You know it's the truth but keep making excuses for those savages I'm sure they appreciate it as they spray down innocent bystanders on the daily.
Look how dumb your idea is breh.

You want people to go out and shoot at criminals.

Well that's exactly what these gang members are doing. Shooting other criminals. So in that sense they are already attempting your "solution". Problem is, as we've learned time and time again, it's not always the correct person that gets shot. Which results in stories like the one in the op.

So your planned "solution" is to basically do exactly what the gang members are doing. But you wanna call them savages.

Yall gotta start thinking this stuff through before you type it out:smh:

I apologize but I still disagree that jobs and opportunities will stop the killings. It's deeper than just finding a job.

History shows us that is the solution. There's really nothing to disagree with.

Human beings will never stop killing each other. But on the specific issue of poverty inspired violence. Jobs and opportunity is the only answer.

Chicago
I thought they knocked down all the projects in Chicago
@Barnett114
They did, and that is the reason there is so much violence. The dealers who ran the projects spread out into the streets, and in doing so had to fight for territory already spoken for. Same shyt that happened on The Wire, is happening here as a result of that.

Don't get me wrong I'm sure jobs and opportunities can alleviate the situation. But what about the mentality of those kids growing up in proverty? The gang lifestyle is deep in chicago. WSHH did a great piece on Chicago and gang culture. I will link the video when I get home or you can look it up on YouTube.

Plenty of people have been rehabilitated from gangs. Plenty of people committing gang related crimes don't really want to be there. Some real opportunity, and positive outlooks would go a long way. And I'm not talking Walmart jobs. Im talking real lucrative career opportunities.

Sure some people will remain destructive, but there is no real answer for them. That's part of humanity

The main ones putting together these anti-violence projects are former gang members themselves.

What do you suggest?

:jbhmm:

start by shaming them. roll your eyes and laugh all you want

but our community is the only community in the free world that doesn't attach a negative stigma to abhorrent or sociopathic behaviors - even the church gives nikkas a pass...think about it

got 4 baby mommas and 5 kids outside of wedlock? (don't judge!, marriage is for white people anyway!)
you sell dope? (don't judge! the system is set up for us to do this shyt!)
dropped out of high school? (quit judging tom!, the education system is designed for us to fail!)
just wanna sit around and play madden and smoke weed all day? (like you perfect! they ain't gonna break the glass ceiling no way!)

where's the incentive to not be a drug dealer? not get a bunch of hoes pregnant? not drop out of school?

on one hand we're telling these young black kids to get and education and put down the guns, but then we tell them that the world outside of the ghetto is cold, scary, racist, doesn't want you, etc etc...

this is why we need to get all these fake ass revolutionaries and wanna be poverty pimping hustling nikkas out the way - they're the ones pushing this agenda to fatten their pockets...will that happen? probably not, but you asked me what do I suggest and this is it. :yeshrug:

You're really saying the Black community doesn't chastise negative behavior? You think this?
:jbhmm:

"but then we tell them that the world outside of the ghetto is cold, scary, racist, doesn't want you, etc etc..."

Is that not somewhat true? What's wrong with telling the kids to do right, but without sugarcoating things and being naive? Just replace all of that with "The Real World is tough" and they're basically saying what Whites tell their kids also. The world IS racist whether you want it to be or not. What's wrong with balance?

Here we go the music debate again. Could it be that the conditions we live in are what influence the music and not the other way around?
:mjpls:
People forget that most rap/hip hop sales are to young suburb kids with the money...it's a crab in the barrel mind complex from way back to was put into our ancestors way of living in some ways. But now there's drugs and gangs involved and few to go against it.
