This article that I read was crazy, but true at the same time. It’s not like this stuff is fake or anything because it’s not. But it’s taking as a joke because instead of young teens death rate decreasing its increasing fast. Right now too this day we have 24 CPS student’s deaths already and we still have at least a month and a half left in this school year. They shot almost everyday when I’m walking home from school. This is ridiculous. It’s a shame that we can’t even walk home from school without hearing gun shoots and seeing gangs fights. Most of the time when they are shooting an incident by-stander is killed in the process. These murders are killing little boys and girls, mothers, fathers, and grandmothers too. They don’t even care about the incident people they are killing. I have friends that experienced the same thing as Ezell “in the article.” My friend who stays on the west side is so nervous about visiting me on the south side, because one of his friends got jump on coming over here from the west side one day. Because he has gangs tattoos on his body that can’t be cover up very easy so he just keeps his distance from over here. I personally don’t experience any problems with gangs and I believe that’s because I’m a female. Believe it or not the females in my community are involved just as well as the males are. The females gangbang hard just like the dudes do. The violence is taking a big affect on our community because it’s killing our future.
