I think that it isn’t safe anywhere in Chicago. It is bad that some mothers and fathers have to think about if their child is safe. They carry their burdens of their king and their kids still lose their lives over something stupid or an accident. The police are not doing anything about it; all I want to know how and when are the police going to stop this insanity. I mean every time you turn on the television someone has lost their mainly high school students. The mayor of Chicago Richard Daley is doing more talking about the killing of teens then really taking action about the thing. I really think that the mayor don’t care about what going on in the Englewood community. He sees this as a minor issue and not a major one this should be on top of his list not those pot holes in the street o, the CTA money problem or the Olympics, but the death of 24 Chicago public school student that have died and people seems to be getting away with.
The police, do we even have police in this city if we do they are not making there self seen in the streets. The police don’t be out enforcing the law like they should. They need to get out in the street and make a statement to the violence that is going on in the streets. I feel like the police don’t do anything because they fear for their life, but if they don’t do any thing people are just going to run all over them.
Some of the kids that died have died for wrong reason. Sometimes I don’t feel safe walking to and from school and that should not be.
