All Memorials are not appropriate

My newsfeed was full of outrage the past two days because someone decided that he wanted to paint a mural in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh.  Homewood, the place where at least a thousand people have died over the past 31 years.  A man decided that the mural wanted to be a memorial for the latest mass shooting.  It might have been nice in another neighborhood but not in Homewood. The residents were outraged because most people felt that they lost loved ones to gun violence and that their loved ones deserve to be honored in their own community unlike the people in Las Vegas they lived in died right in that community. So let me get this straight you think you can come into a community and sell them a service or open a business but you think that its OK to disrespect an entire community. I could truly understand if the owner was related to anyone killed in Vegas but he didn't know anyone.
 

A lot of people wondered why if he must honor victims of mass shootings why he did not pick The Wilkinsburg shooting that happened in the next town over from Homewood and most of the victims killed were from Hilltop in HOMEWOOD.  I guess that was to much like right for the owner.  Its bad enough that the Wilkinsburg shooting was downplayed anyway but the National Media but to bypass our own dead for outsiders.  What was he thinking?

Now the hood has compassion for the people who are killed in these mass shootings, however, they get all the attention but do not have anywhere near the body count that normal every day shootings in the hood have. The causalities are caused because the Media teaches Middle America they should run.  Your actually murdering your own fellow citizens because you and others are trampling people who hit the ground.  You do NOT run nor do you keep your head up.  I bet there is not a cop in America who would have people run to get away from a shooter. We do not generally have angry men and women who decide that they want to end their lives and take as many as they can.  I also believe that they love the mass shootings because it makes the Media relevant.  I personally would never even publish his name or anything about the man because he doesn't deserve to have his name known. I bet if you did that you would not have anyone shooting up places.


Property owners do not have the right to do whatever they want most suburbs have laws stating what you can and cannot do in your neighborhood.  We also have the right to tell property owners what not to do in our neighborhoods.  All we want is some common decency when it comes to what is appropriate because I am sure that most people are aware of the problems in the hood.
