Damn Gentrification of North BR is taking its toll. Sad to see such a cultured area be torn apart by outside influence.

I just want to know how the Klan keeps getting away with all of these murders of innocent young black men. You would think someone would spot them in their white robes.

Well, that doesn't play to the victim status when you identify the real enemy of the black community as being, well, the black community itself.

Mayor Sharon Weston Broome released a statement on overnight violence in the city of Baton Rouge.

She says:

Again, our community experienced gun violence. There were mutiple shootings in a number of neighborhoods last night in our city. I witnessed a number of concerned citizens wondering if their family members were among the deceased. I also witnessed many spectators. We need people who witness the violence to say something. Do not be afraid to protect your own neighborhoods and families. Law enforcement officers are here to help, but they must know about these situations to get these criminals off our streets. This violence must stop... now. However, it takes all of us to make this happen.

Not a chance in hell. The same community who said absolutely nothing when 18 year old Bryant Lee, was murdered at a party in front of multiple witnesses. The McKinley High starting QB, with a 3.5 GPA slaughtered....not a word from da commoonitee.

So she's telling people to trust the very same cops she has demonized for years as cold blooded racist murderers

Yet if an "intruder" gets shot by "someone" protecting their home & family they will call for murder charges

These guys were probably boycotting the NFL games. Instead of staying home with family enjoying football. They got angry at players for disrespecting our flag and country and went out to shoot bad people.

Outside of a few it is all concentrated in a few areas. It's concerning for the obvious lack of respect of life in those areas and the total lack of cooperation.

The uptick, I've been told, is more due to a artificial decline in crime after the flood. Rates are just returning to normal.

That's also a good argument to flip on them. "Black people can't have guns because they'll inevitably kill each other"

Retort would be that white people commit mass murders with guns, and talking about school shootings.

Emotions dictate what stupid people do. Politicians bank on that

That depends on which definition of "mass shooting" is used. If some of the more loose terms of mass shootings are applied, then blacks commit far more mass shootings than whites.

Honest talk here...is anyone else really concerned about this recent crime uptick?


I hate to sound like this, but other than an Auntie or 2, the mother, and grandmother of the victims, it doesn't seem like anyone(even in the black community) are too concerned with black on black killings.

As long as they keep it in their neighborhoods, nobody cares.

And all someone has to do is call you racist, and they automatically win the argument. We've progressed so much as a country that name-calling wins over logic most of the time

Yeah, unfortunately that has now come to be considered a valid argument. Now that it has become a valid argument that someone can be a raging racist and not even know it, you can be accused of being the most vile person on earth despite being on the side of the people accusing you.
