive and try to help rather than reject and dismiss a lost soul.
If they have passed the point of the ability to interact in society and they continue to choose a life of crime, that’s why we have a prison system. But the prison system shouldn’t just be a bottomless hell hole where we lock people away and forget about them.

Agreed.
If anything, crime has decreased since legal carry was recognized in NOLA.
But let's deflect, and somehow make it a 2A problem.
Granny needs get back to knitting and watching Matlock.

Yep. Need to make it scary again.
Instead of a second trip to jail I propose strapping a parachute on them and kicking them out of a C130 over Haiti.

You and cubbies can sing kumbaya together while these animals continue to murder innocent people.

I'll be down there next week, going to avoid bourbon street

Not on Bourbon, but I just came across this video.
