While this is a very sad story, it mentions the murder rate this year in Newark NJ is 91, in Baltimore MD it its 191....but that doesn't get much press. 
273,000 people in Newark (.00033 murdered)
631,000 people in Baltimore (.00031 murdered)

In contrast, Oakland has had 3-4 murders a day the last week. That's running above the normal 1-3 shootings a day that happen in the Oakland/Richmond East Bay area.
Local liberals blame the lack of services and guns for the nearly 100% black on black youth violence.
Truth is most of these shooters use illegal guns and make more money from drug sales and gang activities than they would with a job. Also, most live at home with a single mom collecting a welfare check.
Someone needs to take responsibility for the gang/hip-hop culture which places very little value on human life. I can't believe we allow this to continue.
