So far this year we have had 71 in Oakland alone (I live about ten miles south) the 2007 tally was 127 , over the bridge in San Francisco the tally is 53 to date this year and 96 for 2007, in over 85% of the cases the dead were all young black or hispanic males, gang members, low education, poor employment records and coincidentally most were from either single parent or broken families with no father figures in their lives .
Don't know if stats in the UK reflect a similar situation or if its not PC to comment on them .
