It's NPR so of course:

Researchers disagree over the cause. Theories include the possibility that violence is driven by the prevalence of guns in America, or by less aggressive police tactics or a decline in prosecutions for misdemeanor weapon offenses, Nagin said.

Fatherlessness is a key factor - young males raised in a single-parent household. Half of homicide victims are young men/adolescents and 2/3rd of those are Black. We let 10s of thousands of state/federal prisoners out during COVID but they didn’t go home to the wife and kids.

An unattributed story on NPR from Associated Press with a Hairstylist surveying a wrecked apartment? I’m betting AI journalism with the editor giving any gun story a pass.

A Juneteenth celebration in Southern California came to an abrupt end Saturday evening, after one person was killed in a shooting, which left at least one other victim wounded.

It ain't even Juneteenth and these boobs are already at it!

I'm wagering 100 dead Maroons.

I'll beg you to not disparage "boobs" in that manner sir.

That, coupled with the left keeping certain parts of the population in eternal poverty sucking on the .gov teet under the guise of "helping" and keeping guns out of the poor population so they can't defend themselves in these areas...it's all such a mess

Good point. When work requirements are instituted for welfare, about 1/3 say they’ll find their own job and skip welfare, 1/3 need help finding a job, and 1/3 have issues like dependents at home, physical challenges, pregnancy, etc. Probably only 1/3 of that latter third really can’t work. But Democrats are willing to give it away to anyone and everyone to avoid making exceptions for the 10-15% off welfare applicants. One proposal is to couple work requirements to unemployment - when more jobs are plentiful, put more people to work.

But the Left wouldn’t be the Left if they supported workfare, traditional 2-parent male/female households, etc. Somehow, doing what has always shattered societies is their goal. Socialism/Communism work just fine if they’re done right, they say. Hasn’t mankind proven it can’t be “done right”?

I forget where it was but businesses were having juneteenth issues. Massive shoplifting, fights, vandalism, etc. (this was before it became a holiday, so likely one of the states where it was an actual thing at the time) Bad enough that businesses remained closed for the "holiday". Of course people cried racism and of course the local government caved and threatened the businesses so prior to the holiday, they pulled building permits and were closed for "renovations" during the holiday weekend.

Im curious to see what the damage is this weekend or if it will be reported.

Shhh. It’s racist to mention it. Notice how that huge, Juneteenth shooting was barely mentioned in the press.
