Nobody is. Nobody will. Or at least, nobody outside of the communities where things like this are commonplace. While I work in a very rough neighborhood, I live in a relatively safe suburb, so I admit it's "easy for me to say" but I honestly believe that the only people that have any chance of cleaning up these places are the people that live there. I know that is not fair. One of the main purposes of our government is to provide safety and security for all citizens. That being said, and I suspect this is risky because bad guys hate "rats," but the people that live in the communities know who the gang-bangers are. They know where the drug dens are. Only when these people work closely with law enforcement can places get turned around.

Who is dealing with this crisis?
Tamar Manasseh is the founder of Mothers Against Senseless Killings, the group organizing the patrols. Each day from 4 to 8 p.m., a group of about 15 volunteers congregates near the 7500 block of South Harvard Avenue in the Englewood area to begin the community patrol. They cook hot dogs and hamburgers, sit in lawn chairs and walk the neighborhood.
A leading Black Lives Matter activist has defended the threatening chants leveled at police at a protest rally, just hours before three police officers were gunned down in cold blood.

The violence in Chicago and the streets of America is an issue that’s eludes a solution.
That’s one reason activists want to avoid it.
What can be done?
More police?
Better education for the inner city poor?
This kind of stuff:
