Comments Thread For: Muhammad Ali's Hometown Hopes To End Rising Bloodshed

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For one week last spring, as Louisville led the world in mourning Muhammad Ali's death and celebrating his life, not a single person died in a hail of ******* in the boxing great's hometown. The silence was welcome in a city wrestling with an explosion of violence. Leaders hoped the cease-fire might stick - that the send-off for The Champ would mark a turning point, a city-wide reckoning with its failure to live up to Ali's legacy of respect for all human life.

If you read the story you would know that his hometown wants to use Ali's message and his values to rebuild the area and stop the violence.

Ali and his legacy isnt gonna fix that problem. Ali was of the older generation that took pride in self-determination, self-reliance.

This current crop of misfits doesnt give a f***

Narcotics are a huge problem in that area.

Politicians, police, banks, and business owners have been among those caught being involved in the illegal drug business in Kentucky. If the people at the top are rotten that's going to spread to the streets as well.

It's inevitable.

Louisville needs to get Chicago to give shooting advice on death

Louisville officials need to go to chicago and Detroit and Baltimore for great advice and direction on how to manage the inner city killings and open warfare and mayhem and death of the coloreds killing each other. These war zones killing fields in most american ******s err cities are hilarious with no solution in sight. Life means almost nothing in Americas inner cities=valueless. sad in a way'
no leadership or role models just guns drugs and violence.
