The violence taking place around this city is getting worse and worse each passing year. Now we have a football game where NOBODY, not even parents, are allowed to attend because of the threat of violence. What a truly sad situation that is. The reason it has become this bad is because it has not gotten the top priority it deserved years ago. It might not have been ignored, but it certainly wasn't addressed like it should have been, way before it got to this point.

 

Unfortunately, this type of violence will continue to get worse unless it gets addressed and gets addressed HARD, and it starts with the communities where the heaviest violence is taking place. Everybody must get involved in trying to change the current violent culture to make any kind of progress and we all know it won't be easy. There has to be strict consequences for all of those who are responsible for the violence taking place.

 

If this current culture of violence is not addressed like it needs to be addressed, how long until it finds your neighborhood, or work place and then becomes your problem?
