There's been 9 murders last year near my old house and it was one of the better areas once. This year, gang shootings have killed several teenagers in Sacramento, 3 I think in the south and three more just last week in the north. People are being foreclosed on, and whites cant sell a house to save their souls. Lots of blacks, hispanics and skinny tattooed white people. So glad I moved.
I remember when people mourned in the privacy of homes, family or otherwise. Nothing private about a murder scene, and I lose sympathy for someone who supposedly mourns by acting out in violence. Save it for a terrorist funeral.
I have long been tired of people taking advantage of public good will to turn public places into constant reminders of someone’s violent end. We used to plant bluebonnets on medians, now you’re just as likely to find a cross. Or its modern day replacement for many people, the mylar balloon and plastic flower.
You said it.
