PHILADELPHIA, PA.- November 8, 2007 - They're young, They're dangerous
and they are determined to cause eternal doom on the world. Young
African American Males contributed to 80% of violent crime in Kansas
City, even though African Americans were merely less than 30% of the
population. Philadelphia is over 50% African American and has over 230
murdered young African American men, but who is to blame? According to
some African American leaders of racial equality, African American
genocide is a direct result of slavery, a part of history that can
never be erased, thus resulting in a perpetual cycle of crime amongst
African Americans.

Debate is hot over Senate Bill 226, which would amend the Mental Health Procedures Act of 1976 by adding an article providing for "Assisted Outpatient Treatment". This proposed law would allow for involuntary commitment to outpatient services, sheriff or police authorization to forcibly bring an individual to a physician's office for evaluation, forcible court-ordered medication, regular blood testing to enforce compliance, and a "treatment plan" that is a matter of public court record and submitted to a judge, for any individual deemed "unlikely to 'survive safely' in the community without supervision."

Philadelphia journalist and lawyer David A. Love, writes that "The nationwide problem of prison overcrowding provides a perfect opportunity for society to examine real prison reform....With over 2.2 million people incarcerated in its federal, state and local institutions, no other country imprisons as many of its people per capita - or in absolute numbers for that matter - as the United States.... Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell is proposing alternative sentencing for nonviolent drug offenders, including early release, drug treatment, and recidivism prevention programs. This, as the Keystone State faces a crisis of prison overcrowding, with a legacy of tough sentencing and life without parole that has broken up families and ravaged poor communities, yet has done nothing to address the troubling homicide rate in cities such as Philadelphia."
