    Not unusual, you will find the same thing in most big cities. Black men in Chicago are murdered at a much higher ratio than the % of population. Jim.

    Next we'll hear prohibited possessors are doing most of the shooting, and most of the getting shot.

    The story will die down and go away once it's shown that most of the people doing the killing of those poor young black men are other poor young black men... :rolleyes:

    Yeah, according to https://heyjackass.com blacks make up almost 80%of homicides victims. Other large cities close to me are Louisville and Evansville. Louisville is an even higher % than Chicago, Evansville is not quite as high but due to a much lower total number one or 2 homicides can make a big difference in %.

    Lack of male leadership in the community
    Busted families
    High education drop out rates
    Gang activity
    Drug use
    Drug economy
    Bad decisions
    So, what you're saying is, we need to defund the police?

    Lets see which politicians want to put forward solutions to these issues, and not just vague slogans

    I think a high publicity march (maybe on the canal walk, maybe invite the Mayor, Chief of Police and a bunch of religious leaders) would probably change the attitudes of the felons in possession and bring an end to the madness. Add purple to taste.
