The politically correct reasons (from the left) who to blame...

“It’s a big issue. It’s a long time coming. We’ve done a lot of things wrong in policing in this country. I’m willing to admit that,” said McCarthy. “But this goes back 200-300 years to the time when Pilgrims came here and things developed from that, the African American experience in this country.”

Then WVON host Warren Valentine chimed in, blaming the Jim Crow era....The radio host also blamed vagrancy laws enacted during U.S. Reconstruction and the current war on drugs, a war he believes unfairly targets the African American community.

A representative for Operation Push agreed that economic empowerment is part of the solution.

“We have got to replace the level of poverty in certain neighborhoods with some reinvestment. You cannot keep saying it is just these bad kids. These are bad communities because they have no infrastructure to change the behavior. You’ve got to have some jobs. Jobs in, guns out,” said the spokeswoman.

But for decades, vast sums of money have been poured into poor communities on Chicago’s South and West sides.

Where has the money gone?

They already do have that right, and it's exactly what they should do to deter violence. Imagine a 1000 guys with Gatling guns driving around Chicago suppressing murderous thuggery.

The last time I suppressed murderous thuggery with a Gatling gun, a lot of people died. I hope they were the right ones.
