Yes, per capita.

As an afterthought to what I posted above about Aurora, I meant to say Detroit and Chicago guns and drugs. Aurora may be the gang center for Chicago. Looks like it.

YOu know what surprises me about that city list? Omaha and Chicago gang communities are on there, but not LA's Compton?? Or East LA??

Weird. They must be settling down out there.

oh, missed it: it's listed as just LA.

In FL, it's still on the books that you can't tie your elephant to the post outside of a bar.

Where is baby Lisa???

Her mom failed a lie detector test. She stopped being cooperative with police. Then it comes out a few days after the disappearance that her mom was drunk. She has no clue what happened the night baby Lisa went missing? She was with her neighbor, drinking.

Now, a cadaver dog sniffed a dead body on the parent's premises. .

* Each year, South Dakota removes an average of 700 Native American children from their homes. Indian children are less than 15 percent of state's the child population, but make up more than half the children in foster care.

* Despite the Indian Child Welfare Act, which says Native American children must be placed with their family members, relatives, their tribes or other Native Americans, native children are more than twice as likely to be sent to foster care as children of other races, even in similar circumstances.

* Nearly 90 percent of Native American children sent to foster care in South Dakota are placed in non-native homes or group care.

* Less than 12 percent of Native American children in South Dakota foster care had been physically or sexually abused in their homes, below the national average. The state says parents have "neglected" their children, a subjective term. But tribe leaders tell NPR what social workers call neglect is often poverty; and sometimes native tradition.

* A close review of South Dakota's budget shows that they receive almost $100 million a year to subsidize its foster care program.

In downtown Carmel, CA, you can't eat ice cream on the sidewalk or walk in high heels on the grass. And a million other things.

BUMP..

In FL there is a great controversy surrounding Stand Your Ground Law and the outcome in the death of Trayvon Martin..

So far the State Attorney, Angela Corey has decided a Grand Jury will not be needed to decide 1st degree charges against Martin.

We are awaiting to see if there will be any charges brought against Zimmerman in this case.

Will there be Justice for Trayvon..
