Why do libs only protest kids dying due to war, and not due to gang violence. Any example of Crips and Bloods?

Question

being protested? Kids die in Drive-by shootings, or in gang related violence every day in America, but there are no protests. Hypocritical?

Answer 1

you make a good point. it all boils down to drugs and  people being too lazy to earn a paycheck.

Answer 2

You can protest a war and have a target to protest to (the gov't).  Gang are likely to shoot you if you show up and protest against them.  There is no central gov't for gangs.  

Answer 3

Source?  I didn't think so.

Answer 4

Libs are the most hypocritical people I've ever seen. They're all tree-hugging, give peace a chance hippies -- save the trees, save the baby seals, stop the wars. Oh, but go ahead and kill unborn babies in the womb -- that's your choice.

Answer 5

They do, but it doesn't get the news. Here's a clue: wars cost billions of dollars (gang membership doesn't). Numbers of men and women dying from wars is exponentially higher than gang deaths. There isn't a Cryp/Blood draft. If the Cryps and Bloods are killing each other, our national security isn't at grave risk. Cryps and Bloods don't invade other countries, so if people are dying, it is more personal rather than national.

I don't have Cryps and Bloods in my neighborhood, but I do have a brother in Afghanistan.

Get it?

Answer 6

Guess that's why we libs join things like Teach for America so that we can attack the issues of the inner cities at its heart through action rather than giving lip service about such travesty and blaming a party against it.

What have you done as a con to prevent gang violence?

Answer 7

Seriously?  The Democrats, who have enacted more after school programs, educational reforms, and policies aimed to fight poverty?  All leading causes of kids joining gangs?

Do some research next time.  That question does not reflect you in a positive light.

Answer 8

I protest death in wars that are not needed, especially when the person that sent them to die for a lie did not have the balls to serve when he chose to hide in the TANG.  I served while he hid and that upsets me.

Answer 9

Because being in a gang is a life choice. The people in Iraq are doing something to help their country supposedly while the kids in a gang are doing it to be cool.

If you ever have been around these types of people, the Crips or the Bloods, you would understand fully that these kids don't want to change. They live in a reality of their own. They think that if they wave a gun around and start fights that they will be respected; this is not true and few become well respected. I had the .... I guess privilege to meet some way high up MS-13 leader. He was about the coolest gang member I have ever meant but he was still a ignorant ******.

Answer 10

They're selective in who can die...babies are ok to be aborted but don't you dare try and put a convicted rapist and murderer to death...

Answer 11

Funny that you blame liberals for that one..

Clearly if the conservatives cared about children after they are born then there wouldn't be a problem with gangs.

(aren't blame games fun?)

Answer 12

i don't think that protesting the crips and bloods will have a lot of effect. but if you look at the people who work in lower income neighborhoods to provide economic opportunities for kids so that they don't turn to gangs for support, i think you will find the overwhelming majority are on the left.

protesting works for some things but not others. historically it is a public and effective way to show the government what large numbers of citizens want when they oppose a government program. iraq war = government program. gang violence does not = government program.

Answer 13

They only care about the military personnel when it is politically advantageous to do so and the gangs are only result of our horrible society jesh...

Answer 14

Would anyone in their right mind want to protest a street gang!!!!

Oh my god... why don't you give it a try and let me know how it goes down.
