Sad how the impoverished communities get brought down more and more by vices like this. It's ultimately the children who suffer and who see no hope of getting out.
A few months in Camden really opened my eyes to this and changed how I look at the world.
I was there in July & August '91 & '92
One guy in our group got shot in the back loading a bunch of kids into a van after a basketball game.
But when we'd go into people's homes the price tag on their milk was 6 bucks! They had to buy it at the liquor store. They had to cash their checks there too. These were senior citizens.
I never understood how no one except the churches was there to help the kids and the old people. It has to be in the best interest of Camden County if not all of NJ to not let the city degenerate even further, right?
Quoting: SaltWaterTaffyIt would be in the best interest of the state and the nation to encase the city in a dome and fire it into space, then allow the residents to individually re-apply for US Citizenship. The only people who are still living in Camden are the irredeemably evil or those without the means to escape. It might also be pointed out that NJ's ridiculous gun laws are coming back to bite its citizens in the butt just now. The gangs seem to have no problems acquiring fire power but the law abiding citizens are screwed.
