And now comes the Uptown paper of record with it Official Root Causes editorial with regard to the murder of two CMPD officers:

The city should address the concerns residents cite about the glut of low-income, subsidized housing in the area. Such concentrations spawn other problems, including dilapidated buildings and business flight, and that situation attracts criminals and criminal activity.

I see. It wasn’t that the accused shooter never spent a day in prison for 10 years of violent criminal behavior. A few short stays in the Mecklenburg County jail, yes. Actual prison, no.

So if you want to stop the killing of cops, you must allow Section 8 housing to move in next door to you.
