Much like the now $11 Billion homelessness hustle in our state, the "Gun Violence" hustle nationwide is a cash cow for sanctimonious, protectors pretenders of public safety.

“Everybody can get a grant, everybody gets paid,” said Jamal Johnson, a former Marine and anti-violence activist in Philadelphia. “It’s the new hustle.”

"As gun violence has surged nationwide, dispensing massive sums of money to grassroots anti-violence organizations has become fashionable across all levels of government. The appeal, it seems, is that these feel-good initiatives offer something like the “thoughts and prayers” mantra invoked after mass shootings—a way for city officials to demonstrate that they’ve done something even if it has no measurable impact on the problem at hand."

...and if you use statistics to point out which demographics are committing most of these daily shootings in Baltimore, Chicago, etc. they just blame 'institutional racism' and say it's not their fault, and you're racist for even mentioning the issue.

Basically, as with most things these days. It's all wyt peplz fault.
