I mean I get what you're saying. I just don't know how effective that is. By effective I mean tackling the system of gang violence.

Look at Nipsey he was trying to make a change but he ended up getting kill because of street politics? Is that what you call it? The guy pretty much got mad because Nipsey didn't want to work with a snitch. Don't get me wrong the guy should have never pull that gun on Nipsey. But the guy never came up to him on any "street bullshit". He needed help to get a job. I thought the goal was to help make a change? But Nipsey turn him down due to street politics.

my point is that things are relative.

if you've always known something as one way, your standard for improving things might be different from someone else's. and what you might view as bad all around, someone else might see some good in it (like, their gang experience).

as far as Nipsey's death, it was a tragic thing, but such encounters don't always lead to murder, and people also get murdered for disagreements in other scenarios.
