REGARDING:
“better their skills at lets say basketball. Which would lead to maybe a scholorship or semi-pro teams ”
A good way to keep people down is to convince them there’s easy money in some field which has a few highly paid winners and only a few participants total. Then millions get good at something for which there is basically no demand. This actually applies to drug money, basketball, football and sports in general.

We do have programs, they’re called prisons. I would bet even money that all three are repeat offenders. Most crimes committed come from career criminals. Build the prisons and keep them locked up.
I can’t wait until they make stricter gun laws. Then criminals won’t be able to get guns and shoot people! :OP
Here we go again with the youth of today having nothing to do. So sick of this . We grew up with nothing to do and did not turn to violence and drugs, Youth now a days have so much more opportunity to choose what they want to become. Further more these are not youths they are grown men, smart enough to choose what they should do in life . You have a choice in life good or bad . Let’s stop putting the blame on everything else and put it where it belongs on the person themselves.
If these kids would have a basktball game to go to, to better their skills at lets say basketball. Which would lead to maybe a scholorship or semi-pro teams where they can value their skill more than money, this would help our youth.
David Once again you have nailed it.
REGARDING:
“We have got to provide programs for our youth to get involved ”
People don’t go into drugs because they’re bored. they do it because it pays.
They don’t shoot each other because they don’t have a basketball game or some other activity to go to, they do it because they respect drug money more than human life.
David for better people
So sad that this is what some of our youth has come to. My heart breaks for all families involved in this awful situation. We have got to provide programs for our youth to get involved it. We have got to find a way to end this nonsense violence in OUR COMMUNITY.
