I think that the parents are also a big part of the "solution - problem" , and if those parents were part of the solution , then they could stop some of the vilolence However , the schools and churches are irrelevent since these creeps are not going to school or church , the drugs that they are selling and using are the problem and until this country can do something about drugs this will never abate let alone stop! It is probably impossible to stop drugs , we have been fighting drugs for a very long time and oit has only gottne worse the violence surrounding this "culture" is not only repugnant but counterproductive to the establishment and perpetuation of a safer society . By the way, eliminating guns is plain stupid, that was tried in various locales with disatrous results . In the meantime get a good lock for your doors and an alarm system for your huse and a dog and last but not least a very goosd gun with a back up!
