I think its better to say that every background has a particular issue to deal with, face reality everyone....honor killings, child molestation, serial killing, gangster life. The bottom line is that the people in charge of our safety constantly drop the ball when it comes to protecting us! The mentality of our government when a man is mugged is "Why was he there to get mugged?" Ive lived in areas of scarborough growing up since my family moved here in the 70's. I went from Gilder, to Trudelle, Orton Park, a little bit in the west in Jungle. I came out just fine and have my family with me in Ajax, so please refrain from that "I didnt have a daddy so Im gonna be gangsta" crap. I dont GAF what reverend u saw on TV saying that crap, hes out there for camera time like all these other public figures, how much credence do u give to Al Sharpton when he talks? Trust me black people give him none. The problem is that alot of people existence is justified by this violence, so no one does nothing to stem it. How could the police beg for more cops on the street if everything was good. There a questionable cops who are supplying these guns to the kids on the street. (Sgt. Wong I believe his name is as an example, arrested by another force in possession of illegal handguns) and for those who say its about gangs and drugs, who do you suppose is making up the majority of drug sales.....the kids and parents from the 'burbs. Ya i can see u saying poor parenting is a factor in making these kids more suseptable to influence by older gangsters who need these kids to avoid being charged themselves, but its is not the major factor in this, not even the need for outreach and baseball and blah blah blah. Scrap the YOA, put five years on each bullet in the gun, ten for every fired bullet and an automatic ten for having the gun in the first place. Our government needs to be held by the shoulders and shaken violently, theyre too busy protecting diddlers and wannabe gangsters to care about average joe and jane's right to live peacefully. Establish that our problem starts at the top and u begin to create a solution.
