How much violence is too much?(details )

Asked by MrGrimm888 (19010points) September 2nd, 2016

In August 92 people were killed and more than 400 wounded in Chicago, Illinois USA.

The community says they feel ‘ignored’ by the government.

At what point does this amazing amount of violence get the attention of the government?

Years ago New York city was really bad. They put ‘a cop on each corner, ’ and found places for the homeless. Crime rates improved.

Word from Chicago is that the police are underfunded. How is this possible?

I’ve heard from policemen, current and former, that certain areas of high crime are ignored by police,because they don’t have the recourses to patrol such dangerous places.

The USA is just putting the final touches on its F-35 fighter jet. A program that cost tax payers BILLIONS of dollars. These planes will cost billions more in the next 20 years in maintenance. WTF?

How can this use of money be justified when the money is clearly needed HERE in America, not in a battlefield thousands of miles away.

Is air superiority more important than protecting our own cities population?

The F-35 is just one example of the misuse of our tax money, when is enough ,enough?
