[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many hateful people on this thread.  We are one state.  When murder in a part of the state is suddenly skyrocketing, while it’s dropping nationwide, it’s not smart to spew racist generalizations and ignore it.  There are children in Baltimore who need a safe space to grow. I live in MoCo but Baltimore’s kids are part of my village.[/quote]

"As long as my children are taken care of I could care less about "those" people..."  this mentality is why the country is the way it is today.  People are concerned about their immediate household and have zero compassion for others.

The problem with this thinking it never ends well for anyone. As those neglected inner city kids turn to crime, drugs, and other bad things and we still end up paying for it through more prisons and welfare or having those folks come out to the suburbs or wealthy neighborhoods and committing crime there.  We could have avoided those things by making proper investments in education (not just throwing money at the problems either), job training, and ultimately more jobs so they wouldn't have to turn to stealing and drug dealing.  It's not difficult.

It is funny how you don't see a Baltimore or Detroit in Canada.  Get it together America![/quote]
