What's going on? Why are so many people being murdered? This seems like a war, but over what?

There are plenty of educated black parents in the black community.Don't make stupid comments.Do yourself a favor and don't harp on folks when you have no room to talk about education you yourself cannot spell!

While I agree there are many more black families doing the right thing and just wanting to raise their families and live a life without having to dodge bullets, you can't ignore the problem in the urban black community. By ignoring the problem, you are not helping. The major cause of death for a young black male is another young black male. This is a loss for all of us.

Pro tip: if you have to add "don't call me a racist" to your comment, then you are not speaking truth to power; you are being a racist dickbag.

I haven't seen anything that gave the races of anyone involved.

Every inner-city in this country is a high crime area, black people make up 13% of the population but commit 50% of the violent crime.

It's gang related. I live in the area, and while there's more than enough good people and strong families around, there's certainly a lot of gang activity permeating through.

Why the uptick, though? Did something happen, like a power vacuum, to make them fight like this?

Although I doubt this would account for recent shootings, I do wonder what will happen as more defendants get released because of the ongoing drug lab scandal.

I'm not sure myself, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to be part of "the game" to know certainly. From my experience, it seems that these things tend to go in waves; one side hits the other, the other hits back, and so on and so forth.

It's not gang related at all he was a innocent victim how rude of you to assume shit like that

I think you meant to say that he is "AN innocent victim". Grammatically speaking you generally can't place two vowel sounds in direct succession. Your article was in the wrong place at the wrong time (again, grammatically speaking).

It was not gang related the person that died was not part of any gangs he was just sitting on his porch when someone started shooting

The lesson we teach as a nation is when others don't comply to your wishes, you can try talking to them, then threaten them, then go to war with them.
