The Breakdown of the Family

At least in Chicago. The parents are to blame for raising such men. Man gets 4 years for shooting younger brother he was 'tired of' - CWB Chicago

Brown woke his brother up around 2 a.m., stated, “I’m tired of you,” and shot him in the chest and arm, prosecutors claimed at the time. He then instructed his younger brother not to tell anyone about the shooting, prosecutors said.

Instead, the boy got up and asked his mom to call 911. When police arrived, Brown was covering his brother’s wounds with a blanket.

Family has disagreements, but when family turns to firearms to settle those disputes, the family has been destroyed. So the Left has achieved that much, at least in the inner cities. Life means nothing.

If he was willing to kill his own brother, what do you think he would be willing to do to a perfect stranger?

As these stories often do, this story has reminded me of the poem "The Second Coming," by William Butler Yeats. The entire text of the poem, it isn't long, and can be found at the link. The part I always think of is...

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

It was written in 1919, after the First World War. Go read the whole thing.
