Approximately Six percent of the entire Population are part of a certain Demographic who are responsible for over half the Violent Crimes in this Country.
Most of those same Six Percent are Males.
It is much smaller percentage than that. Even if you are utterly pessimistic and imagine that half of young black men were habitual criminals the number would be roughly 1% of the population being responsible for more than 50% of violent crime.
I seem to recall a former police chief of Detroit (or maybe Chicago) saying that the bulk of crime in his city came down to just about 8,000 people, or about 1.2% of the population of the city, and that represents a city where the gang bangers are among the strongest numerically.
The overwhelming majority of their victims are black as well, for 5hey are the millstones hung beneath their neighbors’ wings.
If every last gang banger or every demographic suddenly turned up dead one day (no matter whose precious baby they may have once been) — and obviously all of their neighbors and kin swearing they neither saw nor heard anything and sticking to that story — then the very next day crime rates would collapse towards crime demographics overall (there would be residual effects but these would fade as the gang sub-culture sputtered out).
No longer living in fear and no longer seeing their posterity drawn into shorter lives of violence and crime the former victims of the gangs could begin to build for a better future.
But they will not turn against the gangs, and indeed if anything the gangs have a lot of input into the rhetoric and sub-culture that keeps them in place.
It’s like endlessly voting for Democrat control of a city and expecting better results … not gonna happen.
