that is the larger question...Oh, OK. But what about the future gangbangers that will be born of these women who get paid more depending upon how many bastards they can squeeze out?
That's what I'm getting at with the "man behind the curtain."
This will always exist when people think that everybody is "given" what they have and that some are just "given" more than others. Some will just whine and be resentful and some will decide that "killing is the only solution."
This attitude is so commonplace in poor neighborhoods, I think that the attitude will just continue to breed more gangbangers. You can kill every single last gangbanger and there will be more bred to replace them.
Progressives / Socialists like Jacobson will theorize that if you take more from the rich and give it to the poor in order to make everybody the same class, all will be good. That's his point in doing the piece for CBS. He couldn't be more wrong.
As a great Christian saint from the 5th Century AD mused:
Should we look to kings and princes to put right the inequalities between rich and poor? Should we require soldiers to come and seize the rich person's gold and distribute it among his destitute neighbors? Should we beg the emperor to impose a tax on the rich so great that it reduces them to the level of the poor and then to share the proceeds of that tax among everyone? Equality imposed by force would achieve nothing, and do much harm. Those who combined both cruel hearts and sharp minds would soon find ways of making themselves rich again. Worse still, the rich whose gold was taken away would feel bitter and resentful; while the poor who received the gold form the hands of soldiers would feel no gratitude, because no generosity would have prompted the gift. Far from bringing moral benefit to society, it would actually do moral harm…
For what it's worth.
that is the larger question...Why are you adding me to your “kill’em all” canards?

That's why I keep saying that the only solution involves changing the attitudes of inner-city women, by changing the incentives offered to them.
Currently, they have an incentive to be the girlfriends of the most violent thugs, so that they will be protected from all the OTHER violent predators. They have no incentive to marry a guy with a steady working-class job, because he would need to have a middle-class income level before he could out-bid the set of benefits they have access to.
