This week another school shooting happened. They were saying there were 30 in the past 45 days. My heart goes out to the families. The people in the hood unlike the rest of America know we don't ask "Why?" We know there is no answer and we have learned to face facts that some people are just "Rotten to the Core" as my mother used to say and there ain't nothing you can do to prevent this. No amount of blaming guns and the Mentally Ill is going to change that.
Every time there is two things people say is the gun debate then the Mental illness. First of all most homicides are committed by illegal guns. They beg or yell at the President like he can help. He can not prevent this and neither can congress. Passing new laws won't stop it because someone bent on killing a massive homicide will not care about obtaining a legal weapon.
The killer is Mentally ill. That makes me so mad. You stigimize this group as a person who works with these folks its really annoying. Medication is really effective treating mental illness. You might have spent an hour talking to a schizophrenic and not even know it.
Losing a child is heart wrenching no matter what the cause, homicide is However, worse because someone stole your child. I'm sure for those parents the non stop news coverage and your child is now a victim in another mass or school shooting. They also know that when the next mass shooting occurs the media will leave them alone with their grief. The country will move on but those families will be forever be destroyed. The Hood knows this because the hood is an expert at burying our young. Now if the media would cover Urban Violence the way they cover Mass shooting s maybe it would be better.
