AOG - "l cannot understand why you make the excuses, that these killing thugs are the product of being brought up wrongfully and of the Government's lack of interest in them."
If you re-read my post again, you will observe that I have not attempted to exuse gang violence in any way. The entire thrust of my point is what can be done in the future to prevent this ongoing cycle of disaffected and violent youth. My wish is for proper support and cash injection for nursery education, so that a proper society can be built from small children upwards, which will take several generations to bear fruit. Except that no government is interested in doing this, because it costs long-term expensive investment, with no immediate dividend for the investing government, so it will never happen.
Yes, these killing thus are the product of bad upbringing and the lact of government interest in them, but that does not in any way condone or excuse what they have done, and the full force of the law should make an example of them.
"Could not be because they happen to be black could it?" I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and assume that your attempted irony is in somewhat dubious taste, and highly likely to be misinterpereted, as print observations can, as I have pointed out many times.
On the outside chance that you mean this comment seriously, the answer is No.
