Three articles with one solution for pushing these horrific shootings down, jobs. But let's be real about the type of jobs we are talking here. They are all low paying retail jobs. Now if you are talking about law enforcement, teaching, and other social services you are looking at a multi-year delay in fulfillment because they require college degrees.

In a nutshell, both the former and current top cop explained why this is happening. “You don’t erase decades of inappropriate treatment in a year, “You just don’t." The guy running for governor cites small business opportunities yet fails addressing the fact that banks will not lend money to certain people of color. Example: Prior to the Vietnam war Blacks owned many small "Mom & Pop stores".  When the war ended, they were pushed out by banks and the loans were given to, you guessed it. Fast forward to the middle east. The same shit happened again. Go into any black community and just look at the Muslim owned stores. The only alternative is getting that college degree so these neighborhoods can finally stabilize. But how do you do that? Well, you stop fucking around and fully fund public education with quality teachers.

I wonder what happened with that "known gang member list" the police have? I ask because we know these fuckers are repeat offenders. So, why can't the police check them on the street for gunshot residue? The federal agents are loaning them a mobile forensic lab, so why not round them up and test them? Another thing the city could do, is request some money from congress and ask residents if they want cameras installed on their homes or apartments for free? I bet many residents will jump at such an offer. It just never hurts to ask.

It's business as usual for the mayor and governor as they continue ignoring the carnage. As a matter of fact, the mayor is overseas "promoting Chicago". Seems like a tough sell with headlines like this. Oh well.

Like I've stated before, this is happening all across the country. The politicians could care less. Go into those neighborhoods and look around. What's there? A few family owned stores by people that don't even live there. Fast food joints. If they are lucky, they may have a nationally known grocer around. All the distribution centers and warehouses are out in the suburbs and public transportation is a nightmare. The politicians steal from public education funding. Everyone knows when there are no jobs, crime breeds. How many marijuana or poppy fields have you seen in an inner city? None. This is the end result when you steal from hard working taxpayers so you can give wealthy donors a tax cut. No money for public education. No money for repairing streets, highways, and bridges. Are you still wondering why?
