Yea. You said it was on them.
I think you're playing Jenga with my argument.

lso we should be publically shaming the drug users and addicts that support these gangs and miscreants. We should be making the connection between their habits and the killings. News article should highlight this fact:
"Drug users complicit in weekend drug gang shootings".
More accurately: law makers who gave drug trade to criminals complicit in weekend gang shooting.
Was it doing that one post per page thing? Because it was doing that to me too and I think it was a glitch.
Depends on what is entailed by getting "our undies in a wad".Should we get our undies in a wad over the spate of gangland shootings that are occurring in large cities like Chicago and Baltimore? Or should we stand back and let them solve this problem themselves through attrition?

Are gangland shootings not a big enough deal to be concerned about?Making a bigger deal of it than it actually is.

So, Dirty Harry not being concerned about what led to these things happening and why is a good thing?Dirty Harry nailed it.
There are lots of problems that have simple solutions, but they are so profitable for those at the top that they are being milked for all they're worth. Why kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Wasn't talking about his job, but concerned about it. I have many concerns about things that aren't my job.That wasn't Dirty Harry's job. The why left the station long ago.
In that regard why don't these drug gangs use that money to help their neighborhoods instead of getting them all hooked? Lot's of money comes in from the outside, from white people. If they were smart it could be a four-way win.

That's a good question. Maybe we should look into what reasons (situational, choices, etc.) people would do things like that and assist in the things we can?
Now we're getting somewhere. If the drug dealers would help their communities and reduce their violence the cops would likely back off from enforcement. Of course we would need them to raise their prices to help cover other costs associated with the users. We could actually make lemonade out of this lemon.
Great!Now we're getting somewhere. If the drug dealers would help their communities and reduce their violence the cops would likely back off from enforcement.

Great!
How do we go about that, aside from endorsing more drug usage, killing them or giving them a print out of your list?
The cynic in me says that wouldn't happen. A large reason why weed is so illegal is because of Nixon, who amped up the war on drugs despite knowing pot was safe in order to villanize and disrupt the communities he didn't like.
That is indeed a sad thing.I guess we're not getting somewhere after all.
