we got that going on daily in philly. families houses getting burned in middle of night. their kids killed in drive by and dad takes off and leaves his kid in the street. this guys wife stabbed thirty times. Plus no one will call cops as the whole family will get wiped out. no one is talking about the shooting going on for fear of getting killed. I do not understand why msn don't put their investigative reporters on the gangs , how they operate , who they are, where is the protection from the cops, gov. If they spent half time on this issue maybe the gov would put the forces together to clean up these parts of the cities. It would seem that would be a lot more constructive than printing car bomb in Iraq and seven killed. the only reporting we get are daily on tv after the killing. 30 seconds of film. then it's off to some other event. Seems we just do not care enough about our poorer sections of the cities and crime in those cities to do anything about it. On the other hand we spend a ton of time writing and discussing murders in Iraq.
