What in the living hell are you talking about? Nobody seems to care? I guess when you just get your news from right wing propaganda organizations, the violence in the inner city only gets on YOUR radar when it's used as a cudgel by Trump and his GOP minions to make white people like you feel superior...AKA appeal to your racist impulses.
1. I can assure you that people and organizations in ALL the cities you named are speaking out and working hard to alleviate these issues. Politically, it's democrats, although they are far from perfect, but vastly superior to the republicans pointing fingers and saying...see it's those black people's fault because black people are bad at parenting. Why, a quick google search shows that even our "loudmouth," fairly incompetent mayor is attempting to address this issue https://www.boston.gov/news/500000-awarded-support...
2. Violence stems from poverty and lack of opportunity. Poor people and especially "blacks" are much, much poorer than white people and have inferior educational and career opportunities. If you were paying attention 2 years ago the Globe did a whole spotlight series on this: The household median net worth was $247,500 for whites; $8 for US blacks!!! Roll that difference around in that white brain of yours. Think about what you'd do if you and your family were trapped in a situation like that. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/12/11/that-...
3. Systemic racism is a thing so don't try to tell me, oh, if these people only pulled themselves up by their bootstraps like my family did, they wouldn't be in this situation. If you don't think so, I urge you to read this with an open mind. If that's possible. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/...
4. Let's say for the sake of argument that it's the DEMOCRATS that are the real problem, what are you and the REPUBLICANS proposing to do about poverty and racial disparities in the inner city. More police cracking heads? Stop and extra frisk? I'm all ears.
Also ignores gun control

Which is pushed for hard by Democrats but constantly undermined by the conservatives who have no problem watching guns flow illegally from easy access states to the cities. Because they don't care about black guys shooting each other mostly.
Gee, where do ya think the guns come from?

We all know these shooters are not purchasing their weapons legally from Massachusetts retailers - so do you think these young men are smelting iron and manufacturing their own firearms and bullets in abandoned Boston-area warehouses????
Massachusetts has the strictest firearm regulations in the nation but not all states are created equal. We can have ultra-strict gun regulations in one state while a neighboring state(s) have very little regulation and much less barriers to purchasing a firearm and little or no methods of tracking the sale of guns by private individuals.
The firearm regulations in neighboring NH and ME are much less strict compared with MA and we know statistically that more than 50-60% of the guns seized by law enforcement in MA are traced to other states. NYC, Chicago and other large "Democrat" cities with so-called strict gun laws have the exact same problem - a large majority of the firearms used in blue state crime can be traced directly to abutting red states with lax gun laws.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/20...
https://www.wbur.org/news/2014/02/24/gun-trafficki...
"Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Virginia — are common sources of firearms for most of the states for which we compiled data. Those states are also ones in which gun laws are not among the most stringent."
Notice anything about those states?
Or is there something about this clearly compiled data that you and republicans refuse to acknowledge? That generations of whites have supported the de-regulation of firearms which has and continues to result in Americans of all shapes, sizes and colors to wipe themselves out in wholesale acts of violence.
You clearly acknowledged the aspect of race - now that it is acknowledged, which is something you apparently want liberals like myself to do, what's next??? What is your conservative/republican solution? At least liberal politicians have proposed solutions to gun violence that may or may not work but I guess we'll never know because the conservative side of American politics is absolutely terrified of enacting any form of firearm regulation out of the fear that it will clearly show indisputable and measurable results (see the Dickey Amendment, 1996).
The fact is, the number of national firearm deaths would absolutely be reduced if all 50 states had the same regulations in place that Massachusetts currently has. It's just a simple math problem, really. I wish conservatives in red states would grow the balls to acknowledge this and have the courage to take responsibility.

Disclaimer: I am born and raised in rural Western PA and grew up hunting deer and shooting guns from a young age. I am a big fan of MA's much more strict regulations and advocate for similar federal policies.

That's really amazing how you can tell the skin color of murderers by their victims. You should consider using your incredible powers for good /s

Everything except the National Guard walking the streets has been in place for years now. I guess you don't live in the inner city or visit much.
That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

"Generations of young blacks are wiping each other out in wholesale acts of violence"
All but three of these cases are individual homicides. The other three cases were double homicides. That's like the exact opposite of "wholesale acts of violence."

Thank you, Adam, for sharing this list. It's important that the victims of violence not be forgotten.

This is not the place or time for victim shaming, political bashing or anything else. It's a time to remember & reflect of the lives lost to violence. I pray for all of these people and their for lllllllfamilies. They are gone, but sure NOT FORGOTTEN.
Thank you for doing this,and request for an addition/correction

Looking through the list and your linked stories, Jose Martinez was killed in a double murder case, but Christian Green (the second victim) doesn’t seem to be on your list. I don’t know either man, but since your post is likely the most-read testament anywhere to all these lives lost too soon, can you please add Christian to the summary?
Thanks, and my apologies for the omission

So listen... The reason why murders are down is because long standing neighborhood alliances have shifted due to various reasons I’d never get into. But being that this was happening between major neighborhoods back to back to back it sent a shockwave that kinda froze everybody. Things died down due to the fact that certain hood to hood personal relationships that were built thru those alliances delayed the inevitable fallouts. Hopefully those that have cut ties can agree to disagree, being that most of the fallouts haven’t been due to direct bloodshed. But it if you know, you know...
