Disagree. And even if you are right, the people today shouldn’t have so many guns if it’s the people that have changed.

There are close to 400,000,000 guns in this country. It’s far too easy for these teens and any other idiot to get their hands on guns and ammo. There is absolutely no common sense or mind for public safety in the ways we manufacture and distribute guns in America. A few very common sense measures would probably go a long way in reducing gun violence over time, but that would likely mean gun manufacturers would lose some money, and the NRA would lose some political influence, so we can’t have that.

Partisan? If thinking victims and their families deserve better and having contempt for the DAs office here makes me a Republican than I better update my voted ID card and see if I have an old red hat laying around.

The families bar is set far too low then.

They deserve better.

Article says the bail is “often done without DAs office being notified”

That’s fine, but an experienced and or more involved Ada might be more on top of things to know right away or very shortly after and thus inform their victims family

Krasners quote that the Commonwealth plans to address it at Mondays hearing.

TGIF baby, we’ll get to it after the weekend

Social media is cultural, increasing fatherlessness and destruction of the nuclear family is cultural, inability to handle conflict without violence is cultural, zoomers having increasing rates of suicidal ideation is cultural, young men becoming increasingly isolated and single is cultural.

>back in the day the neighbors were respected & helped keep an eye out on the kids on the block

That's not our culture anymore.

And I agree with your above statement, but if parents are working multiple jobs, then they may have less time/ability to be active in their children's lives.

There were always be the cloud of personal responsibility hanging over everything, but when the system is stacked against success...
