Does Dr. Lloyd really think that somehow the Black community will be able to rehabilitate violent criminal activity? The men and women were raised in that community. The community failed to keep them from engaging in criminal activity. The community failed to stop the criminal activity. The state steps in because the community failed. We aren’t taking about a kid swiping gum from the Circle K. We are talking about using a gun to knock over the Circle K. Now maybe the community could be valuable in reintroducing and rehabilitating the person after their time in jail is over.
