Absolving inner city residents from sane behavior isn’t the same as promoting civil rights. Telling us somebody else is to blame for personal killing sprees, etc. in the Black community grants green lights for much more of the same. Add the current financial version of suspended animation afflicting the inner city and this behavioral brew approaches a historic boiling point. One private solution is drawing national lines in the concrete and culturally ousting those who think crime is their personal civil right. Giving them the boot in thought, word, on flim, in song and by our deeds is what is sorely needed. Otherwise, the Black community and America lose together on an unimaginable scale.

Two Black men who all but gift wrapped someone the police had been looking for couldn’t possibly be concerned about public safety, like, two White men in the same position. Needless to say that tells us there are many moons to go in inner city/police relations. Were it not so tragic it would be funny because receptions like these provoke a community gag order when officers come around asking if onlookers have any information about a crime under investigation. When I was a kid, the welcoming committee in blue may have tried to arrest us for simply entering a precinct under color of Blackness. Is our experience progress- well, it’s something.

The blog Republicans United has a great piece out on Gun legislation and the Republican Party. The article lays out some good ideas that the Party can utilize with regards reducing crime.

Those who quickly came up with, “None!” have addressed where I feel inner city America is headed- at warp speed!

Hometown security is a phrase generally …

Crime is a game. While playing it carries life or death consequences, it’s still a game nonetheless.
The easiest way not to be behind bars as a private citizen-player is not to commit crime. Barring that, being very, very smart about the crime you commit seems the way to go.
Police-players in the game know they have to answer not only to command staff but nay number of monied, mouthy folks whose high income equal high priority in the criminal justice food chain.
Lower income players, given their lack of political clout (i.e ability to affect officers employment, promotions, pensions, etc. …

When White mobsters waged war on 1930s America with tommy guns blazing, they were met by a public and private alliance that matched them bullet for bullet in many cases until the major ones were either dead or imprisoned. The same held true for their post-Civil War predecessors who decided to conduct a personal war against banks, stagecoaches and trains in search of other people’s money….
Fast forward to 21st Century America and White gangsters still exist, as do their counterparts in the inner city whose reign of terror continues unchecked.
Liberals and pragmatists state that declaring war on urban …
