When teen hoop star Tayshana Murphy was chased and shot dead by gang members in her project in Morningside Heights in September, few knew her death was a double tragedy.

Of course! Who would gainsay that?
It’s interesting how the LSM ‘forgets’ those sordid little details.
The entertainment exeuctives made the thug culture cool and they should make it uncool now before any more souls are lost to it.
Sad, sad, sad.
Now that people like Ellen Degeneris and Rosy O’Donnell are praised and given TV shows and big salaries, Lesbian thuggery has become ever more acceptable.
God help the sweet little innocent girls who have to mingle with these butches in the schools every day.

I could not disagree with anything that you said about this situation.
When I was a kid growing up in the suburbs in the 1950s, I was corrected, when I was out in public away from my parents, by adults who did not even know me, and it never occurred to me to question that adult’s authority. (Don’t get me wrong I was a well-behaved little girl, but I was an adventurous tomboy, who needed to be told to stop doing dangerous things on occasion.)
Today, childen are not taught to show respect to any adults, including their own parents. They are not taught self-control and often do not see it practiced in their own homes. But I think the primary problem is what you spelled out — fatherless homes.
