Does this story surprise anyone that a policy like this existed under Obama?

Promise program is to reduce violence for "Afican American" young men. Shooter was not in the program. Quoting Breitbart news is like quoting Huffington Post.

The first article said that he didn't attend the program, only that he was supposed to be going to it instead of getting in trouble, as a diversion program.

There should be a program where they send trouble youths to a gentrified chain gang, but instead of doing hard labor, the learn trades and work for free to make the program self sufficient. That way, when they get out, they have usable skills.

It should not be earmarked just for minorities. That would make it a racist program.
