6 dead, 11 wounded across city overnight


Let's be honest. We all know what's driving this madness. The question remains, what's the best way of tackling it? Naturally, education, and jobs are always the first that come too mind. Yet, when you degrade, or slowly erode such resources, spikes in criminal activity rise.

The typical "knee-jerk" reaction is the howl for more prisons at the taxpayer expense. This, as we are fully aware, solves nothing but a budget deficit for localities, and states, or a boom for private prisons, which always ends with shitty service. So where are the educational opportunities that will lead to decent paying jobs our local and state legislators should be pushing for? Ah! You hear those crickets also. So much for that "Heat List".

We have dim-wits pushing a "conceal/carry" law. Shit don't work. We have elected, and non-elected people pushing "school closures". Shit don't work. We have an empty federal prison in the state they want to sell. Shit don't work. Unless our criminal justice system gets the memo, that these are indeed criminal, terrorist organizations, nothing they propose, will work.

Spikes in criminal activity will continue its rise unless you sit-down, legalize marijuana, designate those engaging in other narcotics, and murderous criminal activity as terrorist, then, and only then, you will soon see dramatic declines. Education is always the key. So wake up and learn from history.
