Why does it seem that it is so easy for these teens to go out and deprive another person of their life. People complain about our young men dying in defense of our country and our countries interests yet, where is the outcry with sensless killings here at home. When are we as a nation going to stand up and take control once again? Our politicians sure aren't doing anything to help. As citizens, we need to take a stand and responsiblilty and put a stop to thugs taking over our streets and shooting each other and innocents all the time.

No father, no upbringing, no education, no job. You expected maybe something different from The Great Society? Oh, I forgot……no snitching on a brotha. Stand and take responsibility? surely you jest.
