I am not going to argue with you, however, remember what I said
about an occupying force. Some attention has to be paid to the
underlying problem. It is my feeling that if not drug-related, the
shootings have something to do with gangs. The young need an
alternative to both. I know, perhaps we did not have such
alternatives and the direction should come from the home. Well in
many cases it does not and everybody is affected by the outcome.
Recreation will not stop it in the short term. We need boots on the
ground, but we also have to look at long-term solutions. In the end,
it will never change unless residents take responsibility and take
back the streets. Whatever it takes.
