It's not always Blacks, of course, around here historically Indians have been targets, and more recently Latinos. It sometimes seems like we humans have a baked-in instinct for "different is bad" or "different is dangerous". > > http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/07/13/unpacking-the-knapsack-of-privilege/ > > Also, about two months earlier, two kids were shot while walking > down a street in that area.

When it's gang related, the prevailing public opinion seems to be "let them shoot each other, we don't care". Until some little kid gets nailed by a stray bullet. It bothers me too.

Sometimes there's a good reason, but that should be determined by others who have absolutely no personal or employment relationship to the shooter.
