That's because a lot of the inner city residents are all on drugs, starving or money hungry greedy people. They dont care about anything except themselves. They dont pick up their garbage. They dont control their children. They dont care they dont care and they dont care. This breeds scum. Even kids can become scum if the parents are busy smoking their crack pipes when they should be teaching them fractions.

I just can't fathom the thought process of a person who has no reservations on killing someone and robbing them. How can you not see that you are taking the life of someone's son or daughter, brother or sister, father or mother. That you are about to shatter the lives of a family. That the last time that person laughed or hugged a person was truly their last, and had they known, would've never stopped. It's heart breaking. No remorse. No thought on the consequences. Just heartless. With that, I can't believe that there are those that would fight tooth and nail to protect the rights of a cold blooded killer like that and take the responsiblity away from a murderer by blaming society or the unfair advantage they had in life. There are countless success stories of people coming out of the inner city, getting an education, taking advantage of opportunities provided, making a life for themselves. You never or rarely hear anything about that. Instead, the thugish life of crime, drugs, and fast money is glorified everyday on TV and radio and in the media. That 16 year old will find out real fast that life behind bars is not so glamorous. Not seeing your family and friends and having your freedom stripped from you because you think you're a hard core gangster and you value your status amongst your thug friends over the life of another human being. Well, I hope you feel cool sitting in that cell. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy it.

I hope they convict the shooter and he gets life without parole. It just irks me that my tax dollar has to be spent keeping scum like that around for 60+ years. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll try to play tough guy with another lifer and he'll end up like Jeff Dahmer did. I'm in agreement with Sick Puppy. I don't live in Milwaukee. I come that way every now and then to visit a relative in a suburb but I don't shop, dine, or take in the sights in Milwaukee. I'm not a gambler but the odds for my safety elsewhere just seem higher.

I used to love to go shopping in milwaukee, the zoo, I no longer visit Milwaukee because I dont want to be the next one to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, It's happening way to much to way to many innocent people. Unfortunately now my children won't have the same fun memories at the zoo like I had due to afraid of bringing them there. It's a shame.

Hello sickpuppy I totally agree with you and to everyone that mentioned the welfare and Chicago that is crazy this is so true and I have heard this more then what I have read on this well when is someone going to open their eyes, I have just by traveling to and from work

Thanks everyone for the blogs!!!!!:)

Dear: Momagina As far as social poicies go wisconsin has not been a liberal state in about 20 years. I assume you have heard of w-2 which has ironically not improved anything. Furthermore we are the 3rd most segregated city in the U.S. (Chicago is #4). Yes most of Cabrini-green is down, actually about three of the white buildings on Halsted and Division are still standing. most of the Projects in Chicago have disappeared since 1995. Ironically enough this trend began in New York city right around the time Guiliani was elected. I don't believe there is anything wrong with that per se. Murder rates in many large cities have subsequently gone down. Milwaukee is up however nowhere near it's record (set in 1991). Might we do well to take a page out of that book perhaps. The real solution is when people take ownership. It's human nature to take care of what belongs to you and not some bottomfeeding property developer.

This was a terrible crime committed (one of many
this year) and hopefully the perpetrators get what they deserve, however, some of the things you all are saying are downright false and damaging to the progress the city has made in some areas. The zoo dangerous??? How have food pantries and services to the poor had a negative effect on life in Milwaukee? I don't believe any of you have spent any amount of time in Milwaukee to make an honest assessment
of what is really going on here. I have lived in Milwaukee for all 41 years of my life and enjoy the many things that are fun about this town; Summerfest, Jazz in the Park, State Fair,
Riversplash, all of the different ethnic festivals, which I know you all would NOT
appreciate, and the list goes on. Many members of my family have attended Milw. Public schools
and have gone on to be college graduates, all while living in Milwaukee. I would really prefer that you all not visit the city because you'll be the ones looking at me and my family as if we're the criminals. By the way,
that suspect (16 yrs. old) in the murder has been charged as an adult and will hopefully
spend the rest of his life in prison. See, we don't like the crime either, however, the city of Milwaukee is NOT a lost cause sickpuppy! The majority of us will stay to fight on.
