In my opinion I feel that everything that was said in this article was true. It makes no sense why people are dying so much now, especially young boys. If you are not dying over bumping into somebody then your dying from what block you live on. It just doesn’t fit into my head at this point. Most of the time many boys aren’t even in a gang and they’re messed with. It’s gotten so bad now we can’t even go to school and feel that we’re protected because of who might walk in the school. And if they don’t get into the front door then one of their friends might be the idiot and let them in some other way.
I understand that the schools provide enough security but that doesn’t adjust the fact that when the security guard is on one end of the hall someone might get attacked on the other end. Most of the time it might not be the person they were aiming for. That’s another one of my concerns and agreements to the article: the fact that someone can get approached and hurt badly and that might not even be the person that their looking for.Once they finally realize it then it may be too late to turn away; now you’ve just taking someone’s life. I have always thought about the fact when they’re hurting someone do they realize that’s a women’s gift from God. In fact I have seen this so many times when someone is in a gang and they play the tough guy and get killed. Then everyone looks stupid afterwards and swears up and down that they’re going to change their life after seeing their friend in a casket about to be buried in the ground and will no longer see them again. Then about a week later they’re back to the same crap they did before that person was killed, I just don’t understand it and I never will.
