This Saddens Me....

I know that Blogs are about having fun, but this is something that has been on my mind for a couple of days. My hometown, Atlantic City, has really gotten out of hand since the Police Chief was forced to let go of 20+ officers last month. Currently I live about 20mins away from the city but it still hits home. In the past 5 weeks, there have been 5 homicides. The part that bothers me the most is that no one is steeping up to the plate to say anything about a shooting. 5 lives, ranging from 19-30 years of age, have been lost over something stupid. No arrests have been made in either case. It’s funny how we claim we’re grown but are still worried about “tattle telling” more than we’re worried about the safety of our children’s future. In all honesty, we really need to stop and think about the future more than “right now”. “Right Now” is only going to last for right now. But our future is as stake and we should have far more concerns about what may happen to our off-spring if we don’t do something now…
