U.S. children and teens are more likely to die because of guns than car crashes, drug overdoses and cancer.

    If you don’t recognize the simplistic motivations behind gang violence, you should consider yourself exceedingly fortunate.

    Check your privilege.

      Your claim is a blatant lie. That is a fact. Your feelings have made you concoct a blatant lie which you have repeated countless times in this thread.

          And yet, the zip codes with the highest rate of gang activity are consistently the zip codes with the highest homicide rates, and there is a strong social correlation between murderers and victims.

          I wonder why all these non-gang members go to areas of high gang activity to kill and be killed. I guess they’re just trying to frame innocent, hard-working criminals.
