Here is a story on the Korean immigrants who bravely try to make a living in their adopted country. www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-story-of-west-baltimore-can-be-told-through-life-at-one-intersection/ar-BBjXXW9They certainly have more fortitude than I will ever have. I understand that the black community does not perceive them as legitimate parts of the neighborhood, and are outsiders, providing some services, and probably too many liquor stores, but without these immigrant business owners the community has even less day to day businesses at their disposal.

On a side note, Chicago had a really good weekend. They only shot and killed one person, and only had thirty some shootings.
Either the victims are getting better at not being killed outright, or the shooters were having a bad day hitting their targets
Chicago did have a seven year old shot yesterday, walking home. Fortunately, just shot in the arm. He was targeted by three boys believed to be between 11 and 13 yrs old. Witnesses said it was an ambush as the kids walked from behind a garage, shot him, and casually walked down the street away from the shooting.

Baltimore just hit 100 homicides this year. Any ideas on how to fix the problems in a city like Baltimore? They have tried a lot of different things, spent a lot of money, and nothing seems to work.

"Baltimore was an obsession of the Black Lives Matter crowd and of the news media after the death of Freddie Gray from a terrible injury suffered in police custody. But now that 35 people have been murdered in the month of May, the highest in a month since 1999, the response has been muted.
A few Baltimore organizations are staging anti-violence protests, but they won’t command major media attention. There have been headlines and TV reports about the killing spree, but not ubiquitous calls for yet another national “conversation.”
Let’s be honest: Some black lives really don’t matter. If you are a young black man shot in the head by another young black man, almost certainly no one will know your name. Al Sharpton won’t come rushing to your family’s side with cameras in tow. MSNBC won’t discuss the significance of your death. No one will protest, or even riot, for you. You are a statistic, not a cause. Just another dead black kid, politically useless to progressives and the media, therefore all but invisible."

Until they change the way the sentences are served, not much will change. Any violent crime should be punished with hard labor-rail building, roads building, etc. 3 squares a day and a clean bed and cell, TV and gym is not a punishment, is more of a vacation. Just depriving them of the freedom to move is not enough.

No. Unfortunately, it's a result of not caring about anyone's life, even your own.
