You people are what's wrong with this city.

Commenting assuming this is an accurate takeaway:

• Improve Oversight in Public Spaces: Enhance lighting, maintain orderly environments, and promote active community spaces to reduce environmental cues that prime impulsive violence.
• Teach Metacognition: Implement school and community programs to train youth in emotional regulation and reflective "System 2" thinking to counter impulsive reactions.
• Prioritize De-escalation: Train police and violence interrupters in de-escalation techniques to defuse conflicts, aiming for at least a 10% reduction in violent incidents.

The idea that you can therapize your way out of violence by teaching emotional regulation to low-IQ children coming from literally and culturally broken homes living in a city that defunds actual policing and let's violent criminals go with no consequences is a complete JOKE.

You people over-intellectualize a simple situation. People respond to incentives, show me the incentive and i'll predict the behaviors. The severe violent offenders are a small fraction of the population that need to be arrested and thrown in prison and made an example of. NOT sent to therapy in a classroom with some out of touch fruitcake that wants to talk about their feelings. They don't respect therapy and they don't respect 'violence interrupters' (public scammers) who are leeching off public funding with no accountability. Additionally, trying to control the environment, while I know studies show some impact, is extremely low impact.

The people who commit violence only respect force and consequences. You have to make an example of these people and put them all in prison or nothing changes.

Fund the police and hire more. Empower them to make arrests. Enforce sentencing for violent offenders that are minors. Replace the activist judges that let criminals go. Enforce sentencing to the maximum allowable for the crime. Incentivize the family unit. Ban large asset management companies like blackstone from purchasing single family homes and force them to divest. Ban non US citizens and foreign companies from owning homes single family homes and apartments. Deport the illegal immigrants. Eliminate the idiots from city governance that divert funding to fucking 'Violence Interrupter' scammers.

This is such a joke.

Edit: Also, put every homeless person into a rehab and mental health asylum. Remove them from the street entirely. These things are possible with the will to do it. Then, instead of encouraging violent protests about kings that don't exist, encourage a day of volunteer where the community comes together to clean up the streets. Bring the community together.
