I gotta agree with KSig RC .
Rudey-If they're killing each other off, why care?
I don't think too many people DO care. That's why it's "allowed" to continue.
It's when the guns come to the suburbs, when it's in your own back yard, that people start screaming about it. Then, they blame bussing...
For years I heard about kids getting killed for their shoes or their jackets. Mom's putting bullet proof vests on their children. Did it hit home? No, because it was happening in NY. NOW, we have metal detectors in OUR schools, bomb threats and a 5th grader
packing a gun in his bookbag. White flight and still it comes.
Why should we care? We SHOULD care because it isn't going to go away. It's NOT acceptable no matter WHAT side of the tracks you live on. In a way it reminds me of that seen in A Christmas Carol by Dickens where the phantom opens his robe and reveals
the children that represent the social ills of the world. Not exactly sure... were they poverty and despair?
