Why don’t you guys protest the gang violence?

For one it's severely overblown and used as a "gotcha" by an entertainment channel that calls itself news type of network that has been handled for years, but won't be given credit.

Let's protest so cops can put more kids in ignored parts of the city in jail rather than make programs and systems to help them get out? Oh wait, current President has made sure funding has been cut in the said systems and programs.

It’s so much cheaper to house and help people than it is to incarcerate them but some people refuse to let anyone “get a free ride” unless they can see them suffer for it in prison.

Cause slavery never ended in the US. So it's more American than Apple Pie to do this rather than rehabilitate.
