Suspects tell the police they killed someone who "disrespected" them or a family member, or someone who was "mean mugging" them, which the police loosely translate as giving a dirty look. And more weapons are on the streets, giving people a way to act on their anger.

The article dances around ethnic and racial and illegal immigration issues related to this reported upsurge in murders, but strangely the reasons are still portrayed as mysterious and unknowable. It couldn't be that PC is preventing an esteemed news source such as the New York Times from frank and honest reporting, could it?

Let me see. "Disrespected"? "Mean mugging"? 'He bumped into me,' 'He looked at my girl the wrong way,', "even after the person gives up, the guy with the gun shoots him anyway. We didn't have as much of that before."
