You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Gang k*****g, especially over drugs, is rampant in Chicago. Trump has been trying to get this message through to America since he took office. Something needs to be done about the problem in Chicago, Baltimore, Miami, and many other cities where it is so bad, police don't even want to go into the bad neighborhoods. Minorities are k*****g each other. If Trump really was the r****t that Democrats paint him, he would try to ignore the problem, as Obama did. Let them k**l each other; then there will be fewer of them! Right? But that is wrong. Dr. Ben Carson got to the heart of the problem when he pointed to the shortage of fathers in the home. Far too many children in the hood are born out of wed-lock. There is no father figure to help raise and shape the child's social life and moral values. And, if the mother is working, there is no mother around to help guide the child. So the child's "family" becomes the neighborhood gang. The family problem must be fixed; just throwing welfare and food stamps at it only makes it worse.
I'm sorry, Common, I'll get off my soapbox now. I get carried away. But I get upset about blame being put on all the wrong people and nothing substantive being done.

Glad to see we can agree on at least one thing then, I hope to find agreement with you on further issues as well.
