Even if jobs weren't being cut right now (namely service and government jobs) and even if some of these "soldiers" and even "civilians" were given access to them (regardless of education or merit)--would they really take them? How would they be able to keep those jobs? <br />You made a choice to do well in school and become an attorney, a choice that some people within that soldier-civilian community would look down upon or ridicule for "working for the man", or "acting white"--just as taking a service/government job would be. Really job creation is the only thing that Obama can do...and he can't just create money and opportunity out of thin air, plus there are plenty of other folks struggling right now that don't have that cultural dissonance with "working for the man," and would gladly take those jobs.<br />How will media attention help the situation? The only thing the media can do is to generate people to blame the community (after all it isn't happening to them and their community) which will make the community either feel shamed or defensive and place blame somewhere else besides on their own values and attitudes that create the problem. <br /> <br />I was recently asked by my nine-year-old nephew who is being raised in a city that isn't as violent as Philadelphia, but definitely impoverished, whether I was planning to have kids with my fiance. He then matter-of-factly told me that I should have more than one because then I will get more "stuff." He is living with his single mother who did not complete high school with two brothers from two different fathers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-83015513218863817572012-07-23T05:56:51.441-04:002012-07-23T05:56:51.441-04:00"So things aren't as bad as you make them..."So things aren't as bad as you make them out to be, Field."<br /><br />I know a few cops here in Philly who would say otherwise.field negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411743587725023134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-47148260476024216542012-07-23T02:25:01.514-04:002012-07-23T02:25:01.514-04:00Massachusetts and Hawaii have stricter gun control...Massachusetts and Hawaii have stricter gun control than Illinois does and they have far less shootings than Illinois and Pistolvania.

Baby + baby momma + baby daddy = three individuals. The first equation produced children that had a sense of caring for others as well as children with a sense of guilt. We act according to the labels that are placed on us. A father usually act differently than a baby daddy. So I can understand the label of "soldier and civilian". This mentality of acting out the label of soldier will only present them as prisoners or death statistic in due time. Stop with that dead rap about "dealing dope is the only way out". The Grayhound leaves most urban areas every four hours. There are other options ........ Many people have done the lawful things and survived.

Once you have the stiffest gun control laws on the books, you should probably look at the root of the problem... "Three men are dead and at least 23 other people wounded from gun violence across the city since Friday night."<br /><br />In fact, Chicago police superintendent Garry McCarthy is "accentuating the positives" of the bloody results of his city's oppressive gun ban, which prevents only the law-abiding from defending themselves by force of arms:<br /><br /><br />McCarthy noted this weekend's numbers were half the total of shootings for the same weekend last year. He also said that while 2012 shootings are up by eight percent over 2011, they've decreased considerably since March when the year-to-year increase was 40 percent...<br /><br />...McCarthy also said the murder rate is well below the record of 970 set in 1974, although it's still on pace to reach 450 murders and that the murder rate is increasing as overall violent crime in Chicago is showing a decline.<br /><br />In other words, an Aurora massacre occurs every 10 days in Chicago, the gun-control capital of the U.S. Like Washington DC, New York City, Mexico City and London -- to name but a few -- "gun-free" cities are truly areas where the innocent are targeted by predators who have no intent to follow any law.<br /><br />The masterminds who think they can banish evil from the world by banning guns must reject all of human history, as well as logic and reason, to promote their unconstitutional schemes.<br /><br />http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2012/07/an-aurora-massacre-takes-place-every-10.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-63134598696360170312012-07-22T20:49:36.403-04:002012-07-22T20:49:36.403-04:00http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/...http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-woman-wounded-in-englewood-shooting-20120720,0,705754.story<br /><br />21 shot in Chicago in less than 24 hours. :(field negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411743587725023134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-7854195120223907362012-07-22T16:41:31.389-04:002012-07-22T16:41:31.389-04:00supreme work on this one, my good man! i'm nev...supreme work on this one, my good man! i'm never disappointed on my breaks when i get a chance to read your blog.

And of these the majority of both victims and killers are as you pointed out "soldiers" in the various gangs plaguing the city, particularly north Tulsa. These killings ate in the news almost daily locally, but get no national coverage. I suppose the Good Friday shootings of five innocent black people by two racist white men specifically targeting blacks did. God bless the good people who can't move from these crime riddled areas .I seldom agree with you Field, but on this I do. It seems to me that no one cares when black on black killings occur.
