Guns will never be removed from the streets in America. We have more guns than citizens and no real way of tracking who owns them.

We should have more harsh penalties for violent crimes and free up some jail space by reducing penalties or releasing non violent drug offenders.

"They" can't fix the problem anymore than "we" can fix white on white crime.
This isn't a "fix the problem" issue. Once it's gotten to the point of the problems are occurring,it's gone way too far.
You've got to fix this individually one family at a time.
If you can establish a good ethic and respect for right and wrong, then "the problem" can solve itself.
In other words, fix families first.
If you're gonna have children out of wedlock at least do society a favor and raise the kids right.

We all know the solutions. No one will ever address them.

Serious answer?

They're all run by Democrats. We can start there. But no, let's kneel on national TV and not meet with the Mayors of the war zones and see what the problem is. Is it the police, is culture, is it gun control, is lack of accountability?

I’m gonna be blunt about this. It’s the truth harsh but the truth.




North Baton Rouge is TOO black.

"Yes, because then you'd be blaming black violence on black people, and telling them to take personal responsibility.”

Exactly, damn right! And I am not a racist for pointing that FACT out. Everyone says “we need dialogue and more talking” yet, we all know that white people cannot say a damn thing or face getting the scarlet “R” pinned to them. We hear a lot about the PoLICE, reparations, BLM, etc. The majority of blacks live on Govt assistance and are not incentivized to get free from it. The educated blacks flee to the burbs themselves. My black teammates will not even venture into several parts of Chicago. We bus the inner city kids into “white” schools only to watch those schools go down the sewer hole a decade later and even adversely affect the neighborhoods around the schools. There are solutions but I am convinced that if they do not come through the voices of black people, then it will be to little avail. Blaming the Police and the American Flag is just an excuse to blame everything on white people.

Absolutely no conflict resolution skills in certain communities.

I think everyone understands. It is the ever escalation of violence that I think they are incapable of dealing with. What used to end with an arse kicking is now resulting in someone's death.

As long as politicians keep getting elected promising to stop the crime nothing will change. The politicians know how to play the game. They promise something they know they can’t change by doing the same thing other people have promised. All they care about is getting elected

It’s not just BR though.


We had programs in NBR that were making a difference then SWB happened. She ran on getting the scalps of the officers that killed Alton Sterling regardless of what the investigation results were. So now how effective do you think the police presence is in NBR.

Enter at your own risk...

When it pulls it’s head out of it’s nostalgic bubble and faces the harsh realities. That doesn’t happen when we make a big deal out of an LSU basketball player getting killed and ignore the almost daily headlines with young kids who aren’t playing for LSU getting killed.


People in this area really need to do a LOT more traveling outside of their Destin to Houston Corridor. That would solve a whole hell of a lot of problems associated with the blind eyes we place on murder, crime in general, infrastructure, litter, and so much more that we just endure little good little soldiers.

Lack of a father figure.


Males tend to be more level headed and logical thinkers whereas women tend to be emotionally driven and reactionary.

Where are these people growing up? I’m households where all they see is a female overreacting to conflict so, through no fault of their own, they only learn to overreact.

You get the same result no matter the culture or skin color.

You and 5 buddies are wipping somebody's arse, someone steps in to take up for him, charges you and you think you can justifiably shoot and kill him?
