Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What are the root causes of gang violence in the inner city?

As in the demise of the family unit, replaced by the "wolf pack".

It's about money and power and lower classes trying to get a piece of the pie though legal and illegal means. Inner city violance is nothing new, whether white or black. Look what the Irish had to do when they first came here. Shown in the movie "Gangs of NY".

Three pages and only two who understand. I can't believe that I have found something that I agree with Ringman on.

Most of you have identified symptoms of the problem ie; the environment those people are raised in.

But that's not the root of the problem.

The problem is how people choose to deal with their environment.

The ones who are raised with traditional Jewish / Christian morals and values deal with life's issues differently and rise above their environment.

There is no government program or social effort that will change that culture short of a religious revival.

Since most people choose to negate or ignore the importance of religion and don't want to "pass judgment" on anyone's values or lack of; it ain't ever gonna happen.

True. The girl I mentioned from Africa came from an area ruled by gangs that would make the bloods & crips here in the US look like pack of girl scouts. She got out and away from the gangs in a political situation by moving to a different country an a better and safe life.

The CAUSE here is they are pissin' an' moanin' about no jobs and woe is us. Jesse and Al as well as others of their ilk will have the AAs living under the gun into the next millenium.

Careful, there...

It's still caused by money and power.

Just an FYI.

They have no fear. They do not fear their parent(s), they do not fear the law, they do not fear death, and they do not fear God.

Is that something your friends told you....?

Agreed. Blacks have no family unit, no leadership, and an inbred aptitude for expecting a handout. As 6mmWasp said, the vast majority of blacks in South Africa behave the exact same way as ours do. They live like animals.

Lower the cost?

I beleive that all those problems are directly related to a lack of a will to work.

You take any normal human being, put him in a situation where he has nothing to do all day, every day but sit around and sooner or later it will lead to crime, drugs, etc.

Take about 4 generations of it and put them all in a housing project together and it feeds itself.

JOBS will cure about 75% of society problems.

I agree.

Every young bull needs an old bull to gauge his manhood. If there is not a "dad" in the home they will use a senior member of a gang as their yardstick.

Strange, I lived for three years in West Africa in a place where violence was rare (Ghana), certainly a place far less violent then, say, Working Class Northern England where I grew up.

Must be them Ghanaians on the one hand, and them yobs on the other, were practicing a different evolutionary strategy.

OK Bub, actual numbers again please

This .
They have never lived in a society -their recent ancestors lived like critters -and blacks would revert back to living like those ancestors were we white people not keeping them propped up.

gun-geek and kevin gibson the same person ? LAF'N

According to a guy who was at our school from the SAPD Gang Unit. When its over on the Black East Side its usually over money.

When its over on the Hispanic West and South Sides its more about machismo, ego, and women.

That weren't me that said that, just passing it along.

Yes, also with a strong helping of low class and integrity.

Unlike all them peaceful millenia passing by in Europe fer example

Well hey, read up on some actual history, start with the appalling levels of violence inherent in the Celtic clan systems.

*Sigh"... I said understand, not give a pass.... never hurts to understand one's enemy. With this particular kid I was concerned on account of I ride home on a bicycle after dark most nights.

Me being concerned that way is unusual, beyond the usual common sense I mean.




Ya, there was fourteen million of 'em in-country where I was during the three years I lived in an isolated village in what was essentially mud hut Africa, cant say fer sure how many I actually got to meet. Thousands certainly, plus a few hundred students.
