If it’s a black on black murder, BLM and todays alleged civil rights leaders will say nothing so nothing to see....just move on.

Yep even saying “All Black Lives Matter” will get you called a racist.

Is it okay laugh?

Sad, RIP. Some of the comments on this thread are horrendous!

Being good is useless if you don’t have street smarts.

Some Freepers have been learning this the hard way lately.

Safe Streets outreach workers “mediate disputes in the hopes of de-escalating conflicts.” “They also lead public education campaigns and work closely …

They should stick to harvesting votes, social workers and violent criminals don't mix, that's why we have police.

I love dogs (sometimes more than people) but even I know that a rabid dog needs to be put down. Sadly Dante Barksdale neaver learned that lesson.

That’s why we have penitentaries, even Richard Pryor finally figured it out.

Baltimore’s “Safe Streets” Director Fatally Shot While Visiting Housing Project

Senseless murder! Here was a man against gun violence and devoted to making Baltimore streets safe.

What's the answer for hell-hole cities like Baltimore, Chicago etc. where the murder rate is worse than that in war zones? It's evident that democrat policies in these cities are not working. What will it take to stop this insanity?

Perpetual deployment of National Guard? Aggressive frisk and search? Marshall law/suspension of habeas corpus ?

Any suggestions for fixing our out of control gun violence in these hell-hole cities?

I disagree. The only thing that will help those communities is when the members decide enough is enough. They will have to realize the self appointed leaders are not acting in the community’s interest but their own at the cost of all.

Not according to my doctor. Laugh away. It’s good.

Nothing like a good spell of gallows humor to get my blood flowing. My sympathies go out to the victim's family, but reality can be a real beyotch.

How long before MSNBC blames it on Trump or the Proud Boys?

“Dante Barksdale, an anti-gun violence activist...”

I have trouble with the ‘gun-violence’ bit. It’s not the guns that are violent rather the people who shoot other people with them. How about being ‘an anti-violence’ activist?

As for the idea that violent gang-bangers are Robin Hoods (isn’t that cultural appropriation?) because they practice their violence in other neighborhoods, that’s just stupid.
