After Violent Summer of '18, Albany Continues to Search for Solutions

[GOYABEAN]

July of 2018 was a particular violent month in the city of Albany. In just two weeks, neighborhoods saw six shootings.

"It's personal violence. It is violence that has happened because of disputes between people who know one another, and who have chosen to unfortunately resolve those disputes by getting out a gun,” says Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan.

And while police presence is part of the solution, it isn’t the only one.

"We can't be everywhere. This is not going to work if what we have to do is put a police officer at every corner,” Sheehan says.

From the article:
"We're feeding kids, we're trying to educate kids, we're trying to keep them busy. We're trying to give them experiences they wouldn't experience on First Street,” says Muller, the pastor at Victory Christian Church in Albany.

How about we sterilize the people, who we are supporting through the welfare system? You know, the one's who have to rely on someone else to do all of the above!!
What the fuck??!! They don't have to get their lazy asses out of bed to go to work, so what the fuck else do they have to do? They sit around and bitch about how fucked up it is that "the man" seems to have everything, and "dey gots 'nuffin"!! !!

Fuck it, let 'em kill each other! Less for us to support! Maybe we should air drop some extra ammo there!!

What ever you do don't improve the city to get more business to it and lower taxes or anything else that would create jobs and Economic gains. This would all be too stupid to work. Searching for answers but not interested in solutions.

Can't do that. Gentrification is "racist" these days.
