Gee, maybe toughen bail and sentencing guidelines?

+1 and not let repeat offenders out to commit more crimes?

And all the folks 18 months ago who screamed abolish/defund the police act like it never happened.

But what I don’t understand is given that the vast majority of the victims are poor POC why isn’t there any outrage amongst that community. The democrats assume they’ll always have the poor POC vote and yet fail that constituency repeatedly. Why the blond loyalty to a party machine that is so condescending don dismissive of their needs?

There is! But marginalized communities often don't speak up. They often feel it won't do any good, or they are afraid to for other reasons (like immigration status concerns). Politicians don't hear them, so they don't care about them. Even if they pretend that they do.

Most of the murders are not being committed by people worried about their immigration status. Quite the contrary.

Blame gun people. Anyone who owns a gun is at fault. Each and every one of them. Your neighbor. Your husband. Your son. Your father. They are all guilty. They created this. They are responsible. The blood is on their hands.

Seeing as people are blaming the SUV for the parade thing, I guess anyone who owns one is to blame then too?

The vast majority are young black men, but we have to dance around that, of course.

We don't have to dance around that. We need to target the young, low-income, inner-city population and give them greater opportunities. Improve the class sizes and infrastructure in their schools. Create more neighborhood-based places for them to go. Send police out to interact with them in a positive way, making connections. Give them job training and help them learn the skills to find and keep jobs Our society hates to pay to be proactive, we only spend money when it's too late.

And, maybe.... just maybe..... do something about the absentee fathers.
I would love to see the stats of how many of these young people committing crimes are from a single parent home.

Pretending the looting wasn’t real (and excusing it) unleashed tremendous chaos. And the chaos disproportionately hurts minorities. So absurd.

Can anyone help me to understand why one must be soft on crime committed by blacks or undocumented immigrants if they support BLM and immigration reform?

The murder rate spiked last year, even in places like Des Moines. This is a people problem, not a political party problem.

Hasn’t the US been doing this since the Democrat’s Great Society programs? The answer, of course, is a lot of money was spent but little progress was made. Instead, the programs have perpetuated the issues by making marriage and paternal responsibility a rarity and by creating an industry to mishandle the programs.
