Re: Newark, NJ mayor - - - 80% of shooting victims are crimi

Kennedy said that pattern of violence is not unique to Newark. "This is the way the streets work," he said. "The idea that ordinary people kill each other is nearly never true."

"The folks who pick up a gun and kill another human being are the exception, even within an active criminal population and they almost always kill people in their same social networks. So they’re killing each other, in effect. Contrary to what a lot of people think, this stuff is not random. It’s not stranger on stranger," said Kennedy. "It’s people that know each other."
...And, somewhere, the Brady Bunch is thinking, "Nuts! How the heck can we spin this? And how can we prevent Rutgers from publishing the finished study?"
