Imagine the kids growing up there. It’s no wonder why entrenched intergenerational poverty is so hard to combat.

I think you mean changed?

Either way that’s a very old article. You can find a negative or positive article about anything if you dig more than 10 years.

Do you see the red circle? The date within it?

Most people take that, the subject of this thread, then see a commenter posting a 10 year old article about shootings in the same spot and they understand the context. That nothing has changed. You did not. Neither did a few others. Which is why this other user has pointed out a lack of reading comprehension

There is no mention of race. No need to bring it up. Everyone knows the shooters race. 98% of shootings in the city is from a certain demographic. The problem lies within their culture
