The report is actually still sweet talking the problem. If you really compare the rates (6% population responsible for 70% shootings) the rest of the populations is 35 times less likely to be shot, not 10 times like implied when compared to the total risk.
Doesn’t “disproportionalte impact” no matter what the cause require a correction to be made, under government fiat?
I expect white youths & Asian-American youths & Native American youths and some Pacific Islander-American youths to be bussed into that part of town until the impact of gun violence is equalize across all races!
I would like to see the researchers expand their inquiry outward, drawing connections between members of their co-offending Chicago network and criminals committing murder in other cities.

It’s all George Bush’s fault.
