IN RESPONSE TO THE DISCOVERY OF THE CLEVELAND KIDNAPPING VICTIMS, MIKE SAYS: “IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF CRIME, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN POOR NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE NO CLOUT WITH THE POLICE, WITH THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE, WITH NO ONE. IF THIS HAPPENS IN AN UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD…IT GETS RESOLVED YEARS AGO. WATCH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TODAY WHO JUST WALK AROUND LOOKING AT THEIR CELL PHONES, TEXTING. WE DON’T KNOW EACH OTHER ANYMORE, AND ESPECIALLY IN NEIGHBORHOODS … WHERE PEOPLE LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR OF CRIME, ECONOMICS, [AND] UNEMPLOYMENT.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
