Another Shootout in Public
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
Society has not given the perpetrators good paying jobs, which is why they are engaged in criminality and shooting in public. They are victims of systematic racism, poverty and discrimination.
So sad. So sad
So sad. So sad
Society not giving them jobs has nothing to do with it. You want to be a bad man and make bad choices that's what happens. And by the way Society should not have to give anybody anything they should be earning it

Have you ever spent any significant amount of time in the hoods?
or did you grow up, without the stigmatism, without the barriers and fairly clear paths to that opportunity.
Straight up. I was a delinquent in my youth. Spent time in a group home too. A lot of teenage friends were from one such area. In my early 20s I realized I was on a fast track to the grave or jail. Some one ( family friend) got me a job “in the mail room” at a big bank on Bay street…
Not a chance any of my black friends would have gotten that chance.

Yes I grew up in the hood (as you call it ) and made some very bad choices and payed for it. I volunteer with under privileged kids. The one thing I know is if your relying on society to give you anything your going to be disappointed and poor.
I’ll agree with that. But at the end of the day, the “opportunity” has to be there. And that does come from society…. And while things are better today. All we really need to do, is look at “the problems”..
Class mobility. Lots of studies on this. All kinds.

lol. This is Toronto not late 80s Bronx. Nothing wrong with the where you grow up, it's the mentality.
We need to block American influence and increase punishments for crimes.

agree with all but “not the Bronx late 80s”..
I don’t have time to dig a couple things up. But the FBI and others warned Canada about street gangs back in the late 80s. “Coulda Shoulda Woulda”…….But the left and the public thought Registries were needed…….
But on that topic.
What really cleaned up New York
The city\'s extraordinary, continuing decrease in crime had little to do with Giuliani. An expert explains why

Golly gee whiz, by lowering the hammer on the problem. They went from one of the worst, to one of the best….
And yet so many Canadians, so entrenched by left wing dogma, and more. Magically seems to have forgotten all about how crime riddled and bullit riddled NY was back in the 70s, 80s, 90s.
Last I checked Americans still can get guns, New Yorkers too. Even gasp carry permits ( though that’s exceeding hard)
That is a very naive statement, there are parts of this city that are every bit as dangerous as some cities in the US you are either living in a vacuum or are in complete denial
Lowkey I actually feel like you’re cosplaying on here as a black male to push some sort of agenda…..
You ask anyone that's been in the life and they will tell you that if they had the opportunities there are today they probably would have made better choices but asI’ll agree with that. But at the end of the day, the “opportunity” has to be there. And that does come from society…. And while things are better today. All we really need to do, is look at “the problems”..

One guy told me after doing 5 for manslaughter "hind sight is 20x20"
Thus the need for a "sarcasm" font.
The problem is there's a lot more money to be made selling drugs, stealing cars and being a criminal than getting a job working for someone else.
With super strict border controls, how are these hand guns getting into the country.
