I spent many years policing public housing units so I get it. It still pisses me off to this day because there are a lot of children we are writing off. The facts are clear - leftists policies have coddled a failed culture and they have made you and me pay for it. The facts are also clear that we are condemning the children who still have a chance because we are afraid to speak up.
It’s time for change in the inner-city and if the power brokers in the hood don’t like it that is too damned bad. It’s time for the adults to fix this because it is unacceptable and we have invested enough with the crooks who run it. It’s about what is right - not race.
If it were up to me there would be a lot of different policies and aggressive policing and incarceration going on along with a cessation of benefits to those promoting the problem. Just my .02 and you have a stronger stomach than me to live there. It is bad enough watching it from afar. I get the dark humor as a way to cope, but it is not the answer for the children who are stuck there.
Short of miraculously finding another Mayor Rudy for Chicago and even more miraculously - having the “community leaders” support it the only answer would be to cut funding and I would not want to live there when that happens.
No government policy exists which can make life better for those who have turned their backs on godly virtue. If there did, we wouldn’t need Him, and could place our faith in socialism and its technocrats.
