A quote from interview with Kerry Burke who has been reporting on crime for the New York Daily News, primarily homicides—or murder and mayhem, as he tends to call it
I go into these houses and there aint no men. I walk into these places and there aint no men. There are mothers and grandmothers, and there are these children that belong to whom exactly? Families are fractured. I see the unwanted children. Sometimes they are males around, but theyre the cats who are living off of the women. They are on the couch, there for the drink and the drugs or whatever money she has. They are the broken men. But there are no men. There are no fathers. Time and time again.
