South Highlands shooting-Shreveport 12 year old girl shot inside her home

quote:

---

3 cars shooting at each other

Nobody can help that community nor change that culture except for those that seem to be content enduring it.

I feel like the only folks that care are those on the outside looking in. Ill bet anything that the PD canvassed the area and nobody saw nothing. I hate that the innocent suffer. How did not one of those people in the three vvehicles involved not soak up a round? Just one child in their home?

I hate to say it but these folks choose this for themselves. Only they can "take the city back".

"We've got to take the city back.

Elect leaders who are tough on crime and don’t show leniency for first time violent offenders.

They get shot inside their house on a Sunday afternoon," said neighbor Thomas Cochran. "We've got to take the city back."

That ain't the ghetto, it's not far from sketchy areas but Fairfield is a bunch of historic mansions and the wealthy who's who of Shreveport old money, look at the house in the picture.

Let's see what r/Shreveport has to say. Ahh, it's societies fault. Poverty breeds crime. Not enough programs. They ain't never learned no better and ain't got no better opportunities. We're all responsible for this murder

And it will take intentionality. We must act in a coordinated way across departments and jurisdictions to solve this. It’s all connected — education, public safety, social justice, economy. We have the power to change our trajectory, but as you said, it will take time even if we are strong and thoughtful with our response. But to do nothing means nothing will change

There’s too much poverty, and too little opportunity for strong education and career here in Shreveport. It will take a lot of action and many years to divert Shreveport’s communities from this path.

The shots came from a rolling shootout between two gangs. Poverty leads to crime because people need to be able to support themselves. Unfortunately some kids are put into a box and they think joining a gang is the best way out.

quote:

When the city steps up and recognizes why things like this happen. That’s the mayor, the council, the departments, the parish, and us as individuals. Believe it or not, there is no Superman coming. We are all responsible for what happens here.

quote:

I’ll say it again: We are all responsible.

Weird how shootouts only seem to regularly occur among the poor of one demographic and in cities.

Yea that’s not the hood. Those are nice houses in the pics.

More midnight basketball and social workers!
